Possibility of getting someone in tomorrow?

[CatkinCUFC]

My brother appeared yesterday from Holland where he lives, having only found out then that he could get off work until Saturday - obviously didnt have time to get hold of an away ticket as we didnt know that he would be around on Boxing Day.

Do you sell home tickets on the day? If you do, are your stewards nice enough to let someone transfer from the home ends to the away end? Its not like there wont be some empty seats......

Merry Christmas everyone!

I've not got any experience in this but if you were to get in the home end, avoid H block+ as that's the singing section. We get a couple of stewards that post on here that'll give you a better answer.

Due to the regulations of us playing at Withdean we don't sell tickets on the gate, but it's possible (if unlikely tbh) that you could ring our ticket office tomorrow but you won't be able to get anything in the away end.

Good luck!

You can't buy a ticket at the ground on the day.

Order one on-line via our website and collect at the ground and I am sure a steward will let you transfer.

Happy Xmas

Can away fans book on line at Colchester United FC and pick up the ticket at Withdean as per home supporters.

You can watch the game from outside the ground, and probably get a better view then from the away end.

Thanks for the help...incidentally why is it all ticket? Council?

He has suggested he may just come down and sit in a pub, im sure the pub would be happy of his twenty quid even if he cant spend it on the match.....

I think the tickets that are unsold by a set date are sent back. Could be easier to get a ticket via the BHAFC website and pick up at the Withdean then transferred into the away section.

No pay on the gate allowed due to restrictions imposed by the city council as the ground is in a residential area. The ticket price for away supporters is less than home fans as it is a restricted view (unless you have perfect eyesight to see the far end goalposts which will be 160 yards away)

and pick up at the Withdean

It's WITHDEAN. No "The"

It's WITHDEAN. No "The"

I put in "the" to differentiate between the stadium and the locality as someone who is from Essex might knock on Mr Catt's front door asking where his ticket is.

 

[csider]

then say 'withdean stadium..!!'

Suggest you PM their names to him as you don't seem to want to "out" them here.

I brought tickets in the home end before and got transfered.Southend springs to mind.I've also sat in the home end at Orient and there stewards were superb and fans.
I also remember leaving my ticket at home and the stewards down at Brighton were nice enough to give me a freebie even know i offered money for it.Not all stewards are tossers.

Whatever the obvious problems with the Withdean, the stewards more than make up for it - my brother did manage to get into the ground in the end. Have never known stewards that actually went out of their way to ensure that people had a good time and drew a positive experience from their visit - they would not last long at the Colchester United stewarding academy with their attitude. I hope it doesnt change when you move to Falmer!

I would be very worried if that performance was typical - we were dreadful, as bad as I have seen us this season and although a draw would probably have been a fair result overall, the fact that you didnt steamroller us is a bad sign. Mind you, whatever his faults Lambert has made us a team that can win even when playing badly.

That puts to bed all this bollocks about us playing well and being unlucky. Always interesting to get a viewpoint from the opposition.

I have seen away fans buying tickets at the booth before the game ( not collecting, buying!)

You didnt play well. If Adams says that then get rid! As my dad said, it was two very poor teams yesterday....Last season we had Geraint Williams constantly claiming that we had played well after getting beaten by better teams, denial springs to mind.

shoosh ! Thats against the regulations. I wonder if some clubs send the tickets back once the deadline has passed and then get fans wanting tickets which are reserved at the booth where they are paid for ?

Probably needed an easy time nursing their hangovers Most stewards are alright apart from the odd few who yearn to wear a swastika armband over their fluorescent jacket.
