RichieB Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Over the last 10 years or so Iv seen that away end completely full (or thereabouts), I remember pigs filling it, I have no idea why we can't sell them all now all of a sudden. You only have to go back to 2012 to see it full, there was 36k there iirc when we played the pigs in the 'game they could afford to lose'. Was only the corner not sold.

We have been allocated approximately 3,300 tickets in the West Stand Upper Tier and approximately 1,400 tickets in the West Stand Lower Tier.

owl-zat Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Saying on Arsenal os that decision on further ticket allocation will be announced on Tues 13th now. Could be waiting to see how ticket sales go on Monday when they go on general sale. I cringe when people post things like 'We'll sell out easy' when games like this come along and then often we don't even get 30,000 but it does seem Wednesday are holding back allocating the lower tier to Arsenal and have been for over a week now so as you say the only viable reason is that they are waiting to see how general sale goes on Monday. When someone asked about sales earlier this week Wednesday tweeted that over 12,000 had already been sold so you can probably add a few more thousand on top of that since Tuesday when this was announced so with around 14,000 season ticket holders and 3,000 members I'd say around 80% of these have purchased tickets already.

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 So, the club are having to remind ST holders on the OS that they have just a little time left to get there Arsenil tickets (see OS), obviously that's what the clamour is and why we aint givin' the west end away ! If the ST's avn't taking up their full allocation already what chance do we mere mortals really have ? Would seem the club ticket pricing numpty has been caught out again !

vulva Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Time to move to a purpose built stadium fit for a progressive football club in the 21st century. This. It's time to bin the emotional nonsense and move with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are around 18,000 season ricket holders and members in total and 4 days ago the club reported that 2/3rds of these had already taken up the option of purchasing tickets with 6 days left before general sale so hardly a pricing failure is it?

BIG D Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The captain is coming out with some right cobblers recently. He'll be saying the club are deliberately driving the Arsenal fans into the home stands next to get more money out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus weren't season ticket holders allowed to buy an extra ticket? Without doubt we're going to get a big attendance and are going to make some serious money out of this tie.

I remember that, every third or fourth row wasn't used, something to do with safety of fans when they know they'll be stood throughout game.

Mountain Owl Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 True but there was no segregation issues that day There,s no segregation issues in the upper tier anyway which holds over 4,000, why only sell two thirds of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't sell the first two rows so that's around 300 straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
