Online Tickets are now being sold on the official website for an area called 'Additional East Terrace'. Great. um, but they are £22 adults, £13.50 concessions and a whopping £12.50 for children. well, let's be honest, when we thought the club were being very clever by deciding every early to only give Alfreton 100-odd seats and keeping the 'away' terrace free for us, did we honestly expect that almost a month later they would then sell the 'away' terrace at the same price as of seats with the best view in the house (i.e. East stand / Dribuild) I hope it's a mistake but are clearly available AND you can click on them and get through to payment details. I haven't gone further of course; as the old tabloid reporters used to say when entrapping a Tory MP with a call girl, 'I made my excuses and left'.  |

It's been suggested that someone at the club may have mistakenly used the East Stand price bracket.
sounds logical.
I just tweeted them to ask them to check.

Now showing as "Additional East Terrace" - £16.00
Hopefully not too many people shelled out £22, before the error was brought to the club's attention.

I just didn't want it putting people off who really did want a ticket. Seeing almost 12,000 gasheads at the Mem will be amazing and probably a one-off. Let's sell those tickets ASAP!!  |

Any idea what the Conference highest attendence has been in recent times? I doubt Luton matched Saturday's potential gate as their ground capacity is less than 11,000?

Wikipedia says its 11,963, but that was for a playoff game. Not sure about regular season. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conference_Premier |

Pretty sure we will beat that mark and set a new all time conference attendance record! |

Just imagine if we don't break the record because alfreton can't sell 140 tickets.

The results Welling are picking up, they may go down that game (bad for us as they'll put everything in to it [even though we should tank them]) so you'd expect they might turn up to try and cheer their team to safety (with the added bonus of playing a part in setting a new record attendance for the Conference). |

One other number to bear in mind.
Bournemouth's highest crowd this season is 11,318. Definitely a figure we could beat of a team 3 whole divisions above us.

we've got to make sure we beat that. doubt we will beat the higher one (the play-off match), partly due to capacity issues [e.g. lost seats in segregation] and partly because the game may not quite sellout. |

Or they might get safety at the Mem (even if we win...it could be possible). LBH no-one likes to see their team relegated, BUT most people like to celebrate an escape. Quandary time. |

The club tweeted that our official capacity is 11,115 - maybe thats because the west enclosure tent isnt up anymore? Looks like we will be relying on winning at Dover and Alfreton to bring 140 to break that conference record.

Looks like we will be relying on winning at Dover and Alfreton to bring 140 to break that conference record. When that tent was up it didn't effect the capacity, the Blackthorn End was reduced by the number of seats in the Guiness 'Stand'. Bit suprised at your number. I'm sure I read not long ago the ground holds just over 12,000, but it's reduced a bit below for segregation for football. And I'm sure we've had more than 11115 at a match at the Mem... |

Think the official capacity is 11,396 but had well over 12,000 v West Brom a few years back. Taking out the segregation drop as with Alfreton only bringing max of 143 surely, If sold out, we should be approaching the 12k mark? |

Also wouldn't be surprised to see 'extra' tickets be available for all terraces once we get to an apparent sell out.

As people have said we used to have the guinness stand which has now gone and the south stand also used to extend further towards the away terrace than it does now so the 11,100ish capacity figure would make sense. Cant see us beating the oxford regular season recordwith this in mind if i'm honest. We'll probs end up with something between 10,500-11,000
