Title: Ticket sought for crewe away
Post by: normal rules on May 02, 2024, 02:59:13 pm
Probably one of my more pointless threads but if you don’t ask and all that.
Just one ticket sought if anyone has one and can’t make. Me and my brother have tickets. Seeking one for my lad who is a London based exile. Can collect in Donny area anytime or alternatively pick up in crewe with cash of course.
And I’ll happily pay a little over the odds so that a pint or two can be enjoyed in return for your consideration.

One for me too.

My son has got one but I'll be driving him to Crewe and would love to join him rather than wait in a pub in Crewe.

I just wonder how many we could have sold if numbers were unlimited.
Me and Grandson missed out too. Despite having 68 points between us.

Any chance the other stand will be opened

I doubt it, I think it’s already on sale to home supporters.

I live in Ireland. If any of you want to try home end, PM me and I could share my address if it's any use. Could pretend your a member of the Motley Crewe in exile over here? Could be worth a try?

I've created an account with Crewe but it doesn't let new account holders buy tickets

Remember my dad in the home end for Mansfield away in our league winning season, he jumped up like a lunatic when blundell scored the 2nd and I thought he was gonna get his throat cut!

Just had a look on the Crewe ticket site and they have sold out one side behind the goal but the other one behind the goal has loads leftover and the main stand looks about 3/4 sold.

Seems like they aren't bothered

Crazy that they aren't selling out but there's a real frenzy over here

Amazing that people call our club tinpot over tickets but we could easy sell another 500 at Crewe and they would rather have a half empty stadium

I'm gutted I didn't get a ticket but have no problem with Crewe not giving us anymore, they did give us a fair amount and they use behind both goals for home fans and have done for years.

Pick a hotel or B&B address in the area, Middlewich or Nantwich and say you earn there for the week end and fancied a game as a neutral. That might work, more so if you have ID that doesn’t have a DN postcode. Alternatively if you are dressed smart ask a Crewe fan queuing for a ticket if he would buy an extra one. I’m sure one would do that if you look respectable. I would if the roles were reversed.

normally have stewards before the turnstile asking to see tickets I think

 Like been said pick a hotel and say your in area or even a ground hopper before you go to watch Bolton/barnsley game tomorrow lol

Its very last minute and I'm certainly not dressed for it but I'm thinking of trying my luck at getting in the Crewe end. I'm actually at work today and I've found myself in Middlewich, just 4 mins away from Jct 18 of M6. I reckon I could just about get away with going missing for 3 hrs.
I know it's a long shot but there's £20 in it for anyone who can pick me up and then drop me off again after the game, postcode CW10 0QJ. Alternatively I'm looking at getting a taxi.

Update. Got in literally no questions asked! Didn't even ask my name or where I'm from, in fact put me down as Andy Davies whoever he is!
Sat in the big stand opposite our support who sounded majestic, particularly in the second half! Can't wait for Friday night now!

Did you go the away end first and try and get a ticket? Saw a fella talking to stewards and then coming back.from the box-office with  a ticket.

I went to Crewe's ticket office as soon as I got there to see if I could get a ticket anywhere in the ground. They wouldn't entertain me at all.

With the amount of police and stewards and how the fans were funnelled in towards the turnstiles we thought it was an impossible task getting in.
I say we, I met up with one of our most notable forum users and had a few pints with him in the retro bar first.
I won't name him as he might want to keep quiet about it.

He bought us some Crewe lottery tickets so that we could flash them to stewards who were checking tickets, got past them and frisky stewards.
The plan then was to bribe the turnstile operatives but all four of the old boys were having non of it. Fair play like.
Anyway, with chances fading away of watching our beloved team, a chink light shone in the form of the big double gates and Ben Parkinson.

The gates were open slightly so Ben could come back out for whatever reason and that was our way in.
My knees and ankles are like wood nowadays so I haven't moved that fast for several years.
Should I feel guilty for cheating the system? Possibly, but I don't.
I wasn't going to drive my son who had a ticket all that way to sit in a shit hole pub in Crewe and watch it in near silence.
RTID!!

No I was happy to settle for a seat anywhere although I did stop and ask the female steward stood by the turnstile on Gresty Rd at the away end the likelihood of me getting a ticket to the match. She pointed me further down to the ticket office
 
By that stage my thinking was, I've put my job on the line, and I've paid an arm and a leg to park, I ain't missing the match now!
