Tinmans Love Child Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 5 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: With the number of season ticket holders and members we now have no big game will ever make it to general sale unless the capacity is significantly increased. It did make it to general sale today, I got my tickets at 2:25 after refreshing for 25 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had issues with this before, and was told by the ticket department they do have problems with Hotmail accounts. I've been downloading them to the wallet recently, but no can do on this occasion I got my tickets to my Hotmail within 10 mins so worked for me, I've had the same Hotmail for 20 odd years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on the way to West Ham on Sunday was saying we have 7000 members but this seems a little high. Why would 7,000 members be high? We have roughly 5,000 pay on the day average per game, they only need to go to 4 games a season to make a membership more than worthwhile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWANG50 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 1 minute ago, Numero Uno said: My mistake then. I thought it was season ticket holders and members only today. Think I may have got the last one, a few were popping up on general sale from 2pm today but real hit and miss. Let me keep it in the basket for 20 mins while I tried to get a better seat. They've taken all the links down now though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like yourself and @TMWANG50were very fortunate to get hold of a very limited number of tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 12 minutes ago, Street red said: I'm surprised it's sold out already do we honestly have that many members? And how many half season tickets have we sold! After yesterday that should of left around 9k of tickets and probs 1k segregation or am I being completely stupid. 15k season card holders. Not sure about the numbers for half season ticket holders or members, but I would guesstimate at 4k or 5k for the two or maybe more ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 If you aren't getting a ST make sure you get a membership, Not just for games like this but you get cheaper tickets as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive really just wondering if they where snapped up at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I also got mine on general sale. There were a fair few together up in the Gods of the Lansdown if you were sharp at 2pm. Loads of random singles dotted about as well which I imagine will stay empty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10k in mind , but that could be way off. Then some would have been sold just to get tickets for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club and Country Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Think season ticket holders maybe aren't aware how extortionate pay on the day prices are it wouldn't surprise me the numbers mentioned on how many members we have, as mentioned you only need to go 3/4 times per season to get money back plus other perks of membership 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Bristol Bear season ticket holders count as members? If so that’s around 9k already, plus presumably 4/5k more.

What is the thinking behind that? A rugby or basketball fan that normally has no interest in football could get priority over a football fan? Perhaps I'm being miserable but I'm not understanding that. Put it this way, if there was a massive rugby game in Bristol there is no way I would deny the chance of a genuine rugby fan to attend. Same with basketball. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did appear sold out, but then presumably some transactions will have failed, or tickets dropped out of baskets, etc. For any event it's always worth trying for 20 - 25 mins after it appears sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least separated from City Memberships but above GA sale. Do 4 priority windows, ST, City Members, BS Members, GA.

I must admit, the longer we have this association and ground share with the rugby team the more I don’t like it. I realise I may be in a minority in feeling this way but I’d rather have 100% focus on football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
