With the Peterborough game being cheap prices

@ryanmurrant: Posh have requested a further 1,000 tickets after selling their initial allocation of 1,000. We need 8,000 #DRFC now…!

be nice to get a regular update from the club in the lead up to show how tickets are selling

its also a good test of how good their marketing skills are

GazLaz · « **Reply #2 on** March 04, 2015, 02:00:49 pm by GazLaz »

We are up to 6000.

IDM · « **Reply #3 on** March 04, 2015, 02:01:43 pm by IDM »

It has the potential to be.

We had 6000 or so home fans for the Colchester game, and Posh are direct rivals for the Play Offs. Perhaps a win on Saturday next will bring a few more?

But for those who genuinely can't afford the football regularly, this represents a great opportunity - and will probably be a good game too!

I bought ten and gave them to the club to use for good cause . If you are an exile and can't get to the match it is a way to support and hope the ten folk cheer louder than you could !

If every fan bought ONE extra £5 ticket for a mate ... now THAT would be fan power .

Taking my under 12s & a few parents. Too good an offer to miss this one, well done Rovers.

The biggest crowd of the season will be scunny at home. we need to win to get in the play offs and they need to win to stay up. We go on to win 3-0 a jamie coppinger hat trick to cement his name in history even more.

I've bought 3 extras for my son, who is visiting me, and 2 mates from my village. Great initiative and hopefully it will get the audience it deserves.

My lad has won an attendance award at school. A free ticket to this match😄

If we can't attract 8000 home fans when the tickets are so cheap and we're in the play offs then its worrying to say the least.

If we all bought 10 Tickets could we get an attendance of say 15002 - for a new Record ?

Nope due to the seats being taken out under the big screen it wont be broken any time soon

colincramb · « **Reply #17 on** March 05, 2015, 09:23:35 am by colincramb »

Don't think they lost many seats due to the screen did they? Surely no more than 50/60 I would have thought?

dknward2 · « **Reply #18 on** March 05, 2015, 07:00:14 pm by dknward2 »

Max capacity is now around 14900 i believe with little segegartion

:welcome:My lad has a friend who is a posh fan, he is coming to game, but it seems there are a lot of posh fans not aware of the cheap tickets.

dknward2 · « **Reply #20 on** March 05, 2015, 09:10:40 pm by dknward2 »

They have sold over 1000 and have requested more. I am sure that more will come if they do well

Not any more it's not. Segregation and the installation of that screen - in case you haven't noticed the changes at the ground and the contents of the discusson in this thread.

We all owe a favour to someone somewhere . Invite that person to join you for an afternoon for the Peterborough game .

colincramb · « **Reply #24 on** March 06, 2015, 10:03:59 am by colincramb »

It's a great idea in theory, problem is, I've struggled to give away free tickets when I've had them. Says all you need to know really

idler · « **Reply #25 on** March 06, 2015, 10:26:14 am by idler »

Bradford City could possibly be a contender as well. Bank Holiday and I can see them easily selling out their allocation. Should both clubs maintain form and positions it could be a vital match.

IDM · « **Reply #26 on** March 06, 2015, 10:26:24 am by IDM »

It's not the club's fault if folks don't want to come despite the offers (not saying you meant that colincramb).

IMHO the best way to get crowds back is decent results and performances - over a long period.

I give my purchased extra tickets back to the club ( I bought ten for the Peterborough game ) . They find VERY GOOD CAUSES for the tickets . Mine are all going to a hospice this time and Charles Swallow assures me the matron will organise the distribution . If you can't give them away because nobody wants them give them back to the club for distribution .
