Not coming up on the website when I click "Home Tickets." The only tickets showing are for the Liverpool charity match.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing or has anybody been able to buy tickets yet?
-
Same problem, only the Eve Trust Legends match available.
-
Click DRFC in the top menu bar, then click 'Reserved Tickets'
DO NOT click Home Tickets
And yes, I have bought mine at about 08:45 this morning
-
How do we get the extra ticket.

How do we get the extra ticket.
Can't help with that - you may need to call them.
-
Can't see how to buy the extra tickets per ST holder or how to buy for other ST holders on my friends list. (I can buy for family who are registered as a close link). Also I'm buying for my dad, he's an over 60 so if anyone else is buying in this category you need to click "edit ticket" and select over 65 from the dropdown.
I'll give them a ring!
-
Match is up now just bought my extra ticket
-
Thank god - thats me and Andy sorted and in the south stand.
-
It is possible but it's a bit fiddly. I added the usual season tickets to the basket then 'continued shopping'. I arrived back at to the stadium seat plan which showed the selected season ticket seats highlighted yellow. On that screen you can add seats, change the prices and link new seats to a season ticket holder. I had to properly allocate the tickets so I could add additional ones. A little bit fiddly but worked quite well.
-
I can find my reserved ticket online but any idea how I find the ones reserved for my children?
-
Just had a message from my young friend who tried his luck to get a ticket and no problem. He shouldn't have been allowed until Saturday according to the e mail. So it looks like it's open season if you want to try your luck without waiting

Looks like the south stand has sold out, I imagine that’s with season ticket holders seats being held back for them.

He and anyone who has done this will be refunded throughout the day i’d imagine.
-
Currently it is allowing non season ticket holders to purchase also. Some errors at the minute
-
Just bought 2 through normal HOME TICKET clicks but South has gone already.

Hope so Gaz coz I can’t get through on the phone or see any south stand tickets available online.

Thank you Northants, that's really helpful.
Anyone know if you can purchase reserved tickets for linked friends & family (online), like you usually can? Can't seem to find a way. Bit of a pain as I think a lot of people who go in a group will do the same thing and have one person who tends to log on and sort the tickets for the whole group.
I have to say, I think the communication from the club has been really poor on the ticketing for these semi-finals. I think the away leg comms could've been a hell of a lot clearer and saved a lot of angst, and for this home game, why didn't it say anywhere (unless I've missed it) that you have to go through "Reserved tickets" rather than the usual "Home tickets" menu?
-
Yes
-
Big queue at the ECO!
-
Has south stand sold out already?
-
In the queue & we have been told we can only get our season tickets in the south stand & if you want an additional ticket for someone it has to be in another stand, bit of a shambles really.
-
Has south stand sold out already?
Looks like all tickets have gone on general sale to everyone, just season ticket seats reserved.
-
It is showing the my ticket in my basket but proceed to checkout is greyed out and there is an error notice saying "The price list does not set a price for the Senior 60+ Price Type at the Cat A Price Level". Whats that all about??
-
Our season tickets are in F13, but we are not allowed to purchase our reserved tickets as that area is greyed out and unavailable. We get an error when trying. I know sky like to keep these areas free for cameras and usually the areas do come free, but wondered if anyone else has had the same issue?
-

Thats exactly the messages we are getting for all age groups
-
On line & It won’t allow me to buy my season ticket seats. Will only allow the others which are not reserved season tickets.
So i have purchased an extra one next to me which I need. No problem with that.
I think season tickets are being held until Monday so no panic.
Can’t get through on the phone so will have to be patient.
Any one else the same as me?

Have you gone through DRFC, then Reserved Tickets in the top menu (instead of Home Tickets)? Not immediately obvious but that's how STH's need to do it.
-
I’ve tried to get to the reserved tickets part and am getting nowhere. What a shambles. I’m giving up for now.
-
Some details not been thought through here,clearly. Blame the management. Probably the lads and lasses in the ticket office are run off their feet.
-
The queue at the stadium:
-
My dad’s just left the TO. He said it’s chaos down there. Tracey said the ticketing system has been playing up which hasn’t helped. Some are saying south stand is sold out. I don’t think that’s accurate as all the season ticket holders that were in the SS for the season have been blocked out until Monday thereby creating the impression it’s sold out when it isn’t. Only when they go on general Sale will the accurate picture be known. That said, if every season ticket from the south stand buys two tickets, then it will
Sell out. Dad said there were people down there with 10 season tickets snapping tickets up for friends who couldn’t get down there this morning .
-
It should just be online sales. No need for people to physically go to a ticket office in 2024. Please don’t reply “what about people that…”. People would manage in the same way they get someone to help them if they can’t get to the ticket office in person.
-
Just had fun getting mine online, didn't have the old gits price and eventually it appeared. Can't wait.

That would make a lot of sense and would surely be a lot easier for the TO staff to manage.
-
It would be good if the club could do updates to keep fans informed and build momentum, IE SS has sold say 2856 tickets, 550 season tickets held not used or something like that.
Hopefully if STH are choosing different seats it releases their held ones.

