Seems to be high demand for tickets from Forest fans. No idea why tickets went on sale late but suspect we’ll see a fair few in the home end depending on whether we release an additional allocation like we did for Blackburn and Hudds.

Don’t you need purchase history for home tickets?

So no chance other than hospitality maybe.

It was Barnsley not Udders.😉
No chance they will be in the home end.👍

Why aren’t we letting Forest have 3000 like we gave a few others. Why do we turn income down? Ridiculous.

Doesn't work like that you have to physically print off tickets and send to the away club your not going to post 3000 and then have to return a load back.
Let them sell out first and then request more same as we did at Stoke and Blackburn etc at ours.
 
They're not a happy bunch presently due to Sky, who have moved their away ixtures against Luton and West Brom from 3pm to one early start at 12.30 and one late start at 8 pm. I honestly don't blame them for getting angry about it. Once again SKY dictating to the Football Authorities.
 
We're averaging 10k home fans, a good number for us, and a financially sustainable one for the championship.

We aren't going to materially improve on that unless we somehow went up and the usual suspects jumped onboard. This was one of the reasons not giving the nobbers extra was short sighted.

To not maximise away followings is nonsense.
 
6 of us coming up on friday for the game £24 each. a baptism of fire for our dutch friends. Staying at the Bloomfield brewhouse till monday, going to be a heavy session especially with the auld firm game on sunday too.
 
Got a Forest fan with me. Doubt I’ll let him sing/chant. He is a copper though. So, I do expect him to behave! 🤞😆🤫

Do you not think its because we have history with them at Bloomfield Rd 🤔
They won't be bringing oap's and agrivated women in Bowler hats
 
I know a few Forest fans who are going in hospitality. They’re going up from Weston on the piss. They’re decent blokes though who we’ve reminded that at least they can watch a decent side at Bloomfield Road😁!
 
With the game on Sky, Peyton prices and 7 more fixtures in April, I doubt the demand will exceed allocation.

We seem to be dancing to the tune of the police with the ground situation & they have a cheek given how they’ve policed games.

If the club was dancing to the tune of the police I doubt we'd be playing Birmingham at home on a Bank Holiday. Unless that is the police are a bit clueless when it comes to policing high risk matches....... Oh! hang on.

Good point about Bank Holiday. Maybe it’s just me being cynical about the police.

However, it will be interesting to see how they cope at our next few games.

Disagree, the big games are exactly when the casual fans, floaters etc want to come.

If we have any hope for growing the fanbase we have to accommodate them when they arrive.
 
Quite a few tickets available in Q, X and W but for a televised game that's a decent effort for ticket sales from us 👏👏👏
 
Love to know what Forest's loyalty points are based on. For instance if you got a loyalty point for buying a home shirt and an away short then I'd have 2 points - however haven't been to many away games and so have hardly any points. Should buying tickets for an away game where no money is coming in to the club be worth more than buying a home shirt when it comes to ticket allocation?

Absolutely. Away fans travelling up and down the country deserve first refusal on away tickets.

We have an away membership scheme which is capped at 2500. Essentially you pay 30 quid on top of your season ticket and for games with an allocation of 2500 or above you’re guaranteed a ticket. Anyone can buy an away membership but those 2500 that had one the previous season get first dibs on renewal. The few that remain if people don’t renew go on sale around august time and get snapped up.

For allocations smaller than 2500 it’ll start on away members with 10 loyalty points for example, which means they’ve been to 10 away days and then cascade down 8, 5, 3 etc.

For Saturday, because of the good allocation it went on sale to all away members regardless of points first then to season ticket holders with 10+ away games, then 8 etc.

Away membership is a bit controversial as some people who don’t regularly travel away get them each year for the big away days (derby, Blackpool, cup games etc) and it means a lot of season ticket holders who do most away games miss out but it’s a extra 75k of income for very little effort for Forest
