ChippenhamRed Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Jeez, not looking too great for general sale... I'd say it's looking absolutely brilliant for general sale, although personally I am a member. With members only able to buy 2 per, I would imagine this next stage of sales will only account for 5-6k tickets maximum. The fact that 1,900 tickets made it to general sale for the West Ham game, after nearly every STH bought a ticket, tells you a lot about the size of our membership. In other words, there will be loads on general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 i understand red sold out etc, but of the seats available can you actually see what seats are free , a bit like on citys ticket website ? No. It is a bit hit & miss picking seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 For the benefit of members like myself currently trying to weigh up their options, could someone please post the very latest red/amber/green availability map? Hi mate when I went on the website and looked at the red/amber/green it isnt that clear. It certainly isnt as clear as our own AG ticket purchase system. I got so p*****d off I rang Ticketmaster in the end and booked over the phone.I asked if I could have 4 together in the lower or middle tier and he said there werent 4 together anywhere, I plumped for 502 Row 15. Amazing, depending on how many you need I would try ringing at 8AM instead of the website. Best of Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone ticketmaster, give them everyone's full details, they will check this with the club and call you back to sell you the tickets. They were certainly doing this last week when season ticket holders had problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good luck with phoning Ticketmaster. I was talking to two people who's English wasn't the best and they both managed to cut me off after putting me on hold. Booked online in the end, far less hassle.

So with approaching nine thousand ST holders, it's possible (but not likely) that 36k could be sold out by the time general sale comes into effect.I personally think there'll be about 27/8k city fans, it's not such a big day out to many people now, though it would be nice to sell out.

Of course I realise it was only one per STH for the West Ham game. The point is, after 90% of STH bought their West Ham ticket, members had second priority, but 1,900 tickets made it to general sale. This suggests that only around 2,000 members bought for that game - and that the total number of members is not that big. If we've sold around 21k so far, I would only expect members to add another 5-6k to that total - so there will be loads available for general sale. Also the vast majority of STH will have already bought and I'm not sure if they are still able to buy during the members sale period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure why you got that impression, as a member I always knew I was virtually guaranteed a ticket and I'm not that bothered about being on the top tier. I've also been very positive about bringing non-regulars to this game with a view to increasing our fan base. So not remotely panicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That demand was such that we only managed to shift another six hundred more than our usual recent turn out. So it might be expected that ST holders will purchase most of any tickets sold any way. As you rightly say, there will be loads available for general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 How embarrassing would it be if Walsall outsold us? Not going to happen. Bristol city have now sold just over 21k to ST holders. Walsall have sold 21.5k, but allowed each ST holder to get 6 tickets. That 21.5k also includes the priority period for anyone who has a booking history with Walsall. Edit: The way it is structured, the only tickets Walsall will sell during general sale will be to people who haven't been to Walsall matches before and don't know anyone who has. I may be proved wrong, but I would guess that number isn't going to be very high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they've sold out their early allocation, we're about the same at the moment. I'm sure they had about 4 or 5 thousand when we played them this year and last, where the hell have 21,000 come from?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Considering we've already sold more than their entire allocation.. I'd say it's unlikely. They were initially given an allocation of approx 20k corresponding to the lower and middle tier, however, as this sold out they have been given additional tickets in the upper tier. At present they have sold over 21,500 tickets, which is more than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
