" VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING "

Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:02 pm

Were in the Carling Cup Semi-Final, 4th in the League, Great manager and team. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

We have drawn CRYSTAL PALACE in the Semi-Final,one round from Wembley. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Yet ticket sales for the away and home legs are not good at all, up to today. :cry: :cry:

The tickets for our home leg are priced well below our league prices. :ayatollah:
Some will say money is tight and I can totally agree with them on that, But and I mean but, say it had been MAN UTD over two games and it was £40 a ticket, how many would we have sold then ?

Surely it should not be about the opposition, it should be about CARDIFF CITY. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


PS.

Palace are selling their tickets very fast. :(

100% correct Annis, will be a different story if we win over the two legs.

Looking forward to both legs.

To be fair Annis times are very hard and just before Christmas. Maybe after Christmas the tickets will start to fly as people use there Crimbo money to buy tickets. At the moment there is no rush. Cant wait for Palace away mate.

I just looked at our fixture list for the next few weeks to see if I can squeeze in a day off for the Palace game .......this is going to put me well into my overdraft :lol: ...but in all seriousness, I will have to sacrifice the West Brom game and 1 days holiday to make it to Palace (as I work away)......I will try though :D :D :D .......

You might be all right, once Xmas is out the way, it might be like the New year sales, tickets flying out. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Blame my mother on Palace away, been begging to go but being in school is a b*stard when it comes to midweek away games.

Re: " VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING "

Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:57 pm

i got both my tickets but moneys tight for most people at this time of year. ticket sales will soar in the new year.

Re: " VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING "

Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:58 pm

theres an awful lot of people who i know havnt bought their tkts yet but are doing them before the 30th, i think people are waiting for another pay day.. i know i am!

paid tommorow, do my ticket then!

Re: " VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING "

Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:59 pm

I'm confident sales will boom after Christmas. I am waiting until the New Year to get my ticket and I am adamant thousands of others are in a similar position. Others might just be lazy and not got round to it yet. I wouldn't look at the current statistics with too much concern right now.

Annis,
A lot of people, like me, are waiting until the ST seats go onto general sale. Me and my mate are moving to a different part of the Canton for this game with 6 others, so i'll have to wait until reserved ST seats are let go. Non ST holders will be doing the same as there will be more seats available after 30th December. Just look at how the Blackburn game sold. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Your right, it was just because today I was down the club and everyone was a bit shocked how slow the sales were, but plenty of time yet. :ayatollah:
