Agreed I really hope we can fill it, tough ask but would be great.  Up to us all to fill the place.

Are we able to tell the club to release season ticket seats for those who aren't going? I've two kids seats that won't be purchased for example.

Does anyone know if your season ticket seat is reserved for you?

It could be an EFL stipulation in these games

Don’t think it is, 65+ is already there for non season ticket holders buying a ticket for a match, 60+ season ticket holders got a match ticket for other competitions for 60+ prices I believe, nothing stated on this game though

Ok but both legs are showing 65+ for seniors at Crewe and at Doncaster

Maybe it's a reciprocal thing

If they charge at 65 so should we

"strong possibility most sold before general sale".

If Crewe are getting 1,600 doesn't that leave c12,000 or so for home fans ?

‘Most’ is 50% plus one I suppose!

It was the same for Everton which the current 60 to 64 season members got the lower rate.

Either way, I'm happy to pay the extra £5 if I have to.

Would becoming a season ticket holder for 24/25 help in getting tickets earlier? Or is this open to this seasons sth's only?

Anyone know how many season ticket holders we have this year?

I’m exiled and only been to a couple of games this year, but kicking myself now for not getting the membership. I don’t mind paying for a membership for it now, but need an additional 2 tickets for my son and uncle.

Although it will be a large crowd, I doubt it will sell out

On the DRFC website it states that buying a membership would be an advantage for getting a ticket.

That was my take on it. It mentions supporter membership & lottery, but not a ST. I've missed the football bug and adrenaline of a live match. Either way I'd like to get along a lot more next year. Thanks.

Given they are thinking of opening part of the north stand to home fans if it’s required. I don’t think anyone will not be able to get a ticket if they want one.

Won't sell out it's on sky. People hard up will save their money and watch it on Tele. Most people don't pay for sky either they'll be watching on firesticks too. I think we'll get 9k home fans barring a disaster result Monday

We won’t get less home fans than the barrow game

I hope we get more home fans than the Barrow game otherwise the stadium will look at bit empty if there’s no one in the North stand!

I think people are underestimating the interest this run has created. People in the area are starting to talk about the club again, kids are getting engaged. For example, I’ve already got 4 people asking me if I can buy them the spare ticket I get with my season pass for this match. I’m sure many other ST holders have had similar requests

This is good to hear. The take up v Barrow was encouraging but it's hard to judge how much wider interest will be converted in to ticket sales, as said with it being on Sky.

I was surprised to see the attendance v Charlton was only just over 11k with 3,200 from Charlton.

As suggested though, we should be able to accommodate up to at least 12,000 home fans, which is extremely rare!

Once again, providing it's still a competitive tie, it will be a great atmosphere.

Interesting to see what crowd there will be for this . Consider there was 13081 for the Southend game . And they brought a full north stand allocation .
Title: Re: Crewe 2nd leg
Post by: DRFCSouth on May 01, 2024, 12:53:24 pm
If you buy a ST for next year it has no relevance in priority for buying the 2nd leg home tickets, apart from being able to buy from Saturday onwards.

Which is probably fair to those that have endured the first half of the season.

Crewe fan in peace here - we've got a car park space booked on Car Park 3 with yourparkingspace (as advised by the Donny ticket office). For anyone that's booked with them before, the email says I need to go to reception to validate my booking reference and vehicle registration. Where is that?

Congratulations on the amazing run and playoff spot by the way! Hoping for some good games and best of luck to whoever ends up at Wembley!

They didn't bring a full north stand. They brought less than 2500.

As for season ticket holders I know, including myself. Almost everyone is buying an extra ticket due to requests and the demand.

For the comment on no more than 9000 home fans. That is utter nonsense. The home fans will sell out.

To clear up those who don't read the clubs website, the Crewe fans WILL be located in one half of the north stand. The east stand is fully allocated to home fans!

Excuse my lack of commense but if I purchase an extra ticket where would it be allocated to west,south,or East?
Title: Re: Crewe 2nd leg

Anywhere of your choice for seats available for sale? So all 4 stands.

JPT trophy northern semi 2nd leg v Crewe in 2007 gate was 12.561

Will we exceed that gate for this play off semi 2nd leg?

Personally I think we might just.
Crewe may only bring their initial allocation of 1589 so if that’s the case I think getting over 13.000 might be a tough ask.

We will see. It will be brilliant to see a packed out ECO on a Friday night.
Let’s hope we get a good result in the away leg and demand is massive for the home leg.
