Bradford tickets

[Mr Gillingham]

Are away tickets available for the Bradford game? I live 4 miles from the ground. Just finished a 13 hour shift at a hospital and I'll admit I can't be asked to look any further for information.

One of the reasons why paying at turnstiles is impractical for the clubs. At a ticket office the tickets are printed upon purchase. You can't expect tickets to be printed for every available seat every week just in case on the odd occasion they might be needed. That would be just wasteful and not particularly green.

Loyal1970, the club website always says how many away fans, except they haven't today. How many would you estimate? And anyone else who was there too - all serious guesses gratefully received. :thumbup:

I overheard the turnstile bloke comment to a steward that “I’ve only got 5 left” At time I thought he was referring to fivers to give as change but perhaps not. This was about 2.45 after having been sent to the Ticket Office behind their Kop by a steward who told me it wasn’t cash on the gate. When I got there and queued up I was told away fans were to pay at the gate. Seems I got in just in time

Or in this particular case not particularly maroon and amber?

It would seem that the £5 uplift in price for buying on the day didn’t deter people, if Bradford under estimated the numbers based on tickets bought in advance.

when the supervisor eventually turned up with more tickets he told me Argyle had sold 420 plus they had another 200 on the cash turnstile he had about another 50 so i would say 6 to 650ish, it did make me laugh when he said Argyle told Bradford there would be about 30 paying on the day.

or look at what we had at Bradford last season and use a bit of common sense and how much does it cost to print a ticket anyway pennies, also why do you need a ticket anyway is it so they know how many away fans there are well that hasn't worked has it.

Well the safety rules for all seated accommodation say that supporters should be issued with a ticket for a specific seat. If they aren't then only 80% of the capacity for that section is allowed to be used. That can lead to a loss in revenue if they opt for the latter.

They obviously under-estimated how many Argyle fans would be attending - because they also ran out of pies for the away fans before kick off.
