Sunderland Ticket Update

[Superphil]

1901's means any of 3000 might turn up might not. this is included in the 18500,

Do you look at every thread and try to put some sort of ridiculous angle on it? I quote:

'means any of 3000' What? 3000 what? Or are you refereing to the 2500 members of the 1901 Club?

'might not turn up' What? you mean they migh turn up too, especially as they have paid for it? Or are you holding out for a collapse of the fan base, starting in the 1901 Club?

Out of interest, what scenario would make you happy? Or put another way, what are you hoping for, so you can come on here and start slagging it off?

Just logged into my e card page and Sunderland is no longer listed in my events.... Hope there isn't a problem!

Yay for the Reputation thing, I got a negative for this post, suggesting I'm not the brightest, well thank you Stephen Hawkins. Which bit of my post wasn't so bright?

edit, probably get another one for this post

 

[kingcole]

North = 34
WSU = 398
WSL = 840
East = 620

 

[Wilko]

CHeers Kingcole, I am going to give you some POSITIVE rep for doing all this.

 

[Bigtomfu]

North = 34
WSU = 398
WSL = 840
East = 620

So assuming that the other stats are correct (i.e Sunderland only having sold 900 of their 15% allocation and those remaining tickets not being available for Albionites) we are on for an attendance of approx. 18,000.

Of which only 15,000 are paying customers (1901ers excluded) @ at an average of £22ish per person = £330,000.00 Comfortably breaking our record gate receipts record which I believe was set at roughly £190,000.00 against Crawley in the FA Cup.

Nice work everyone.

Should be a good game im looking forward to this one, be a good test this one like the stoke one was last season, we have definately improved since that game.

 

[clippedgull]

True, I forgot about 1901 no shows, however there wasn't a load of no shows for Gills, one can only asusme it will be less for Sunderland (especially considering the higher ticket price)

It's no charge in the 1901 for cup games, so your theory is incorrect.

How much did we make from the Spurs game?

did not read the post correctly. kingcole suggested that home attendance would be 18500, he went on to say there would not be any no shows as people have specifically bought their ticket for this match.

so my post was to just say that with 1901s not having bought their ticket, some might not be able to make it, can not get here in time etc. so where as kingcole assumption is correct with people buying ticket (very high percentage will turn up) the percentage of 1901's will be nowhere near as high?

how is that hard to understand?

 

[Superphil]

I'd rather answer this on here rather than a PM, it is a discussion board after all. You said 3000, when there are 2500 1901 members, I didn't understand why you would say 3000, when, if you weren't sure, is easy enough to find out how many there are before posting. You said 'might not turn up', why would they not turn up any more than a STH? They have paid for their tickets too you know, which seems to be something you are not aware of. The undertone of your post seemed to me that you were pointing an accusing finger at certain elements of the Albion fan base, namely the 1901 Club members. Sorry if I have got that wrong IYO, I stand by what I said, as I did read what else had been written.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

In all honesty, 'Surport', everything you type is hard to understand because you don't punctuate correctly or use capitalisation. I mean that sincerely, I'm not taking the piss, so that may be why somebody couldn't get what you were driving at.

ok if u want to split hairs between 3000/2500 my point still stands. 1901 package means u get cup tickets automatically. sth have to pay for them extra. simples

fair point

 

[super-seagulls]

Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, but Radio 5 announced the game as tonight's commentary match this morning. There's a faint possibility that piss-poor weather and live radio commentary will put paid to any last-minuters that might otherwise have bought tickets.

There is always live radio commentary for every Albion game on BBC southern counties. 93.5 fm. This should not affect attendance.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I suspect that people in Sussex would attend notwithstanding commentary, but for those of us coming from further afield, there are some for whom this would make a difference. National coverage, even radio coverage, is better than nothing and obtainable everywhere. That isn't the case with Southern Counties. When I had a job which required me to work on Saturdays I had to miss home games from time to time, and the frustration of finding Southern Counties on the internet, hitting 'listen live' and getting Eastbourne Borough versus Mothercare Works Second XI was considerable, let me tell you. So it may have a small bearing on numbers coming from further out, that's all.

Ok maybe, but one can also listen via the seagulls player online, if not in Sussex.

 

[super-seagulls]

You meant 95.3FM

Yes, yes I did!

 

[kingcole]

Was just about to give a ticket update, but the game no longer showing on the website?
