Bristol Rob Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Just for the stattos... Fewers - average home attendance this season. 7,756 We've managed to sell 8.294 for an away game in under a week. Also, a reminder that the Vixens have also had a higher home gate than the fewers. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I can't see us getting anymore tbh, people who haven't been able to get one, their best hope will be people unable to make it and selling their tickets. If they have a West Ham booking history for whatever reason that may also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Well I wonder if the club will be looking at this and wondering if making tickets cheaper will fill the stadium and I mean actual people in the stadium not just sold seats. Ideally they would get bums on the seats that belong to season card holders that rarely go, which in the South stand seems to be real problem in recent times. Difficult to do while still being fair to season card holders, I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 The rule From the Athletic pages. The calculation is quite simple in the FA Cup. Prior to the semi-final and final, which are played at Wembley, visiting clubs are allowed up to 15 per cent of all tickets for the stadium they are playing at. That is unless 15 per cent of the stadium exceeds 9,000 To add to that, looks like Leeds got 8,900 same stage 2022. Maybe , just maybe ?

My solution to this is that if a STH fails to attend X amount of home games (without a good reason) then they forfeit their seat. I simply refuse to believe that we have 1000s buying adult season tickets and then not attending. These empty seats are kid STs.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is incredibly simple, make the free shirt offer that goes with U12 tickets apply to the family area in the Upper Lansdown only. Still sell kids tickets elsewhere, just no free shirt unless it's in the family area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the likes of Man Utd do now but minus the (without good reason) The odd thing is it’s not just the odd couple of seats, there’ll be 15 /20 seats in a row without anyone in, all supposedly sold and that’s in every section of the SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most games it is virtually impossible to buy more than single seats in the SS 2 or 3 days before the match - Take a look, there is one ticket available in one of the corners for tomorrow, that is it. There is a good 10-20% of the seats empty virtually every match, not a good look and doesn't help the atmosphere I should also add that I think a lot of people buy SS tickets because they are the cheapest, then go and find empty seats in the Lansdown or Dolman. That is an altogether trickier problem to fix. Edited December 15, 2023 by richwwtk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of a club Forums have similar so I can’t see why not As long as no one is touting tickets for profit seems oerfectly legal , and a good shout Just noticed on West Ham’s they have a whole subsection for match day ticket requests , spares etc etc Edited December 15, 2023 by Sheltons Army 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to sit in the dolman, not with the prawn sandwich brigade. They love hearing a good swear. They laugh at the guy who shouts "defend it" at every corner, for every game, every year. "What else are they going to do, Dad?" they say. Why can't they have a free shirt? Just get rid of the free shirt offer. £99 still very cheap. Be nice if we could actually buy a shirt though, stock levels are abysmal. Edited December 15, 2023 by pj76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times I’ve been asked about tickets for matches where a group of lads, often who usually play but for whatever reason aren’t, want to go to a game but all that’s available are 2 seats here and there in the Dolman for £35. In the South stand they could comfortably seat the whole team together on most match days in any section but there are none or few available . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my son will like to sit in the Dolman with me, listening to the pr1ck behind me still not understanding the offside rule. . Its good education for my 7 year old to understand how stupid a single adult can actually be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Someone raised the point of can City fans sit anywhere in the London Stadium? The club have told me that "seating in the London Stadium is allocated and not unreserved". In other words sit where it says on your tickets. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
