Slow uptake so the club sent the excess back. Same old story. Barely give people a chance and they’re desperate not to lose a few quid or god forbid let general sale people in.
That away end holds over 3,000 it looked more than 1900
Slow sales. It's obvious to anyone but the ticket office that we wouldn't sell 5000 at nearly £30 a pop for an early round League Cup game.
I was in there and agree it looked more than that
Bout £40 I think
Cost is down to the scallies but taking 5000 was down to us.
Depends how early you buy them. If there's time they post them.
Must admit I am not aware of it, nobody I know has had to though I seem to recall a strong indication they were intending to do so.
Oh I see
The tickets don’t even go on sale to members until tomorrow, you would have thought that they would have waited until at least then to decide whether to send some back.
Yep. Its ridiculous. Should give it a chance and if there’s a few hundred empty seats again so be it. Doubt there’d be many empty at all if they let it run all the way to general sale.
Expensive if you’re only intending on going to one game but if it then gives you the option of going to a number of games why not pay it?
Ok
just under 2,200I was in there and agree it looked more than that
As has been said, an initial slow uptake is a good sign that this isn’t going to sell very well & beens as it was going to be 5,500 we clearly wouldn’t get anywhere near it.
I’m not surprised that the uptake is slow, what I am surprised about is,the fact that they sent so many tickets back before they went on sale to members. There must be quite a few members who haven’t been able to get tickets for league games because of the smaller allocation and would have been eligible for the larger allocation.
I don't understand the thinking behind not allowing it to go to general sale. Are they that desperate they want to sell a few thousand memberships at £35 a go? Small change really.
Have you seen the behaviour of some of them, as Daggers says it’s about the club wanting control and having some idea of who purchased a ticket.
You’re 100% correct. The behaviour of a small minority is out of order. At Villa last season we were in with a right load of idiots. Had my jacket burnt by a flare being thrown at me.
