[Albion] Carabao Cup Fourth Round: Charlton - 3rd allocation of tickets

[Wardy's twin]

Away tickets never have been

I know but it seems strange that they aren't , its just tickets they are done like that for home games and for home games at charlton . Just seems that they have not caught up, must be cheaper to do print at home.

Big push from Charlton fans to attend so could see a decent crowd

Rumours of an ownership demo and potentially a new buyer in attendance

It’s a really good fanzine, but I don’t know what the reach is. I very much doubt that the Covered End will be bouncing. It’s hard for me to convey to you just how much apathy there is now. It’s very sad. There isn’t the kind of energy to protest that there was in the Duchatelet era. If you were there for the other Brighton protest game, don’t expect a repeat.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Really don't understand why these aren't print at home tickets.....

I tend to agree. If Brighton can load the seating arrangement into their own system surely they can then create an e-mail ticket for the corresponding seat?

Is there some archaic rule, or reason I’m missing, which prohibits this?

Inspired change to starting line up from the Portuguese manager. Who did this young kid replace again

Oops, sorry. Wrong thread.

"cheaper to do print at home" hmm.... for the club maybe but not for us!
Anyway, being the old dinosaur that i am i much prefer to have an actual printed card ticket than a floppy bit of paper. Oh, and another thing that always intrigues me is why we have to pay an extra pound for every ticket even if several are being posted to the same address in the same envelope! Perhaps that is just me.
On a much more positive note, earlier in the thread i stated that i thought our demand for tickets would be about 5000 if we could get the increased allocation but we are already well in excess of that currently about 5500 with 350 left in the block that is open at the moment and one more block of about 500 to go.

Yep cheaper for the club and hopefully cheaper for us...... You could print at home on card ...

Maybe we're not trusted to write the correct owner's name on the ticket

300 odd left going into purchase history, will that be it?

Another block to be released yet so think around 800 to go
Still 2 further blocks at North end of stand one of which will be segregation

In my experience, any idea that involves me using a printer is a bad idea.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

197 left in WSL

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Just received an email confirming I will need to pick up my adult ticket from the valley on the day (due to processing issues apparently) but my 8 year old sons is being posted to us, hmmm

No need for segregation. You’re the only fans in the upper tier.

Unsurprisingly slow rate of ticket sales now to people with Purchase History only. Might just get the last 700 (of 6,300) sold if the club do a job of marketing them. Going to be c.6K Albion whatever.

Will be a very unusual situation to have so many of our away fans in a relatively small crowd. What is the list of matches in our history when we have had 6K+ Albion away fans in a sub-20K crowd...?? Must have happened but i can't think of one. Maybe Aldershot in the 70s but did we have 6K there..??

Not quite 6k but Wimbledon away when they were playing at Selhurst Park and on the brink, with their fans boycotting. That was quite a surreal atmosphere

Wimbledon at Selhurst Park.

I suspect it will be way short of 20k, nearer 12-15k

Good god man, next you'll be suggesting i get one of those mobile telling bone thingies! I refuse to be dragged into the 21st, or should that be 20th, century!

Wimbledon at Selhurst Park.

I briefly recall one game v Wimbledon at Selhurst. It was nice and sunny, someone shouted out “ang the baaastard!!” during the minutes silence for the two Soham girls and there was only about 2,000 Brighton fans in a ‘crowd’ of about 2,600.

I stand to be corrected on the last point

Did we have about 7000 at Watford in the FA Cup in 1984?

7k to MK (although I think the crowd was just over 20,000...
