Commonsense 798 Posted July 18, 2022 The ticketing page is now saying sold out. I really hope this indicates a great turnout, despite the distance and the rail strike, and isn’t because the club have asked for a reduced allocation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essex canary 601 Posted July 18, 2022 Pity though typical that they don't quote the number of tickets sold in the message. The secret society continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

infoman 2 Posted July 19, 2022 Did not even see the intitial allocation of tickets. I presume it was a maximum of 2,400. Would anyone have any indication of the price of the tickets? or for those who have already bought tickets could they supply details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,577 Posted July 19, 2022 I'm sure the club took a reduced allocation, and I'd say the right decision on this occasion. Maybe 1200? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,882 Posted July 19, 2022 It would seem entirely sensible all things considered to take a reduced allocation. In the current climate I'm amazed we even managed to sell that many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep sometimes raises some genuine points but they get lost easily due to his irrational hatred of everything board / director / shareholder level because of his insanely ridiculous 'for life' problem. To then complain about the secrecy of not saying how many tickets are sold is bizarre. When I buy a ticket for a gig they don't tell me how many have been sold! They might reveal the amount travelling before the fixture anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My take is they went down to general sale before selling out and we have now asked for a further allocation which surely is the right approach ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially as we were told that ticketing does not all have to be prepaid as it was in the premier league. I worry that our ticket office tend to underestimate the enthusiasm of the fan base at times. On other matters it is becoming tiresome that almost every thread is hijacked by Essex moaning and then by people calling him out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new mix to the equation for consideration on what allocation to request is the cost of living crisis especially with regard to fuel expenditure. It would be foolhardy to suggest it will not have somesort of impact on away followings for all clubs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My take is they went down to general sale before selling out and we have now asked for a further allocation which surely is the right approach ? It makes perfect sense! I can understand the concerns of some who were let down last season because of the way the club tried to save money but this seems the sensible and logical way of doing things.
