MattWSM Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Will there be long queues tomorrow at AG for away tickets? What time do you think the queues will start..... Do I need to go now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ticket allocation for away play-off leg. Hull City - you have to have pre-paid or have been to at least 3 away games. Crystal Palace - you have to have been to at least Hull,Watford or Stoke away. Watford - 1st to those that have been to 10 away games then to those that have been to 5 etc. BRISTOL CITY - Open house to 10,000 season ticket holders. I like the Watford idea by rewarding regular away fans. Tomorrow is going to be chaos at the ground & on the phones,I only hope that the real fans get the tickets they deserve.

I don't disagree with you, BUT I remember going to Ashton Gate early morning with my season ticket book, to secure my ticket for the first leg playoff semi away to Hartlepool a couple of years back, only to be dismayed when we got up there to find that we only took less than 700. So why do we think this game is going to be so over-subscribed, when so few could be bothered last time we were in a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 To be fair I like the idea of having been to a certain amounts of away games to get a ticket. I've only managed QPR and Preston this season but could potentially pick up 2 tickets tomorrow (brothers' ST). Not too fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Because it takes 12 hours to get to Hartlepool Really? It took me 4 hours. Motorway all the way. Much easier, in fact, than a drive to Selhurst Park, which took me about 3 hours when we drove there earlier this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider army matt Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Is there no student ticket prices for this game? On the site it just says £30 for an adult ticket or how ever much it is for under 16's. £30 is a ridiculous price for a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too fair.Problem with systems like that is it rewards people who have money and then people who haven't got the money to go to every away game miss out. But then if you couldn't afford to go to every away game then you could purchase a away ticket for every away game and then sell the ticket so then when it comes around to say Man U away then you would still have priority for tickets.

Everyone has money problems (ie not enough)but it's where your priorities lie. For myself following City takes priority and is my biggest expenditure- more than mortgage,more than tax,more than car more than holidays,more than anything and although I do say that its a lot,it's worth it,especially this season !

Fair play mate. You are one of the lucky ones with a small mortgage and a very good accountant saves you lots of money on tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Says there is still 636 left and will go on general sale tommorow. I thought that 646 went on sale today. Surely more than ten tickets would have been snapped up in a day? Guess there will be an announcemet on the site this evening. Really surprised they haven't gone already.

bartolona Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Think it's very poor that they have made general sale. 10,000 season ticket holders and only 1,800 who plan on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price has probably put many people off, which is why I think we may struggle to sell them all. Hope I'm wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I am in the minority but I don't keep my ticket stubs for away games??? For that reason it would hardly be fair to say only those who have been to away games can buy tickets - unless they had some way of looking at your supporter information to see how many you've bought but even then some of mine have been through other mates picking up the tickets for me and me handing over the cash to them.

Cost has put me off personally. £30 ticket, £17 travel, pie and a pint £8.... and we (hopefully!!) have an expensive day at Wembley to come out of this months wages as well. Its not suprising the take-up has been low. As well as the home leg I've already shelled out £26 for. May not be an issue for Mr Lansdown but it's a lot of cash for Joe Public out of one months wages!!! I heard Watford are offering free coach travel to their fans - nice touch.

Yes - it's on their web site: Free coach travel to anybody wanting to go to Hull Obviously they HAVE considered the fans who would otherwise have had to fork out for travel on top of 2 or 3 extra games in the same month. I would have love to have gone to Palace - as I've been to about half of the aways this season - but I simply cannot find the extra travel/ticket cost out of this month's budget on top of the home ticket and possible Wembley ticket and have to consider other family costs as well - plus just shelled out for the S/T renewal. Same for many I guess and we will watch the first leg on Sky CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
