You can exit from 3 sides post match,. There were 2 days in for Sweden, Winterstoke Road and the Ashton Road thought. Expected the same Wed? May be wrong re WR.

Guest Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Busy down there already. Lots of cars jamming up the road! Staff giving 4 tickets to everyone again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Currently stressed on route back from Cardiff to Bristol - don't blame me I have family living there and I can't disown them - and will be heading to the Gate to pick up my tickets for Wednesday. While I know I should be able to get them today I'm worried they will sell out. The Gate has become the ONLY place to see England bring it home. Don't think I could go to the home of the fewers even if it was the only fan village in Bristol. Unless it was approached in a manner akin to a charity event....throw a few coppers in the buckets to allow them to build another 223 seats in a new tent. Edit: in an absolute horror show I've got on the wrong train at Cardiff and rather than Temple Meads I've found myself in Swindon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Really busy, these tickets will be gone by today. Everyone getting 4 tickets on the off chance their mates want to come. Saw someone get 4 and then go back and get another 4. Should be strictly limited to 2 imo. If someone really wanted to attend they would make the effort to come and get a ticket.

Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'm now super stressed. Should have been back into Bristol now having been away all weekend but got the wrong train and now travelling back from Swindle!! Fingers crossed there are some left at 3.30. If not any spares would be HUGELY appreciated. Free drink guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an FYI, I will get 4 even though I need 3...i'd rather the 4th goes to a City fan. If anyone can't get one I'll be offering it up here for free naturally....

cidercity1987 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Lots of totally selfish Bristolians then grabbing tickets without assurances that they'll be used.

I think 2 pp would have been fine Start charging and you’d kill the thing off - given there are 1000 other places to watch it for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff giving 4 tickets to everyone again ! Went down to grab 4 on my lunch break. Absolutely heaving. Must have been 200/300 in the queue when I got there and more people turning up on foot/cars from every angle. Over-heard someone say 2000 already gone (this was at 1.15PM). They had 4 employees stood outside the shop just handing them out. I estimate all 5.5k to be gone by 7PM today based on what I saw earlier. If you need tickets, get down there ASAP!

I agree they need to resolve the issue of people re-queuing to get more than 4 tickets, but don't you think your other comment is a bit unfair? Some people do have work commitments that they simply can't get out of and rely on friends to pick up tickets on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Got there about 12.45 Biggish queue of about 100 but moved quickly without really getting any smaller as plenty of people joining all the time At least the tickets were already printed this time unlike for Saturdays game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Pretty cool 'tickets' for the England v Croatia semi. Actually prinited on thick card. Unlike the Quarters I'm going to insist on keeping this upon entry. Worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Any news on how many tickets are left? Cannot make it down until 5pm so don't want to waste my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'm at Ashton Gate now and just heard the Shop confirm they are all gone just now. Asked if it was just today's batch or the whole lot and it was confirmed it was the whole lot. Strangely, after I saw one guy get what was described as the last 2 someone entered saying he'd come 10 mins before to be told they were all gone then. He was then given one of the 'staff supply.' Bit fishy but they are now confirming to multiple people they've sold all 5550. I'm stood here finishing my coffee and one of the Shop staff has at least a handful in his hand/pocket so i suspect they have a few in reserve. If you are on your way here worth pressing in case.... good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, what's most annoying is people grabbing 4 or 8 tickets and not all of them get used. If the 30% (ish) non-attendance figure is correct, that's a lot of lost revenue.

pride of the west Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Was there a limit to how many people could get? A bit annoying if multiple people turned up asking for 25 each for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Supposed to be 4. I heard of people re-joining the back of the queue to get 4 more but can't verify. Pretty sure that would have been rare. Felt for those turning up earlier clearly expecting tickets to still be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombie Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I missed out today, got there around 6. Couldn’t get there any earlier. It’s disappointing, but I’m sure I’ll find another screen. At the risk of sounding entitled it is a bit irritating that non football fans, occasional (every 2 years if we’re doing well and it’s sunny) fans are given the same opportunity to watch football at the stadium I have had a season ticket at for years, a place where I have literally spent thousands and thousands. Looking at how popular it’s been so far, could they not have had a half or full day in which season ticket holders and members had first dibs? Hell, I’d even go as far as including Rovers season ticket holders in that priority group, at least they are football fans, not just part timers who want a nice day out and are unlikely to return to our club and use the facilities. I’m all for football being inclusive and everyone getting in to the spirit, but some of these folk just want a drink or are just going because their friends are. Anyway, hope all of you going have a great time, I hope we all do wherever we all watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
