Title: away tickets why....
Post by: Tiddysdad on October 12, 2013, 11:30:37 am
do i have to wait until the 21st to buy tickets for the Middlesbrough game?
I'm a season ticket holder but want to take my dad with me. But because he's not a season ticket holder I'm having to wait to get seats together.
I can understand limiting the tickets if it was at Wembley but the games on Sky for goodness sake.

I wouldn't worry too much on this occasion.  There must be a large away section there, even if we only get a low-ish initial allocation.

I understand the frustration with wanting to get tickets at the same time, but that's a side effect of having to offer some advantages to ST holders.

Do we sell away tickets sometimes where a ST holder can buy more than one ticket at a time...

At their last home game there were more than 20,000 empty seats!  You'll have no problem getting a ticket.

Wait until they go on general sale. They won't sell out.

It's not allocated seating anyway, why all the fuss ?

However, the last time they did this offer (Last season vs Sheffield Wednesday) they brought in a crowd of 28,000. Still about 6k under capacity but they do draw people in with these offers at Boro.

there may be a surprising attendance at this game. despite it being on sky, its a night match and v cheap.

it wont sell out though.

I wasn't sure if I was going to go but I think I will, 12 quid's a good price and it's not that far.
