Attendances....

Last game of the season, an 8th sell out, and still we had people strolling up about 15 minutes before KO and surprised to be told we’d sold out of tickets on the gate meaning they’d have to queue on the off-chance they could get in.

There shouldn't be any advance tickets, its non league FFS. I spent an hour queuing in the car park yesterday, which was annoying. Whats wrong with anyone who fancies going, just turns up and pays on the gate?

From a personal POV just having pay on the gate without a sophisticated ticketing system would give one no idea of how many people are in the ground and when Champion Hill is full. This also fails to take account of any season ticket holders who might or might not turn up. Additionally as we found in the past we would still get people rocking up at about quarter to & waiting ages in the queue to get in. POTG would work well when demand does not exceed capacity but that’s not the case at CH these days.

Do we have a sophisticated ticketing system?

We do.

Oh ok then.

Maybe the club can invest in a few of these sophisticated devices with all the money from the bar sales

So with those, what happens if 200 season ticket holders turn up at 2.55 and there's already 3,334 inside?

From the club's point of view online sales makes sense as it's money in the bank. If, for example, you restricted online sales to 2,000, then a lot of cash buyers may not attend if the weather's bad, the team are shite or the six nations is on. If they choose to do that but have bought a ticket, DHFC still get the. cash.

Only way round that is probably season book smartcards and electronic turnstiles which you rarely see even at Championship level, and is excessive for Dulwich

First home game of season 2022/23 against Braintree - attendance 1,808 compared to first home game of 2021/22 season 1,922
Hamlet support always starts slowly - but would seem to be on the same trajectory as last season

We actually sold many more tickets than this which would have taken it comfortably past the 2000 mark, but due to the holiday season (and possibly transport issues) it was lower. Bodes well though!

Wow. So more than 200 bought a ticket but didn’t show up?!
Assuming, what, 400 season tickets in attendance and 400 buying on the gate (both complete guesses) means 1200 pre-bought tickets, 200 of which are no shows - or 17%?
That’s a lot of flaky people…

It was mostly season ticket holders, was poorly worded from me, yesterday was a record for pre-bought ticket sales for an opening day
 
6th August Home game
8th highest non league attendance - all above in Conference
highest in North and South

(unless Macclesfield or another phoenix club got more)
 
13th September 2022 - Dulwich Hamlet v Hemel Hempstead Town - attendance 970
one of Hamlet lowest in many years

Miserable wet night (rained consistently), day after Gavin Rose left as manager and unclear if it was going ahead because of death of QEII, and mid week
