Bournmouth - 1st sell out?

[Durlston]

Popped down to the ticket office early afternoon to buy mine and there was still quite a few left in J block according to Scottish Paul. The good weather forecast should help shift a few more.

I think it is simply the Withdean factor, there are many that just wont go because it's so awfull. It won't sell out, I bet it will struggle to be more than 7500, and I should be impressed if it makes it to that number.

 

[Taybha]

Have you actually SEEN pics of the AMEX?

Have you actually BEEN to Withdean?

Do shut up.

I'll look for your post when we sell 15,000 season tickets in the summer before our first championship game.

erm righty ho

Well as it stands....

8860 capacity
350 remaining
500 away end (surely the cherrys will bring more than 300?)
400 (5% no shows - high but?)

that still leaves us with 7600 as it is. Halve the no shows, sell 150 more tickets and Bournemouth bring 500 and we break the 8000 mark!

 

[Steve Foster]

384 tickets left

206 in East stand
178 in South J

My estimate for the crowd is

Capacity 8850
Less 100 (internet stand)
Less 384 (currently unsold)
Less 150 (Family stand)
Less 350 (Away end)
5% no shows (at least) = 393

Crowd = 7,473

 

[kingstn seagull]

i thought the family stand was sold out?

But I still think about 7,200. B'muff wont bring 500

Yes family stand is sold out, as I am a STH here and tried to get an extra ticket for my sons mate, however, most of the no shows will be here as a lot of kids cant make it. Parents are not bothered as an under 10 ST is only a tenner!

But SF's figures allow for a no show element and empty space in family stand which isnt right. So add 150 to those figures and the fact we will prob sell a couple of hundred this morning, when the fair weather supporters realise is going to be 'fair weather' and we could be getting very close to 8000.

My guestimate is 7825.

 

[Steve Foster]

We have sold all of 7 tickets over night

206 available in East stand
171 in South J

Only 377 left. Will they be snapped up?

Or is the lure of watching the game in some outer Sussex pub more enticing for some?

 

[kingcole]

When people realise how good the weather is and the shop/phone lines open, I would be confident of a last minute rush.

Also consider, those who made their mind up t0 go yesterday and are taking kids, can only get the family prices by calling - they are not available online.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Don't forget the 600 folk who will turn up for a 3pm kick-off.

 

[Steve Foster]

Tickets going fast.

Only 327 left!

168 in East
159 South J

Hes not talking about the family stand, he's talking about the other east stand.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

erm righty ho

Was a strongly put post, but I agree 100% with the sentiments behind it. There are SO many Albion fans who haven't been to games in years, if ever at Withdean, who intend returning with Falmer. Withdean crowds have nothing to do with this wonderful club's fantastic potential and (cliche alert) the sooner people realise that the better.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I predict just over 7,000 due to a higher percentage of no shows from STH's.

 

[kingcole]

Correct.

Now 275 left.

155 in W (where those with families will no be housed at discount kid prices as T and U are full) and 120 on the far side of J.

Im just leaving - more excited about this game than any other home game in a long while.....

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

7,326 att .... IMHO

 

[Steve Foster]

Just 281 tickets left

152 East
129 South J

Say 100 Internet stand
300 Bournemouth vacant seats
400 stay aways

Attendance 8,050

Weather is now fab in Brighton. Can't wait

 

[severnside gull]

Based on how quiet it is on NSC this morning I reckon we might just scrape the 8000
