mrgund Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 They're DEFFO queueing tonight overnight mate There's about 10000/12000 wanting tickets for this - they'll fly out Expect a queue to start camping from 10pm onwards Oh jeez. This could be a nightmare if that is the case. What is going to happen if 10000+ people all log onto the online ticket site and try and buy a ticket at 9am? If the server crashes will none of them be able to buy an online ticket? Will all the tickets then go to all those people waiting outside? Either way there is going to be some unhappy fans. Which ones will it be though? The online crew or the queueing folks? Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Tbh i think 6,000 will be enough to satisfy most who want tickets myself. :tango: You have GOT to be joking.... There's double that who would buy them NOW if they were on sale.. This is gonna be first come first served MASSIVE demand... Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUAOwl Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 38,000 x about £25 (that being an average as the Kop is a bit cheaper and South more expensive= £950,000. Take into account all of the other money that will be spent (in the shop etc) and the club will make a seven figure sum from a single game. Back to maths class, boyo. Nearly half of those are season ticket holders who already paid a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcheeks Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 anybody know what the highest attendance has been this season in the championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great outcome for the club financially, however important to remember: those seven figures are revenue... not profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Back to maths class, boyo. Nearly half of those are season ticket holders who already paid a year ago. Fair enough, forgot about that. Obviously there are kids and students who pay less as well, but then there are hospitality packages which cost far, far more. Minus the 13,000 ST from the total (which is what i think we sold in the end) leaves you with £625,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_SWFC Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 and for the parking issue a lot of people won't even be taking there cars, loads of posters getting tram down or whatever so they can have a wee wee up afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxondale Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 anybody know what the highest attendance has been this season in the championship? 35,000 at West Ham against Hull on Saturday was the highest I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for Saturday to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willyowl Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Unless the club change policy again, like they did for Huddersfield tickets, and once there are limited tickets left, only sell them to those in the queue... But who knows what they will do until it's sold out? I just hope everyone who really wants one gets one (although if anyone really wanted one that badly they would have bought one last week...). This is the only thing that's making me a little less uneasy about the online and phone sales when fans are queuing. The Brentford fiasco was poorly handled, but at least "most" fans have got the tickets that they wanted already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Back to maths class, boyo. Nearly half of those are season ticket holders who already paid a year ago. Around 12,000 season tickets is nearly half of 38,000? Back to maths class, boyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Great outcome for the club financially, however important to remember: those seven figures are revenue... not profit Yeah, of course there are a whole load of outgoings (VAT on the ticket revenue being by far the largest i guess) not to mention the costs of actually staging the game. I was more just trying to put things into perspective (Owlstalk snigger) as to how MASSIVE we can be- most teams in this league have turnovers of £3-8 million per annum.

BIG D Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 35,000 at West Ham against Hull on Saturday was the highest I believe. Yep it was. Only 9 Premier League teams have had higher gates than 38000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
