SWINDON Town has announced season tickets are now available to purchase and renew online following a delay in the operating system going live due to “inherited issues.”

Previously, supporters had only been able to buy season tickets in person, and later over the phone, with the online purchasing system the last to go live.

Despite the problems that Town have had to overcome in order to allow fans to book their seats at the County Ground for the coming campaign, over 3000 season tickets have been sold in a little over a fortnight.

The latest update from the County Ground revealed 3207 season tickets have been sold, with the club hopeful that its aim of reaching 6000 could be achieved now every method of purchasing is available.

In the days after Clem Morfuni took over as owner and chairman, Town launched its Race to 6K campaign as the club strived to start an efficient rebuild following a summer of turmoil.

Town have made a highly-impressive start in reaching their target and could pass the 4000 mark prior to Saturday’s first League Two home game against Carlisle United.

In a recent statement, Swindon thanked everyone who has already bought a season ticket for the 2021-22 campaign.

The club said: “We want to extend a big thank you to those who purchased Season Tickets at our ticket windows and over the phones over the last few weeks, giving us the immediate cash flow boost that has allowed us to get in a position to offer online card purchases.”

Town later went on to provide an update to fans about season cards and when they might be able to collect or have tickets delivered.

Swindon said: “Anyone who purchased a 2021-22 season ticket and requested a card prior to Monday, August 9, your cards have been sent to an external printer who is dispatching them, and supporters will receive these to their registered address on Friday. Supporters do not need to do anything.

“All purchases made online will receive a digital ticket which the ticket office will fulfil on the relevant afternoon to your registered email.

“Any supporters who had purchased a season ticket between Monday and Wednesday afternoon have been issued a digital card, but if you had requested a physical card (only if you purchased between Monday - Wednesday), please email queries@swindontownfc.co.uk and the ticket office can advise.”
