DavidNoble Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is there any chance of a second allocation of tickets being released after we've sold out the initial allocation of 2,100. I reckon we could sell 4,000+ here and as it's such a big ground I'm surprised they haven't yet given us anymore tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman85 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Don't understand why either QPR or Villa is final allocation. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had 10% of their capacity, so no issue there. How can Villa justify giving such a small percentage of their capacity..?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power to them if they can, but its just depriving a revenue stream if they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 The Villa allocation is reduced on the advice of West Midlands Police. Theyve still got a bee in their bonnet from 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Just now, harrys said: Sorry, 3700 It’s a minimum allocation rule. We generally give away fans the whole Atyeo, so that’s fine. Giving us 2,100 in a 40k+ capacity is a complete joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For QPR it was because they sold their adult tickets as a two for one Black Friday deal. They wanted to give their fans the most opportunity to fill the ground and take up this offer so they gave them the lower tier and us the upper, usually away fans can have both tiers and there are no home fans in this end( I think that’s the right way round).

Bollocks. They only allocated us 1.7k in 2016 as well and we sold out in days. Next season (if we play them) will be the same again, only us and Millwall get the lower allocation.
