Speaking of the welcome news, ticket office manager John Ford told the Official Club Website: "The sales have been excellent and we have been delighted with the tally and it's still growing.
"It's shows the incredible loyalty of the fans here and from the information we are getting it looks as though we will have more season ticket holders than Leeds and Sunderland this year. I expect West Ham, Leicester and Wolves to be above us but I certainly think we will be in the top six for sales this year."
Last term Town had around 18,500 season ticket holders by the time the Nationwide League Division One campaign got underway.
