You do know its against the law to sell tickets for more than their face value don''t you?

You risk a ban.

What a sad little t. wat you are!

Hope that all the tickets are snapped up before you get your grubby little hands on them.  Buying tickets to sell for a profit at your own fellow fans expense... you should be ashamed! [:$]

I couldn''t agree more Smudger. If that''s what you''re doing Pete, I hope they tear up your season ticket and give the seat to someone else.

Right....trying to help fellow Norwich fans out who don''t pay to be members by possibly taking away tickets from those who do pay to be members. I realise it''s annoying for Delia''s Devonshire Dirtbox but maybe they''ll learn to be more loyal and buy a membership or even super membership to avoid being in this position again.

[AndyCanary 0]

So let me get this straight because I think I get it...You''re going to buy excess tickets with the intention of selling them to Norwich fans just in case some Norwich fans buy them first.

Actually, I think you''ll find that the confusion as to your intentions has arisen due to your ambiguous post.

Also, I think you''ll find that reselling football tickets without the permission of original seller is illegal in this country regardless of the price so i would pipe down if I were you. Furthmore, don''t you think that it''s a bit unfair on other supporters that are members to meddle in the ticketing process? Yes, I appreciate you''re helping out a fellow Pinkun poster, but that is likely to be at the expense of another City fan. The ticketing policy is there for a reason and it''s inevitable that some people will be left disappointed.

[/quote]My apologies to Pete if that is what he is doing then that is fair enough.  I am pretty sure that unless you know a season ticket holder who is able to buy tickets for you, or you are a member then you are very unlikely to see a ticket for this game.I also take Simon OTBC''s point about ticketing policies being there for a reason and Pete''s initial post being a bit ambiguous.  Saying that it is obvious that many supporters are going to look to bend the rules for such a match.  It comes down more to having the right contacts than ticketing policies when tickets are in such short supply and always has done.

That is life in general I think, not just in relation to ticketing policies!

I agree that it''s inevitably going to happen, I just know that if I were someone who missed out on a ticket as a result I''d be a little annoyed.

[/quote]You make some valid points but I think ground expansion has already been more than adequately covered, we can''t afford to do it until we are established in the Prem, or maybe I guess if we get some investment that is keen to speculate to accumulate. I think that even if we had the capacity without the lure of Premiership teams we would not fill a 35,000 seater every game, and empty seats cost money. I think if we were to expand today, and get promoted this season you would see crowds of about 25k for most games and maybe 28 or 29k for the bigger ones. So if you expand now, for crowds in the Championship then 30k capacity would be appropriate, but too small for the Prem, take it to 35k now and you''re going to have put up with a lot of empty seats before we get to the Prem, which is of course not a certainty.

Despite the clubs financial woes increasing the ground is something they should be able to get cash to do easily. It''s an investment in the club and created return revenue. Question is would the money received from ticket sales pay the loan repayments for the building work?

[gary 0]

the club are £ 23 in debt for gods sake - they won;t be increasing capacity until the finances improve somewhat - they have 24,000 every week , 20.000 season tickets in place the majority renewing for next season , so lets get the finances in order first - can;t see 30.000 is necessary for League 1 or the championship

Maybe a compromise but it really isn''t practical doing the building work twice. I honestly don''t think we would get 40k ever, think about the population we have here in Norfolk, and how many away fans would be put off by the traveling nightmare getting here. How many clubs are there in the Championship only filling half their stadium? Remember, if you have borrowed money to expand then every seat you fail to fill is money lost.

[DDD In The Fine City 1]

Cheers Pete, would be really great if you could sort them, would certainly make my Dads year. Does anyone know when away tickets go on sale to Leeds fans cos if all else fails i''ll be trying to get in there with them?

[Canary Man of Kent 0]

 

I don''t know when they go on sale, but I understand that all Leeds aways games are massively oversubscribed and done on a priority system, so I wouldn''t hold out too much hope on that front.

[e10_yellow 0]

The Leeds fans'' allocation is sold out already, I think they had an application scheme which was well oversubscribed.

I think that even if we had the capacity without the lure of Premiership teams we would not fill a 35,000 seater every game, and empty seats cost money. I think if we were to expand today, and get promoted this season you would see crowds of about 25k for most games and maybe 28 or 29k for the bigger ones. So if you expand now, for crowds in the Championship then 30k capacity would be appropriate, but too small for the Prem, take it to 35k now and you''re going to have put up with a lot of empty seats before we get to the Prem, which is of course not a certainty.[/quote]I certainly agree that we should be aiming to increase to a 30,000 capacity as soon as is possible.  I think that we could sell that most weeks in the Championship, let us not forget that the higher up the football ladder you go an increase in away fans and the revenue that they bring with them in to the City is also possible.Would 35,000 be your limit for increasing capacity?  Because I think we should be aiming at the 40,000 mark if we were trying to establish ourselves in the Prem.  I think we could fill 40,000 most weeks in the Prem if we had a ground big enough.  If we were then to drop out of the Prem at some stage then this could fall down to the 25k to 30k mark again though for the majority of games.[/quote]

One of the rare occasions when I totally agree with your sentiments Smudger!

I got laughed at years ago for saying the club should be looking to increase Carrow Road to as near to 40,000 as they can but in recent times seeing us getting 25500 against mighty Hartlepool makes anyone realise the huge potential fanbase the club has!

As long as the club don''t ever relocate to an out of City idendikit stadium on a retail park because I think that would put many fans off!

Carrow Roads the best location - walking distance from the City centre, train station down the road and not far from the Norwich Southern bypass and plenty of drinking and eating holes nearby!

35,000(Y) Im loving the thought of that ! Aslong as were never based at a Round stadium i would happily take a restriction of 10,000 at CR !

"Cheers Pete, would be really great if you could sort them, would certainly make my Dads year. Does anyone know when away tickets go on sale to Leeds fans cos if all else fails i''ll be trying to get in there with them?"

no chance mate,

 

all our members sell out our away allocation.

 

I hear we''ve got a few trying to get in your end!

You have more chance of Nelson getting his eye back and thats not Mickey.

First things first, we have a lot of season tickets, and then the rest our members, we don''t often sell tickets on the day as they are always sold out.

I think you should get some of your away fans family to buy tickets for Elland Road, looks like you need them.

Our allocation,as ever, has sold out.
