23/24 Ticketing Update

Having entered the final month of an enthralling Sky Bet League One campaign, we are writing to supporters to provide an update on ticketing for the 23/24 season.

News on season tickets for the upcoming campaign is just around the corner, and we thank supporters for their patience.

In order to help supporters make their decisions ahead of next season, we are able to confirm a few items in advance of releasing season ticket information.

Firstly, with 10,000 season ticket holders currently attending games at Home Park, it is unlikely that the club will be in a position to accept new season ticket applications. There are two exceptions to this rule, however.

Firstly, Evergreen members who signed up before 15 March will be eligible to apply for a season ticket. This will also be an option for supporters who hold a 22/23 Flexi ticket.

The offer to Flexi ticket holders comes in tandem with the difficult decision to end the Flexi ticket scheme from next season.

It is the consistently high attendances at Home Park which have ultimately led to the decision to end the Flexi ticket scheme.

In its various guises, from White memberships to Flexi tickets, the scheme was designed to provide a discounted option for supporters who could not justify a season ticket, but could commit to a number of home fixtures on a priority basis. In return, at a time in which Home Park was rarely approaching capacity, Argyle were beneficiaries of a future commitment from supporters to attend games, and a steady influx of ticketing revenue.

However, the landscape has changed at Home Park. 15 of our 20 league fixtures at the Theatre of Greens have sold out this season, with the prospect of more on the cards. Demand has invariably outstripped supply, and sales of tickets at the Flexi rate significant reduces the club’s ticketing turnover for matches where demand for tickets exceeds our capacity – a regular, and growing, occurrence.

In addition, the introduction of the club’s membership scheme, Evergreen, provides an alternative means for supporters without a season ticket to gain ticketing priority over General Sale. With over 2,000 members and rising, there is a solid overlap between supporters who are Evergreen members and those who hold a Flexi ticket.

The club acknowledges that this will be disappointing to a number of supporters who currently benefit from Flexi ticket status, and we sympathise.

However, by communicating this decision well ahead of next season, and by offering the exclusive opportunity to upgrade to a season ticket, we have committed to providing multiple options for those who currently use the scheme.

Flexi ticket holders will have the chance to secure their seat at an almost unparalleled time in our history for attendances at Home Park, or elect to become an Evergreen member to not only retain ticketing priority, but also enjoy a more rounded package of benefits than holding a Flexi ticket.

We thank supporters for their understanding, and look forward to sharing season ticket information in due course.