100%
-
I think that's the case. I couldn't add on my extras through the "reserved" section so I had to select random free seats for the ST holders and the "extras" through the normal "Home Tickets" link. That means I've got four seats reserved for ST holders and I've taken a further four so that I could do the add-ons. The reserved seats should go back on sale.
-
I have got three tickets for south stand on line did not realise tickets had been reserved for three of us didn’t even know about that until I read this thread.
-
It’s saying South stand sold out already. This can’t be true can it
-
Im using the reserved tickets and editing as our area is greyed out. We can buy more than 1 extra with our season tickets. If thats the case and more are doing this it will sell out in no time
-
It’s saying South stand sold out already. This can’t be true can it
Season ticket reserve seating will in that so no I don’t believe it’s sold out
-
Just bought my tickets online. I’ve gone in the East Stand to avoid the drama and to ensure I have a ticket. E-tickets so no need to queue
I do need to go an collect my Crewe away tickets but don’t fancy being in a long queue with those waiting for home ones.
Anyone know if the ticket office is open at the weekend? I was planning on going tomorrow morning
-
Everyone, I have just bought 4 tickets using 1 reserved season Ticket. The system has obviously failed and everyone can fill their boots. I can even go back and add more. Not sure how this will get resolved but currently its a bit of a skip fire
-
Still will not allow me to buy my reserved season tickets.
I have already purchased one next to ours but it says there is a problem next to my grandsons U 13 ticket. There is a red exclamation mark.
Really frustrating.
Technology hey when it goes wrong
-
The queue at the ground is moving very, very slowly.
Really can’t understand why they haven’t opened the actual box office that has 5-6 windows to be sold from rather than using the club shop
-
What a mess.
If we get to Wembley this could be carnage. Hopefully issues will be rectified and learnings implemented before then if it happens.
-
Absolute chaos. Got a feeling there will be some disappointed people. My advice, if you know anyone that wants/needs one, get them to get it now. Regardless of having a season ticket or not, it’s a free for all.
-
There’ll be plenty of seats available at Wembley, and probably e-tickets anyway, QR codes on phone screens etc. can’t really see it being a problem.
Let’s win the SF first!
-
Just been on the website and it let me select a seat in the dugout so I might be getting a game Friday night

It will be down to pricing Camps you need to edit your tickets, get your season tickets from the drop down menu top right, click on drfc then click on reserved seats again depending on ages you might need to edit them
-
Can’t even buy my own seat online - showing as sold! Just bought 2 elsewhere
-
See my post above

Confirmed, even non season ticket holders can fill their boots. Oh dear

Click DRFC in the top menu bar, then click 'Reserved Tickets'
DO NOT click Home Tickets

Worked like a charm. Thank you NN.

100% correct. Online only it's 2024 not 1984. You'll still get that one who "but I only use the Internet on Mondays so this is an outrage" or "my caterpillar needs it's walk when they go on sale at 9am" but they'll do the same if they won the lottery find that one negative about it
-
What a mess.
-
The +1 seats in the South Stand sold out sometime after 10 am , was in the queue att .
Bit of a surprise so have had to switch to East Stand for my 2 tickets
-
I don’t mean to be too negative but is anyone surprised?
We are useless when a situation arises out of the ordinary.
It’s funny how “system errors” always seems to affect us more than anyone else on these occasions.
I too couldn’t add on my extras when buying this morning through the “reserved tickets” section. Frustrating.
-
I’ve just managed to buy my senior ST seat but only using PayPal. Got error message every time I tried using my credit card. Still won’t let me buy the 14-17 ST seat next to me. Tried ringing but no chance of getting through at present.
-
Currently it is allowing non season ticket holders to purchase also. Some errors at the minute
Not sure if that is based on points though. Managed to buy mine ok this morning, not sure if that's a glitch or not though.
-
North stand it is then

The extra one I purchased was an Adult ticket £20
If I change mine from senior to Adult it will allow proceed to check out but it doesn’t want me to buy my senior price and a junior one for my grandson.
This is I assume I purchased the extra ticket first separately because our season tickets were greyed out and I could not find a way to buy those tickets.
Pulling my hair out now. Why should I have to pay £20 instead of £16 for my ticket. I know it’s only £4 but it’s annoying. Do I take the risk I might get a refund.
Can’t get through on the tel and it will cost £4 in fuel to the Eco and back and then might be in a long queue
-
If you go online and have a purchase history it seems you can purchase a ticket now
-
I think we need to cut the club a bit of slack here. We obviously don’t have premier league infrastructure so have to try and make do with what we’ve got and it’s obvious it can’t cope with such big traffic all at once.
IF we get through to the final, it might be worth outsourcing this to ticket master to sell them if that’s an option. I know Huddersfield did this a few years ago in the playoffs to prevent the kind of carnage we’ve seen today
-
Can't buy reserved seats online where one is a carer as no price is being set, its all a bit frustrating isn't it.
-
Surely the biggrst problem with us as Season ticket holders is that we are not familiar with navigating the site. How many renew STs by ringing the office when it's time? It's not the site to blame it's us

This 100%
-
I have emailed a few people at the club as to the free for all. Its gonna nark a lot of people off thinking they of buying tomorrow only to find very little left with the only option the North stand. Are people still queing? 500 more sold since i bought mine 1 hour or so ago

Not if the ticketing system is playing up as someone said Tracy has said,and you've more chance of winning lottery than getting through on phone on days like today,your stumped unless you go down in person.
-

Fixed it so anyone with purchase history can buy them,or fixed it so its season tickets holders only for now?
I have and 2 other family members have a fan number+history but not season tickets,but while trying to buy it says,"qty of tickets owned exceeds limitations,to buy more assigned to tickets to other owners,but then goes on to says "sales to this product are limited to '0' for all of us,Cannot even buy 1 ticket online yet? So is it season ticket only today?
-
Annoyed at this. I'm not an ST holder any more but been to most of the home games and several away games. I've been resigned to waiting until Monday until I can buy and I've just seen that I could have bought this morning if I'd seen this earlier, rightly or wrongly. The seats my dad and I sit in for every game have already gone, that's the price you pay for not being an ST holder I guess but its still annoying the system has let us down.

That's the message you get when you've not met whatever the criteria is. So when I tried to buy crewe away with less loyalty points than allowed, I got that same message. So seems to me like they've fixed it so it's properly not selling to non STH

I wish! Another cock up I was told if you were collecting you could go straight in well no stewards or owt and didnt fancy trying! Surely one person on one of the collection windows used on a match day wouldn't be too hard
-
Seriously, people just need to calm down a bit and chill. There’s plenty of space. Stress for stress sake

Amazing what a bit of success does suddenly everyone wants to watch Rovers

Yes, that's right. Apparently there was a problem this morning when setting the parameters to restrict sales to only season members. The few that got through the system have been refunded.
They are aware it would have been helpful to issue a guide to buying online, particularly with reference to accessing 'Reserved tickets' etc. There's been an update on social media. There used to be a guide on the website but buggered if I could find it, so hopefully that will be restored at some point.
I doubt very much the club will consider Ticketsmaster with the costs involved using a third party.
We've coped before for Wembley and we will again IF we get there.
The EFL have already contacted all four clubs involved in the semis about the ticketing arrangements for Wembley so that they're prepared as soon as semis are decided.

