[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Watford are selling hospitality tickets specifically for cov fans on the final day for £246

If true, greedy bastards.

Surely not if there's 7000+ of them

What flavour crisps? Hopefully pickled onion monster munch

Not sure General sale as you would if we could win the league that day get lots of people with lower points totals wanting to go but if we do get 7000 it will make it down the points total by quite a bit you'd think

Would be nice if we had rough ideas on numbers per category. I'm hoping it can get down to 600+ so I can bring my lad.

Im in Germany that weekend so thats one less person going!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I heard that Blackburn are going to restrict it to 2000. That'll put a dampener on things for some.

Why would they turn down a bucket load of e tra £££s? They didnt do it for PNE the other night.

This was a question I'd like to ask at the next Supporters Forum, @Sky Blue Pete . Or earlier if possible.

At the moment, it's nigh on impossible to sit with friends and family who have differing loyalty points. You can't risk waiting for tickets to fall into the lowest bracket of your group. So could we get a figure of how many are in each group, to make those decisions easier?

this is my question too @Sky Blue Pete . as i missed out on my own ticket earlier in the season a couple of times as i was waiting for my kids points so we could go together. i either go to games without the kids or potentially miss out waiting for their points. i got my bristol ticket earlier in the week. obviously would love to return it or void it and buy again so i can get more of the family there too but it can't be done so they will likely miss out.
any clues as to how many are sold would help with the risk taking.

Lots of changes expected next season things won’t change this season now

 

[Captain Dart]

I just hope they don't move it 'for TV'.

I'll be amazed if its not

Ok thanks Pete. It's not really a change, just publish how many people we have in each bracket.

 

[skyblue_55]

We will be given the same allocation as other clubs , that have a big fan base , so 7000 going up the M6 , will more than likely, because of our impending promotion, be 9000 & the party grows .
There’s plenty of room to move their small fan base, to go behind the other goal ……it’s our season !

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We get to very few away games as I work Friday night and my lad plays on a Saturday morning he has already said he doesn’t want to play that day as he wants a big away day.

 

[Dougin]

7000 wouldn’t be enough, could take over the home end next to away section easily

 

[CovInEssex]

hope we do it at the cbs tbh

 

[Jay88]

Where did you hear that? I can't see the Venky's turning down an extra 5,000 / 6,000 fans (especially when they're offering other clubs massive allocations). Blackburn are desperate for the money.

Think it was just a wind up. It'll be a big allocation.

Hope we do it, don’t care what game or where

Just seen Boro do this which would help

Yes that's exactly what I'd like to see. It really wouldnt be much effort needed to implement and would help fans plan with their friends and family. It would also stop the issues you see with overcrowding in sections where people want to sit with their mates but haven't got the right ticket etc.

They have 39,000 fans in the top 4 brackets, we need @Ipad Boro to explain how their priority sale brackets work

 

[edgy]

Yeah. On the face of it, that looks a terrible system. Only those in the top bracket will ever get away tickets. CLOSED SHOP!!!!

 

[SkyBlueChris]

Surely thats just the total fans with points above the particular threshold - so 16000 in the top 4 in total!

 

[Liquicon]

Yes it will be. 4000 have 170+, 7400 have 160+ and so on.

Their stadium is a similar capacity to ours! It's just running totals. 1600 have 140 points or above.

Lot of people sound nervous about getting a ticket for this. fwiw I had this penned down as possibly the big one so I contacted blackburn a few weeks back about getting a box for me and the lads. The boxes look shit so gonna blank it but the guy was very keen on opening up executive lounges for away fans only, even offering me free access to try and push it on socials, though Im not going to bother because id rather be out in the stands. in short I think there will be plenty available for us.

Hardest part will be getting a pre match drink because theres one pub and you need to be there early to get in, though I do remember them having a 'fan park' outside a few seasons back.

A local non league club have been doing a fan park recently, possibly Chorley?

They had one outside the ground few seasons back.

Yeah, opposite side and from what I could see they're completely enclosed (not a balcony or seats in front like ours) though I could be wrong. We all have good points so just going to go in with the atmosphere, lounge could be good though for anyone not wanting to risk waiting. Guy I spoke to is <[email protected]>

 

[skyblue025]

If we are getting 7400 tickets the starting points category will probably be the lowest of the season. I'm going for 1400 or 1500 as the start point and that's just too stop to many people being on at the same time.

 

[rob9872]

this is my question too @Sky Blue Pete . as i missed out on my own ticket earlier in the season a couple of times as i was waiting for my kids points so we could go together. i either go to games without the kids or potentially miss out waiting for their points. i got my bristol ticket earlier in the week. obviously would love to return it or void it and buy again so i can get more of the family there too but it can't be done so they will likely miss out.
any clues as to how many are sold would help with the risk taking.

This is where I sympathise more than other parts of saying points system isn't fair, as you cant buy your own because the kids then need to be bought with an adult ticket, so you might miss out or if you buy one and it reached their points bracket, they still dont get tge opportunity to build their points and the problem gets worse and the gap wider.
