Will we sell out?

[harrry1990s]

We’ve sold more tickets for this game than Real Madrid, and they’re the biggest club in the world. After Wendy.

 

[S64 Blade]

Where do you get this from?
We have probably a thousand tickets available, every single section which we have been allocated has empty seats in it. that actually takes some doing.

And considering the only people left who have not bought tickets yet are the most casual fans of all they are likely to remain unsold because most of them are single seats.

A loyal committed fan will buy a single seat and meet his mates before and after, but the most casual of "fans" won't

Maybe Sunderland have 1,001 tickets available?

Perhaps next time we should prevent season ticket holders and loyalty points holders from buying first, let the miniscule amount of floating fans we have get theirs, there obviously isn't enough of them to prevent our loyal fans from getting a ticket, but at least these people would be able to sit together. Then our more loyal and committed fans would buy the rest and not be too worried about sitting on their own for an hour and a half

It's humour mate. Have a breather.

 

[JJBlade]

Yes they have, the 1001 that we didn't sell. Plus half the posh seats in our end that have never been made available to us

 

[jt64]

That’s what the official numbers will be

but I suspect there’ll be loads of Sunderland fans buying from touts and paying for corporate in the neutral areas.

If anyone is buying from a tout at a game where all tickets are print at home and you can photocopy as many of the same ticket as you want, they're an idiot

Maybe that was one of the reasons for print at home?

 

[bladesmanluke]

Just out of interest what was the figure we took to wembley for man city?

Dunno but we were allocated 33k and failed to fill two of the top tier blocks so about 31 at a guess

 

[jt64]

Maybe that was one of the reasons for print at home?

I would guess the only reason is cash money

 

[Bell4]

Pork Talk fame awaits you…..

Think i`ve just awarded you your 101,000 like / reaction

I`m welling up

 

[Hollinsend]

And mostly empty

I'm in the middle block on our side, 225 - seemed pretty full when I was buying

 

[Grey Blade]

The real reason. £1.70 per stamp will go some way towards paying the latest bad behaviour fine ( hadn't realised a stamp was so expensive!)

 

[JJBlade]

I'm in the middle block on our side, 225 - seemed pretty full when I was buying

Yes, a couple of middle row blocks around each corner flag, the rest empty unless Club Wembley members show up

 

[Hollinsend]

Yes, a couple of middle row blocks around each corner flag, the rest empty unless Club Wembley members show up

225 is toward the halfway line

 

[JJBlade]

225 is toward the halfway line

Yes, I think central blocks around the half way line as far as the corner flags have been put up for sale, but behind the goal not.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Last chance blades, regardless great effort considering our record and the expense and ticketing etc UTB

 

[Bladeloyal]

Round to 214 then it's club wembley where we have somehow got 2 blocks in there , corporate is usually well attended so yes there will be spaces in the club wembley bits at both ends if the stadium . 34k is great turnout ,plus those that have bought boxes and packages .utb JJ the world doesn't end if another club has 1500nmore fans in a 80k crowd

Fuckin ell how many tickets have they been allocated

 

[Blade56]

Aye
Or
Take a hat

Aye
But where you going to keep your sunscreen?

 

[Blade56]

Aye
But where you going to keep your sunscreen?

Won’t let you take it in so I’m drinking my factor 50 outside

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Won’t let you take it in so I’m drinking my factor 50 outside

Aye
Wise move
Also allows space for opportunities to ‘freshen up’ or if the weather turns a bit chilly?

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Aye
But where you going to keep your sunscreen?

Where you get bag from pal?

The website still says one ticket per customer number. Anyone casual fan wanting two tickets may not get past that

Club shop

Oh definitely, didn’t even know they sold them looks mint

 

[Sheffsteel]

Dunno but we were allocated 33k and failed to fill two of the top tier blocks so about 31 at a guess

Do a google search, every report says both clubs were given an official allocation of 35,531 tickets.

The 2 blocks in the top tier are block 526 which has 835 seats in it.
And also block 525 which has 1,118 seats in it but Sunday lunchtime block 525 was opened and made available
But it was only about a quarter of that block was made available,, which when I looked was almost all sold.
So there’s about 800 empty seats in block 525 with netting over it for segregation.

So that’s over 1,600 not sold + all the singles scattered around the top tier, probably 2K seats not sold.
This would mean we;ve sold 33.5K but we were given additional seating in club England
We’ve have 2 blocks of club England which hold 263 seats each.
So this pushes it up to 34K sold to date….based on tickets not sold.

Wembley have today given Sunderland an extra 835 seats from our initial allocation in block 526.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I reckon a few of dem last minute blayards will still be buying till deadline tomorrow. Some paydays tomorrow for example.

bladesmanluke is referring to the Man City turnout .

No it doesn't, I think Sunderland should have been given 40,000 from day one

Aye
Apologies - I’ve got a shit phone camera
It’s actually more like a lime green
