Boxing Day V Coventry Sold Out!

[Jon Bon II]

Or is it really, if there's still plenty of unsold seats still available on the kop?

 

[Balham Blade]

"All available tickets".

If only those bellends at the back of the Kop would stop being bellends.

 

[Davalon]

Assuming Cov have sold out, it will be interesting to see what the official attendance figure is.

Should at least confirm how many off capacity the Kop issue is costing us.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

1300 unavailable for the kop

30,700 as per Rotherham game I'd expect

 

[Westran]

The Rotherham game had been rearranged because of the queen, it was already a near sell out before we stopped selling tickets on the kop. Will be about 29k I reckon

You could buy tickets for the Rotherham game on the day, as the original game was pre the restrictions and then cancelled for the death of the Queen.

I know this as I bought tickets for the original game on the Kop, and enquired if they’d still be valid, which they were.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I thought they’d just stopped selling tickets on the day…Not restricted capacity?

 

[Westran]

They've stopped selling kop tickets to anyone who doesn't have a season ticket on there already

There was nearly 28k there at the weekend and Huddersfield brought 1,500 at most. If Coventry sell out that’s 29k before we include home areas. I think it’ll be just under 30k.

You couldn't buy any tickets for the Kop after the date the restrictions were brought in, Kop sales were locked on the ticket site for the Rotherham game.
However of course, any tickets that had already been purchased for the Kop were still valid.

As already stated the Rotherham game was already very close to being a complete sell out before it was postponed.
After the postponement there were several 100 mainly on the BLUT requesting refunds but the Kop was just about full that night.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

What is our full capacity? Around 31,500?

 

[Stand United]

What is our full capacity? Around 31,500?

Our current capacity, specified in the club’s safety certificate for this season, is 32,050. That includes every exec seat, press box & gantry, with each stand carrying a maximum number that can’t be exceeded.

The capacity of the standard seats (all stands including wheelchair places) is currently 30,688. The club has said around 1,300 seats on the Kop aren’t able to be sold under the current restrictions, so capacity is reduced to 29,388 standard seats, 30,750 overall.

When we entered the PL under Warnock we had a total sellout against Wigan and our highest attendance that season was 32,604.

When we entered the PL under Wilder the latest PL/ safety rules meant we had to lost a few 100 seats.
The Man Utd game that season was a total sellout and it was our highest of the season totalling 32,024.

So agree, that our current stadium capacity is now a touch over 32K.

Out of interest do we know where the c.600 seats went? I think there’s a couple of hundred we can never sell along the front rows of the BL stand, but where were the others that were taken out? The JSS corner? I seem to recall we lost a few for new press areas (are they included though?) and the dug outs, but that must only be a handful.

Some are around the myriad locations now needed for the UHD broadcast cameras aren't they?

We also increased the capacity of the SS as we added an extra row at the front

 

[Ned the Donkey]

Since when was selling out a good thing? Fight the Power and Fuck the System, man.

You carry on, I’ll catch up later…

 

[Pegster]

They also filled at least 1 gangway ( ours !! ) with 3 extra seats per row in the SS .

 

[breeny]

We also increased the capacity of the SS as we added an extra row at the front

And that never sells out near us

 

[JJBlade]

Proper fans would
But then again proper fans wouldn't have caused the problem in the first place with their constant moaning and complaining to the stewards and police that somebody stood up, or was trying to create an atmosphere, or was talking to somebody in the seat next to them when they didn't belong there

 

[Inter_blade83]

Is there any way to get into hospitality for this one? It's the only home game I'm back for.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Games on sky now aswell

 

[Blademan18891889]

Games on sky now aswell

Is it? Guessing red button job?

 

[Rusty view]

Was the extra seats added to SS not to compensate for losing some as we had to increase the size of the press boxes.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Is it? Guessing red button job?

Yep

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Is it? Guessing red button job?

Yes. Red button at 2.55pm
