Spurs Date

[CheeseToastie]

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

Youll be lucky I was working in London last year and fancied a spurs europa league game loads of spare tickets but the process to get one was ridiculous tried the week before but no chance had to register online 2 weeks then had to buy the tickets then it was an absolute ball ache meaning I just didn't go watched it on tele seeing all the empty seats was ridiculous

[karldew]

Do we think this makes general sale?

[LincsRover]

Yes, imho it will make it with plenty to spare.

[rich1471]

I think the cost will put people off 2 adults and 1 kid £170 for tickets and coach it's a lot you're only missing half a day off school,but booking a holiday day or losing a day's pay soon adds up

[Draytonian III]

I think £30 for a ticket and £30 for the bus is very good value, to watch Rovers play in one of the top stadiums in Europe. Compare it to some of the away travel/grounds/tickets in the last couple of years it’s very reasonable

Exactly. Whether the price in isolation isn't unreasonable, I guess just less than half of our ST holders will want or be able to go. I'm sure there'll be plenty of tickets for general sale.

Hoping it makes general sale. Fearing it won’t.

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.

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 seem to recall the arsenal tickets being rather cheap ?

Weren’t they about £10?

Not a problem for me anymore. The daughter won't allow my youngest grandson to miss a day from school, as he's just started at secondary school. She's obviously got her priorities right.

I don't do Rovers matches without them. Disappointing, but I'm taking them to London on the train for the Leyton match in October.

We'll be at Wigan a week on Saturday as well.

I took both my boys out of school to go Arsenal,  better than a school field trip.

[Draytonian III]

I bet there will loads of “ field trips “ 3 weeks time, what is one day going to matter, put down as teacher training day

[Metalmicky]

If it reaches general sale I may try - my only worry would be getting a bus seat...

[Padge_DRFC]

This makes general sale for sure. No chance a 3/4 of our ST holders go.

[Filo]

Well there’s one here that isn’t going

I think you will get a Seat on.a Coach . They will keep adding Coaches to meet demand 1 at a time and have done it long enough to know what they are doing

If it goes to General Sale you will be able to go into Box Office and get Ticket and book Coach seat

Just be aware Orient away is on an international weekend, just incase we have 1 more called up.

[colincramb]

The usual hysteria over whether it makes general sale. It definitely does. As I’ve said, there will be loads of people that can’t make the logistics work for this one and 4000 tickets is a lot to sell - it’s at least 1500 more than we took to huddersfield the other week.

It will be fine, don’t panic. Or buy a season ticket if you are that desperate not to miss out

[idler]

Like in my case, a lot of season ticket holders will be holding back to buy tickets late to be sat with friends and relatives.
I imagine it will be chaos at 9am when general sale opens.

[Juddy]

Three of us season ticket holders on holiday so won’t be buying tickets

[RobTheRover]

Daniel Levy has just stepped down as Spurs chair.

Obviously terrified of the beating the Rovers will hand his side of primadonnas

You sure about that? 5000 seemed to overcome “logistics’ to get to Arsenal not that long ago.

There was little restriction on tickets per person @£10 per ticket. Have a look at the number of people eligible to buy tickets at each stage @ one per person.. With first hand and second hand confirmation from ST holders who won't be going, it's a fair assessment that at least half, probably more, will not be buying by the time it comes to general sale. That will leave at least 1000 for general sale.

[Padge_DRFC]

I don't even think it will sell out personally. Train sold out and like people have said getting down to London at short notice abd work midweek.

Didn't realise how low ST sales are until I read the points table and who is eligible. 25 is ST holders and above

[donnievic]

Trains never sell out only cheaper advance tickets do,you can still get down cheaper but coming back is about 3 times and prob woukd have to stand or sit in gang way lol

[EasyforDennis]

I think what will put a lot of people off is the ridiculous arrival times Spurs insist on for away fans coaches.

[IDM]

Is it Spurs or the local authorities/police making such demands.?

[normal rules]

By my reckoning around 650 tickets sold in first 10 mins .thats pretty good going considering there are only 868 eligible up to 1pm today.

[normal rules]

The initial rush has abated. Around 2/3 of those eligible have snapped up tickets so far. The next rush will be at 1pm no doubt. Based on around 5000 supporters with 25 points or more; If 2/3 of those eligible to buy tickets before gen sale do so, then I reckon there will be around 600 tickets or thereabouts remaining for gen sale. There will be people who cannot get a ticket for this game for sure. I predict it will sell out the 3900 allocation.

[rich1471]

Why have the tickets behind the goal been blocked off in block 113 only bottom 6 rows available to buy
