Ticket News Forest Green Rovers 21st May away tickets-Play-off Semi Final.

[SHRIMPERR]

Does anyone know how it works if I bought two tickets in my name for Rochdale but one was for a friend? Would I be able to buy 2 again here or just the 1?

 

[seves]

726 is 14.1% of the stadium's capacity (5,147). Didn't Rochdale say they were obliged to give 15% to the away team?

Well someone should tell the green lovers that it's 15% and stop f***** us about, that's another 50ish MASSIVE shrimpers.

Considering the away end there takes roughly 1k, a total **** take

It was really hard to get any atmosphere there in March, but only 440 ish of us. At least we know we will have another 280 ish, but everyone must sing their hearts out all game.

Hmm…sounds dodgy unless they reduce the home capacity accordingly. 726 would be fine if the have overall capacity of 4,840 or less (if my maths is right!)

FGR are doing a pre-orderable programme for Wednesday https://www.fgr.co.uk/news/special-edition-programme/

Shame that it won’t let you pre-order if your account was made after the turn of the year. I get it for ticketing but this is just a programme ffs

 

[ROB]

If I remember correctly, over 800 were sold to season ticket holders so doubt will even make 2nd phase

I think you’d be able to get two again. And you definitely wouldn’t have a problem shifting the second!

Think this shows the need for the loyalty system to be reintroduced/reconsidered for away games again next season.

Probably the fairest way to do it in the circumstances, but someone who potentially only went to Rochdale away shouldn’t be more entitled to a ticket than someone who’s done 15-20 away games this season and couldn’t make Rochdale for whatever reason.

Only if we stay in the NL!!!

These tinpot clubs are happy to take Southend fan money until it's a big game.

Just no good justification for them to limit the stand capacity for the sake of it.

Also, if we split the revenue, how do they get to unilaterally decide to restrict sales?

Could be just as relevant in League 2 to be fair, there are some teams there with pretty small away allocations.

I like the fact they've done this. Siege mentality from now till the end of this season. **** the lot of them, let's get out of this league.

Think the ticketing is really poor.

Season card holders being penalised for not being able to go to an away match.

3rd priority.

I only didn't go to rochdale because I was denied the leave from work. Leave for next Wednesday agreed and now have to cancel it.

 

[kaymac]

726 is just embarrassing

Agree fully, they’ve averaged under 1,850 this season, only 6 gates over 2,000 and a high of 3,000 v Yeovil.

I'm in exactly the same position. Oh well looks like will probably be watching at roots hall

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Wouldn't expect anything else from that Vegan, Extinction Rebellion funding tosser

I think it’s probably the fairest way they could have done it for this particular game, as they don’t really have anything else to go off in terms of previous away game attendance. And most of the 726 who get tickets will be season ticket holders anyway.

Although it is a little bit ridiculous that a random Morecambe fan who bought an away ticket to do a vlog at Rochdale is more entitled to a Forest Green ticket than someone who has put £400 into the club for a season ticket and potentially done a number of away games as well.

 

[OldBlueLady]

That's more than we were led to believe, definitely seems like FGR don't want to encourage the support we give our team to count against them.

It might be 15% once directors, sponsors and players’ allocation which don’t go on general sale are added.

On an open terrace the noise doesn’t carry.

The only way it could be improved is by disqualifying everyone who complained about the away points scheme from a couple of years ago being a waste of time as we’d never need it.

ps I doubt that Morecambe blogger is going to Forest Green so that will be one less ticket required.
