Was thinking surely it must be a sell out 32k but we only got just over 30k! Palace brought more than i thought so was it just empty seats or dosent the segregation allow us the full capacity anymore?

When a certain amount of people, (ie the additional 2500) have to have 500 loyalty points or they can't buy a ticket what do you expect.
When our attendances have been anywhere between 19,000 and 26,000 since leaving the Premier League last time, where are the extra fans going to get the loyalty points from ? I had two friends that wanted to go, they are casual fans yes, maybe not even strong casual fans, but they wanted to go and couldn't buy a ticket.
It went to general sale.
Anyone who wanted to go could have.
Can't blame anyone for not doing though, £35 is a lot of money when you can watch it in the pub for free.
Over 30,000 when it's on TV is a good effort.

agreed. club could have been a bit clearer to avoid misinformation etc. Work in progress though.

yeah the first few games will be a learning curve with regards to how many tickets we sell. Be interesting to see if the attendance is higher next week. Not on Sky & Leicester apparently sold out, so it should be. Just wonder if the novelty of 1st game back in the Prem drew a lot of the day trippers in...
My dad couldn't get a ticket for the Kop to stand with us so he sat in the Streetwise corner. Showed me his ticket and saw that he'd paid £41 for it. My eyes watered.

Makes me even more glad to have a season ticket from a purely selfish point of view. However, £41 for Palace at home in a pretty crap stand is highly questionable.
i expect a higher gate next week. as well as far tougher match
They could. 0 points needed since last Thursday!

watched MOT2 this morn - 2nd half leic created a lot! Chelsea couldn't cope at times.Yeah Leicester should have beat Chelsea on Sunday by all accounts. Got a seriously good team, should cause us a hell of a lot more problems than Palace did...
You answered your own question.
The casual fan cannot get a ticket
Even general sale is for 500 loyalty point holders
The answer was in your original post. You said we had anything between 19,000 to 26,000 attendances since we got relegated in 2007.
Let's over egg it and take the top end, 26,000. Lets say 5000 tickets available due to segregation etc.
23 home games a season, for 12 seasons with 5000 tickets available.
The casual fan has had 1,380,000 chances to obtain a ticket (more if we used actual attendances). If they took two or three of those chances they'd be able to get a ticket. And that's not accounting for away games, cup ties etc.
It doesn't work that way
The maximum number of people with loyalty points will still be 26000
If people only want to watch Premier League football that's their right and their business
We're not the only club on the planet with casual fans
They shouldn't have obstacles put in their way if they want a ticket, especially spare tickets that are not sold anyway.
