Was going to add LJ said in today's interview over 18k sold, he was expecting 12-13k

Just shows if games are priced right people will support the team

saying top bit near enough sold out on the ticket thingy

Just had a look at this.  I suspect that only certain blocks have been released for sale.  Although I don't think it's helpful when it says "sold out" when they actually mean "not yet available", as some might give up thinking the game has actually sold out.

Except that the Leeds game was at full price and the game was close to a sell-out.  That suggests to me that for the most attractive fixtures, people will support the team anyway - and from a revenue-generation point of view, the club has probably got the pricing structure about right overall.  Certainly agree it helps to reduce prices for the less attractive fixtures though - I can't imagine we'd have got anywhere near 20k at full price tomorrow.  And I certainly wouldn't have paid £36 (members price) to sit in the middle of the Lansdown, where I am tomorrow!

Ahhh I thought it was nearly sold out when trying to buy tickets for my sister and nephew. Did not realise it included sections that were not made available for sale. I told them it would be a full house, hopefully they will still enjoy themselves.

They have just released over 200 tickets in block W4 of the Upper Tier Lansdown, got 2 tickets in row 6, looking forward to this:chant6ez: as my season ticket is in the Dolman.  They were £15 each for print at home.  Before they released these there were only single tickets in the Lansdown, and a few at the very back of the Dolman that were not just singles.

Maybe 2000 only available pay on day in currently unopened L top tiers.

You might be right actually. If half the West Stand upper is sold out already then about 2k tickets left in all home ends.

Could sell-out.

Just to put that in context...in the last round Palace got 6,607 versus Huddersfield Town.

Must be close to 20k sold now as the entire lower bowl which holds 22k is pretty much sold out bar singles and 2k in the Atyeo. Plus hundreds sold in the West Stand upper....

Half-term effect?

Good point Kid, I  know a few that won't bring the kids on a school night, especially if there is a likelihood of et and pens. Expect a lot of younger fans tonight maybe?

Think it is probably and overestimate to say half top tier sold already. From looking at the online ticket thingy it appears tickets have been sold in  4 of the 9 blocks (W4, W5, W6 and W7), however in each of those blocks tickets are only sold in the first few rows. I think it is more like 1/4 of upper tier tickets sold. Still an amazing effort but likely leaving about 3000 left.

Pretty sure there was rugby at the Gate on Sunday, so with our game on Saturday and this evening there is every chance that 50,000 will have been through the turnstiles in 4 days.

Which is significant.

It's an amazing effort but worth pointing out that the threshold for opening the top tier is a little lower this year with the whole Atyeo given to away support.

Still surprised though - 16k for the Hull game last year, which was also half term.

It seems to me that there is a snowball effect once it becomes clear a decent crowd is expected, with more and more people wanting to be a part of it.

Let's just hope we get a proper cup tie worthy of the attendance!

Here's a question for someone: when was the last time we had a cup game at Ashton Gate with an attendance of more than 20k?

Gas in the LDV? 

Think that was pre development when JET and Bryan scored.

I think it was Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup 5th round in 1994.

There were 7000 at the rugby on Sunday, plus 24500 against Leeds and 20000 tonight, that's 51500 people through the gates in 4 days, surely a club record

A cheap ticket knockout cup tie in half-term v a PL team is a night when many in attendance are now-and-again pick n choose their games supporters, and even some very probably who have tried a bit of lower league tinpot stuff (and not been "hooked") north of the river but might be undecided as to allegiance and up for going one way - south of the river - or the other, once and for all.

Tonight is an opportunity to reel a few more in, to grab some occasional, undecided types by the whatsits with a full blooded evening of end to end cup tie football exhiliration. We failed to do this a year ago v Hull, we botched our big day v Brum, we flunked in front of a big crowd Saturday (and the West Brom at home cup tie was poor, too), it is time we took the long view - as the club have done in other areas - and seize this opportunity.

Even if we lose, we can win over some folks with the manner of the performance and the size and support of the crowd. Let's not go out with a limp and the proverbial damp squid....

The amount of money being spent on tickets, food and drink must be adding up as well.

Pre development it would have probably taken 6 weeks to get close to the numbers I imagine they are turning.

Ref the last 20,000 plus crowd for a cup tie.

My guess is Chelsea or Cambridge in 1990 or 91.

Gas to be before we went all seated.

We definitely had 20k+ gates against Liverpool and Charlton Athletic in 1994. I'm pretty sure these were the last ones.

£5 for u-19s. Half Term. Bring the kids . Then they'll be supporting us vs. Man. Utd or Chelsea in the Quarter Finals :clapping:

Some great replies to my 20k question, good research all!

One of my oldest memories of watching City is a vague recollection of a Tinnion free kick against Charlton at the old open end. Can't remember anything more than that. Would that be the Charlton match in question?

Despite the poor performance/result on saturday there is a real feel good factor around the place at the minute. 

20,000 for a midweek cup game against an average premier league team is nothing short of superb. 

It helps that LJ seems to take cup competitions seriously, also the fact we are 90 mins away from a Quarter final,

which we will very likely get a massive team, or who knows a winnable game with a huge chance to get into the Semi final. 

If we were to win tonight and draw the winner of say B'Mouth Vs Boro at the gate.. then we have a very big chance of getting into the Semi final .

Remember it well FA Cup 93-94 after we had won at Anfield at beaten Stockport 4-0 .

Drew 1-1 against Charlton and lost the replay 2-0

Wow!  Genuinely @Hillzider, thanks so much for that - for whatever reason that Tinnion free kick has stuck in my mind as one of my earliest football memories, and that's the first time I've ever seen it since!  My 10 year old self was in Dolman block A (or maybe B) that day.  Turns out how I remembered it in my mind's eye was pretty much exactly how it was.

Small world! I was in Dolman Block B that day and its a goal that I always remember.

Classic Tinman.

Thanks for that. I’d forgotten how dominant we were in the home match v Liverpool, probably because the focus is always on the replay win at Anfield. The replay shouldn’t have been needed given the amount of chances we had! Dave Martin’s performance that day really stands out.

There have been bigger cup gates in the last 30 years, but any bigger home only turn outs than what could well be 19/20k..? Baring in mind that Liverpool, Charlton & Everton probably bought 4K ish each..?

Wouldnt be at all suprised if another 1000 is added o that by kick up by turn up on the night fans

I can envisage a queuing-outside-the-ground-at-8pm-with-club-failing-to-anticipate-demand scenario. Big crowds seem to draw in more people.
