[Albion] The Swansea Harvest

[Munkfish]

So with the first game since Bournemouth in the Cup, with a real potential for no shows, do you think we will see a full harvest this weekend or will this go without a problem.

15 Loyalty points a 15 hour round trip or £100 for train tickets with United also this month, there may have been a few who brought for th points.

What are your thoughts?

Given that there are small batches tickets popping up regularly on the club ticket site, I'm guessing that many those who have a ticket but "can't" go for whatever reason are putting the tickets back on sale through the club, rather than harvesting the points (perhaps even influenced by Barber stamping his feet after the Bournemouth no-shows). But we'll see on Saturday - I'd still be surprised if there are huge blocks of empty seats.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I bought and I'm going. Same for many others I know.

These tickets have popped up for every game this season so far, the only time I haven't heard of this happening is Arsenal.

Won't happen. A two bob cup game or a crucial league game against a direct rival in our bid to stay up? I'd be very surprised if there was more than a few no shows.

Aren't they checking attendances now? Took a week to add West Ham points..

Impossible to tell, unless you know a 'no-show' at West Ham who's had a 'Barber letter'

I can't see 15 points for £30 is that attractive

 

[DavidRyder]

I'm not sure I understand the appeal for buying tickets just for the points, so that you can get to one of the bigger games later. So 3 or 4 away tickets at £30 each, so that I can go to Chelsea for example. It's the same as saying 'Would I pay £120 to go to see us at Chelsea?' - and the answer is - no!

 

[ozzygull]

Bought a ticket and attending. Looking forward to it as it was one the away games I looked out for after we go promoted.

Thought it looked like a nice place to visit

 

[Bold Seagull]

There will be a few, but with this game I think it is an attractive fixture to pass those tickets on to other friends and family instead. So I don't see there being many spare seats, but I'd predict not everyone who bought their ticket will be the one in their seat on Saturday.

There are surely lots of fans with low loyalty points asking all their friends and family with higher loyalty points to get them tickets if they are not going to use them. It is a win win if you couldn't go to Swansea, but could bank the loyalty points because a mate will go on your ticket and give you the money for it. That will be happening, on what scale is anyone's guess.

How anyone can think a haribo cup game is comparitive to a league fixture is beyond me.

"real potential for no shows" ... Yea I think not.

Strikes me as a debate for those who don't follow us on the road too often.

£17 for me. Bargain.

I know several people who have all brought tickets to hand on as my mates have had to buy them to go.

Barber just arranging ID checks right now

 

[BBassic]

Tickets bought, looking forward to it.

 

[crabface]

Im going. 3pm Kick Off. Winner.

 

[essbee1]

I'm going - but opted for an early train back. Now facing the prospect of a fearsome tab
from the ground to the station at final whistle.

It's not a no show if they're handing them on surely, which happens all the time.

I've passed tickets on and had tickets passed onto me through NSC in the past and points harvesting wasn't in anybody's mind then.

I doubt people in for Swansea even need the points, alot of them probably have enough for wave1 Anfield already without attending another game in between. That ****ing Bmuff game has got everyone chasing their tails, including our CEO.
