Cardiff City (A)

According to AVFC support on Twitter there's over 1000 left for Cardiff and we may not sell out any of our first 3 away games.

Must admit that is slightly surprising, especially with Cardiff being first away game, Saturday 3pm, not on TV and reasonably priced. Last year we easily sold out Sheff Wed away despite it being £42, live on tv and 4.30 Sunday afternoon.

Whatever the reason, there does appear a drop off in demand so far this season.

They're Friday's figures. On Friday we'd sold 3700, we've subsequently sold virtually another block and 400 odd in the process.

This year the Twitter account appears to only update on a Monday and with the end of the previous weeks figures.

I was sad enough to write down how many we'd sold over the weekend and recorded the Cardiff sales as 3762, which I would have done mid-afternoon, only because I was intrigued as to whether my theory that we shift more over a game weekend is true. Today we've sold 4144 total, having moved the last 100 from a block and having moved 100 odd from another.

Reading sold out and R27b appears to be an additional allocation of seats to the right of the away end under the screen.

161 seats were returned from the away scheme for Reading [which is why 161 of the central block seats came back on sale randomly]

Good research Ads. So how many do we have left for each game, do you know?

That pesky QuintonVilla has drawn me in.

Roughly 650 for Cardiff and 200 for Reading.

In respect of Reading, its only a hunch that its extra tickets, as the shape of the block R27b is an inverted V which is the area that, if memory serves, straddles the away end and a bit of the home end under the screen.

Last year the allocation was 4100, this year its 3900. I presume due to our last visits involving pitch incursions, it would means some rows at the front have been tarped off.

Ta. Decent chance we will shift them, then.

Good following either way. Should be an enjoyable day out.

[cdbearsfan]

Hope so. I'm looking forward to the piss up/Doctor Who Experience more than the match, mind!

Still about 700 left. Where have all the away fans gone? Not selling out these big allocations will result in the club taking smaller allocations like we used to, then people will be moaning about it.

Why the constant sniping about away fans? It's getting a bit tiresome.

OMG I'VE JUST READ WE HAVE 14 TICKETS UNSOLD FOR SOME RANDOM AWAY MATCH WHERE IS OUR SUPPORT??

Has anyone received their Caerdydd ticket yet ?

[cdbearsfan]

Nope.

Has anyone received their Caerdydd ticket yet ?

Monday...but no coach ticket.

Bournemouth Lions have a mini bus going to the game and hopefully picking me up on the way. I went on my own last year and got charged £15 on the bridge as I was in my van. A very expensive day to see another miserable defeat.

[cdbearsfan]

What's that? Is there a toll we should be avoiding?

Severn Bridge / Second Severn Crossing

Not a problem for anyone coming M50/A40

I've just spoken to the TO re the non-arrival of my Caerdydd ticket.

They can see that I bought the ticket but it wasn't sent out.

They're now going to send it. 

If it doesn't arrive, I have to call the TO Friday afternoon to be put on a duplicate list for collection at the ground


Therefore, if anyone hasn't received their ticket, I suggest giving the TO a call to make sure that your order was processed
