[Albion] The "Frank Lampard's Derby Cup game - East Stand Upper + West Stand Upper OPEN

[TheJasperCo]

Mill Road P&R won't be open, even though the attendance is likely to be > 27,000? OK.

 

[Alba Badger]

Bought 12 tickets in E1C east lower (Same seats as W Brom Cup game) me my 2 boys and a mixture of mates and their kids. Hope we can get at least 25k in the stadium. Being on TV and early kick off aside I think it should be well attended.

And just bought another 2 one adult one kid so will be 14 of us in total. Love spreading the word of the Albion!

What they did for the West Brom game was to start off by saying it will be closed and when enough tickets were sold they opened it up. same as opening up the upper parts of the stadium when demand warrants it.

 

[Wozza]

Can I just buy a ticket at the shop?

Why not do it by post? Remember a SAE.

Please allow 28 days for delivery.

Tried west lower for a change for the West Brom game and it was ok but had an odd couple of people next to us pulling weird faces if we dared to sing. Prefer to stand and have a bit more atmosphere around me so back to the North for this one.

West Brom bought down 4,000+, and I'd say your support is on a par, possibly slightly less than theirs so should be knocking on 4,000 away audience I'd have thought.

Who knows but TV, travel disruption and (I'm sure the feeling is mutual) is not the most attractive fixture.....

I decided to treat the Mother and Father in Law to seats, too. I'm slowly converting them to the Albion... It'll be a costly exercise, but I'm winning so far

Logged in at 9.43, had a coffee, kept coming back and refreshing. 9.58 and wallop - the game appears. Like an e-athlete I'm clicking on the good seats. The first 10 blocks 'available' seats I clicked on immediately came up as 'unavailable' (so some bugger beat me to the click). I got two in the end in W1F which they'll be delighted with! Well pleased.

UTA !!

More training needed, I was refreshing like you, but with the difference of at 9.58 in and secured my usual West Lower seat.

Like Muttley I'm demanding a gold medal for this

Agreed. Couldn't see us taking more than around 2-3K(max) in similar situation.

Not true. Their allocation was 4300. They were around 1000 short of selling them though

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

A pox on the person that has taken my seat

 

[Wardy's twin]

It's the club being conservative. A reaction to the fact that we're didn't come close to selling out against Palace in the cup when all the stadium was opened.

Of course this was because of evening KO, TV coverage, no trains, trouble at previous match, higher prices etc etc, not a sign that there's no interest in the FA Cup, but there you go...

maybe.... but this strategy might actually put people off.

They might say that now, but history tells us it will open...

The tie is far more appealing to a Championship club than to a PL club.

Sorry

Sound about right, the lower end I reckon. Not that it's at all important!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

My normal seats had gone by 10.02

Got to be quick....

Same here. Got the ticket directly behind, so I can judge whether they are worthy of my seat.

 

[Easy 10]

I will mostly be waiting for the ESU to open, whereupon I intend snaffling 8 seats.

 

[Springal]

Waiting for WSU to open. What a pointless exercise this is, do the club really not know the demand ?

 

[RandyWanger]

Holding out for ESU. Sat in the ESL, WSU, WSL and stood in the North. The atmosphere may not be the best, but in my opinion, the view is.

 

[amexer]

Very hard to understand. We have been on TV so many times and attendances always held up. Why have they not learnt from West Brom game and we are 3 games from the final. 100:% certain will be 25k plus so why didnt they give ST holders in all but upper west until tonight to claim there seats.