Supposedly
Mine are showing as gone. Not on the reserved portal any more !!!
-
Well I was critical of the club yesterday regarding away tickets but went online and booked what I wanted for the home game with no problems at all. Go to the tickets page and log in. Then hover on DRFC. On the pull down click reserved tickets. You should then be able to book your own seat and book any additional seats by using your other allocated names.

Thanks DBR,that explains it,agree no need for ticketmaster if we reach wembley,will be plenty tickets and time to sort sales out for that.
-
Just a thought Camps have you got cup direct ?
-
If it happens, Wembley will be easier to control than the semi. Plenty of room for everyone and their mam at wemberley.

Bear in mind with the confusion I suspect a lot of people have perhaps booked other seats without knowing their seats are held, plus some STH won't be attending so I expect there will be loads available come Monday.
-
Anyone know what the queue situation is at the ground at the moment?

If your just collecting tickets you can go straight inside and get them

Maybe BFYP, but when you scan the seating layouts it appears a hugely disproportionate number of tickets have been shifted already.

Just spent an enjoyable couple of hours talking all things Rovers with the people in the queue around me whilst waiting to purchase my tickets for the Crewe home game.

Thanks for that Jenny. At lot of tickets have been sold when you consider its ST'S only at this point.
Bear in mind with the confusion I suspect a lot of people have perhaps booked other seats without knowing their seats are held, plus some STH won't be attending so I expect there will be loads available come Monday.
Maybe BFYP, but when you scan the seating layouts it appears a hugely disproportionate number of tickets have been shifted already.
Hope so, let's hope it sells out would be amazing.

If you go online and have a purchase history it seems you can purchase a ticket now
Looks like they've fixed it.
Fixed it so anyone with purchase history can buy them,or fixed it so its season tickets holders only for now?
I have and 2 other family members have a fan number+history but not season tickets,but while trying to buy it says,"qty of tickets owned exceeds limitations,to buy more assigned to tickets to other owners,but then goes on to says "sales to this product are limited to '0' for all of us,Cannot even buy 1 ticket online yet? So is it season ticket only today?
Yes me too online

Is there a separate queue to collect Crewe away tickets please?
If your just collecting tickets you can go straight inside and get them
Is that definite? I don’t want to be lynched by the mob when I try it
-
Just a thought Camps have you got cup direct ?
No
Just been down to the Eco stood in scorching sun for 50 mins queue and sorted.
First thing she said was you have been trying on line this morning.
Could see I was having a problem. Didn’t know why it wasn’t accepting my season ticket seats.
Any way all done.
My daughter now says she can’t go as granddaughter has a dancing competition in Huddersfield on Sat 11th and they are staying overnight on Fri.
So if anyone wants a ticket at face value of course £20 I have it printed out. W25 seat 548 next to my 2 seats.
Just pm me and I will arrange to meet you before the game or whatever is convenient.
If no one asks for it by Sunday eve I will return it to the ticket office for a refund on Monday at around 1-30 to 2-00pm before setting off on the coach to the away game at Crewe.

As a season ticket holder with my disabled wife living in Lincoln, I have been trying to phone through all day , as my wife is in a wheelchair and carer ticket required we cannot purchase them on line.
Just got through onthe phone to hear its closed for today
hey ho , silly system !
-
How many ST holders are there? I can't understand why so many seats are taken when you look online, it seems extremely disproportionate.

How do we purchase online? The south stand is greyed out, and I can see an option of unreserved seating that I've read about? No chance of getting through on phone?
-
I think some who are season ticket holders have just clicked on buy on line and NOT .........SIGN IN
so the site doesn't understand they want their SEASON ticket seat/s which would be hidden otherwise .
so they have then just bought tickets elsewhere where the option otherwise lets them.
I would have thought the Box office SHOULD have been open properly AND staffed until 8pm AND phones properly managed as well.
Maybe Grant could arrange their playing/staffing levels 442 or 2 wide 2 centre with a good midfield and 2 up front LOL

Whilst in the shop/ticket office waiting to purchase my tickets I did hear the lady answering the phone field a couple of calls from non season ticket trying to blag their tickets early. This obviously held up those season ticket holders trying to legitimately buy theirs.

Is there a separate queue to collect Crewe away tickets please?
If your just collecting tickets you can go straight inside and get them

Yes, they were even sending members of staff down the queue asking if anyone was only there to collect. If they were, they were taking them straight inside.
The main problem seems to have been that the box office has moved into the club shop which only has three “stations” to sell from and all three are linked to the same desktop printer to print the tickets.
In the proper box office there were about 5-6 booths that could be served from which would obviously be a lot quicker.

I'm logged in, as soon as I click on South stand, it says area locked?, if I click the areas tab, it shows me remaining tickets in west and east, I have no idea how to proceed without a phone call. And I consider myself very tech savvy?

If you're a season member, you shouldn't need to select seats from the plan. See above.

This should have been communicated before todays fiasco, not halway through the day.
I don’t get “the system is playing up” the system only does what its told to do, by someone inputting the instructions

You would have thought on this occasion they would use the normal ticket office all week due to the demand for home and away tickets.

Hugely disappointing. I've taken my daughter and youngest grandson to the Eco all season. I got a taxi to the Eco this afternoon and queued for an hour to be told I could only buy my ticket as the South Stand is sold out.
The only way I can have a chance of getting them tickets at all, albeit in another part of the ground, is for me to somehow get to the Eco first thing Monday morning.
Even then, there might be none left, with all the Johnny-come-latelies clamouring for tickets.

