Fair play to the club. Very good pricing bearing in mind they would still sell if they were 10quid dearer.
-
Just waited in queue for 15 minutes - then find no tickets are available - then look at details and they are not available to 5pm.
So why let people log on and wait in the queue?
-
Got my ticket
-
Massive queue online...will wait until later this evening and everything to die down.
-
Fucking 2k away! - shite.
-
Is your card number your fan ID?
-
Is your card number your fan ID?
Sorted it.
-
Anybody else having trouble? After waiting 30 minutes in a queue I still can't buy them!
When I reach the "review order page" there is an error. The price is showing as £0.00 and as a result I can't buy them. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the price.
It might just be me being stupid but any ideas?
-
Finally sorted it - it is a bit difficult to understand but second go I worked out how to do it and was able to upload all our tickets to our cards.
It did not go straight to our tickets which was a bit off putting but if you go to your personal page your tickets should be waiting for you to book. (If you are a season ticket holder)
-
Hi Villains
Any news on Official car parks.
Will they stay open, until the match has finished e.g extra time.
Many thanks
-
I can upload tickets to our cards but they are still showing £0.00? Great price I know but I can't buy them!
-
Would have been nice if they’d made it a bit clearer which number they wanted entering.
Finally figured out it was the ACN number rather than the long card number or Fan ID
Why does one card need three numbers on it anyway?
-

Did you get sorted mate?

Can’t seem to buy mine

No not yet. I gave up yesterday after many failed attempts.
I'm going to have to wait in line on the phone I suppose - so much for technology!
-
Normally I’m old school and always phone up to buy my match tickets using my Claret Membership card. Yesterday I ordered online and found it to be very efficient indeed - self explanatory, fast and impressive.
Will hopefully be using the system again for the final on May 26th !
-
I am the same as BCV comes up with an error and a price of zero, must have tried 20 times, tried calling but left endlessly on hold. Will try again later . :(

Sorry for your trouble but glad its not just me!
Sorted now - got through on the phone and all systems go!

No confirmation email yet but my ticket is showing OK on my online account

19000 sold as of this afternoon, with 2000 away fans and 1000 segregation on top of that.
The criteria change has seen a few thousand go since 5. Less than 20 tickets left in the Holte.
-
Seen people panicking for tickets but I still don't think it will sell out. Hope I'm proved wrong though.

Two left in the Lower.

Boro sold their 2000 in 10 minutes. They don't have a priority system so they just put them on sale to 17,000 season ticket holders and it was a free for all. Crazy system.

Lots of Boro fans that have been to games all season will have missed out for people who only turn out for big games. That must be hard to take for the loyal fans. Hopefully loads of their half arsed fans who barely know the words to songs and like to sit down all game got tickets.

There's 7000 left according to Twitter.

No, 19000.
It's only been open to non-season ticket holders since 5pm and effectively every season ticket holder has taken up their seat in 48 hours, despite not needing to until tomorrow.
20,000 seats in 48 hours is a lot. I looked at 4pm and then at Half 6 and after the criteria change, thousands had gone.

A silly system. The 800 who came earlier on a mid-week should have had priority, but if you've never been to an away game you could jib in. They only have 125 away scheme members And have generally poor away support, but this seems a mad and entirely unfair system.

ignore that thing off twatter as Ads said its about 22,000 including away fans
-
Great factual data QV. Do you know if Upper Trinity is open for this match?

Yes mate it is
-
The article on the website is accurate up to the criteria change at 5pm. I don't know how accurate the Twitter post is, but the Holte for example is about 2 or 3 tickets from being sold out, rather than the 1000+ that were available before 5pm.

Thanks. Should be a great night providing we keep it good on Saturday
-
Just found out my mate went to buy a ticket today only to be told he couldn’t as a ticket had already been purchased on his ID no. He hasn’t already bought it and found out someone else has used his ID. Anyone else experienced this? If so, did the ticket office do anything?
(I had posed this on the play offs thread, but saw this home playoffs thread so posted here)

That post was on Facebook as well and the same a/c yesterday said there was over 25.000 sold which was clearly incorrect, they need new batteries in their calculator or more fingers to count on
-
Either way, several thousand more have been shifted tonight.
-
Anyone know when the semi final is? Do they serve Bovril?
Thanks in advance guys.

