ExiledAjax Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 3 minutes ago, phantom said: Approx 800 season card holders didn't buy a ticket for this game then 5.2%, or roughly one in 20. I'd say that's about what you'd expect isn't it? Especially given the time of year and the fact that it is a midweek evening game. Plenty will have holiday booked and paid for, or just not be able to get there. To have nigh on 95% of ST holders purchase a ticket is probably what the club expected.

Club and Country Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 i reckon people with memberships who have been to 1 game will defo be in with a good shout next Monday if they are on the ball, seems a few tickets left and dont even think two blocks in upper lansdown are even on sale yet?

You can only think that was mainly Juvenile tickets, who will not be going and the accompanying adults either don’t know or can’t be bothered with the hassle of buying, then upgrading them, for someone else to have.

Ash the Bash Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Priority 3 - what do we reckon? Picked the wrong year to buy my first bleeding house. Group of plastics in work are gonna cheer in the home end if Man U score because they're 'die hard' - even our Gas contingent found that hilariously cringe.

Could quite easily be covered by the fact people are just busy on week days, we rarely ever play Wednesday's so people may organise things. I'm praying I don't get called into placement as it is for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be some ST holders are gambling on other priority groups coming in to play do they can sit together rather than being dotted around the stadium.

Of course, there could be a number of reasons, but I can’t believe that anyone wouldn’t move heaven & earth to be at this game, if at all possible. It’s not like we’ve been blessed with glamorous cup ties over the last 3 decades. Add that it’s a quarter final to the mix and the first time we’ve played Man Utd in a competitive fixture in a generation. Only a pre booked holiday or serious illness would be keeping me away. Work can usually be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I forgot to get mine at 10 so just got mine, crunched the availability. 3138 seats available. Most empty blocks are in the Atyeo, Dolman closest to Atyeo, and Landsdown Upper closest to Atyeo. Are people scared of the Mancs?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to sit in the South Stand (Dolman side), but the availability was crap, so taking the opportunity to go in to the Lansdown for the first time. But we might as well talk about how tough they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1, W2 and W6 are showing as sold out but suspect they're being held back for whatever reason, so probably closer to 4,000 seats available?

ChippenhamRed Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 32 minutes ago, phantom said: But surely the tickets only "go live" at 10am - so there was no queue to join before that point? Yes and no. From about 9.20am, anyone entering the site was redirected to a holding page with a countdown. Anyone joining the "queue" at any point between 9.20 and 10am was then assigned a random queue position at 10am when the sale started. So being there from 9.20 was of no more benefit than being there at 9.59 - but anyone entering the site after 10am would have joined the back of the queue.

Lrrr Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Perhaps that many people have just gone for the top tier? I know I have on the basis of it not usually being open straight away and I'll normally have tickets booked by the time its open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's loads of tickets in the other blocks - it would be very strange if those two blocks were completely sold out but loads available in the others.

I can't speak for the other 798 but I bought mine and my mate's today as we have watched all the cup games from the Lansdown Stand so far and don't particularly like our ST location (having been moved 3 times in 3 years by the club ). There was no facility to do this last week but I was assured by the ticket office I would definitely still get a ticket if I waited until today.

I was 900th in the queue and it took me 20 minutes to get on the site, by that logic you could have had 2700 people in the queue for an hour who could have all bought multiple tickets. But yes I expect there will be some available for priority 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
