Saint_Jonny Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Great effort! Will be a good atmosphere with Ipswich bringing over 5k fans (most of the noise will be coming from them this weekend, I feel!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Thanks for the tip off. Was gonna just pay on the day but I think I might stroll up today and get mine to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 It is a top effort, ipswich have confirmed they sold out 5500 being the whole of the Northam stand so that will limit the amount of segregation needed. Can see this selling out over the next few days. Still availability in hospitality, £25 for the saints bar, I'd recommend that to anyone who wants to try the best seats in the ground for a cheap price. I don't think the Ipswich end will make that much noise, massive travel club day out on a sunday, bet they'll be mostly sat down Crowd of over 31k will be among the biggest of the round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Why should they drop the prices more? Haven't we sold out most home games recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 30 December, 2014 Author Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Why should they drop the prices more? Haven't we sold out most home games recently? Recently but not for all the smaller teams. I'm also not sure what's going on as we used to get over 32k when we sold out now the sell outs are like 31.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Yep. Will be a good game I reckon. Easier schedule than us as well, they played last Friday and play again tonight, so basically they've a match less in the period than we have.

Wes Tender Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Bought three tickets this morning and nothing left except singles anywhere in the stadium apart from the Chapel. I have a sneaking suspicion that had Cortese still been here, the ticket prices would have been much higher than they are. It just goes to show that the policy of selling at a decent price produces a capacity crowd, therefore good support and spin-offs for merchandising and concourse sales.

BadgerBadger Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 4 tickets bought today, singles in block 3 but better than 4 together sat down in th chapel - i wager this'll be a good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Just goes to show the interest is still there if the club get the ticket pricing right. Something our previous CEO didn't seem to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Sensible pricing by the club, I'm going but wouldn't have bothered had it been £20 or anything close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where strength in depth comes into it. Are we going to 'rotate' the side, blood some youngsters, etc? It'll be an interesting team sheet.

adrian lord Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Should be a superb atmosphere. IMO you need about 5k oppo fans to make the place rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Looks like there is just a handle of normal tickets left - singles scattered around the ground - assuming we'll sell most of the £25 hospitality now as well this attendance will be well over 31k crowd, excellent reward for the clubs pricing policy.

The Cat Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Saw this earlier and got 3 together in the family stand. I presumed even at these prices that there would be plenty of tickets left. Fair play to both sets of fans and the club for the pricing strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 30 December, 2014 Share Posted 30 December, 2014 Hoping for a good game with near full strength sides, but I'm wondering whether Ipswich will really want the cup distraction whilst they're flying high in the league? Reckon this will be quite reminiscent of our cup tie vs Burnley last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 31 December, 2014 Share Posted 31 December, 2014 they also play derby after our game. maybe that will cloud their selection-vision Ipswich should have less need to field a below strength side as don't have game now until Sunday - weird why FL don't have games on New Year's Day as isn't it bumper crowds generally so seems odd to give it up as fixture day? Doesn't McCarthy have a history of fielding weak sides? I imagine Ipswich forum will have a thread with plenty posting they don't want distraction of the FA cup.

Cabrone Posted 31 December, 2014 Share Posted 31 December, 2014 Just shows that the cups are still be a big draw if the club get the prices right. As a fan I still take it seriously, it's our biggest (our only) chance of silverware and something we have a realistic chance of winning. Should be a cracking match, Burnley gave us a good game last year and Ipswich will be just as dangerous. Got to be on our best form to win this.

Just booked into The Saints Bar for 25 quid, still not a bad price for what should be a good open match, neither side will want a replay.
