scott_saints Posted 11 August, 2009 Share Posted 11 August, 2009 2 hours to get there. 2 and a half to get back (on train). Changes at Reading and Basingstoke. There is a cross country but for double the price and to save 20 minutes?? Lots of crates to be consumed on the train methinks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought an extra ticket this morning was told then they had onlty approx 120 tickets left of 1735 tickets they've recived so far.

According to Kelly in the ticket office, dependant on demand tonight they may ask for a further allocation I was under the impression that they were definatly going to ask for more tickets once these had sold, not on the demand tonight! I've got mine already but hopefully they do ask for more so we can get 2k + up there next Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_saints Posted 11 August, 2009 Share Posted 11 August, 2009 More than 2k would be awesome for a Tuesday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Coat Posted 11 August, 2009 Share Posted 11 August, 2009 I think we will definitely have more than 2000 at Swindon if we ask for more tickets. I would expect us to be able to sell another 400 - 500 now there is a buzz around new signings and it's not far to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted 12 August, 2009 Share Posted 12 August, 2009 Surely we can sell out the Stratton Bank, as well as that section in the side stand can't we? Local pride at stake here. Would imagine a fair few fans still to get tickets at the last minute. Damn good value at £16 and just up the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsarum Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 Further 500 tickets just been requested bring allocation up to 2700, should be at least 2500 up there now as nearly 2200 already sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 14 August, 2009 Share Posted 14 August, 2009 (edited) Nice but why don't we just ask for the full allocation (2,100 behind the goal) now instead of wasting time with blocks of 500? If we get a win on Saturday then you can bet there will be big demand on Monday for more Swindon tickets but the club won't have the time to get anymore with it being all ticket so no ticket sales on Tuesday i assume. EDIT Just spoken to David Luker who confirmed about the extra 500 bringing the total allocation to 2700. I asked him why the club hadn't asked for the full allocation of 3,300 & he said that Swindon are only letting them have set allocations at a time.
