[MENTION=15277]kingcole[/MENTION]. How many left?

 

[Sheebo]

Are the ones sold from the van at the station then updated into a computer? Or is it more likely they've taken a block if 300 for example and have marked them all up as sold? Ie there could be even more to sell than the system is showing?

One would hope in this super hi tech world
Of 4G and mobile tinterweb that they just work off DONGLES for a real time computermabob update type
Scenario.

Seriously? £30+ per ticket and people aren't going to turn up because of a bit of light rain? Jheeeez. I remember sitting at Withdean against Millwall I think we won 4-1, literally the wettest a human could possibly be I was that day.

I will take your Millwall at Withdean and raise you Carlisle on (IIRC) New Years day 2006. I think I'm still damp from that game.

I think you will find that was Carlisle United - 30th December 2006

I remember it well. Non-stop rain the whole game. I had waterproofs on but they did very little to prevent a good soaking!

ooh, mine was a 3310 too. clearly a major design issue, perhaps we should try and get a class action against the finnish former telecom giants

There's been a big run on tickets this afternoon - 1470 remaining.

Anyone undecided at this point will obviously get one if they want but assuming a capacity of 30,500 after segregation, we're already at just over 29,000. I'd assume they'll sell 2-300 so the gate will be about 1,000 under capacity.

What is interesting is the NW shelf (which is where I'll be). There was a TON of space in there until this afternoon, and now there are just the 25 seats left across two blocks. Why? I assume they've given 100 tickets away to local schools?

Better to give them away to schools and have bums on seats then an empty (or near empty) block.

 

[Simster]

Yep, but actually I'm not sure they will be schoolkids anyway.

 

[MissGull]

or teachers?!

So where did that number come from?

 

[SurreySeagulls]