I had similar problems this morning.
I logged in to my account and tried to buy for three of us (linked ST holders).
All three names came up but were shown as over 60+ and showed a nil value.
There was a message to say that 60+ tickets were not available for this match and that I should amend the error.
Nothing I tried would allow me to do it so after twenty minutes of trying I found that my potential order was removed from the screen.
I saw some comments on here about the probable issues so left it an hour and tried again.
This time it all went through fine so I was able to buy the three tickets and have had an email confirming purchase.
During to process though I was never able to find anything on the site which referred to reserved seating.
-
The website is a joke, I've finally managed to find reserved seating under the drfc tab, allocated the 4 people in my group, my lad and his mate are both 15, one of them0 is classed as a junior 14 to 17, this category doesnt exist. The other is a young adult 14 to 24, that's fine. If u try and edit the profile of the one that's not working, it says area is locked, I despair!
-
I forgot to add that my first attempt kept giving me the “area is locked” message.
-
Well done to the club for managing to wind up both existing and new supporters all at the same time.

it takes some finding, on thr tickets page where you can select home or away tickets, at the top there's a drfc tab. Hit that and there's loads of options, one bring reserved seating.. where you can select everyone in your group. As long as their profile matches the current naming convention for age categories? Madness...

I've just had the same, my nephew's age group doesn't exist anymore.
I think I clicked on edit ticket then it took me to the seating plan with the seat selected, then use the drop menu to select the correct age category.
At least I think that's what I did, I've managed to buy it thankfully.
-
My son is in the junior 14-17 and it will not let me have his ticket. I hope it is just rumours about being sold out in the South, you buy season tickets to ensure you have that preferred area guaranteed for a season.
I will assume they have taken our season tickets into account and we will be fine. It’s not the end of the world as long as we get tickets, but it will be disappointing not to be around people we know and like to be with for a special moment.

Go to log in & put his supporters id in & click forgot password (unless he already has a log in?)
I had to do that with my nephew's, the password reset then came to my email as he's linked to my account.
Then I could log in as him & go to reserved tickets. It then came up as wrong age category, click edit ticket & it goes to the seating plan with the seat selected, use the drop menu to select the 14-24 category & you should be good.
-
I've just realised how bloody daft I've been today. I've wasted 2 hours of my life, wasted £10 on taxi fare, and £16 on a ticket I don't even want. If tickets are sold out before general sale and my daughter and grandson can't come, then I won't be coming on my own. We'll all watch it together on Sky.
If there are some tickets left, then I'll buy 3 so we can all sit together. In that scenario, they might refund me for the South Stand ticket I bought today. Either way, I've had a wasted journey and taxi fare because I'd not thought it through.

Why can’t you buy them online? Are they just on sale to season ticket holders at the moment? I select my seats and it says it exceeds by 0 allocation? Me and my boy are members too?

Yes, just on sale to season ticket holders today, mini package tomorrow. General sale on Monday. This has been communicated well! So not sure why you aren't aware
-

General sale isn't while Monday, Jim, and the signs are that they'll be snapped up quick.
Plus the fact that I don't trust technology.

I just bought mine & nephew's, we're season members.
I do want one more but only availability showing is on the front four rows so no good to me.

They were on general sale for hours this morning until they sorted the criteria out. I’m guessing the only South stand tickets that will go on sale are the ones season ticket holders don’t purchase, which won’t be many.

I managed to purchase 4 tickets this morning 4 family. Just had them cancelled and refunded by the club. It’s all a bit amateur really. Will try again Saturday fingers crossed

All this could have been avoided by having a ticket purchasing instruction page on the DRFC website. List all the options and what you have to do if you’re a season ticket holder, or whatever.
Simples.

They’ll have been plenty of people that just wanted to buy tickets though and weren’t aware of the various dates for various groups.
Imagine if you’re a casual fan, you’ve bought tickets, and then you get a call from the club saying actually you shouldn’t have been allowed to buy tickets. Amateur.
-
I bought 4 this morning and not had any email stating that I will be getting a refund.

I get that the club published their rules but if someone asked to buy a ticket and the seller agrees to sell at an agreed price then that’s a contract. The club might be on shaky ground and their conditions of sale don’t mention the seller cocking up

i am a season ticket holder for this and next season in the south stand and i work out of town.
I have been trying all day to get one for myself and my son who is not a season ticket holder.
It says something like area locked.

Unlike us where it allows my disabled wife's ticket but does not allow my £0 for carer even though it shows it but with a red exclamation mark saying it does not understand £0 so cant proceed to purchase
-
Clearly, there are some flaws in the ticketing system.
-
So for whatever reason, but thankfully, the online ticket function is now working for juniors 14-17 and I was able to get our tickets in the south stand.
Does anyone know if it will still be unreserved seating in the south?
-
I honestly cannot get the utter hysteria this has/is causing. It blows my mind.
No wonder the rest of the world regards us a thick, third world country. Grown adults unable to follow rules, read the information available or buy a ticket to a football match online. Then have the audacity to moan about how hard done to they’ve been.
Wonder what round 2 will bring today?

I think one of the "bugbears" is that very very rarely are we in a situation where as STHs we need to buy Tickets like this where our Seats are Reserved.
So yesterday I was ready for buying 3 ( an additional 2 STHs on my Account ) and because it had been quite a while I struggled to remember the way to do it
Time and again I logged in and out and ended up in one of 2 places. The place where my Seats were greyed out or a place where I couldn't buy because my Tickets there was the price mismatch issue
Even when following some of the tips on here I was still frustrated though as a) I knew I had many days to buy my Seat and b ) more frustratingly I knew there was a way to do it as I had done it before !
Eventually I concede I "fluked" it. 3 bought but it may be ages till it crops up again , and before it does it would be good if it was made simpler
-
My granddaughter wants to go now. She had a season ticket for years but gave it up when she started a family so goes to odd games. I’m hoping she can buy my mates ticket who site next to me and can’t go due to holidays. It’s pointless me buying my reserved ticket if she can’t sit near me. Loads of seats that are empty near me week in week out are showing grey which is strange though. I’m ringing the ticket office today to see if there’s an easy solution.
-
A lot of seats near me appear to be sold, despite no season ticket holders being sat there all season. Seems some not all have been refunded from yesterday.
-
Don't forget season ticket holders could buy an extra seat. We have changed our seats for the game and there isn't an option to then release our ST seats which are greyed out until Monday. So for now we effectively have double seats even though our ST seats aren't bought.

