[Albion] Manchester United ticket sales

[drew]

I would say the only valid reason for you not going is number 3 !

The other 3 reasons are trumped by the fact it’s the 1/4 final of the FA Cup !!

Agreed.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Three whole blocks, so c3000 seats, not released yet.

Thank you.

That must be the lower tier behind the goal? Or is that the 'normal' away end?

Agreed. PB was adamant that tv times put some people off but that this would be a sellout. Sadly i didnt get a chance to challenge back on the palace game where the tv time did impact attendances

The Palace game was different because of the rubbish that went on previously and people used that as an excuse to stay away. Of course the fact it was on TV would impact the attendance but I don't think it would have been that much. At the end of the day, 8pm on Monday is not much different to a replay at 7:45 on a Tuesday.

Thank you.

The 5500 allocation is normally all upper tier
I think its only of it goes to 8.5k that lower seats are released.

The point is that the statement was made that tv football hasnt impacted attendances. In that situation it clearly did. Albeit there were other factors

Exactly. If the club didn't believe that TV scheduling impacts attendance to any great degree, they would have requested more than 5,500 tickets from Manchester United for the QF.

You could argue that it's a 7:45pm kick-off and no viable means of returning to Brighton on the trains that will limit attendance, but those factors only come into play because it's on TV.

The three blocks that weren’t on sale are all upper tier.

 

[jamie the seagull]

All our blocks are the Upper 3rd tier within the same stand for segregation.

Hopefully some will be left on Thursday

With only 1000 left seems unlikely

Three whole blocks, which must contain 2,500 - 3,000 seats, have not been put on sale yet.

Now that has made me smile

Block 331 - sold out
Block 332 - 25 remaining
Block 333 - 291 remaining
Blocks 334, 335 and 336 yet to be opened.

I'm holding fire until at least 334 opens.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Such kick off times are a symptom of the game taking fans for granted - as is presumed they will do whatever it takes to follow their team

Given that an 11pm finish is possible and you can choose to watch game at home with beer out of fridge at a cost of about £100 or more less than going to game - there will surely come a point at which people say - thanks but no thanks when it comes to following their team

.... and the rest:

£38 Ticket
£55 Petrol
£160 Hotel
£100 Food, Drink & Sundries

Not going to be a cheap one this one, but hey, at least we'll be able to say "I was there" ...... when we went out!

Answers my question from the other thread thanks.

Hopefully some of those people moaning earlier on in the season about not being able to get a ticket for any of the away games at the big clubs as regular away travellers had nabbed them all, will get the chance to go to this one.

 

[Bozza]

Hardly flying off the shelves at the 200 point mark which, I think, would be everyone who has had a season ticket for the life of the Amex. Assuming blocks are the same size, give or take, we're still under half the tickets sold:

Block 331 - sold out
Block 332 - 1 remaining
Block 333 - 247 remaining
Blocks 334, 335 and 336 yet to be opened.

Looking increasingly like a flop. Lots of regulars indicating they won't be going. Absolute shame as if this had been 15:00 it would have sold out.

It was never going to be 15:00 due to all games being televised live.

It could have been lunchtime though, which would have permitted there-and-back rail travel.

At which level do people think these will sell out. As a North West based non- season ticket holder with a bronze membership and well over 50 points, I’m hopeful I will get a ticket on Thursday morning. However my wife wants to come, but has only 47 points. Can I afford to wait until Friday morning to try and get two tickets together?
