Perhaps tech not sold out we’ve just sold out the section down the side - I believe they don’t open the stand behind he goal unless they get a big club in a cup game.

So will no more tickets be made available then ?

Sorry to be pedantic but why not try calling the ticket office tomorrow?  They are more likely to know than posters on here?

i will be surprised if they don't open behind the goal, it said initial allocation and with still 2 weeks till the match i'm sure we would sell at least another 500, a lot of money to turn down

I don’t have one yet, I don’t think any of our lot do, but we are expecting to be going.

If you look on their website they are selling behind the goal to home fans so not sure if more tickets will be released,if it's pay on the day it goes up to £25

Behind the goal is available but only if we think we can sell another 700. At present the lower tier doesn’t have any seats in

Title: Re: Is bradford sold out

Title: Re: Is bradford sold out

Not got our tickets yet and need at least ten.
I'll be really disappointed if we have a to go in the home end.
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: Alexdrfc on July 20, 2022, 10:21:07 pm
I bought one today and was told it had nearly sold out and they didn’t know if they were getting any more.
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: DearneValleyRover on July 20, 2022, 10:53:04 pm
The stand behind the goal is not on sale to the home fans. It’s up to the Club to ask for more but they need to ask for 700 minimum, if you haven’t got one then bombard the club so they do
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: idler on July 21, 2022, 12:05:17 am
I’ll be on the phone tomorrow Martin.
Don’t want to be with the home fans for this one if we can help it.

EFL rules say 2000 or 10% of capacity if less than 2000, should be made available to away supporters.

Well ticket office have said only a further 250 or so have been allocated.

That’s ridiculous from Bradford - we’d easy sell the 2k

Post by: rich1471 on July 21, 2022, 09:12:56 am
I went last week and tried to get 3 tickets together and could not get them so had  to buy them with a single ticket on a different row
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: RoversAlias on July 21, 2022, 09:32:11 am
One for the SLO or Shadow Board to look at perhaps? No reason not to give us more tickets with over a week until the game.

I'm glad I went and bought mine the other night when people on here were saying there weren't many left.

6 of us just secured our tickets thanks to the extra allocation released this morning.

Just need to sort work out now! Was meant to work until 4pm
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: Arsenal Of The North on July 21, 2022, 09:42:38 am
Also ticket office just confirmed we haven’t sold over 1000 tickets for a single away game for the last 5 years! I would imagine once you request additional allocation, that comes out of our clubs money so they wouldn’t want to waste money by requesting tickets they don’t think they would sell.

Only 1,432 away fans when all sold. Pretty poor allocation for a stadium that size.

I mean that's clearly not true given the amount of local games we've had, so I'm not sure why they'd say that?

Not sure guys, maybe it was a reference to first game of the seasons, I don’t know, maybe they got the figures wrong, if anyone really wants to find the answer I would suggest giving the ticket office a call to find out what they meant.
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: Mustapha-Dump on July 21, 2022, 10:38:49 am
I’ve just bought three online in a flash, there was 160 left after my purchase, would advise people get moving as I imagine this is the full allocation.
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: karldew on July 21, 2022, 11:42:05 am
Last 100 tickets left, for anyone needing one I’d hurry up.

I expect fans who have been on nights/been at work this morning to be upset later. They probably don’t know more tickets are available, and not had the chance to buy.
Title: Re: Is bradford sold out
Post by: bpoolrover on July 21, 2022, 01:21:26 pm

Must of got more allocated as availability has gone up to 535. Panic over, everyone who wants to be there should easily manage now.

Nice to see after a very poor season too!

It's a ten or 15 minute walk away. Part of it uphill. A taxi would get you there in 5.
A great selection of beers but nothing there for the younger end.

No point in me being there then, Idler, if there's nothing there for the younger end.

It sounds like BB and Wolfie will be OK there though.

A great pub though if you like hand pulled beer.