Even throwing that into the mix, where I sit in W30, there are a lot of seats sold that aren't ST seats. Can only assume as Jenny pointed out, there might be quite some duplication on the syste
m until ST seats who've bought elsewhere have been released on Monday. Disappointing that it appears there are still many who have got away with getting tickets and not been refunded.

Does say Unreserved on the tickets otherwise there could be problems Friday evening
-
The club have sent out communication saying how to buy reserved seats which is great, but they still haven't fixed issues such as can't buy a carer ticket through the reserved system as the price doesn't work and some seats are simply not showing. Its quite frustrating when more than happy to buy online but can't and then adding to their stress of either having to try and get through on the phone or queue up.
-
Thankfully the issue with age csteg8not being recognised has been fixed this morn, so I've got my 4 no bother now..

Just done a tot up of seats remaining on the ticket page.
Apart from the reserved season tickets which haven’t sold yet and presumably there will be at least a 95% take up on those and any balance will go on general sale on Monday there are only just over 1.000 tickets remaining at the home end.
Now as it stands with the away end & North corners in blue not available I would suggest that is 4.400 seats
So doing my maths 14.800 capacity allowing for segregation and scoreboard etc, shall we say at present around 14.800
- 4.400 current away end blocked off on the map = 10.400 then less any unsold 1.000 at present = 9.400 sold and including all reserved season ticket seats not sold yet.
Now I am pretty sure those 1.000 + remaining seats will go quite quickly from tomorrow and then some of the North Stand and or North corners will be opened up to home supporters as the demand will obviously be there from general sales.
I just don’t see Crewe requiring more than what they have been allocated already 1.589 unless they get a very good result in the 1st leg.
Now I would think they will have to ask for a further allocation fairly soon and before the 1st leg is played because if they don’t need any we must have time allowed to sell these to our supporters.
So imo Monday morning will probably be a cut off point for Crewe to ask for any more & that is before KO of the 1st leg game.
So to sum up I can see a further 2.000 tickets being made available to Rovers Fans next week.
If we sell them then the total sold would be 12.400 home tickets & 1.589 away tickets give or take of course.
13.989 Total. :)
That would be fantastic and I think if we get a good result in the away leg then with some late sales next week then we could just possibly get somewhere near to achieving that gate.
It will be in the 12.500 to 13750 :thumbsup: as an almost definite unless I have lost the plot which is always a possible. ;) :facepalm:

We'll probably get a clearer picture by close of play Monday. Poss when alot of manoeuvring been done with folk who've bought tickets and need to exchange seats etc. Plus any unsold season members seats are freed up.
Very much doubt Crewe will get more seeing as they won't give us any extra.
There definitely seems to be a good vibe out there with folk wanting to see our story continue to a happy ending. . It's definitely rekindled some dying flames. It's not very often all the ingredients come together, not since SO'D assembled his great footballing team that earned us alot of praise, punching above our normal weight.

I've just had the same, my nephew's age group doesn't exist anymore.
I think I clicked on edit ticket then it took me to the seating plan with the seat selected, then use the drop menu to select the correct age category.
At least I think that's what I did, I've managed to buy it thankfully.
I'm guessing you are in the west or east stand that has tickets available?
I just bought mine & nephew's, we're season members.
I do want one more but only availability showing is on the front four rows so no good to me.
what stand do you sit in , my dad cannot go on we sit in the west stand row p 591 ,so I have a spare ticket or I will need to return it on Tuesday,good seats , he booked to see the a Beatles tribute act in February and my mum is looking forward to seeing it ,he's scared to tell her about the football
Rich. I have DM'd you.

I think there are a lot more tickets available than is apparent. I suspect small blocks of tickets are released piecemeal. At lunchtime yesterday there were 397 seats available in blocks E3,4,6 and 9. There are currently 438 available in those same blocks. There will be more than enough tickets for anyone who wants one.
-
There are definitely more tickets than showing on the system....
Take my group for example, we have 13 season tickets across 2 locations but due to the way they have locked down the seats, we have now bought 2 lots of 4 tickets in seats that aren't our season ticket seats.
They can't release the STH seats until they release them all. So on Monday lots more tickets will probably become available to general sale.
Because there was confusion around how to buy your reserved seat, I imagine many just bought a seat in the south stand via the home tickets function rather than their reserved seat.... which means that more will become available once their seat has been released.
-
Correct Jenny, as I have said earlier in the thread.
-
Just got my South stand and another south stand became available whilst I was on the phone. She said south stand had sold out, apart from the season ticket reserved ones.
-
I don’t know why we don’t just free up all seats from the start rather than hold them for people.
Still let ST holders purchase first but let them buy a couple.
Does it really matter if your in your own seat or not for one match?
Seems to cause more hassle than it’s worth.

Of course it matters if your in your own seat,
Your then sat with your friends/ family and sat with the same people you've forged friendships with over the years .

I think there would be hell on if the club didn't stick to one of the major benefits of season memberships by reserving seats (South stand aside) for priority access.

Never had all this to put up with at Belle Vue! Life was so bloody simple. :ermm:

Supposed to be an exciting week looking forward to a couple of huge matches, thanks for the giggle.

So for whatever reason, but thankfully, the online ticket function is now working for juniors 14-17 and I was able to get our tickets in the south stand.
Does anyone know if it will still be unreserved seating in the south?
South stand seating is always unreserved.
Does say Unreserved on the tickets otherwise there could be problems Friday evening
You can't go from unreserved to reserved overnight, its impossible, especially when seat numbers are not printed on those tickets.

Exactly why the atmosphere will be crap at Wembley if we get there. Spread over 3 tiers over 40000 seats. There'll be 10000 day trippers there

Why don’t the club sell a quiet zone and a lively active zone?
That way fans at least have a choice of where they might be before thinking that they are in the right area.
Of course we have to earn the right to be there first.
I would also like to thank the ticket office for sorting the tickets out for me and my granddaughter today. Actually speaking to someone is far better than dealing with a machine. Problems can be resolved much more quickly.
-
I didn’t allow for the south stand in my calculation earlier today.
South stand is blanked out because it is unreserved seating and you don’t pick individual seats.
So that’s 3000 seats less any already sold
Possibly another 2000+ available at a guess then on top of what I said this morning.
We will see but I think we will have a gate of over 12.500 which will beat the JPT trophy game gate v Crewe in 2007

The whole reason the ‘machine’ was created was they can resolve problems much more quickly than a person. Generation thing I guess.
The e ticket QR code for home games was one of the best things the club brought in. I used to to hate the rigmarole of getting down in the week or having to get down early on a match day to queue up for a ticket. Now it’s a 2 minute job on the website and stroll straight in.

