My proper egg chasing team, Wakefield Trinity, have a DD option for the following season - so I pay £26 mth during 2019 and get a season ticket for the 2020 season. For this I also get free entries put in a weekly draw with the top prize being £250 - so if I win this I will have more or less had it paid for me! As well as other prizes on offer.
You can also upgrade the season ticket to "platimum" for a shirt and special polo shirt - £50 extra at the end of the year I think - as well as discounts around the Wakefield area with your season ticket.
Would be good if TUFC offered something like this......

So given that Notts County have sold 1500 so far, your estimate of 550 definitely sold plus whatever for the Pop side looks fairly good in comparison.

How many did we sell last year? And Does anyone know how many we have sold so far, to see how we are comparing? Does the club announce numbers towards the end of the pre season or at any point?

What is the general consensus of what figure would be good and what would be bad for this years season ticket sales.

What incentives are there for Season Ticket Holders other than it is slightly more cost effective and guarantees a seat in the seating areas?

I personally feel we should incentivise STH more to try and get more of them. Perhaps:

1) First dibs on away tickets and FA Cup tickets?
2) 5-10% discount in the club store?
3) "money can't buy" opportunities - e.g Jamie Reid comes round your house for a game of Fifa - watch him around the mrs though! Or you get to have a go at the cross bar thing at half time, like you're in the raffle by default being a season ticket holder? Stuff like that?
