In memory of gasheadray I thought i'd give some idea of sales on the Blackthorn ('High Spec North Terrace') terrace.
I'm not trying to be anal and am certainly not ITK, it was just that when I bought my tickets for Crawley & D&R on Good Friday, it was interesting that the D&R ticket number was about 400 MORE than the crawley one, suggesting that like me, a lot of people are buying ahead because they know they'll want to go to the last home game of the season, whatever position we are in, and that it's all ticket anyway so might as buy now. It is also £4 cheaper than the Yeovil & Exeter matches.
of course, none of this is perfectly scientific, but it certainly does seem that the ticket numbers do run consecutively (e.g. my tkt for Cambridge was bought pretty late and was number 3,400+; the blackthorn capacity seems to be 3,710), so it really does suggest that tkts are selling well, and at about 100 a day
APPROX TICKETS LEFT for North Terrace
Good Friday Late Last week Saturday Today (monday, 1pm)
D&R 1,705 1,115 1,009 807

I meant that normally people who buy on the gate or even slightly in advance wouldn't be looking forward 4 / 5 games ( as many were before Cambridge) and buying that far in advance. not all could also afford to do so. Many would wait or indeed would simply have no choice but to wait. it's clear from sales that many have taken the plunge on D&R but not the category a games yet. |

OK, I guess they don't want to miss a potnetial promotion party although the other two games could well be the important fixtures, results wise. |

I've done exactly what you've said a week or so ago. Purchased 12 tickets as a group of us are going up and wanted to ensure we got in |

Click on the blue square that says "Click here to choose your own seat from the from the plan" - the map of the ground then pops up and if you click on each stand it tells you how many tickets are left. At the moment it does say "0" for the West Enclosure. |

It is worth checking regularly though, I bought a couple of South Stand tickets online this morning which weren't showing as being available last night! |

Shows what a joke these category A games are. On what planet are Yeovil or Exeter going to cause enough trouble to warrant a £2 increase on tickets. I hope that these prices dissappear as they clearly put people off and we probably end up making less money than if it stayed at £18.

Literally just left the Kingswood shop and some bloke asked for tickets for west terrace only to be told that they'd all gone. Lunchtime today I rang the club to find out availability on tickets for west enclose at D&R game. I was told straight away that all tickets are sold out for the west enclosure. So I went online and bought a ticket for another area of the ground. I sent a text message to a mate who I stand with and explained the situation, and what area of the ground I have now got a ticket for. About an hour later he text me to say he had just rang the club and got a ticket for the west enclosure??? I've not been able to get hold of him to find out how he got it? And I have tried ringing the club several times this afternoon to question this, but no one is answering the phones!!! The only thing he has got is 'Helpline' ? But I was told there are no more tickets for west enclosure? Bit p***ed off really, they either do have tickets or they don't??? |
