25k Season Tickets Goal for 2011

Thought I'd bump this because Mark Johnson is reporting that we have over 23K season ticket holders for next season.
Good. Less to give away.
Selling them for the equivalent of $13 per game is pretty darn close. Not that I mind. Get people involved and buying in. I am thrilled that they're selling the tickets.
Got over a month to push this, too.
With a good season, we could be looking at 30k for 2012. My opinion is that once we hit 90% capacity for season tickets + student tickets, then it's time to talk expansion. That means we'd need to get our season ticket base to 35k. I think that's a very reasonable 5 year plan.

30k is extremely aggressive. Not that I mind the homerism, but has cu ever had 30k season tix holders? You are talking about a 33% increase in 2 years.... That's pretty insane, even at discounted prices.
Increasing any business by 33% over a 2 year period when you're relaunching a tired old brand that had been run into the ground to the point it was only purchased by loyalists but was recently picked up by a much stronger distributor isn't exactly blowing the numbers out. Especially since the 5k we look like we'll pick up for this year (25% increase) are the early adopters who responded to the rebranding. The 5k (20% increase) I am hoping for next year was with the caveat of "following a good season" since that would get the fence sitters who are waiting to see if all the changes and promises actually result in a better product that others like. The 5k for this year was actually the more difficult number of a 2-year plan, assuming that Embree delivers a winner.
Hold on there pardner. I'd suspect a very big portion of that increase is the result of folks buying the $130 season ticket package. Before there's any serious talk of expansion, they'll want to bump those prices up a bit.
Still if they can sell 30K+ in season tickets in a 54K stadium, they're doing pretty well. I am looking forward to the day when Folsom holds (and fills) 80K. It probably won't happen in my lifetime, but I'd love to see it. 80K is the magic number. Put 80,000 people in the stands and you're out-drawing the Broncos. That will get the media on your side.

A lot does depend on price. Extra home game next year will cause an increase, too. Hopefully we don't suffer much attrition. Winning season should deliver that, too.
count me stunned
Noice!
