wendyredredrobin Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think we may well see close to 25k for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Capacity for this game will be approx 25k, with 2k empty in the Atyeo. Plus other areas have restrictions (10% of S82 etc) i expect about 24.5 is nearer capacity for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillred Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I thought the capacity was 27.000, has there been any change to 27,699 if so where has the extra capacity come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the “actual” number of seats, I believe. Capacity for football is 27,000 max though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Simpson Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 There are 26500 seats in Ashton Gate. This has been on the os and repeated on here many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 This story from two days ago, just says that over 20,000 tickets have been sold. So that would suggest that less than 21,000 had been sold at that point otherwise surely they would have said so... https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/snap-up-your-swansea-tickets/ Don't see any reaosn why this shouldn't be a sell out personally. Both teams in great form, and sitting in the top four. Plus it's a local(ish) derby. No excuse not to be selling out really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Over 21k sold now according to the website, with 1476 left on the ticketing site. What a shame that the capacity for this game seems to be around 23k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a lot more than 1476 left, they tend to sell the back rows of the Lansdown last of all and usually a bunch come up in the South Stand towards the end of the week.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Less likely with an Anglo-Welsh derby than say Barnsley v Leeds, but how do they manage? They live in Bristol and have taken in some games as neutral- less likely than the above say. Friends loan them season ticket. They pay people for season tickets- I don't know can't make it, face value and a bit of extra for the privilege. They get mates with a Bristol City booking history to purchase it for them. They have mates who support City and turn up, but sit on their hands- but attending as mates jointly ie City v Swansea and are respectful, not displaying colours etc. Sure there are many more ways but if you're innovative, have self-restraint and a bit of know how you can find loopholes/workarounds in this- and actually dare say in quite a few areas. I do NOT endorse any of the above but certainly these are some of the methods I can think of. Hopefully the club will be on alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many Swansea fans are really going go to those lengths to get a ticket? If l’d hazard a guess at less than 100 if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If l’d hazard a guess at less than 100 if that. Yeah true, but I do believe that it can be pretty hard to police if people are sufficiently at it. Plus the usual pattern with this is they mouth off online and draw attention to themselves- large numbers of away fans in home ends undercover. Not just Swansea but away fans in home ends in general.

Sturman 1 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I don't think getting a ticket is that hard, the SA post code covers the whole of Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. I grew up in Pembrokeshire and before I had a season ticket or any booking history I had no issues getting a ticket for games against Cardiff/Swansea. I just thought with last season's antics, top end clash, local(ish) game and general sale tickets that the Jacks would come up with a big following!

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 The club can take precautions- booking history, membership, postcode etc, but if people want to find a way and are wholly determined to, then they more than likely will.
