Guest Grez Bez Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Luckily I think there will be loads who have been to games but not bought on an ID (Like me) Hope to god it goes to General sale but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just a guess but I reckon they'll be more with 100+ points than those with 10 to 50 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoryBell Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 its impossible to know, but a quick thought We had over 30k at Cardiff and if they all got client ID, then there is no chance of general sale. I'm sure Dunsby would confirm but I think in 66 our allocation for the cup final was (as it was for all finalist's clubs in those days) scandalously small. I think it was something shocking like 15000. On the plus side, I'm pleased to say that Dusty Springfield's pet chihuahua, Mao Tse Tung, Marvin Gaye, Fanny Craddock and the dead body of JFK all enjoyed their complimentary tickets as they staggered about pissed in the corporate hospitality suite from 1pm to 6pm. That's how it was, in the good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellbeaten-the-owl Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 We have sold 25k of our 39k which is about 63%. The remaining 2 days have 2 categories each day, compared to one full day for the previous. This could say these categories are smaller, not bigger. Sunday morning and Monday morning only give a priority of 5 hours for some people. This could also show that these categories are smaller. By same token as s we have only c15k ST holders must have sold 10k tickets today.... would make no sense to prioritise two categories on the Sunday before the match if these categories were small.. I'd guess c8k will go tomorrow leaving 6k for Monday / Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I have a suggestion..........Could we make a pole to see where people are at with their points? 100, 50, 20 and 10.......then a category for those waiting for general sale.This could give us a clue.

TrickyTrev Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just a guess but I reckon they'll be more with 100+ points than those with 10 to 50 points. As others have said, I'd hazard a guess that a lot of fans with 100+ points will already have membership. Financially it makes sense for them to do so.

fife_owl Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I don't fancy tickets making general sale now. Looks like me and my lad will miss out.â˜¹ï¸ ( No complaints - club are doing it 100% right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthemayor Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I can't see people with 100 points (or even 50) not having membership. I also would also doubt there would be many who have one single game? They would surely be POTG? Should imagine it makes general sale, no idea of the amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musn't Grumble Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Main reason for prioritising and staggering categories of fans is possibly to stop 30,000+ folks turning up at the Ticket Office on the first day of sale. Whilst the vast majority of tickets are being bought on-line, I was at the Ticket Office / Owls Megastore earlier this week and, despite the on-line sales, folks were still queuing up around the block.

Watford_owl Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I personally think it will make general sale. Having said that I have already got my ticket :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just a guess but I reckon they'll be more with 100+ points than those with 10 to 50 points. Based purely on people i know, I'd say 10 and 20 will be the most common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBob Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've got 90pts no st no membership but I went to Brighton???? & 2 boys with 20pts So if you want 3 tickets as you lead booker you will have to wait until they 'qualify'. monday AM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertOB Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ive got over 300 points and I always buy at least 2 tickets, sometimes 3. For me and my lads. I need 2 tickets for me and my youngest but all the points are in my name. I assume I can only buy one in the morning Anyone have any ideas which would be the best place to choose (if theres a choice) so I can get another close by when they go on general sale (if they do) I fear only one of us will be going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 How annoyed will u be if it makes general sale? What a bizarre thing to say. It won't annoy me at all. Regardless of whether it does or not there will be 38,600 Wednesday fans there. I can only assume you are saying this because I shared what a good source at the club told me. It's the Owlstalk way Crucify posters who we think knows something but doesn't say. Crucify posters who do tell what they know if it's not what we want to hear. I was told that it was very unlikely tickets would make general sale and I posted it to try and make sure the fans most worthy get tickets and don't give up their chance waiting for friends and family who may not get one. Whether the club source will be right or wrong I don't know. But more likely to be right than wrong I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) You've gone from topic to topic telling everyone there is no chance of it making general sale. Telling us about this person at the club you know. In reality you know nowt. But now you've changed your tune, general sale is now "unlikely". He actually said there was no chance.I was just paraphrasing. And you are right, I do know nowt. Apart from what the club source told me.

If people chose to ignore them then more fool them IMO. No one knows how many 100+ and 50+ IDs there are out there. I appreciate why some have waited, but to blindly say it will go to general sale is foolhardy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
