Do we know how many season tickets was sold (and paid for) before the decision of 15 "extra" points deduction?

Re Leeds United penalty vote at the Football League I am writing this letter to you as part of an appeal organised by Leeds United Supporters Trust. May I begin by acknowledging that thanks are due to Lord Mawhinney and Andrew Williamson and his team at the League for finding a way to allow Leeds United to take its place in the league next season in what must have been extraordinarily difficult circumstances for all concerned. May I also mention that the Supporters Trust fully understands that the Football League needs to have rules in place to ensure good governance and that sanctions need to be available to the League when rules are broken. We make no complaint in this letter that the League has seen fit to punish Leeds United at this time. The purpose of my letter is to ask you to consider whether the 15 points deduction is an appropriate punishment given its direct impact upon the fans, who it must be said are innocent victims of the situation at the club. Leeds supporters have had much to put up with in recent years and despite the trials and tribulations the supporters showed great faith this summer by paying in advance for their season tickets. This money was paid in the expectation that the club would take its place in an open and fair competition next season and that prospect has been largely removed by the decision to dock the club 15 points. This letter is being sent personally to the chairmen of every Football League club prior to the meeting and vote, and as supporters we respectfully implore the League clubs to determine an alternative punitive action which will not impact so directly upon the fans themselves who are, as we said, quite innocent in this matter. Thank you for reading this letter.
