Palace still have over 3k unsold tickets for saturday despite........

[TheMajor]

........lowering their capacity (26k) by 3,000 seats for "segregation" reasons.

So a crowd of below 20k is possible.

Reasons?

 

[gazingdown]

Their stadium is too big for their fanbase, simple

 

[jackanada]

Despite being a HUGE club with MASSIVE support almost all of whom are TASTY GEEZERS many have decided not to come because it's going to be a bit cold out and they may be delayed a little getting home.

One word. Tinpot.

The Groupon website is down.

A lot of nigels are hanging fire until the groupon deal is available

I have a feeling you might be right but I'm sure the Palace that have infected this board will give you many reasons why they can't sell out their cup final.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

The attendance threads are very boring.

BUT, second in the league, and at home to their biggest rivals, and they are NOWHERE near selling out.

But we shouldn't be surprised, there were about 10,000 Palace fans actually attending the corresponding game last season.

The rest of them were probably on NSC

Only you are telling lies. As of 3pm today we had just over 2000 left.

About 2050 left with good views and then a few more with restricted views. We are selling 400-500 per day so it's looking like being close to a sell out (bearing in mind there will be sterile areas in the AW)

If you can say 951 seats is 'a few' then [MENTION=21798]TheMajor[/MENTION] is not lying.

It's a weekend game, lots of community service required

 

[TheMajor]

Only you are telling lies. As of 3pm today we had just over 2000 left.

And you believe CPFC2010? who stated prior to the Derby game that you had sold over 17k but the attendance was just over 16k

Pound to a penny you dont reach 22k which is pathetic.

 

[Gullys Cats]

They are running scared

 

[churley1]

There will be over 20,000 which is, yep, exactly the same as the attendance at The Amex last season for your cup final.

Baring in mind 1,000 tickets or so are "restricted view" it's hardly a surprise it's not sold out. Remember, most of the seats at Withdean were restricted in some way which led to you not selling 7,000 tickets when we beat you 3-2 there!

This was our capacity last season and all home tickets sold out within hours of them going on sale. Fortunately when you next visit our home there will be nearly 10,000 extra seats, and every one of these will be sold too!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Withdean's capacity was stated as 8850 on Wikipedia. Hard to see that we only sold 1850 tickets for the game with your lot. Maths is not really your strong point is it?

Oh please. Is that the game you managed to PACK the away end with 600 fans?

Why is anybody bothered?

I couldn't care less about how many tickets have been sold to home fans at another club's ground..Palace or anyone else.

The only thing that matters is what Albion do on the pitch.
