Fleetwood Town’s Commercial Manager, Sam Heaney has provided an update on a very successful 2022/23 season for the Commercial Department.
HOSPITALITY
At Fleetwood Town, we pride ourselves on our first-class hospitality offerings and this season we have seen an unprecedented number of bookings, with over 80% of our home fixtures selling out, including our last home game of the season against Ipswich Town. We would like to thank everyone who has booked in for one or several games this season.
Fleetwood Town saw a growth in our Scottish fan base this season following the appointment of manager, Scott Brown, at the beginning of the season, and we have had a large number of Celtic supporters take advantage of our hospitality offerings to come and support the Celtic legend.
In February this year, we had 70 members of the McCods in the Parkside Lounge for our League fixture against Burton Albion cheering on the Cods. We have also seen a number of international supporters in hospitality, including guests from Holland, Portugal, the USA, New Zealand, Ireland and more!
We would also like to give a special thank you to all of our hospitality season ticket holders. We have seen a record number of seasonal hospitality guests this season, and we already have more hospitality season ticket enquiries for the 2023/24 season. For more information about our hospitality season tickets for next season, get in contact with our Commercial Team (details below).
Fleetwood Town also announced a new partnership with Seat Unique this season, who are now the Club’s Official Hospitality and Ticketing Platform. The partnership has proven very successful from the outset, allowing guests to book hospitality tickets whenever they want, quickly and seamlessly, from the comfort of their own homes - we look forward to working with them more in the future.
LED BOARDS
A number of fans noticed a huge difference at Highbury at our Lancashire Derby in February in the form of brand-new, revolutionary LED advertising perimeter boards. We partnered with Project Digital UK to bring a new and creative way of advertising at Fleetwood Town that will allow advertisers to create real-time and relevant messages during every game.
With these new state-of-the-art LED boards, we aim to bring more revenue into the Club and provide businesses with an eye-catching and innovative way of getting their branding seen by thousands of local and national supporters.
We have a range of packages available, so we are guaranteed to have something to suit your business, and our Commercial Team are always on hand to help guide you through the process. Contact us for more information.
BUSINESS CLUB
Our Business Club at Fleetwood Town saw great success during the 2022/23 football season with a number of record attendances at our bi-weekly meetings and plenty of new faces!
The aim of the Business Club is to grow links with the business community and provide a platform for local businesses to promote themselves to fellow members of this exclusive club.
The group regularly refers hundreds of thousands of pounds of business to each other every year, and we now have businesses from over 30 different sectors as members of the club.
There is a range of packages available to suit every business, which also includes hospitality at Fleetwood Town and advertising opportunities at Highbury Stadium to allow you to get even more involved with the Club.
If you would like to join the group, contact a member of our Commercial Team who will invite you down to one of our bi-weekly meetings at Poolfoot Farm to show you the endless possibilities of the Fleetwood Town Business Club!
CLUB PARTNER & SPONSORS
We would also like to say a massive thank you to all the businesses that have worked with the Club over the season. The support from our recurring Club Partners and Sponsors is exceptional. At Fleetwood Town, we pride ourselves on creating a family bond with all of the people that we work with, and so we are thrilled to be able to work with these businesses season after season.
We have also seen a number of new brands on display at Highbury Stadium and Poolfoot Farm, including our new Back of Shirt Sponsor, Footasylum, and the Official Sponsor of our matchday 50/50 tickets, Elite Competitions, who were also the sleeve sponsor for our televised FA Cup fixture in which up to 1.1 million people tuned in to watch Fleetwood Town take on Ebbsfleet United on ITV.
We look forward to continuing to build on all of these partnerships for many more seasons to come and continuing to grow as a Club with the help of these fantastic businesses.
