I've got and adult and concession ST and have brought 2 more tickets for my other children for plenty of games this season but night games are a real problem for children and parents too in some cases. If it was a sat/sun we would not be having this conversation.
So the kids might be a bit tired the next day. So what. This is Palace, with the chance of a trip to Wembley at stake. Games don't come much bigger than this. My boy is in the middle of his GCSEs but that didn't enter into it, you can resit exams; this game will probably never happen again and there's no way, no way at all that my boy would miss it.
Call me a bad dad if you want but some things are more important than school.
E1A starting to fill out, just out of curiosity what could the number of STH not being able to go ,for any reason, be? Could be a few seats gaping empty since there won't be enough time for the exchange to do its business. Then again can't be very many, if even a noticeable figure. Even if it is a Monday night in the rain.
if the weather is like it is 2night it might put people off
There will be no ticket exchange for this game as all season tickets holders had to purchase their tickets. Same as a cup game.
if u look at the weather forecast i dont think it will be a problem..

okay mateif u look at the weather forecast i dont think it will be a problem..
okay sorry mateSome parents are aware that it could go to extra time & penalties which would make it an extremely late night for schoolchildren.
What with the possibility of rain & extra time I will be surprised if anyone bothers to turn up.
Regardless of STH not showing, it will not hamper the overall attendance as it is based on tickets sold, not bums on seats, so I expect high 29k to 30100.
STH no shows for this game = tickets not purchased and therefore re-sold.
Probably first occasion since Donny where bums on seats will broadly match the "official match day attendance" figure.
All cup games do.
Not necessarily, I know of a large number of people who were either on the auto renew scheme simply to get the loyalty points and then just choose whether or not to go to the games dependent on other circumstances.
Simply can't see that being the case tomorrow though.
They paid £30 for tickets just to get the points?
this2nd Year Uni exams start the day after the final (if we make it).
I've already had the conversation with my old man, and i'll be at Wembley if we make it. Sod exams.
