Home leg - Play off tickets

[Kelso]

Does anyone have any idea what date the home leg play off tickets go on sale.
To me they could do it now as the date is known, and tickets could show Opponents TBA. Then people who want to keep there normal seat can book them. Or are we going to have the stupid situation that we had against Forest, and tickets go on sale one morning and everyone rushes to get in and some regulars get beaten to there seats

 

[BladeByChoice]

There’s fare and there’s easy

Fare wold be:

If the club has to close areas of the ground (SAG/SYP) that contains season tickets holders.

• Allow ST holders in open areas to claim their seat
• Allow displaced ST holders to purchase empty seats
• General sale

Easy would be:

Tickets on sale 9am Monday first come first served

The club will pick easy .

 

[1993]

Should’ve been pre planned with ticket details out Tuesday and on sale Thursday/Friday at £20 a go. If they plan on releasing tickets after the Blackburn game once we know our opponents no chance we sell out.

Hopefully the new owners will upgrade the ticketing system in the near future as the current one isn’t up to scratch. I dread to think what they have planned if we get to Wembley again after the Man City debacle.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Apparently they won’t be selling tickets until they know who we are playing. This was the message when Mrs Jansky renewed our STs earlier this week.

 

[Davalon]

Been told today they will go on sale at 9am on Monday 5 May, one per person from ticket office, no online sales.

Go Outdoors offering special deals on tents until then and the Railway has been granted a late licence into the early hours after the Basham charity game. Only allowed to sell Carling after 10pm though.

Ticket allocation for the away leg will be limited to 500 after ALL ex-players have received theirs to distribute amongst people they barely know.

Loyalty points not valid on Wilder's request due to those obtaining Oxford tickets for a smallish allocation being Gene Hunts.

Confirmed by George McCabe.

I'd appreciate if if someone could post when they've sold out please.
Then I'll be able to shrug my shoulders and go 'oh well' while secretly smiling, and starting to think about next season's promotion campaign

Martyn Woolford says you can have his two for nowt.

I don’t really understand why. Just seems to be making life harder for ourselves.

 

[JJBlade]

60,000 loyalty points until about 7 minutes before kick off and then general sale

Think they have to agree the ticket prices with the opponents?

 

[Rusty view]

Away team will sell out which will mean 500 min points.

1 per St for 2 days to reserve seat.

We know it's coming.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Maybe the club needs to know who we are playing so that teams name can be printed on the tickets....what could they put instead of the away teams name...?

Suggestions..i would put (sixth placed)...with a little addendum.........shit on the bastards below.

Just put play-off semi final on it. Not that much of an issue. Besides, how many tickets are being printed now? It’s all (or nearly) electronic.

Can we offer discounted tickets before knowing the opponent? Is it like the FA Cup where lowered prices have to be agreed by both clubs?

You had me; totally frothing at the first line

If they make it £20 a ticket its a sell out and the away team will be more than happy.
It's makes so much sense to start selling them now and allow season ticket holders chance to claim their seats and avoid the scramble for tickets
Give the way team BL lower so no one has to move.
Why is it so difficult for the club to make sensible decisions

Exactly
The club could do this, but they won't because they're fucking retarded.

Let's have a look at a recent play off second leg at the Swill.
They lost the first leg 4-0 but because the tickets for the second leg had been sold nice and early they got a full house. People had already paid for the tickets and they thought "Oh well might as well go"

Our second leg tickets won't even go on sale until after the first leg has been played, and if we've bombed out in the first leg hardly anyone will turn up. The way our ticket office works makes me wonder what sort of sabotage is going on in that place.

Because they make an extra quarter of a million quid if they just charge normal cat B prices?

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

They will make £170m if we go up.

Fill the ground.

 

[jt64]

Fill the ground.

They will fill the ground at cat B prices.

 

[Selly]

They will fill the ground at cat B prices.

Not if they don`t start selling tickets until 3 days before the game

Hurrah for Wednesday

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I am sure there's boring technical reasons for how and when we can put tickets on sale.

It's not like the game or date is a surprise to anyone so if they don't get a ticket when they do go on sale they weren't going anyway

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Why would that be a thing??

 

[Bladeloyal]

When they do go on sale just buy one it takes all of 2 minutes.

I'm not buying mine unless someone from the club comes round to log me in.

Or are we going to have the stupid situation that we had against Forest, and tickets go on sale one morning and everyone rushes to get in and some regulars get beaten to there seats

There'll be slightly more time to the home leg this time, as we play the home leg second. Hopefully more time for season ticket holders to secure their seats

 

[Cappy]

Think they have to agree the ticket prices with the opponents?

This. Hence we can’t sell yet unless we agreed the same price with all potential 6th place teams. We’re very unlikely to try to have that conversation yet

Thats a real shame all the hysterical fannies will have to find something else to get their panties bunched up about

 

[Maidenhead]

I don't care what they charge.

I'm making a stand and refusing to go as they've completely fucked up the end of the season, and I've had to pay £13.50 to keep my plastic card for next season. (Bizarrely there's a £15.00 charge but no booking fee for a plastic card, but there is a £1.50 booking fee for phone access. How's that worked out )

If however we make it to Wembley I may have a change of heart as I will be back from my end of season holiday in Greece by then.
