It's still saying that a small number of restricted view tickets are available, in person or by phone, but not on-line. And that you need 1000 loyalty points to get one.
Great it has sold out though, considering quite a few people were saying we would only take about 3,000 Shame it doesnt look like ill be able to get a ticket (through the exchange) but ill just watch it on the TV.
Given the time of the game and cost involved getting there I thought we'd sell about 3k might get to 4k at a push. To sell 6k and all to season ticket holders as well is quite frankly brilliant. Also blows the argument from that lot up the road that our season ticket holders are all true blue gunner gooner super seagull cardboard cut outs.
Have to hold my hand up to being one of those people, mainly because it is either a very expensive day out or a very long drive, happy to be proved wrong tho!
For 6k to go before open sale us fantastic, ongoing demand for ST renewals & those who now know they need to get one to be able to hit the big games augers well for filling all the new seats we can put in
Geek alert: the story on seagulls.co.uk has also set a new record for the number of mistakes on the official site. Think I can count eight in four paras - pretty good going even by their standards. "Blue and white clothing are currently being sold..."?
Superb. Can't make it myself due to financial constraints, pleased to say all my friends will be there and I look forward to watching this one on the box. Have a great day on merseyside everyone.
