1,000 tickets for Donny fans (initial allocation)

[Martinf]

Not sure if this has already been posted but Doncaster Rovers have been given an initial allocation of 1,000 tickets for their game against the mighty Seagulls at the Amex on Aug 6th.

Prices for them: Adults £24, Old Gippers £17, Annoying teenagers £12 and Nippers/ankle biters £8.

Wonder if they will sell them all and ask for more?

...and they're not giving Donny fans any advice on how to get to the ground?

 

[Albion Dan]

Sounds like there may be more available ghagra expected for home fans then. Good news.

 

[Smithy]

I am sure they will. I can see them bringing about 2,000.

 

[HP Seagull]

Surely they will bring more than that? I was hoping for a sold out away end to create a good atmosphere and boost the attendance...

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Perhaps this game will mean quite a bit to them as well..we may just be surprised head says 8-900 heart says they will get close to selling out.

I'm not sure about that. Every club does this for every match ever. A likely scenario is that loads of Brighton fans from yorkshire will buy tickets in the away end and push the numbers over the segregation threshold leading to a non-full house and less Albion fans getting in.

 

[ees complicated no?]

why cant they have the full end of the south stand amount :S

So that in the event they only sell about 1,000, it can be segregated.

Unlikely as you have to be a Doncaster Rovers STH to apply for a ticket at present.

They dont think much of lualua!

I'm sure there was a Donny fan on here a few weeks ago saying he thought they'd bring about 1,000 - 1,200. Could be a few more tickets available for home fans in a segregated South Stand hopefully.

not unless you have the right sort of contacts

 

[Martinf]

Is the Albion going to offer away fans POTG if they don't sell their initial allocation?

No.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Good. An extra 1,000 tickets for us hopefully in the south stand, would mean 2,500 tickets for non-STH so there's a pretty high chance of getting one if organised

Do the math ... as they say.

... Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to Gus, nice blue and white shirts - and the ignorance of the opposition.
