[Albion] Roma tickets - number remaining tier to tier

[Bozza]

Not sure we're going to know this due to the way the sale is happening...

...unless the seat number on the next step is incrementing with each sale. However, on multiple attempts this number went DOWN rather than UP, but it could be I was picking up a "seat" abandoned by someone else...

Whaaa I'm confused

So it's not sit where you want ?

Yes it is.

But, behind the scenes for administrative purposes, the club have some sort of numbering system in place but it doesn't mean anything to us.

However, it looks like there's no way we can identify how many tickets are left, which is quite key information for tier 2 folk.

Yes it is. Bit confusing on day if there are seat numbers on the tickets tho, hopefully it's just a website thing for them to keep track

Unreserved seating is not a good idea.

Unreserved seating is not a good idea.

Why's that, stops so much mid game seat politics

 

[London Irish]

In this country, there is a general convention with unreserved that you have to provide 5-10% extra seating on top of ticket allocation to ensure safety. Let's hope the Romans don't go silly closing off huge bits of away end

Hope you're right but I could also envisage problems with drunken late comers crowding into already full areas...
All season we've been trying to encourage people to sit where their ticket says. So it will mean having to be at the stadium much earlier to secure a decent place, rather than enjoying relaxing in the city for longer.

It's ok for the majority, but crap for people who prefer to pick a certain seat for good reason, e.g. can't comfortably stand for 90 mins.

Some fans can be quite selfish in where they stand. At Luton there was an older couple near us who had seats at the front of their bit, everyone kept coming and standing in the empty bit of terracing (i.e. an access path) right in front of them

I think it will help our atmosphere

 

[Nicks]

It just gives you a random seat number when you go to buy.
As the last poster said it will enhance the atmosphere no end if allowed

Unreserved seating is not a good idea.

In a block that holds 5000, with 3400 ish it might not be so bad.

 

[Midget]

I do agree it helps having all the big singers at the back to lift those in front of them.

A few times away this season people have been trying to start their own songs from further forward when there was clearly already a "main song" going on from behind. It stops people around them joining in.

 

[POP_TONEZ]

Ah whatever it'll be a laugh its an away day innit

 

[jackalbion]

I just got GA11 1065 so its going down and up and sideways, no idea how many have gone.

GA8 730-732 at just after 2pm??

 

[dstanman]

We were GA12 1197/8

 

[Bozza]

I imagine the ticketing system requires all tickets sold to have a block and seat number, so these are invented in order to accommodate an unallocated seat sale.

But there doesn't seem to be any pattern in how they are being allocated to purchases.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Don’t really care about where I sit, just glad I’m in that stadium watching us play Roma.
Anyway they’ll be plenty of space available when we’re all squeezed up the back avoiding getting thwacked by Carabinieri woodwork.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

All those whining about no allocated seats are the exact same types of fans who kick people out of a seat when the person wants to sit with their friends or will choose to sit at an away match rather than stand. Anyway, rant over, who genuinely CARES. ROMA AWAY
