What will be the maximum amount of tickets each individual can purchase?
My guess will be 2 adults and 2 kids for each adult making the purchase from any one address.

We know one thing for sure, if you are wanting to become a new paying customer/fan you ain't coming to the Crewe home Game. Gavin and Shaun and his new oppo don't want you there!!!!!!

See the other thread - PURCHASE HISTORY -
but basically I went fo the ground today to register family that I usually buy tickets for. I was flatly told no purchase history no ticket for Crewe at home. They didnt say I could buy any extra, cos obviously I have purchase history. They would unfortunately have to miss out. My grandson is greatly disappointed. But not only that, if no new supporters can buy, it seems like a bit of an own goal. I don’t think it will be a sell out now, but who knows. I could be wrong

Turn up on the day with family. It won’t be a sell out. There will be tickets available. You will probably get to sit together in the north stand. Unless someone knows different, I’d imagine there will be on the day ticket sales.

I’m unsure that club does not want new supporters. Of course it does. However I believe there may be strict guidelines about ticketing set by the EFL. And if that’s the case then it’s perhaps a little archaic. It’s not about who to sell tickets to, it’s more about who NOT to sell tickets to.
That said , this isnt the 70’s when it was commonplace for away supporters to infiltrate home areas for the sake of a scrap. Those days have gone thankfully, although there are still dinosaurs out there who sensationalise those days.
I’d hope rovers TO will be open Friday for walk ups. And they take the opportunity to get these people registered on the database for future reference. There are a lot of people getting themselves in a lather about tickets for this game. It won’t sell out. There will be tickets available on match day. And DRFC would be foolish to turn people away willing to pay for tickets.

Let’s see how many people couldn’t get a ticket, who wanted one, if the attendance is less than 15,002 less any segregation.

Some people are making an awful lot of assumptions in this particular thread and getting upset about things that haven't happened yet.

The club will of course be trying to sell as many tickets as it can, but its not always about what they want.

The club are aware, obviously, that the software they have been using is sometimes not the best. But changing one platform for another is a) expensive and b) time consuming. It will be addressed though.

Everyone needs to calm down a bit. It won’t sell out. Our ground IS too big for us - that is a fact. That’s fine though as it means we can keep growing. Then one day we can build that extension to the South Stand.

I'm surprised why you are skeptical as to why you think we won't/shouldn't sell out. We should sell out, but hopefully as the week goes on we will give everyone the chance to get a ticket, rather than hinder the process.

At the end of the day the ground holds 14,000 odd, it’s been half full/empty all season, the club can’t be expected to have a bigger ground for one game every 5/10 years. I know people have difficult situations; money, work, health, exiled etc but what are club meant to do? Yeah there’s been some blips but what organisation doesn’t have blips in exceptional circumstances?

We’ve had important games before which haven’t been a total sell-out with every seat occupied. So, based on that evidence, I’m saying we won’t sell every available ticket for this game. It’ll be a big crowd obviously, but most likely not a sell-out.

I’ll be delighted if I’m wrong.

Perhaps it’s something to do with all the numpties who spilled onto the pitch at the Barrow game. I suspect the club will be under severe scrutiny at the Crewe home leg and that any recurrence re pitch invasions will result in severe sanctions being imposed.

But they will when it goes on general sale. It will probably be a minimum of 4 that you can buy.I hardly doubt they are going to only allow 1 per person! You can’t tell me they are going to ask for the names of the 3 others you are bringing. It will all be fine on Monday, hence all the comments about people getting their knickers in a twist for nothing!

A couple of question for anyone in the know, as to be perfectly honest I can't be arsed searching through to find the info    :s

- What time on Monday is online general sale? I could buy now, but want to sit with mates so need availability in South or 3 together elsewhere.

- What's the crack with the remainder of North Stand?

Not in the know just overheard Tracey this morning, 9am online on Monday or 10 for in person or telesales I'm 90% sure.

North Stand will be opened apparently if everywhere else is looking on the full side, they can only release tickets on a block by block basis as it's steward dependent and to paraphrase, "I can't have two people sat way over there on their own".

