Huddersfield Town's £179 Season Card offer, made available by chairman Dean Hoyle for 2016/17 with the Terriers set to bag increased television revenues for next season, was always set to be a popular initiative but the club have found themselves blown away by the demand from supporters.
The tickets went on sale last Thursday (17 March) with fans arriving at the ticket office from 4:15am onwards to make sure of their seat at the John Smith's Stadium for next season.
Fast forward to the close of business on Monday and 11,000 had been shifted, in person, on the phone and online.
Having initially discounted prices to £179 for adults, £69 for 8-17 year-olds and £23 for under-8's, Huddersfield set a target of 10,000 sales but with that figure having been and gone, Mr Hoyle has extended the deal to the next 4,000 people who buy.
“The speed of sales is a record for the Club; unprecedented, even for the £100 Centenary offer back in 2008," he told his club's official website on Tuesday.
“It’s been an amazing few days at the Ticket Office and I’d like to thank everyone who has already bought their Season Card."
Huddersfield's offer has been made under the #WagnerRevolution as their new head coach makes his mark in West Yorkshire.
I think the £179 offer would have been hugely successful anyway but results like Saturday's 4-1 away win in a local derby at Leeds cannot do it any harm!
