Forest replay ticket details

So all this bollocks about not giving away fans the whole of the East has suddenly been dropped for this game?
After clubs have asked for a bigger allocation and been told no it's on ITV and policy has changed.😡View attachment 17917

FA Cup has different rules on away allocations, have to give a larger allocation. That’s why you see things like Bristol taking 9000 to West Ham.

I wonder if they are all in the east or if they'll use that half the east, the SE corner, block x etc. Doesn't seem like it as it said ST holders places are kept, but there aren't many ST holders in block x etc anyway.

Correct! I think it's 15% of total capacity so if you assume that is 16,000 by my reckoning that minimum allocation is 2,400. The club can't fulfill that with half of the East so need to give them the whole stand. There is a huge latent demand for tickets for Forest games so I wouldn't be surprised if they sold the whole lot.

It's up to the people of Blackpool to support the club and sell out the home allocation. I always remember my Dad taking me to a League Cup game against Arsenal ca. 1976. It was chucking it down and wasn't fussed about going but we did and it was great to see players like Pat Jennings, David O'Leary, Malcolm McDonald and Liam Brady. We went in the Scratching Sheds, it was rammed, and a fantastic atmosphere under the floodlights. We more than held our own and I seem to remember the tie went to two replays. From that moment I was hooked and became a full fledged Seasider.
 
OMG, I've just realised with my travel costs from Yorkshire and back plus my pensioners ticket in the South, It will cost me more than if I had a padded cell eeer seat! 😱

I don't understand 1966's beef.
He pays more to sit in Block M match day tickets are more expensive in that area.
Why would they be priced the same as the rest of the ground makes no sense.

It's an extra match not budgeted for. Fans are being offered discount tickets. This could easily be done as a straight £15 across the board. No matter, I will pay the £20 so let that be the end of it.

Your also getting a discount Block M is £40 for a seat now £20.
Senior is £17.
Not sure what ST in that block but it surely must be a fiver a game more than I paid?

Works out a saving of 18p for me or are you saying ST holders should be paying less?

I was talking about one price across the ground. Even so, I am paying the £20 so end of story.

Block X is open to Pool fans.
 
Even at £20 it’s not a bad price at all but always get whinging gits.
We’re getting our tickets today and more than happy with the price.

Would imagine it’s all the east bar the last block or so. I think 3,900 was the increased allocation they’d use for many games last season.

You’d hope that although it’s not the greatest tie, it’s a good chance to progress for us with a home midweek game, and due to that many people would come out.

You never know what might happen, no matter what the chances are…

1966 will lend you some money for that lot I'm sure Wiz, but, he'll have a good moan about it on here. 😉

Just prove what a load of baloney it all was. Thousands of Wigan Carlisle fans and others denied the chance to support their team and spend money in the town for no reason at all. The amount of gate money we’ve turned down is ridiculous. Now watch us deny Bolton Portsmouth etc extra tickets.

Again… I think away allocations work differently in the FA Cup. And it’s always been this way.
 
Christ this forum is depressing sometimes.

Half of this thread is people moaning at the club about things outside its control.

If you’re going to be a miserable bastard at least inform yourself first.

Why would I do that when we already have? Bizarre!

You know exactly the point I'm making. £5 extra!!!
on top of £15. to watch and support the team you claim to be a fan of.....if you don't want to sig in the seat you normally sit in move.....it's not YOUR seat.
 
Can someone explain why I am getting charged a £2 booking fee? I’ve done print at home for the ticket - £17 total?
Logged in and bought my ST reserved seat.
It’s done this before on my account.
Am I doing something wrong?

Not doing anything wrong - that’s what always happens. Same with concert tickets. I think the only way it can be avoided is to buy in person at the ticket office.
 
Surely there’ll be a decent crowd on for this, good pricing from the club and the lads deserve a good backing after their efforts in the previous game.
 
I was there at opening time today and there was a fair few waiting, and probably 30/40 still in queue when I left

Thanks for the reply, I was assuming this.
However my mate bought his and he did not get charged a £2 booking fee.
How does that work?
 
I give up with so called supporters.

Moan moan moan about the price of a ticket.
An extra game I haven't budgeted for.
£15 is too much.
Pies are too much.
Kits are too much.
Beer is too much.

Then crying because the new £10, 000,000 training ground hasn't been built in a day and the new East Stand hasn't been built for the 6000 'new' supporters that we don't have.

Tin pot supporters will get what they deserve.

Personally I think we should be looking at Mbappe as he's out of contract at PSG this summer and we could get him on a free....mind you, he's probably another crock so shelve that.

Sancho might fit in too....we could get him cheap!!
