Swansea allocation

[TBM]

So have Swansea also had their allocation upped? Ours is now 39,396 which is a whopping 20 more than their initial allocation.

...which we wont sell

[M Brook]

Which we have sold. Apparently.

Just saw a link to this on the swansea version of HNA?

http://www.livefootballtickets.com/cham ... -9128.html

This site had tickets 'for sale' before our Cardiff game

Why not? They knew they were in the final 24 hours before we did.

Congratulations at missing the point

All this debate over 374 seats when both sides have over 39,000 seats?

Get over it.

I think its all a bit tongue in cheek mate................

Wooooooooooooooooooosh @ you

So it took them a day longer than us to sell out (if they manage to move the last 80 today)

A moral victory in the bag...

I am totally OUTRAGED by this on several counts.

1. Why are Swansea allowed about 1,000 more tickets than us? 300 more was bad enough but this is a slap in the face - since we joined the football league in 1920 we have been there loyally for all but two years, 89 years in all and this is how we are repaid?

2. Why were this many tickets reserved for corporates/ the football leagues and not sold to fans in the first place?

3. If these tickets were reserved for corporates/ the football leagues but didn't sell is it the case that this is an unattractive final? What an insult.

One Swansea fan is claiming their allocation is now 41,300 but I can find no proof of it being that high.

1. Because not being located in a particularly affluent area, they have sold fewer hospitality packages than Reading have, so more tickets are available for general sale. We have more corporate customers than Swansea so we have fewer unsold to them.

2. On the scale of things it's hardly any - the Championship play-off final has larger allocations for fans than just about any cup final.

3. It's not the FL, it's the club(s) that didn't sell them.

You're looking at it the wrong way - the total number of Reading & Swansea supporters s unchanged from what it always is - all that has changed is the number being sold as part of hospitality packages compared with the number being sold on general sale. And if RFC hadn't been so attractive to corporate customer there'd have been more made available to Reading fans.

So take this whole thing as Swansea not being good at selling or attractive to corporates if it makes you happier.

That's a far too well reasoned response for this board, Svlad. More outrage please.

I don't think it is a case of seats being reserved in that way. If I remember correctly there are 17,000 seats "owned" by debenture holders. I assume that the extra tickets come about by some of those indicating they do not want them on Monday and offering them for resale

[Super Royals]

We now have over 40,000 tickets...

You are in the same block as me I think, so just make sure it is my wife's view that you are blocking and not mine.
