Oldies' trivia question

If you were going to phone the Lane for your tickets to listen to Betty in the ticket office in the 70-71 season, what telephone number would you have phoned (including out of town number)?

 

[Caveblade]

The out of town bit would have been 0742? haven't got a clue about the rest

im presuming the numbers the same, but i was looking thru an old programme Blades Vs Fulham 6th feb '79 and the Blades Office Number was 0742-738955/6/7.
i dont think this number changed until late 80's.
hope this helps

It was the time of 5 digits:

(0742) 25585

at least if the following is correct. Check out the capacity as well.

In 1970 you didn't need to phone up to get tickets you just turned up and paid on the gate.
Very few people had credit cards in those days so it would have been very difficult anyway to pay over the phone.
