    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    Ah ok, block 12 on one side or block 6 on the other. Both of those need to be accessed via South Stand turnstiles, so guessing they won't allow that at short notice.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    We've had both sets of supporters in the South Stand for Gillingham, Crewe, Boro and Accrington, each with a different segregation point, plus we sold season tickets in there one season. Not sure what the issue is tbh.

    Not sure what you mean Pete! There's only one block 5 and it's sold out. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding..

    I'm fully aware of phone masts, I have one outside of my house 😆, I was just using a silly scenario to illustrate a point. That said though, isn't direct phone to satellite soon to be a thing? Regardless, next time I'll expand on the daft doomsday scenario and describe the solar storm taking...

    I know what you were trying to say, but I'm not sure it makes any difference. If I order an away ticket online, that still has to be processed. They need to collect the receipt from the printer, find the specific allocated seat from what I imagine is a pre-printed pile, put it in an envelope...

    Not sure that makes sense. Those going to the ticket office aren't being given free tickets either.

    Bristol City and QPR maybe? Hull the 1st allocation sold on day 1 and additional allocation sold the following morning iirc. Wimbledon went in one day too. But yes, hasn't been that difficult this season.

    Empty seats

    But as has been stated, this is exactly the same as the current experience, everyone stands anyway. Anyone who doesn't want to will be moving their ST anyway, regardless of whether they install safe standing or not. The real issue is the safe standing area is not big enough to accommodate all...

    Yep, and they only charge under 16s a tenner

    SBA is still £20 for most games, although you have to book on early.

    Re buying a half season ticket, it is true that on order to secure a seat it needs to be available for every game until the end of the season. As Swansea and Leicester are basically sold out, it means half STs are basically unavailable at the moment. What the ticket really ought to do is sell...

    It is still a shitty attitude, no matter how you dress it up. My old man, who has all sorts of practical skills I don't, really struggles with it. I have tried to sit with him many times but he cannot grasp it and it is the source of a huge amount of frustration for him. The team I run at work...

    And yet all those youngsters with a sneering sense of superiority because they can use a smartphone (despite having no real idea how it works) would have no clue how to cook a nutritious meal, bleed a radiator, fix a door or change a wheel. Progress. I do wonder what would happen if a solar...

    And what about the freedom to choose? It's not on them at all, it's on everyone else to ensure we can accommodate people who make different choices and have a society that respects how people choose to live their lives. We can't accommodate everyone's wishes, we have to push forward and...

    Didn't strike me as a Thatcherite 😂 The lines get blurred when you're offering a service. Should you cancel a bus service between two villages because it is not profitable? Or does a developed, 1st world nation work to ensure that service is maintained? Even privatised businesses offering...

    I agree with the last paragraph 100%, just some seem to be suggesting we work to close the option off completely. I just hear these arguments all the time when village post offices close, banks close local branches, putting people out of work. Many elderly people find the modern world pretty...

    It'll happen for Wednesday, everyone I know planning their day out for that Tbf, should make a decent racket. I thought Sunderland atmosphere was excellent considering the numbers. Also expect numbers for Boro might grow a bit, a few mates have decided to go to today. Pay on the gate will help...

    That doesn't address the point. I am asking how do you that if they don't have one, and many don't. You could just shut them out and say tough? Every venue, from theatres to arenas to ice rinks etc. have a physical box office. It's good business. If you're in the business of selling tickets you...

    How do you sell a ticket to a 14 year old that has no visa card? How do you distribute away tickets when the postal deadline has gone (not everyone wants to travel and risk collecting from the home ticket office), unless you can solve these problems you will always need manned ticket office...
