Any update on numbers sold?

i'll take that bet. it is going to be over £40 for some of the tickets, expensive transport on tv, to a ground we've played at before and will almost certainly lose.

Arsenal away £26 as we are a cat C game

when i was down there last weekend then hadn't only sold a few thousand for this saturday, hopefully there will be a big walk up and get over 10k otherwise it will look terrible.

I loved that saints history video and remember him well from that, he took on Eric day in a race for ten bob on his first day in training. RIP

i bought some tickets for my Dad at the weekend and they have hardly sold any according to the ticket office just a couple of thousand, bit of a shambles, clearly there is no demand for this tournament at the prices being charged. Probably be a big walk up on the day as people decide nearer the time, but i can't see there being more than 8000. shame really for those who do go as it won't feel like an event in a empty stadium

hahah block 14 of the chapel just 27 sold, if you like a bit of room to spread out that is where to head for!!

that isn't quite right, we haven't sold 827 in block 3, so if you take them off the total sold we are back under 20k . would be nice if we can beat the number Brighton have sold.

fulham will bring about 600, tickets about £35 cheapest, and on the tele.

will be a crowd of 25k for fulham home on a sunday lunchtime, can see them struggling to sell tickets for that.

i think it is more likely the club stick comp family tickets there to ensure it is sedated and no standing in front of the executive boxes

i reckon we'll sell 20k, on average will have 2800 away fans, and have 10k for sale most games, high ticket prices will mean most games won't be completely sold out.

what? i was hoping the purchase of an away shirt was going to earn me enough point to guarantee an Arsenal away ticket!

just got through on the 01271 number, what a f8cking joke this club is, they insisted the £2.50 phone booking fee would be applied, i pointed out there was NO option of going to the stadium, the site HAS NOT WORKED ALL DAY, so that is a unavoidable charge , no offer to waive it, just if you don't like it don't buy now and wait for the site to be fixed!!!!!!! bunch of c*nts.

take it no one had any luck online yet? the official twitter said site "very busy" but missing the point that no option to buy new season tickets when get through on there anyway

it's not working mate. another thing i notice is the recorded message for normal ticket purchases it says £1.50 per ticket booking fee online, and £2.50 PER TICKET booking fee on the phone, what an absolute joke rip off for the shlt service they provide. guess only when people refuse to pay it will things change.

that is kind of the point mate, we knew it would happen so that makes it worse really, i said earlier, bet it won't be a smooth process and something will go wrong, they are known for their cock ups!

once you select the option to "speak to an operator" it just cuts off. waste of a lunchbreak trying to get that done, will now have to try later on today

lucky we haven't had that stadium expansion then, God knows how we'd cope if we had more fans!

they should put up a message apologising for not being able to provide a decent service.

i wouldn't be bothered as i am sure there is far more supply than demand, but want to get a specific seat, annoying. no doubt they'll put a typical story on the official site about great rush for tickets on day one.

it never is there fault is it. last year they were sending out books with the wrong tickets in them. if they are going to charge a fortune for the product they should provide the service level to go with it

hahahah they are useless in pretty much every launch / operation they do

website seems to be timing out, anyone else getting that?

We should have kept Rangers, ditched Arsenal and invited Celtic instead to make it interesting.
