Any idea when we should expect a confirmed date?  Trying to organise work around it.

£30 a ticket

[Jenny]

The whole safe standing thing is stressful when you've got kids to consider.... My lad is desperate to go, but he's small and no way would he see if people are standing. Happy to buy a ticket low down (with a shit view no doubt) but he doesn't have as many points so I'm not sure what happens if the front 6 rows have sold out by the time his sale window comes round.

This is what spurs say re the safe standing:

Your Club will be offered the option to allocate supporters who would prefer to sit during the match to seats in Block 118. Please contact your Club if you prefer to sit and have not been offered this choice.


I wonder why we've decided to aim for rows rather than a block?

[TonySoprano]

3900 ? Seems very low

[Filo]

3900 ? Seems very low

That was my thoughts, I’m sure we took more than that to Arsenal, that allocation is smaller than our full away allocation. They’ll only get around 40k on the night, plenty of spare capacity to give us more

[normal rules]

3900 is not 10%of the capacity. That’s just the lower tier I think .

[Jenny]

I'd be surprised if any rovers fan who wants a ticket doesn't manage to get one with that allocation.

[Filo]

3900 is not 10%of the capacity. That’s just the lower tier I think .

Capacity 62,850, there’ll be 22k empty seats

[donnievic]

I wonder if rovers wanted any more then they maybe had to buy the full allocation

[idler]

I’ve just spoken to the ticket office and they confirmed that 3,900 is all that we will be getting. My son-in-law who watches about 6 Rovers games a season wants to go so I can’t book mine until general sale. I would also prefer to sit due to a dodgy Knee but imagine those seats will go fairly quickly.
Might have to sit with their fans if the worst comes to the worst.

[Filo]

If thats the full allocation Spurs must have reduced the capacity for the game to 39k, or Rovers have requested a reduced allocation

[TonySoprano]

Did they say why we were only getting 3900 ?

[idler]

Did they say why we were only getting 3900 ?

No just that is all Spurs were sending.
Maybe in their eyes opening up another block for a few hundred extra isn’t worth it. Amazing when you think back to just rolling up and paying in past years.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

From what I understand, the next band up for allocations would be 5800 and if we don't sell them all @£30 then we still have to pay a percentage of the unsold tickets.

We tried to negotiate on ticket price with Spurs, quoting what we were charged by Arsenal, Everton etc, but they were clearly not prepared to reduce. On that basis, it was felt the 3900 allocation was the more realistic option.

In my opinion, I agree with them, given the price, the logistics etc, I seriously doubt we would sell anywhere near 5800.

[Donnywolf]

So , I have myself and 5 others in my Friends and Family

I think 3 will go and have almost the same Points but does that mean I can't buy 3 at the same time so we are together ( as indeed we are every Home Game )

You'd have to buy them at the same time as the person with the lowest number of points.

Dodgy firestick anyone?

Thanks Jenny I have 58 at the moment and the others will be around same but will check.

Cheers again jt

£30 a ticket

Totally worth it. £30 to watch Rovers in a garden shed at Mansfield, ridiculous. £30 to watch us in one of the best sporting arenas in the world - totally cool with me.

[LincsRover]

Plenty of points and desperate to go but I have a work meeting in Barcelona which I can’t get out of. Typical, first decent draw for ages and I can’t go! I know a few people who also can’t get out of work commitments that night so I’m sure there’ll be plenty of tickets go on general sale. 

[Stewmaiden79]

Similar here Lincs Rover. Had it been Tuesday I could get the time off, Wednesday it’s a no. Nightmare. Only option is to buy a ticket on the off chance things change at work and I can leave early.

[colincramb]

The allocation we have got is perfectly fine I think. It’s not the easiest place to get to and back from via public transport and the coaches are leaving Donny at 1pm - that rules out school age children and a lot of people that aren’t able to leave work early. That’s before you consider the impact on work the next day

I'd have to disagree. I think its a terrible allocation.
Won't make general sale and a large amount of fans will miss out. Even those on the fence folks who attend games once in a blue moon, this is the sort of game that captures the imagination and turns them into more frequent attendees.

That makes sense.

For me arsenal was a much bigger draw. I booked 2 days off for that one. Spurs at £30 isn't worth it.

I agree 100%.

I can get a ticket early doors given my points, but my son wants to go so it's a wait to general sale and then get  two.

Based on Arsenal away I fancy 3,900 won't be enough

I'll be very surprised if it doesn't make general sale. It's not like you an choose to claim 4500 or 5000, the next band on offer is 5800.

As it is, those regulars who have earned the right will have first choice but already, you've read a snapshot of reasons why folk won't be able to go.

IF there's demand above 3900, I guess a large proportion would be made up of irregular day trippers because it's Spurs at a sw**ky stadium, not primarily because it's Doncaster Rovers.

[drfcsteve]

I would guess they’ll be rovers fans in the home end.

Not sure on this, my Spurs friends are planning getting tickets to boost their points for future ticket purchases.
