pay on the gate - brilliant

[countrygull]

Pay on the gate - like Huddersfield tonight - brings back spontanaeity to football: you don't have to plan weeks in advance, or tickets etc - spur of the moment, jump in the car and go. Bloody brilliant - bring on Falmer - and tonight, bring on Huddersfield

There will be no pay on the gate at Falmer. However if I understand correctly, you will be able to buy tickets from places near the ground on the day.

same as bristol city , a booth outside the ground

effectively pay on the day

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Yeah and Millwall buy from a booth at the ground.

'scuse my ignorance, but I thought the idea of not being allowed to sell tickets at the ground was to stop loads of people without tickets turning up to needlessly destroy the peace and tranquility that is Falmer village. Surely a booth outside the ground isn't going to do this ?

 

[Colbourne Kid]

You will not be able to buy tickets at the ground on match days at Falmer. However, you will be able to buy tickets at the park and ride sites and maybe the two main railway stations.

No he didn't - he answered Yes to the question "Will you be able to buy tickets on the day" - that is quite different as Colbourne Kid outlines above

 

[RM-Taylor]

No, before any one says: Leeds won't be pay on the day

You can buy tickets on the day now, so how does this make any difference?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

you 100% sure about that?

Just going by what Dick said at the Roadshow.

And unlike Withdean, the stadium at Falmer isn't in a residential area. Falmer Village is seperated from the site and police / stewards will ensure us oiks arn't rampaging round the duckpond (theres only one way in and out of the village after all).

No tickets at the ground on the day has always been the law at Withdean, but theres no reason to impose that at Falmer, because its more isolated and has the capacity to cope.

They don't sell away tickets at Elland Road.

Although you could buy a ticket for the home end, East stand being the cheapest.

As I recall it, the question was "will you be able to turn up at the stadium and buy tickets on the day", to which the answer was YES.

I'm sure Dick knew the meaning of this question, and would not seek to be deliberately misleading. Perhaps this needs to be on 'ask the club', or dropped in an email to Mr Perry to clarify.

From memory I thought it had been part of the planning approval for Falmer. I must be wrong (no change there).

Ok, I will do just that and let you know what happens

Good work

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

You just KNOW you won't be able to pay on the gate at Falmer due to the usual planning jump through hoops bollocks. Probably be able to buy them at the ticket office which - surely! - will be on the Falmer site and open on the day of the game. But that's not the same as pay on the gate.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Falmer ticket system will be designed to be consistent with the Travel Plan. The system (and the location of ticket outlets) will encourage purchase of tickets before people travel to the ground. Buying tickets at railway stations or the park & ride sites will achieve this. Buying them at the stadium won't.

You won't be able to park anywhere near the stadium at Falmer without having bought tickets in advance. Unlike Withdean, there's not going to be any free on-street parking nearby. Even allowing for the fact that we are "discouraged" from parking on-street near Withdean, many people still do (and this is legal). It won't be at Falmer.
