Creasy Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) 11,000 ticket sales? Split between both Fir Park and Brandon Parade, 5,500 tickets each. Both open for about 8 hours..which means that each minute at each location they sold about 11.5 tickets. Not a chance. Even 8,000 seems far fetched. But then, there were 3 sellers down at brandon parade which is about 4 tickets per minute per seller which seems slightly more plausible. Still seems highly inflated numbers to me though.

underboyleheating Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not a chance. Even 8,000 seems far fetched. I can only go with what they said in the office this morning, if anyone knows surely it’s them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthefringes Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Any news on cues today? Haven't heard a peep from anyone today! I hope that is a good sign In and out in minutes (a fine conniseur of which the Wicked Witch can confirm) at Brandon Parade. Pain-less transaction, big up to the staff involved in some trying circumstances - hope the club have invested not only in cash registers, but, flak jacket protection for next weeks bun fight.

sbcmfc Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just left the ticket office there and there's no queue whatsoever. Lassie said theyve sold close to 10k I thought more people would have followed my lead, I'm planning going on Thursday, luckily I get a midweek day off, suppose a lot might have only had Monday off. Based on the scare mongering on here, I might try to get up tomorrow? I'd guess we have around 3000 season ticket holders, taking 3 each on average, so on that basis most people must have been already?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkySuperSub Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm going for mine straight after work tonight. Am I correct in saying that both offices are open to 6pm tonight? Edit: Oh, and it'll be 4 tickets out of a possible 8 for us. Including two 'daytrippers' for anyone that's still keeping count!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Noticed on the seating plan yesterday that after the tickets were split between both teams there were still 11,000 left over for corporate and SFA use. Thought I'd have a wee spy at the FA Cup allocations. In a 90,000 seater stadium both Bolton and Stoke have been given an equal allocation of just 25,000 each with 40,000! going to corporate, The FA and neutral fans. It seems that's the standard allocations even allowing for Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc. making the final. That is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshinyhead Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Might be able to get debenture seats through the burd's work. How do the debentures work? Are they segregated or am I going to be sitting with mhankies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Bob Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm going for mine straight after work tonight. Am I correct in saying that both offices are open to 6pm tonight? Hope so, I'm heading up after work as well, thanks to a loan of a season ticket from someone on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hope so, I'm heading up after work as well, thanks to a loan of a season ticket from someone on here. Just to clarify that, I can use the ST of someone who won't be buying any tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 According to the times this is the last "late night" opening and both locations were due to be open to 6pm tonight. Presume the school is being used as a polling station on Thursday night and thats why there's nothing doing that evening? No matter fingers crossed our tickets should be in hand by close of business tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_mfc Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Can anyone help me here, is it just the voucher from the season ticket you need or do you have to fill in one of those pre sale form things? Also does it have to be me that goes up or can someone go on behalf of me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Went up to FP this morning at about 11 no q, but had to wait about 45minutes for family section tickets to be brought from the Brandon parade shop.......... We are in section A5 near the front so thats nearly A1-A5 family section sold out as per the offical site The Family Section will be located in the West Stand Sections A1 to A5. But from the Hamden there is a section A6-A7 which is not included on the offical site prices PRICES SOUTH STAND (SECTIONS P1 P6) £35 WEST STAND (SECTIONS B1 B8) £28 WEST STAND FAMILY (SECTIONS A1 A5) £25 / 10 So not sure there is anymore family tickets left or if they will sell A6-A7 as family section as it does not appear to be advertised. While I was waiting quite a few new season tickets were purchased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Might be able to get debenture seats through the burd's work. How do the debentures work? Are they segregated or am I going to be sitting with mhankies? you could be sitting beside all sorts, including 'mhankies' but equally it could be complete neutrals or well fans they are usually 'good' seats in the South upper Can anyone help me here, is it just the voucher from the season ticket you need or do you have to fill in one of those pre sale form things? Also does it have to be me that goes up or can someone go on behalf of me? you'll need the voucher and if you fill in the form and take it it will save some time and hassle but I'm sure they'll have forms up there for you to fill in if you have printer problems or the likes but check out the form as you need a fair amount of details for each persons tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myteam Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 you need voucher c for defo. you also need to fill in the form(s) for each ticket you are buying (4 persons detail per form) i,m not sure if someone else can go in your place though. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
