JRM Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Game is still 4 weeks away, going on the usual ticket office time lines i reckon they won't go on sale at least for another week, probably only get 2,200 for it so will sell out really quickly.

Isn't there a rule that away teams must have 10% of the capacity? If so we're entitled for 3,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southamptonbairn Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Home tickets went on General sale today on West Ham site. Most London games are restricted to SFC season ticket holders, so I took the plunge and will be sitting on my hands yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Isn't there a rule that away teams must have 10% of the capacity? If so we're entitled for 3,500. Depends on whether our ticket office demanded the extra i guess http://www.footballgroundguide.com/west_ham_united/ Away fans are housed in one end, in the lower tier of the relatively modern Sir Trevor Brooking Stand. The usual allocation for away supporters is 2,200, but if demand requires, away fans can be allocated the whole of the lower tier of the North Stand, where up to 3,600 supporters can be accommodated.

JRM Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 We'll be given over 3k. You never know with saints, as tickets went on general sale today i have just registered on West Ham's website, i can see the away stand they have blocks NL5 and NL6 available for home fans to buy, but blocks NL1, NL2, NL3, NL4, are all restricted so looks like that is what we have been allocated so we definitely don't have the full lower tier.

Berkshire Saint Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Surely we'll have no trouble selling this out if we get 3,000 or so? Desperate to go to this one so hoping the ticket office allocate this one reasonably fairly by not doing this '2 tickets per season ticket holder' bull**** they often do. Still think people who go away regularly but aren't ST holders should be given some priority ahead of ST holders who don't go to many aways.

marc_saint Posted 17 January, 2012 Share Posted 17 January, 2012 Leeds and Leicester both had just under 3,000 when they went to Upton Park earlier this season, so I'd hope we'd get the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes travel down in the afternoon and back home on the sleeper service. Hopefully some kind ST holder will offer a favour for Watford 25/2 and Palace 9/4 ooooooooh I did that once for a Good Friday late morning game, was really quiet but still took a bottle on the head for my trouble, still no bottles now so might only catch a few coins or the odd antiquated mobile phone.

sandwichsaint Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 Really hope the club have pushed for max allocation for this. We have a group of 5 (no STs) who have been to about 6 aways each. I'll be proper ****ed if the club take 2k and then put them out in a very restricted last-minute window to 'two per ST' or some such rollocks. Let's get them out to one-per-ST this week, and then database one-per-customer-number next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 They'll sell out to ST holders anyway I'd imagine. Remember it's half term too. You could look at it the other way. Still a 3 hour journey, midweek, away from home, £30+ tickets. Knowing Saints we'll stuff up ticketing for this as we always seem to do these days. Got quite a few games to sort coming up that will be popular - Millwall, West Ham and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess millwall tickets will be on sale very soon too. for anyone wondering tickets are on open general sale on the west ham website, i registered yesterday and anyone can buy if you are prepared to sit on your hands. From what someone posted about we should get about 2900 like Leicester and Leeds did, considering it is midweek, on valentines day, i reckon there will be a few going on sale to non-season ticket holders. good one to do by train, going via Waterloo and Jubilee line to West Ham.
