holgateboro Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yes we have sold over 3000 tickets. I understand that we were originally given around about 4600 tickets, but 1500 of these were returned to yourselves almost immediately. Our tickets only went on General sale today so I think there are a few dissapointed Boro fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer seems to lie in some misinformation at our end.It appears that Boro's allocation was about 4,600 (not 3,100) and it'll be a packed EE on Saturday.

freezer Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Show me where it says they have sold 3,150 and I'll apologise.If you can't, then you apologise.CS has confirmed that Boro had returned tickets and then City negotiated the return of more in a Radio interview.So, if they had sold 3,150 how could they return any???I still think the EE could house 4,650 but there wouldn't be huge segregation.

Bristol Boy Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ahh right,so their site has it wrong thenSorry mate. Looks like the ACTUAL allocation was 4,600 not the 3,100 reported originlly on our website, hence the return of two lots adding up to 1,500 reduced it to 3,100. Now the good bit is that we'll have 4,600 in the EE on Saturday so, I guess the capacity will be about 19,000 although after the last week it could be 18,000 or 20,000, I'm not even going to predict it anymore.

freezer Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The answer is that Boro have sold closer to 2,000Case gently rested. Go on, say you got it wrong, it won't hurt.. Well done.

holgateboro Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I think there will be quite a few angry Boro fans as I know there were quite a few who were unable to get tickets yesterday. The fans don't have a very good relationship with the MFC ticket office as it is! This will probably wind a lot of fans up even more as they obviously sent back tickets before they even went on general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Boy Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Case gently rested.Are you sure, Fraser-I would pick it up again Go on, say you got it wrong, it won't hurt.. Looking at Boros website, it looks like I was surprsingly accurate in my estimation in this thread and during the week (1,800-2,000) and the information on their website was incorrect last night.They have corrected it this morning to read 1,750 soldWell done. No problemo BB, you the man.Thank you and I'l await a further apology I still love your match reports.Glad someone does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holgateboro Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 from YOUR website:"THE GAME IS A COMPLETE SELL-OUT FOR HOME AND AWAY FANS. BORO SOLD 1,750 TICKETS"Portishead Red - our very same website yesterday stated that we had sold 3150 tickets! It sounds like we are not the only ones with a clueless ticketing system judging by some of the other posts on here about your own ticketing.
