Fri May 20, 2011 10:17 am

The reason thet havnt sold that many tkts is that they where only aloud a max of 4 per household.

Because the majority of them live in caravans thst kept the number so low . :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

We sold 17,000 on our first day but thats because we have a better ticket system than them! When we were in the semi final and final of the FA Cup at Ninian we sold a similar amount per day.

last season we had 33,000 initial then they upped it to 35,000. We to would have had 39,000 if we had made the final. What they have done this season is allow supporters to buy club Wembley tickets in the middle tiers at £96 each. The drawback is I don't think they are allowing colors to be worn and they are trying to encourage families as apparently it is difficult to segregate the supporters up there.

You're off to the Premiership.

Well done.

I'll phone Reading, tell them not to bother turning up, since it's a shoo-in.

I think those £96 ones will be the ones which they struggle to sell.
Like it or not.
They'll shift the rest no problem.

Given the segregation issues then maybe its just as well we arent playing them.

If they are promoted, quite a few borderline (geographically) fans and plastics will surely cross the line. They are also much more of a fans club - with 20% of the shares and board representation for fans.

Why would I check there? :?

It was 3 per season ticket as stated here http://www.swanseacity.net/page/Latest/ ... 80,00.html and then a max of 4 per person when they went on general sale this morning.

32,000 sold as of lunchtime today, all online tickets gone and the queue at the ticket office closed due to high demand.
