I'm hoping there's some left when it drops to 5 aways but I can't see 1250 lasting long.
-
Just had an email back from the TO saying that the KO of this game is still subject to being moved for TV
-
Qualifying for a ticket for this will sort the wheat from the chaff
-
Huh?
-
Just counted up my league aways from last season and I'm spot on the 10 required for first dibs on Bournemouth tickets.
I might go part way down on the Friday and then get into town early on the Saturday.
-
Will this be the lowest opening day crowd we've ever played in front of ?
-
That would be 2,500 at Wolves in 1888.

Well I meant more in the modern era, say post WWII even.

Which sadly for him won't mean anything of the sort.

Tickets booked at 8.58! Happy Days!

sadly with my 7 away games from last season I may struggle...does anyone know what the approx size of our "away club" allocation ? as this may determine whether I can get one or not...

I fit into the 3+ away games catagory so will hope that there are still tickets left then. It would be a good game to see, but if not I am aiming for at least one of the opening three games maybe two.

We've been allocated 1250.
Got mine about 10ish.
Mate doesn't qualify 'til Friday but the TO couldn't say if they'd be sold out by then or not.
Obviously!
-
Ticket ordered.
However, looking at the prices for hotels in/around Bournemouth, I'll probably be going down and back on the day.

That's a bit out of my way and involves having to go round Southampton on the Sat
-
I'm hoping there's tickets left on Monday...any ideas?
-
Any of you slags got tickets yet ?

I'm in the same boat as you Des. Hopefully it won't sell out tomorrow when it drops to 8 games, then we may have a chance.
-
I've booked a hotel for the Friday night.
£55 using a Hotels.com discount code.
I'll have to move the car on the Sat morning because its too far to walk, even for me.
I'm planning to park at the Sovereign Centre for the game

official site says...Tickets for our opening game of the 2015/16 season are now sold out.
We have Bournemouth on Saturday August 8 at the Goldsands Stadium, with a 3pm kick-off.
We will be backed by 1,250 for the game against the newly-promoted side, led by Eddie Howe.
Thank you for your tremendous support!

I hope my mate realises how lucky he is and treats me to a pint or two...anyone know of pubs with decent beer near the ground?
-
Rang up bang on 9am and got ours.
-
just rang the ticket office and have been told that any returns( and he did not believe that with a small allocation there would be) that they would still be available to anyone with 8 aways....I have 7 :(
have a good day everyone.

Any other away schemers get hit with a random £3 booking fee?

I'm not in the away scheme, but I thought part of the £25 joining fee was that you didn't pay a booking fee on tickets?

I wouldn't believe a fucking word out of the club anymore

It's been refunded now. Technical error I presume.

Because we haven't sold out star midfielder, you now don't trust the ticket office staff?
Makes sense.

Poole shouldn't be too expensive

In the end I found a place just on the Poole side (easier for me to get to) of Bournemouth for £55 after using a hotels.com discount code.
I know that I'll have less distance to travel for this one than most people but there's no point rushing down and back in a day if I don't have to.

Disappointing to learn that the club having been selling tickets from our small allocation to non ST holders, without any away booking history.
As long as they're willing to pay £120 for an "executive package" of coach, ticket, breakfast and access to a private bar.

Shame I couldn't get a ticket and it is annoying to hear about that too.
Would have been a good match to see, have fun those of you who are going! The whether should be good at least. Lets hope we don't fall into the trap of so many other teams when playing newly promoted clubs and that we can have strong start to what is looking another tricky season.

That's poor if it's true.

It's definitely true as my mate has booked himself and 3 others on it! None of whom meet any of the criteria. He admitted himself that it's a piss take!

That's poor, especially where i'm sure there were people who had 8 aways and missed out for whatever reason.

That's very poor for a game with such a low allocation; symptomatic of the state of Premier League football. Having booked hotel yesterday three tickets arrived today but I'd have liked a fourth for my wife, who is also travelling down; however, like some of the aforementioned posters, she didn't have enough 'aways' from last season.

Cash bar ? Is that on the coach ?

View the game from the away stand enclosure
They'll still be in with us for the game.
Hopefully it won't be obvious who they are

That is certainly poor form!
By sheer coincidence we have booked to be in Bournemouth that weekend long before the fixtures were anounced. Tickets would have been a bonus but still hopeful of catching some of the match-day atmosphere in town. If anyone knows where our travelling friends will be 'limbering up' then please do tell.

Looking for a spare adult ticket. If you can help, please PM me.
Thanks

Still looking for a ticket. Will be going to game anyway hoping to get a spare.
-
I called the TO last week and got four returns, all together.
-
bournemouth game is live on setanta, so will be on in the proper irish pubs.
they're obviously hoping for an upset (a villa win...)
-
Long shot I know, but I'm still ticketless, should anyone be able to help...?
-
1391 tickets Leicester have for Bournemouth. Why did we only have 1250. If we could have had more tickets villa should have requested the maximum. Still looking for a ticket.

how do you know villa didn't get 1391, and put 1250 on sale and kept some back for the executive travel packages/corporates?

The local paper here in Bournemouth had us down as having over 1300 supporters at Dean Court
