semblar Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Not sure they will - it looks like large parts are already sold out (all of the south stand for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and especially given how many fans Sunderland might bring if they sell their ticket allocation, it would just be asking for trouble.

Just imagine the chaos if thousands turn up that then can't get tickets. I remember years ago when Cardiff was pay on the day and about 35,000 turned up, thousands ended up being locked out it was lucky nobody got injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd far prefer it was a capacity (whatever that is for this game) sell out & there weren't any tickets available for people who to buy on the day. If there are POTD tickets available, then surely it will be the usual case of queuing at the ticket office, hopefully needing to show ID. Either way - hope it's a big crowd & great atmosphere without the regular nonsense of having things thrown at players etc. Both clubs should be heading into the game/season with confidence & hopes of a decent season & hopefully it will be a great day (& the mackems graciously accept they've been beaten by the better team!)

You are only in there for about 2 hours. Just eat before the game and have a glass of water or buy a bottle of the water from a shop for £1.50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Why shouldn’t fans be able to buy a ticket on the day for home sections the away fans section is probably already sold out around 3000k I’d say ? so whether or not tickets are available on the day your saying there will be THOUSANDS of away fans outside , bollox , why don’t that happen at every other game in league then playoffs/ chance of promotion etc tickets from ticket offices should be made available at all games on match day if available all I’m saying is make it easier for the walk up fan to purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on said there will be thousands of away fans. However if you put tickets on sale, on the day then there will be a number of Sunderland fans that turn up and buy tickets in the home end. It was YOU that suggested putting 4000 tickets up for pay on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 27, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 The wording was interesting when mentioning the 21,000. It never states 21,000 home tickets sold. I wonder if that number also includes Sunderlands allocation, so we've only sold 18,000 home tickets (approx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