There is a family area isn’t there still? Families should really be in there if they want a more sedate experience. Can’t really complain if they sit elsewhere.

In a conundrum this morning, I could buy tickets now, but do I wait to see what other seats are released on Monday, taking into account all this suspected duplication?
-
I got two tickets in the West Stand the other day but need two more tickets. I have an owner account with purchase history I can use when they go on general sale on Monday but how can I get these seats together now? Can I purchase the two extra tickets and then email and ask they're moved together?

It's not an insurmountable problem.
For England home games the more vociferous supporters buy tickets in a certain block to ensure they're all together. Its accommodated by the Ticket-master system so it should be possible to do the same for any game.
-
I ordered my tickets over the phone about 1.30 yesterday. I asked for them posting out as last time I printed the tickets off one had a problem. They have just arrived in Bradford.
Great service from the ticket office as I was expecting them about Tuesday.

I should think it depends on the quality of the software we use, if this week is to go by then it is probably far to say we use lower end quality software, or the software has not been set up properly. One thing we can say is that no one should be worried about getting a ticket if we manage to get there

Would you say the atmosphere was crap in our end at Wembley in 2008.?
Bloody wasn’t, even more so from minute 47 onwards.!
Chances are most sections won’t sell out, so if you don’t want to sit beside those people you find are there, wait until a minute or two before kick off, or a few minutes into the game, and move somewhere else. That’s what me and my dad did last time to get a better view having been in the lower tier frontish rows..
Crap atmosphere at a final at Wembley.??
-
Maybe time to think about a singing section for wembley ?
The obvious choice would be the lower tier behind the goal.
Black bank on tour !
-
Don’t they only open up the upper tier(s) at Wembley if demand allows it for the play-off finals nowadays?
Pretty sure a lot of clubs who take 15-20k just have the bottom tier.

We haven’t got there yet!

Most didn’t get cancelled from what I’ve seen. Only seemed to be a handful despite what they said on the OS. I wonder if the ones refunded were where they purchased a ST holders seat rather than a spare one

I know there's a lot going on this week but this is frustrating. I know in the grand scheme of things, picking out all the people who shouldn't have bought at that time and refunding them wouldn't be good use of staff time right now. But it's frustrating a lot of these people have had first dibs on seats when most of them probably haven't been most of the season. Frustrating but can't do anything about it.

We haven’t got there yet!
two true ,we still need to beat crewe ,we have been on a great run , but let's not think we now have a Wright to go to Wembley again ,,before wenl kick off

What is lower level soft ware? the Post Office spent millions on theirs and look what happened there.
Why is it when there is a bit of a glitch it is because the club buy cheap according to some supporters and they talk the club down every time without mostly knowing the facts.
-
Should tickets be available on general sale to buy online now? I've reserved 2 tickets but it's saying "Sales to this product are limited to 0 per event per history per item owner"
-
It’s open now as I’ve just bought some. Plenty available in most sections. Maybe not where you’d normally sit or prefer to be, but just get it done and make sure you’re in that stadium for this one if you can.

That was me, RedRover. Straightforward process no difficulty. I only bought a single ticket, perhaps others having difficulty are trying to purchase more than allowed?
-
I can buy one , but not one for my lad

Working now I think.
One per person.

South Stand available now.

No I tried to buy one, now on checking again it now says that some tickets were released unexpectedly & to remove from basket?

You need to assign the ticket to him once it’s in your basket
-
sorted - just realised you need to add family members/friends as a relationship on your account before allocating the tickets to them.

I don’t know about wetting their knickers as you put it. It appears, that I was correct.
One ticket per person. No purchase history no ticket. My family cannot buy. I will keep checking to see if that changes.

Oh give it a rest bloody hell. If things were communicated properly and people knew exactly when they could buy tickets for their preferred stand, it wouldn't have been a problem.
Add in to the fact the away leg sold out megs fast which added to the excitement and keenness to get home tickets.

As I’ve said before, my wife has never been to a Rovers game in her life, she has purchase history from going to a concert at the stadium, I can get her a ticket no problem by allocating it to her at checkout
-
Just got 3. One for me then assigned the other two to my son and daughter.
-
I really don’t understand this one ticket per person and purchase history restriction.
What is it achieving other than slowing ticket sales and causing unnecessary dissatisfaction amongst some fans
-
I presume the tickets have to be collected? As there was nothing suggesting postage.
-
Colincramb has excelled himself, moaning about the moaners, whining about the whiners, and generally pouring derision on his fellow supporters who were worried about whether they could attend a play-off SF and where they will be sat. Obviously feels he has claimed the higher ground so take a bow.
-

e-ticket via email
-
Maybe those with no purchase history could get a chance towards the end of the week when those with one have had a fair crack at it? OK not ideal as probably can’t sit where they’d prefer but better than nothing. Could there be a no purchase history block?! They would have to state details confirming why they’re supporting Rovers and not a Crewe fan trying to sneak in. Maybe totally impractical I don’t know.
Many of these will be Rovers fans who’ve been to games but might miss out due to the lack of recent online purchase history in their name.

Looks like there isn’t many left online but I wonder how many they have held back for in person sales.

Be opening new blocks, north end West Stand & North Stand, I presume?

All of North Stand currently unavailable. But some of it will be available for home fans if needed. Several hundred I would think?
-
Why can’t we have a phone queue system. It’s just engaged constantly.
Both me and my dad have rovers IDs but can’t buy online because the password been forgotten. And it sends the reset to a email that must be an old work one. Doesn’t seem an option to reset the ID email. And I can’t register again because it recognises my name and says I’ve already got an account!

