I would be amazed if this did not sell out before 8th September - most will fancy a few days in Sunny Blackpool
-
Big allocation. Relatively cheap. Ground I've never visited. Looking forward to this.
-
I've never been there either. Not too far up the road from me either.
-
Looking for two sth's ref's for this if anyone can help, please. If they've got any history, great, but no prob, if not. Thanks in advance.

That is a big allocation. Sadly didn't go to any games last season so will have to hope that there are still tickets when tehy go on sale. Would fancy this as its a local trip to me right now and I've not been to Deep Dale before. Would hope for a strong performance and three points too as I expect them to struggle this season.
-
Went a couple of years back with Walsall.
Deepdale is a very nice ground, comfortable seats and can get a good atmosphere going behind the goal although was only 500 that day.
Not too far from City Centre either. Shame they never made it to the prem all those years ago...
Is this not likely to make general sale then? 5.5k is still a decent amount to shift among season ticket holders.
-
Great price. Well done Preston. Looking forward to going to one our fellow founding members of the Football League.
-
Looking forward to this. Any pub suggestions??
-
I'm asking that at work and I live here! Deepdale a good mile and half from city centre. Nice big pub called continental near train station but further away. The sumners is the typical away fan choice
-
After a couple of tickets - if anyone has ST refs I can use, please fire me a PM. Cheers
-
According to site...Sold Out signs gone up.
Any chance any more do you reckon...big end that isn't it.
-
Doesn't look like it's sold out to me? Can't see anything on the website.
-
When you try and buy tickets it won't let you and it says sold out. The website did the same for Barnsley though and that wasn't sold out so it may be incorrect.
-
Are you sure it isn't because you don't meet the selling criteria yet? Normally this season when we've sold out they've put the info on this page...
https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/Listings?sTag={D0116A7A-631D-4945-9DC8-61F92823F79E}
Pretty much straightaway.

My cousin meets the selling criteria and it's saying sold out on his, as well as mine. Whether it actually is, I don't know because they do normally announce it like you say.

Thanks to your advice I've just bought two. Very grateful!

Back on sale now. It was a glitch/error as it was with Barnsley.

Someone needs to have that on their things to do list. Ideally at the top.

Tried splitting it at Crewe and it still got to 40 quid...that said 22 quid return from Crewe in first class currently available....

I was expecting to pay about around £20-£25 for a return ticket to Preston. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the price of train tickets. I flew to the west of Ireland last month for £30 return!
-
Yes it's very expensive up to Crewe....not too bad past that heading up the North west.
Good mate lives in Newton Le Willows (next door to Ads probably) so do this trip a few times a year...normally get the London Midland up to Crewe as they do 5 quid single tickets there and back and then get the VT train up to Wigan.
-
Funny thing is, the day after I moved in I saw a girl jogging past our house wearing a Villa shirt. Not seen her since or another Villa fan in the past 5 years up here.
-
An alternative would be London Midland to Liverpool and local train to either Southport and bus (20 mins) or Ormskirk and get on the West Lancs Line to Preston in probably the worst train I have ever travelled on.
-
Quick question? Do the tickets go on general sale from 4.00pm? The wording on the website is unclear.
-
Damn that online system is confusing! Had to look up Mum's reference number so I could book another ticket for her. Anyway two booked for me! Should be quite an atmosphere. Looking forward to it and hopeing for a decent display and a win.
-
First-time purchaser here. Curious as to what and how the 'areas' work when purchasing? Would expect to have seen block numbers or something? Just went for Best Available, but wondered what the difference in the areas was?

Thank-you. Yes booked them yesterday. Should be a decent game and its my first time at Deepdale.

If you look at the pics of the Bill Shankly Kop -link below - there seems go be 7 sections in the seating.

Bought my ticket - not sure where I'm sat, as it was bought online....looking forward to it though!
-
Got mine yesterday.
-
If the train looks over the top then why not try Ecker and North Walsall Lions, Goughy and Premier or even Hatchett's Sutton lot.
They'll pick a good pub too.
-
Sold out..amazing! !
-
Doesn't say sold out yet on OS?
-
It is sold out. Superb effort. Now for Barnsley...
-
I'd be surprised if Barnsley sells out. If it doesn't then fair enough.
-
Great effort again from the away support. Looking forward to popping my Deepdale cherry :) Should be a great atmosphere if nothing else. A game we should be targeting to win of course.
-
2 tickets available face value, Gone
-
If any has one spare I'd appreciate a DM. I wasn't originally able to attend but now will be able to. Long shot, I know...
-
Trying to sort travel for 2 lads as train is very pricy...are there any coaches going from or past Banbury? Or even Solihull?
Any leads gratefully received! Cheers

I'm travelling onwards to London after this match and would rather not take my bag to the ground, particularly as it may contain a bottle of rakija bought on my current holiday as a gift. I know Preston train station doesn't have luggage storage. Does anyone know if the bus station does? The only thing I've found online is a forum comment from 4-5 years ago saying it does. Can any locals shed some light?
-
Got an adult and a senior ticket if anyone's interested as we can no longer make it.
Now sold

Are you going to a pub first? I'd ring up the manager in advance and ask if you can leave it there until after the game, as long as you show them what's in it beforehand it should be ok.

Got anyone to use the adult ticket though? :P
-
Meanwood, I'm afraid I can't shed any light. I called Preston Bus and they gave me a defunct phone number for Preston Bus station security! You can leave the bag at my house if you like, I'm in Longton 3 miles away from station (PR4 5EE). Probably not that convenient, as it's a £8.00 taxi ride away. Making plan's is difficult as have two sets of mates to collect from the station at around 11.00am. Anyhow, PM me if that is an option.
-
Maybe if you can find someone who's driving up on here they might let you dump it in their boot during the game? All I can think of as Preston don't do left luggage any more. Otherwise asking ahead or on the day with a pub manager might be a good bet.

Some one posted on a website that it's better to go to junction 31a after the game as the Blackpool road is a nightmare after the game back to the m6 jct 31 any idea if that's true.
Also meaning wood send me a pm if u want to drop it in my boot

Meanwood villa bloody iPad changed ya name
