Unless I'm reading the details wrong on the OS, they mention the prices for the North, East and Lower West stands, but not the South stand. Surely you can only buy match tickets in the South stand, or are there now seats available in the North, East and West?

I dunno.

However, I'm wondering whether they have improved the online ticketing system. i.e. can we choose the row we want to sit in? :roll:

I guess the fact that they have been accepting season-ticket applications from absolutely anyone who has ever heard of the club suggests that we have not sold out the other three stands. If that's the case, then maybe they'll just sell these stands first, and see what the take up is by our fans and the away fans, to see to whom they will open the other half of the south stand at a later date.

I doubt they'll give the away team the whole of the South stand. I'm sure I read that they were removing the barriers seperating the South and West stands and installing seats in the 'no mans' land', to create more seats for home fans.

I guess its just a mistake, but its a strange mistake to make.

They will have to for cup games, no?

That's what I was thinking when they announced this. I guess they'll find a way around it.

The FA In all matches preceding the Semi-Finals, the Visiting Club shall have the right to claim up to 15% of all accommodation for which tickets are issued providing these tickets are in a fully segregated area


So in other words we can still get away with just giving them the standard segregation

Will the tickets all sell out on the Sunday (ie to people with more than 100 loyalty points) or will they make it to general sale do we think?

If we can't sell out to people with over 100 royalty points, then this doesn't bode well for the rest of the season imho.

Sure it does. To get 100+ royalty points without a season ticket requires a fair amount of games. My friend has been to as many home games as he could get to, and only has 80 points.

There is no way we will sell out for Wigan.

I'm not sure how many away allocations we will fill.

Havent joined Midland Royals this year as the club has required that we say now which tickets we want for the rest of the season. Having just bought a house which needs a new kitchen etc there is no way I can say which games I can go to in 6 months time.

My brother is an Evertonian and he seems to think that getting tickets shouldnt really be that hard. He got a ticket for Everton at Old Trafford for a saturday game that wasnt on sky. Also been to likes of Newcastle, Bolton, Blackburn without needing any membership card and/or loyalty points. And to be fair, Everton's away following is better than ours.

Will be interesting to see how many away games we sell out this season.

It wont be as many sell outs as people would think, Boro and Newcastle are one long way away, and the high number of trips to London will make folk pick and choose, was a good day out, but if 2 or three trips in close succession then less attractive.

Who really cares though, barely 30 years ago few travelled to away games.

Will the boro tickets sell out quickly? My uncle i think has a few royalty points but not many so do you think there is a chance of getting at least 2 tickets?

that's without a season ticket THIS season, there will be some who have previously had a season ticket and more points than that who aren't able to afford a season ticket this year. I would have thought the majority of RFC fans have over 100 points in total.

well i bloody well hope they have sold out....otherwise i will be very annoyed as the ticket office advised me that it is unlikely my son will get a season ticket as he doesnt have any Royalty Points.....he went free alot last season....now he has to pay which is fine...but i bet the club have lost his 2 application forms