Check any previous emails when you’ve bought tickets to see if your supporter ID is included anywhere. You can log in with that instead of your email if you know your password.
Edit* just remember to change your email to one you can access if you get e-tickets.

About ten rows of W32 have no seat backs, this was the case for the Barrow game. If this is still the case, these 200 or so seats will not be made for sale due to safety grounds!

5 tickets left in the South stand

The North Stand has yet to be released

Surely there must be some still left to be released given some said we'd sold 6000 up to yesterday? It'd be pushing 10k already if they have all sold.

Got ticket ok in the end.
I know my supporters ID but to buy online you need a password (honestly not sure I’ve ever set one up). When on the phone with the ticket office they said it was an E ticket and I got them to double check what email they had for my ID.
Turns out it is my current email so looks like the reset password link just isn’t working on the page as I’ve had no reset link even in my spam file after trying a few times.

Can’t understand why people are queuing outside on a bank holiday Monday? There is this amazing invention! It’s called the internet. Contrary to early reviews, it has caught on.

Just counting 106 left on mine so expect the next block to open up soon

I make it 106 left including blocks W31 , E1 and E2 which is a fantastic response from the Fans

Answer! Apathy.
Was in the local on Friday, this fella said to me the home game is sold out isn't it, I wouldn't have minded going. I said you will be able to go, tickets aren't even on general sale yet!
-
Looks like it could be our biggest ever home support in the stadium’s history.

Just been in, over 9,000 sold.

Surely the north has got to be opened now

120 at the minute

Loads of tickets E45 & E46 opened up to sale
COYR
-
The last two sections in the East Stand round the corner have just been released 150 tickets the next after them will be starting in the North East side I believe
-
Where are the Crewe fans situated? You can seem to buy tickets in the away section.

They will be put on the west half of the north. Us on the east half of the north.

Is there segregation on the concourse in the North Stand?
-
Yes, I was thinking that, with the section with the missing seat backs for segregation.
Yes, the concourse can be split a couple of different ways.

There's a wall with lockable doors in, same as in the east. They lock it when away capacities are small to stop fans having the full wander of the stand, keeps stewarding/catering costs down.
-
Blocks N41,42 and 43 now available. Very few seats left elsewhere
-
Wonder if these are the last sections that will be opened.
I know we have a game to sort but think we need a ticket office update
-
North Stand open

Why? What difference does it make to your life or anyone else's for the ticket office to stop selling tickets and give an update of which stand this or which stand that, which will change 5 min later anyway. Can the club just be allowed to get on and sell

Pretty sure it will take 30 seconds to say we have 300 seats left for Friday game with 1 or 2 sections left to open
-

I don't think we need an update really other than when and if we sell out but, to answer your question, I think Crewe will have 2/3 of the North, with us having the remaining 1/3 so, it could well be the final block now on sale, but that's just a best guess.
Looks like it's a great take up and well done the club and staff working all hours.
-
Looks like there’s only North Stand tickets left now
-
Looks like just under 600 tickets left for Friday left, what an unbelievable effort that is to get behind the lads and that makes for an unreal atmosphere.
-
Thinking it will be sold out by tomorrow at 1 o'clock if not before, unsure if there is another block to be opened or that's all folks
-
Robbie Andrew said we had sold around 9000 home tickets.
-
I heard him say 10000 ..and I drink Merlot .
-
It was 9,100 at lunch time.
-
If the away end holds 3,400 in the north only and the stadium holds say 14,200 with segregation then that leaves 10,800 for the three sides which I believe have all sold out unless some have been kept back.
-
515 left according to the website
-
If needed couldn't they open up the second to last block on the West Stand towards the north and just leave the one block as segregation.
-
Hopefully people wear red and white on Friday. Too much black and grey Stone Island crap.
-
Alfie May saying he’s going on Friday.
-
What blocks have Crewe been given?
-
Only north stand tickets left now....
-
Less than 500 currently available for purchase.

Is there a Que at the TO this morning ?

Matty Blair in crowd yesterday - what a lovely bloke, shaking hands, hugs and selfies all round. Had a Tommy Rowe shirt on!
-
375
-
I think there will be one more block available, if needed. So 375 + probably 400ish. Can we sell another 700 odd to make this a home sell out??
-
Not positive but I think N41 is the last block up to the split concourse. They may look at a few other pinch points around the rest of the stadium, if there's the demand, to shoehorn in a few more but they won't compromise safety.
-
Sure I sat in N40 for the palace free match many years back
-
I’m unsure if W32 and w33 have been on sale at all
-
Facebook post from the club just now stating less than 500 home tickets left.
Looks like 267 left on the online booking
-
Not many left now.
-
Incredible effort to effectively sell this out. For once the public has responded to one of its sports teams
-
Any idea what sort of figure this amounts to with regards to home support?
-

Still lives in Bircotes.

Just guessing but I would imagine something around the 11k mark
-
Am I right in thinking this could be the biggest home crowd ever at the Eco power ? ( for just home supporters)
As previous big crowds have always included full away allocations.
-
Not sure if the palace game currently holds the record. I remember the away being split then
-
I suspect there will be quite a few unhappy punters come tea time tonight. Those that are not keeping tabs with what’s going on and just expect there to be tickets. I think demand for tickets for this game may just outstrip supply.
-
Crewe have less than 500 left now too so looks good for a full sellout.

After yesterday I can’t see Crewe selling many more,

Less than 200 left now, can't see them lasting the day. Great response from the fans.
-
Looks like W31, W32 & W33 are marked as not for sale.
Assuming this is for segregation? Is so, does it really need that amount of segregation?
Could they not just leave W33 for segregation with netting over and sell blocks W31 & W32?
-
Palace match attendance was 14,010…..
Can we beat it?
PS
Matty Blair absolute top lad!

I seem to remember someone saying the club was on a warning prior to the prat army invading v Barrow.
So I can understand the club going very safe on segregation.
So thank you to all the kn*bheads for that.

