Silvio Dante Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 On sale tomorrow - good pricing as well by the club. ST holders have no seats reserved and Members/ST on sale concurrently. This could be a) Due to our ticketing system failing or not being great for cup games b) The club seeing if E34 can “put their money where mouth is” and buy tickets en masse for that block.

Given we are led to believe that most of the "E34 movers" are Under-22, I should think that a lot of them will be able to scrape £8 together for a ticket in E34.

I think I heard before, the reason for non reserved seats for season ticket holders is due to the fact that the upper Lansdown is closed. It would be deemed unfair that some season ticket holders would have their seats reserved whilst some weren’t, ie, their seats aren’t available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders seats are available for priority purchase tomorrow for the season ticket holders to purchase They're not reserved past that as would be for a league fixture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'm surprised at the scheduling of this game. It's the Bedminster winter lantern parade at 4pm that day when large parts of North St and the surrounding roads will be cordoned off. I'm sure this will have been arranged on a non football / rugby day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the route it takes, but would expect the 75/76 bus routes to be disrupted and traffic a lot more congested than usual after the game.

An annual parade that attracts some 5,000 visitors, i.e. not far off half City's attendance in the previous round, and no doubt gives a lot of joy to both participants and spectators alike. My personal view is that it is not necessarily a 'tinpot' idea, but certainly insulting to describe the parade as being 'some poxy lanterns'.

pongo88 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 There are problems with season ticket holders not having their seat reserved when a group of people sit together. Unless their tickets are linked, and not everyone does this, there is no guarantee that they will be able to all book the same seats. The last time City did this some season ticket holders found that their seat had gone when they tried to book. Even when they went online early 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so but it would definitely come across as being tinpot. Imagine telling West Brom fans that they wouldn’t be able to travel down to Bristol on that weekend (rail works on the Sunday so no trains) because of some lanterns.

So a long standing community festival attracting 5,000 in close proximity to the stadium is 'tinpot'.... More people are expected to go (based on the numbers quoted in previous posts) than would fit in Block A! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but I still think it is unneccessary to describe the parade as being 'some poxy lanterns'. In so far as it concerns postponing the match, I daresay it will go ahead, although the parade organisers will no doubt be disappointed as I should imagine they took in to account the fact that City should have been playing away that Saturday.

IAmNick Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Well this is annoying: Someone I go with has booked his usual seat, and now I'm booking mine next to it. Because it leaves a gap of 1 seat to the end of the row it's not letting me... even though it's my season ticket seat. Ridiculous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