Now to not post for another several months.  :laugh:

That is truly not the case. I have backed the club to the hilt during these difficult few years of transition, especially against a certain group on social media. Am I glad David Blunt is no longer in charge, yes. I called him out for long before most did for not showing an interest and making poor decisions time and time again. The club is well run and I have the upmost respect for those that do work hard. hopefully we've got a memorable few weeks to behold on all fronts, just like we've had for the last three months and I'll be there supporting them as I  have always done.

We know one thing for sure, if you are wanting to become a new paying customer/fan you ain't coming to the Crewe home Game. Gavin and Shaun and his new oppo don't want you there!!!!!!

So you’re saying the chief executive of Doncaster Rovers football club, doesn’t want fans there for the Crewe game???

This is perhaps the most ridiculous statement I’ve ever read on this forum.

I'm saying at present, from testimonies on here that people can't get tickets for new fans due to not being registered, obviously I hope that changes. That also goes for some life long fans who are now longer on the system. It will be what it will be, I've purchased an extra ticket for some who is registered on my season tickets and influenced six others to attend who I will be assisting purchasing tickets tomorrow, I'll have done my bit. Hopefully everyone who wants a ticket will get one!

Regardless of the ticket situation, and I admit it’s not been a good look for the club, that said the game won’t sell out. Everyone who wants to attend will be able too.

From the uptake of people I know who are going on Friday and didn't/couldn't attend the barrow game, I believe it's a good barometer to realistically expect that a sell out is possible. It will only take another 3000 to achieve this. I do believe it is possible. Hopefully a decent result tomorrow will influence this. I've said enough on the matter now, let's hope a great atmosphere will be had for the home and away legs. I'm sure that will be the case.

Perhaps it’s something to do with all the numpties who spilled onto the pitch at the Barrow game. I suspect the club will be under severe scrutiny at the Crewe home leg and that any recurrence re pitch invasions will result in severe sanctions being imposed.

Pitch invasions all over the place yesterday. Hard to imagine we're distinct from dozens of other clubs.

It would look pretty damn good if we could get a serious chunk of the north stand full

OK, guys, CC was right, there's no need to panic, and I was as guilty as anyone. I spoke to Donna in the TO a while ago, and she said that there'll be lots of seats available tomorrow. She added that around 6000 tickets have been sold so far.

However, she also confirmed that it'll be just one ticket per person registered in the system.

You’re never going to please everyone and I don’t believe for one moment the club doesn’t want new supporters, more that there’s a priority to existing (ie registered) ones.  I’ve not had a ST since the covid season, so I’d have to wait until tomorrow and hope I can get me a ticket.  If folks want to buy more for unregistered friends or family, yes that’s great but might not be immediately possible.

It’s been the case for a long time too - I wasn’t a ST holder in 2005/6, meaning to get a ticket for the Arsenal game I also had to buy one for the Swansea (?) fixture which I couldn’t actually attend.  Nonetheless it’s what I had to do, and I was able to pass on the ticket for Swansea to someone else.

Feels like a mistake to do that, I just can't understand it. Let's hope the team get the crowd they deserve.  Lots to sell by the sounds of it.

If Crewe had sold out I could see why they would do it, but while Crewe fans can still buy tickets for the away end I don’t get why you’d have to be previously registered. As well as friends & family of supporters, there are fans from other South Yorkshire clubs who have taken an interest in our run of form and with the game being on Friday night, if they fancied it they’d maybe buy a ticket. Just doesn’t make sense at this time to me.

Should I be able to buy tickets now online as it's not letting me?

Looks like they've done the close of play reconciliation to free up untaken season member seats, so what we see now is what there is. About 1200 seats in regular areas before opening up the north. I'm guessing around 2800 if we leave a buffer block either side the away fans. But could probs squeeze up to another 3600 from now.

Not for me it isn't. It allows you to choose a seat but not purchase.

Someone posted above that they overheard a Tracey say 9.00am Monday for online. The club's website says different hence why I stayed up until after midnight to try to ensure I could get tickets.

All sorted. Looks like it came online at 9.00am exactly as people were saying.
