SEASON TICKETS SALES SURGE AHEAD

7th June 2004

The number of season tickets sold at the end of the discount period yesterday, 6 June, was 4200. This compares with 3900 sold at the end of the equivalent discount period last year, 12 July 2003.

Dundee United director Derek Robertson said ," It's been difficult to draw direct comparisons this year, following the introduction of new schemes. However the end of the discount period does allow a fair comparison to be made and we are absolutely delighted that sales are well ahead of last year's equivalent figure. We would like to thank all of our supporters who have bought their tickets earlier than usual and helped us with our budget planning.

In common with previous years, there will now be a lull in sales until towards the start of the season. However with season tickets still providing a considerable saving on gate prices, we expect that many supporters will still wish to take advantage. Last year, between the end of the discount period and the first few weeks of the season, we sold nearly 1000 season tickets. If we do so again this year, we will be ahead of our targets for the year."