Presumably that's how many season tickets have been sold, assuming all season ticket holders purchase? Season ticket holders have until 5pm tomorrow to purchase, I believe.
-
Just having a quick look on the website and the tickets available are more or less matching the numbers that Quinton has posted for each stand.

More seats will be available once all the non-claimed season ticket seats have been released

Yes but not 20,000 more.
This could well be sold out by the weekend, if not earlier, which is great going.
It's a pity that our away section is so rigid. If it was designed to be more flexible, we could probably fit another 1,000 home fans in there.
-
Easiest and quickest booking of tickets ever !
Bring it on :)
PS - Please don't screw it up at Boro

Boro actually selling out the away end at VP will be a very rare sight. Been to many games against them and always remember in the prem they struggled to even sell out the upper Witton.

My biggest fear, we sell out and then lose by 3 on Saturday - I can see us coming back from 2 down but not 3

Goodness me Richard, what's with this neggo? Sort yourself out, man!
-
Ha yes you're right Des ! I think we will draw or lose by 1 actually it's just the thought of us having one of our crap games again like Norwich or QPR
-
Boro have around 600 tickets remaining for their home leg so they've sold around 32k-33k including our 2k.
-
There are 1439 tickets still available for purchase on the website. Its never an exact science it seems, but it does include Holte End seats that were classed as sold until the season ticket holder deadline passed, so it would seem unlikely that there's anymore tickets awaiting release.
Upper Trinity - 649 [majority of them are in A8]
Middle Trinity - 217
Lower Trinity - 74
Upper Holte - 22
Lower Holte - 63
Lower Witton - 17
Upper Witton - 205
Lower North - 9
Upper North - 183

Yes Richard it's not as if Boro are as good as Norwich :)
VCTM let me know your whereabouts on Tuesday?
-
As has been posted elsewhere. As of around 5pm we'd sold 39,700. I suspect 41223 is the maximum for this one with the reduced away allocation, so circa 1300 left now.
-
Fulham have only sold 1700 out of 3100 for Derby tomorrow. Piss poor.
-
Derby and Boro haven't sold out and both will have sub-30k attendances.
Surprising. I'm excited for these Play Offs. You'd think everybody would be keyed up.
-
Not really, they simply don't have the support and never have had it. It's why they have to do a neutral end. Nothing piss poor about a smaller club not having the support.
-
According to the Boro site, they’d sold 27k plus at 3pm this afternoon, including our 2k. They say they expect to sell out. Cant see it myself. They could have given us another 2k, quite easily, but obviously didn’t want us drowning out the home support.
-
I can never understand why any club would give the away side more than the minimum for important games like this, you want as much advantage as possible.
-
In the hope that being less stingey would be reciprocated. In any case, "atmosphere" is overrated. If it really made much difference, Barcelona and Arsenal would never have won a trophy and Turkish clubs would dominate Europe.
-
I said important games, not every game. It can make a difference at times though, which is why as the home side i'd allow as few Boro fans as possible.
And you just named named 2 successful clubs that have bigger home to away fan ratios than most clubs :P
-
Yeah, but they never make any noise though. If QuintonVilla had been born in Catalonia, he would be seething.
-
378 left.

Got a single print at home in A1 in the Trinity Upper, if anybody needs one. £30 face value. Only drawback is you’ve got to sit next to me and my son!.

Had to read that twice, lol!

Hypothetical question and answer.
If we had an infinite attendance for tuesday what would it be, I'd go for 55000. ?

No it would be infinite.
-
Actually FF, the attendance would be statistically Nil because any finite number in an infinite space is as near to zero as makes no odds
.....well, that's the HHGTTG theory
-
Cant make the game now so I have 2 print at home tickets for sale if anyone is interested. L1 in Lower Holte restricted view tickets £19 each/£38 for both.
-
Ill have one, PM sent
-
Have you received it?
