There are thousands left for the Palace cup game & it's on general sale. I guess even at £25 it's a hard sell to get people to watch the stiffs play in what's now classed as a 4th rate competition.

Similar to other games though it’s pointless calling it now 2 weeks out when we know tickets will gradually move

If we have all but sold out for Bologna then I grudgingly take my hat off to Heck, he’s actually pulled off some result in selling out the entire ground for the least attractive tie, at hugely inflated prices. I honestly didn’t expect that, so fair play to him.

That's right GA+ like i said earlier, you said 4 or 5 here and there, and that's not 4 or 5 here and there is it?

Paulie's quote was for GA as you added there are GA seats available as well and he countered with about five. He specifically stated GA in there.

I also expect between you with 130 GA+ and John with his 130 GA seats comments, there could have been a misquote going on.

From Heck's perspective, he'll say job well done come the day of the match if all that's left are a handful of tickets. The perfect balance of demand and supply...

It's how it affects other matches. Palace will do well to sell between 25-30k. Bournemouth and Brighton will do very well to get anywhere near a sell-out, as people will pick and choose games. If you were looking to select a game to go to would it be Juventus or Brentford... no brainer really.

Bournemouth is already near a sell out - a few single GA seats dotted around, but then massive availability in the upper away area which they've not taken, and which is greyed out as unavailable on the seat selector but actually available if you click through.

I don't know why they don't make this more clear - if i hadn't read it mentioned on this thread just now, I'd have no idea there were seats there.

EDIT i almost suspect they don't want to sell them all, just to limit the numbers above the away fans.

Unpopular opinion - we are easily selling enough of these insanely priced seats for Heck to expect to see a significant uplift in our matchday revenue at the end of the season.

The CL GA prices are insane, but we are still selling them all.

They think we are mugs of whom there are enough to want to buy £95 tickets, because of the circumstances and the lack of price elasticity involved in football.

The obvious fact is, they're right.
