sotonjoe Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 I was a little disappointed to learn that we'd only sold approx 16k tickets for Palace as of about midday today. Perhaps I'm a little too optimistic but hopefully things will pick up the pace a bit as the week goes on? What with Watford, Wolves and Palace in quick succession, we're going to have a clearer picture of our survival chances this time next week.

saints_is_the_south Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 Considering it's only Monday I'd say 16k isn't too bad at this stage. We'd only sold 18.5k for Charlton on Weds last week! I'd expect that number to rise very quickly should we get a win tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints67 Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 Beat Watford and spank Wolves on Sky Sports and there is bound to be renewed interest. Fingers crossed we can do both of the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMike Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 im going to be taking my 4 kids so that'll be 5 extra onto the latest figures :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie2008 Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 There is no ticket information displayed on the OS for this game. Presumably, people don't know whether or not the tickets are discounted. I am certainly in the dark in this respect. Does anyone know the rates? I am sure a repeat of something similar to last Sat. would increase sales.

sotonjoe Posted 6 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 April, 2009 I thought there was ticket info on the os. It's normal prices except kids for a quid. With so many games in quick succession, and a sellout probably out of the question, I expect many people will want to wait and see how we do in the next two games before parting with their cash. It's a shame though ... I really hope we can keep up the approx 25k attendances for these last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 6 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 April, 2009 does that included the palace fans or home only because i suspect palace will have a couple of thousand at least on a bank holiday I'm not sure, I just asked "how many have we sold". I'd hope that the figures mentioned are always home fans only numbers but we've no way of knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever a red and white Posted 6 April, 2009 Share Posted 6 April, 2009 i need to get my tickets pronto desperate for block 42 seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 6 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 6 April, 2009 As usual, the popular areas of the ground are filling up fast. I was trying to buy three adjacent seats and I couldn't get anything in blocks 7 or 31 (halfway line). I expect season ticket holders snap up these seats though.

stevegrant Posted 7 April, 2009 Share Posted 7 April, 2009 I know people think the Charlton attendence was good and loads of fans have come back, but am I the only one who is disappointing with the figures? Charlton was a 15 quid game, same as Forest, which got near the same crowd. Yet this time, we had no Lowe, and a club to save. Yet just a few hundred more came along. Where is everyone? Worth bearing in mind that Forest brought about 2500 down for that game whereas I suspect Charlton barely had 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 7 April, 2009 Share Posted 7 April, 2009 Can't help thinking that the charlton attendance was boosted by the £15 tickets as much as by administration etc. And anyone who was an irregular attender but who came to that game is unlikely to have been inspired and excited enough to start attending all games again! These next 2 home games are a real test of how good our support is and how strong our fan base. If we get 25k+ regardless of the away results and any football league decision, that should send a good signal to a potential buyer, though 32k would have been better. 20-25k would be so-so. Anything less than 20k would be poor IMO. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voteforpedro Posted 7 April, 2009 Share Posted 7 April, 2009 I suppose so. But still, there's either people who went to the Forest game, or people who stayed away due to Lowe, STILL staying away. And of course, there are many who attended the last game of last season and many premiership games not attending. In our current circumstance, and given that these people must have had some affiliation with the club at some stage, why aren't they buying tickets now? I know it's not cheap but really it's just 50 quid for two home games until August. :smt102 still, its cheaper than when we were int he premiership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be results based now. Yet if we won the next 2 and got no points deduction, the Palace game would sell out. We should sell it out regardless. It's either our second last chance to show why we're a great club that deserves investment, or our second last chance to see our club. What are people waiting for? Had this debate on another thread. I was saying the same as you but the reason given that the Forest game was so well supported was because it guaranteed a ticket for the Man Yoo game. It appeared to many, that the Man Yoo game was far more attractive, rather than trying to save our club from oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the figures are disapointing as well. Under the circumstances I would have hoped that people would have bought tickets for all three matches when purchasing Charlton tickets.
