Plus most people will have just been paid in January which is always a tough month due to most being paid earlier in December, usually a 5 week month.

I think anything that encourages any pre purchase of tickets is good, especially if it also empowers your club's best asset ( its fans ) to be able to encourage others to attend with them ,admittetedly it is more relevant at all ticket venues like the LSV

Agree that four games wasn't enough. We do need to experiment with different ticket deals but one at a time so that they don't seem too complicated. I think the clubs could work together more and put together what is effectively a corporate deal for their division. Once you've bought a ticket, you're committed but, equally, if you're only going to buy one ticket at a time, people are going to be put off by the idea of visiting the stadium in advance of every match to buy an advance ticket. Being able to buy four at once was a great idea.

Opportunity missed here.

Only if it's physically smaller so I can fit it in my tiny wallet

The Mini-Season ticket was designed as an option for those Supporters who would not want a Conventional Season Ticket because:
1. Their work commitments compelled them to miss too many matches to justify a season ticket; or
2. They had other reasons not to be able to attend all Home Matches; or
3. They wished to organise a group of friends to attend a particular match or matches.
All those groups have had 2 months to make a decision to buy the ticket(s), or not. Sales on those terms must end before the first home match of the season, otherwise the whole crowd could be queuing (in 4s) at the Ticket Office, to get reduced price entry, with consequent chaos outside the ground.
Of course, we will review this initiative, and an announcement of the terms of any repeat in 2016 will be made when the Fixtures for that season are known.

Thanks for explaining the club position Michael.I don't necessarily agree that having them on sale all season would cause crowd chaos(hint of optimism there ).
I have purchased one already and intended getting more later.

Could just say the mini season ticket is not available to purchase on a game day.
