Capt. Pants 4,225 Posted August 16, 2021 Are ST holders going to be able to buy a ticket for their usual seat as per other seasons? If so they're cutting it a bit fine. Looks like the only way is to commit to buying your seat for every single home Cup game even though you're not sure if you can make it. Or have I understood that wrong?

They don't always open the upper tiers, so ST holders there have to wait for the ST sales to pass before they can buy from what's left. Need to factor that in too capt.

Myra Hawtree 124 Posted August 16, 2021 Looks as if season ticket holders have until Monday to claim their seat so not much time for casuals to apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t understand why they took so long to announce the details. Also why is it starting at 7 pm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted August 17, 2021 Grabbed my tickets this morning and saw that only row H available for non-season ticket holders. Feel it's a bit counterproductive giving GA/casuals only effectively a day to purchase what season ticket holders don't pick up, they should have given season ticket holders until end of the week or something but ah well, hopefully it'll be a good game of football anyway and a decent chance to see some of the new signings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,289 Posted August 17, 2021 Our stadium is on my jog/run route.....Is the ticket office open so I can pop in and pay to get my ST zapped so I'm able to attend the Cup game?.....Or is there only online ticket purchases?..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raver 0 Posted August 18, 2021 Has anyone been able to buy multiple tickets for this match? When I log in, it has my season ticket in the basket, but there is no option to add another. I have my father under friends and family, but it only gives me an option to change to him and buy my seat in his name, not add his season ticket as well?

I don't actually want to use my ST seat, as I'm hoping to go with a few friends, plus my father-in-law who's never been to a game before. I'm sure there are other ST holders who'd be happy to get a ticket anywhere/somewhere near their ST seat. Seems bizarre to reserve 20,000+ of the seats until the day before the game, as it's not like it's going to sell out or anything. I think this is just going to put more pressure on an already overburdened ticket office on Monday/Tuesday next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As i said previously, all ST seats are reserved until a certain date, then once the club know the ST holder doesn't want them, they can sell to others, inc other ST's who want to sit elsewhere. the window for doing this for this match is very short.

Yes, I know all that. I just thought it was weird to give ST holders until the day before the match. Surely Thursday or even Friday would be sufficient? Even if the ST holder misses the window to reserve 'their' seat, they'll still be able to get a ticket elsewhere in the ground with no trouble. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 2,624 Posted August 18, 2021 This has been a massive balls up it really has. Should have stuck with the tried and tested offer it to season ticket holders for two days, then members, then general public. So instead of selling a lot of tickets, which they would for the price they are offering and it being so close to the start of the season and a good test for new players who've not played a lot yet, they are making it exceedingly difficult to sell tickets - the majority of which are held until the day before the game! When there are a lot of folks who travel quite a distance and need to make arrangements it is rather pants. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted August 19, 2021 Looks like the club have listened... Season ticket holders now have until midnight on Thursday, August 19 to reserve and purchase their season ticket seat for this fixture. Season ticket holders should be aware that this deadline has been brought forward following the previously communicated deadline of 9am on Monday, August 23. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 219 Posted August 20, 2021 Tickets now on General Sale to all parts of the grounds. Having criticized the club for the prices for casual tickets for the Premier League games (£48 is ridiculous quite frankly for any normal league game), it's important to recognize when the club get it right the other way round. £10 for an adult ticket, £1 for kids, means a family of 4 can get a decent nights entertainment for less than half the price of 1 x adult ticket for a normal league game (£48 vs. £22). Should be a good chance to see some of the new signings (Tzolis) against a decent standard of opposition. Well done Norwich. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