There is a designed in segregation between west and north stand. A whopping great metal corridor that’s runs top to bottom of the stand.
-
Clearly seen here. Use the little wedge of seats to the left as screening. Job done.
-
I think those sections are where the seats are that have been used to repair other broken seats around the stadium.
-
Fair enough when we knew we were unlikely to need those seats but we really ought to be replacing the seat backs now. I guess they would cost in the region of £30 each when ordered in bulk so a significant proportion of that would be covered by the ticket sales.
-
Problem is mike we don't get the ticket sales. It's all pooled so we don't get much money from them.
Great support for the play offs though no doubt.

Does anyone know how many seats have the backs missing? This could be a fan based crowdfund thing to sort perhaps? I can’t imagine it would be that costly. And a nice thing to give back to the club.
-
50 ish left.
-
Time to build another tier on the EcoPower!
:lol:
-
Did say yesterday I expected it to sell out by 1 today so not far off
-
The noise on Friday is going to be deafening
-
11,140 with 3400 Charlton fans for our last play off game so shows the difference
-

You can see better from this photo the away separation, suspect they may build a studio in the north west corner

I think you are correct about a studio it’s usually put there, good segregation I suppose

Now then, about those pins for the east stand extension
-
Now then, about those pins for the east stand extension
It's the one stand fans don't want to sit at, hence sell out last. The kop (south stand) should go back further. That would be my first choice. The fan base want to be in and around where the atmosphere is!
-
With just 3 tickets left it’s safe to say it’s a home sell out.
-
Well, top section of E45 now been released. 75 tickets. ?
Wonder why this section was held back ?

F13 now opened up. Another 70 odd tickets . How many other “ unavailable” areas are there ?

I thought this area looked sparse for the barrow game.

I agree with you. My comment is a joke from when the stadium was built.
I'd rather see safe standing in the Black Bank. That would increase capacity a little bit but would definitely generate the buzz in there
-

As previous big crowds have always included full away allocations.
The record home attendance was in 2010 v Swansea with 12500 Home fans. The famous Donnybob challenge. That was when we took the bigger portion of the North round from the West including where the Crewe fans will be.

33 left in E45
Managed to secure a ticket in W30 and can’t wait
-
Looks like it’s a full house now, no tickets appear to be for sale at this time.

I believe the whole ground is being used for the Challenge Cup semi-final in a couple of weeks. W31 is definitely on sale.
-
So what is the potential maximum allowed now ?
-

No one seemingly knows, let alone the club. Rumours are Bramall is out there as we speak taping up seatbacks.
-
I don’t think the broken seats is the reason we aren’t using those last 2 blocks of the west. I was sat near said seats for the narrow game so I could sit with a mate - there’s barely 20/30 seats out of use. The simple solution would be just to cover those seats and sell the rest, so I suspect it’s a segregation issue rather than anything else
-
I’m hoping they haven’t announced a sell out yet as their contemplating opening one (hopefully two) of those blocks at the end of the west stand.
-
Think that’s were the sky broadcasting box will be so unless they can open the bottom half of the stand I would say it’s a sell out
-
Last 74 tickets just been made available
-
11,140 with 3400 Charlton fans for our last play off game so shows the difference
Wow astonishing that. Nobody must have believed we'd do it then that season. This run has captured Donny.
-
Only 56 left now!
-
Whoever hasn't got a ticket must of been breaking into a sweat trying to get one there.
-
4 showing in N44 at the moment somebody must have timed out
-
22 currently left when I have just refreshed
-
This is incredible. Hope rovers can capitalise on this feel good factor
-
What's going on, the seats keep shifting around like crazy.
-
7 left
-
It now seems the tv camera etc positions have been sorted hence why some seats are now randomly coming available
-
1 seat left up for grabs
-
Gone. Completely.
-
Reserves the seat when you add it to the basket but if it times out the ticket will show available again
-
So can we knock up that second tier before Friday :lol: :lol:
-
Mad this. Just goes to show the potential that’s there if only more of the day trippers came back on a consistent basis
-

Scaffold temporary stand on top of the SS.

Tickets are still available

Will be there +2 on Friday.
A know a good number of Wednesday fans attending on Friday. Seems like many have adopted Donny as a second club! Myself included (I even bought some merch the other day!). We have to be careful, as we might be accused of being glory fans! :laugh:
Rovers are definitely seen by the vast majority of Wednesday fans as a proper club with proper fans and who we want to see do well.

A couple of lads I work with who are Wednesday fans who have been fed up this season of the club, done quite a lot of stadium hopping and found them selfs at rovers quite a number of times this season

My first match was Accrington @ home. Simply wanted to catch some football as I won't put money in Chansiri's pocket. Found myself then going to the Barrow game and now on Friday. Not gonna lie - I've loved it. Yeah, it's much better when we're winning but living next to the ground, soaking up the brilliant atmosphere - I can't help but be drawn in.

There was a guy bought a season ticket on the end of the row near me, he’s from down South, been a Chelsea and Milwall season ticket holder, he stopped coming just before our incredible run, what a ride he has missed

Completely echo your sentiments mate
Sat in the same seat as barrow game in w30 and buzzing for this

Is it possible to re-print tickets yourself? I bought mine in person and was given the option of having them emailed or printed, so didn't receive an email copy. Stupidly, I've lost them.
Fortunately got the day off Friday so I can go down and get another copy if needs be but would be easier if I can retrieve them from the website somehow?

If I was you I would ring the ticket office and explain your situation, mine hasn’t arrived via post so I rung today and told them. They have a record of the transaction ( I have a confirmation email ) and they are going to reprint it for me to pick up on Friday.
It’s either lost in the post or there could be postman sat in my seat before I get into the ground !!!!
-
Anyone know approximately how many Crewe have sold?

I think that I printed 2 off by mistake for the Everton game and took the wrong copy. The operator asked if I had printed two copies off but I wasn’t 100% certain. As we wasted 5 minutes before kick off before getting in. I did have details on my phone and the seat in question was in the middle of the others so got in. I wouldn’t want you to be dashing to the ticket office late on as we nearly had to.
-
Anyone know approximately how many Crewe have sold?
I think they were given 1500/1600. If they don’t sell all I can’t see any more of the North stand opening due to concourse design.
-

About 1200 supposedly.
