If you work out how many you have.. I can see if I can get hold of a ST holder's card who might have more

Lemme know.

 

[derrywan]

[Linz]

Aye... no worries about the paypal though, just pop us the money on the day love

We may end up with even more tickets though... they've turfed some of the season ticket holders out of the Arthur Wait stand. The rumours are, we want it all. This is from their forum:

As you know, the last game of the season this year is on Sunday May 3rd, kick off 1.15pm against Sheffield United, who still have an opportunity to gain an automatic promotion place to the Premier League. With this in mind, we want to take full advantage of Sheffield United's position and maximise the opportunity to take some additional gate revenue from the fixture at such a critical time of the year financially.

It is for this reason that I am writing to ask for your support and understanding as I need to notify you that your season ticket for this game has been relocated, this is to accommodate the potential additional demand from away supporters in the Arthur Wait stand. As a gesture of appreciation for your support we will also be happy to offer you a guest ticket for the match so you can bring a friend along for the experience at no additional cost.

Furthermore, we will be happy to accommodate you in any part of the stadium, subject to availability and excluding the Directors Box, giving you an opportunity to experience the match from a different perspective. Why not try the Players Lounge in the Main Stand, a Gallery seat in the Upper Holmesdale, or a Stanley Stephenson Lounge seat adjacent to the Directors Box?

Your ticket for the Arthur Wait has been suspended for the Sheffield United match. Please contact the box office as soon as possible to confirm your alternative seat choice. Please ensure you specify which stand and area you and your guest would like to relocate to and have your client reference number to hand (your client reference is on your Teamcard).

You can telephone the box office on 0871 200 0071, contact us by email [email protected] or you can call into the office personally. Our opening times are, 9.00 – 6.00pm, Monday to Friday and 9.30 – 12.30, on Good Friday 9th April and Saturday 25th April, after Easter we re-open on Tuesday 14th April from 9.00am. We will be open as usual for the Cardiff and Derby home fixtures until kick off and one hour after the game. To avoid any unnecessary queuing and confusion on Sunday May 3rd, we strongly advise that you contact the box office as early as possible.

Thank you for your understanding on this sensitive issue and for your continued support of Crystal Palace Football Club.

Yours sincerely;

Kevin Watts
Commercial Director
Crystal Palace Football Club

Rumour going round at the moment that Palace will give us 10,000 tickets - There entire stand. Be great if it was true!

See my edited post above

Some of their ST holders haven't got a letter yet, but they're saying today that we've asked for the whole end.

 

[The One]

It'll be awesome wooooooooooo!

 

[Robbie]

How strong are these rumours that we have now been allocated 6,500 tickets with a view to increasing to 10,000?

Someone from BU has apparently phoned the ticket office and was told we've got 7000 tickets.

Dependant on results of next game I think we will sell out.

Cheers for that What's your thoughts on the game?

You could be the ones to scupper our chances of going up automatically (although knowing us, we'll have blown it ourselves before then!)

It depends on the team that we have out if Derry and Hill are missing there will be no passion out youngsters have some pace and skill but are not so hot when it gets physical. Neil must have his own view on this game and I guess a lot of us feel the same rather Blades than Bluenoses as you can see by my other post I have a soft spot for the Blades and I hope that we do not stop you going up automaticly. Seems odd not really wanting Palace to win :thumbup:

OH one piece of very good advice do not eat in the ground the food is dire and last game of the season and the caterers not having their contract renewed for next season does not make me think that things will be any different. There is a good chippy and chinese at the bottom of Park Road (the road that your stand will be in)

Urrgh... thanks for the warning on that one!

I do have a feeling that the majority of Blades will be rather erm... lubricated... for this fixture though, so I don't think the quality of the cuisine will be high on the list of the priorities.

Pissed or sober though... I don't want a bogey sandwich :nono:

 

[Robbie]

As long as they have chicken balti

As long as they have chicken balti

your hoping you will be lucky to get a burger that is frozen in the middle or a lukewarm hotdog in a piece of rock designed to look like a roll

A ticket each for me and the big rascal please.

who's this " the big rascal" cheeky git

 

[Deleted member 1486]

£14.50 for a child ticket! are they having a giraffe? If they charge home fans that much I'd imagine they aren't going to have any fans when the current lot die off! Shows how lucky we are with free child season tickets or £5 entry to any game for kids.

Anyone know if it's possible to go halves with someone else on a family ticket (it just says 2 x adults and 2 x children on the OS)? Quite a saving at £51 rather than £78 separately. Do they just give you 4 separate tickets? Do you need to name the 4 people (and if so do they need to be same at the same address?).

I'm thinking I might make the trip if we're still thereabouts but I'm not paying £39 for 1 child and 1 adult ticket. That's scandalous (especially for Palace, which is probably one of the most dull away trips in the country - no offence to our Palace visitors).

They have just started to get it into their thick skulls that £29.50 and no concessions (for most stands) is not filling the ground out they have only for the last few games started having reduced prices for kids and students i think its £9.50 but dont know if they are offering this for the Blades game, I would not be going to Palace at £30 a game its only because of my ST that I am still going its way too expensive.

Block V is probably the best block in that stand you need to be as far backa s you can get although there are pillars about half way up near the front you get dazzeled by the sun and also this used to be terracing so the stand is not as steep as it may be so the view is not as good as if it is designed seating.

Oh I for one will not get upset by anyone desribing the away end as a hole

 

[BexleyBlade]

The away end's a hole.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Now I have to decide whether to go to Leeds on sunday as planned and take a trip to Sheffield and find a pub in Sheffield for during the match OR try and get tickets for the match and go to Leeds the following weekend.
