JUST GOT HOME

[GregStarz]

Why didnt they do it for non season ticket holders that when you get your ticket for hull you also get your man utd one?

Would save so much hassle!

 

[lucus]

Is there any update on the queue size please?

Do we have part of the North Bank tomorrow night...

Hull game is fully sold out!

We have the whole corner of the north bank, hence why even if you have a hull ticket you aren't guaranteed a Man Utd one.

Why does the club do things like that? If they know the north west corner is not available for the Man U game then why not state that tickets from that section for the Hull match will not be valid for a Man U ticket.

Now you have a position where there's going to be plenty of p1ssed off people on Wednesday, especially if they have queued for many hours not to get a ticket.

Exactly, I can see it kicking off or getting a bit nasty!

there will be around 2,000 ****ed off people!

Don't know where you get 2000 from, from what Dave Scriven was saying it's more like a few hundred. Now not everyone who is going to the Hull game will be able to go to the Man U game, so I don't see the overlap as being massive. Also, I was told that the club are going to make every effort to have as many seats as possible available, including minimising the segregation. Also imagine the extra time it would take to check every ticket to see if it came from a "black listed" section before issuing the MsnUre ticket.

Let's see how it works out before we get on the Club's back.

Because it would penalise people who had bought their tickets before we knew about the ManUre game. Johny Come Lately types would get a ticket up front, fans who had already purchased their tickets would have to scramble for the leftovers.

Well..

We have 7000 ST im told
We have 2000 Man Utd coming down
That leaves around 2,500 seats?

The 2 blocks in the corner wont be open for Man Utd but they are open for hull, I would guess that holds around 5-700 people?

another mini idea to do with card sales, when I was doing my christmas shopping in Woolworths the other year the till queue was huge so they had a girl with a card machine on a trolley going up and down the queue serving people as they queues. I know theres not much calling for this but if we thrash Man U five nil and draw another big gun in the next round it might help speed things up a bit.

Whilst holders of ticket stubs for the Hull City game may receive first priority after season ticket holders, it has been made quite clear on this forum for the past few days that there is no guarantee of purchasing a ticket for the Manchester United game; however I think Scriv might need to think about putting such information on the official site just to clarify the position and therefore let as many people as possible understand that there is no binding covenant!

It has been confirmed by Scriv that there are around 5,500 season ticket holders this season.

It has been confirmed that Manchester United have received 1,800 tickets for the North Stand.

The working capacity of Roots Hall is around 11,500; that leaves around 4,000 tickets for Hull City tickets holders and the general public.

However you slice the numbers if they have sold a section of the ground for the Hull match that isn't available for the Man U game then there's going to be disappointment.

Take away the segregation and the 2 corner blocks that wont be open (silly i know) that leaves it at arounf 3000 / 3500 is then.

Bit better than I thought

Of course there will be. But the point is that the club shouldn't hide away from the fact that non-season ticket holders who attend the Hull City game are not guaranteed a ticket for the Manchester United game. It's known to us here on ShrimperZone, thanks to Scriv, but as many people as possible should be aware so we don't the tired old "club are crap" comments come Thursday evening.

I'm pretty sure the 11,500 is the working capacity of the stadium with the necessary segregation and corner blocks taken into consideration. I believe the actual capacity is around 12,300 but don't quote me on that; I'm just going by information given to me a couple of years ago by a member of the ground staff.

 

[Firestorm]

Personally, although it is unworkable, I would like to see anyone who bought their Hull Ticket before last Tuesday, being guaranteed a Man U ticket similar to the way the season ticket holders have had theirs guaranteed.

that way anyone who was going to a bottom of the table clash on a tuesday evening , regardless, would get the acknowledgement

(The payment date is on the stub, so it could be workable, those with a stub dated before 24/10 tickets on sale wednesday then a free for all for the rest of the Hull ticket holders on thursday. loyal fans duly sorted....)

Not sure I agree with that.

Some people work away, been on holiday etc etc

 

[glentheblue]

Just want to say i no a couple of mates that have had a hull ticket for weeks,and they have decided to leave it i think, due to not getting time of work and the joke of a que that will be involved to get tickets,so there gona watch it on sky,they have four tickets between them and i no two of them are going for tickets so how many more people like this.............................if i didnt have season ticket dont think i could be bothered to que if i wernt garunteed a ticket myself imo.

 

[Upminster Blue]

I know a number of season ticket holders and non-season ticket holders who have Hull tickets who aren't going to the Man Ure game (for various reasons, eg because they can't make it, it's too expensive, it's live on Sky, can't que for 3 hours, not fussed about seeing Man Ure reserves etc etc). This may be one of the reasons why "only" 2,000 tickets were sold yesterday.

I confidently predict that everyone who has a Hull ticket stub and wants a Man Ure ticket will get one. I also reckon that there will be a few left for general sale but dont quote me if I'm wrong!

My thoughts exactly, if I didn't have a season ticket and a friend who is willing to get my ticket I wouldn't bother. Give me Macclesfield away any day of the week - I genuinely mean that.

The hype is really starting to pee me off - a success for (Premiership) marketing and commerciality over substance. Ultimately, we're still paying to see two teams of eleven. It's not proper football as far as I'm concerned. And as for being surrounded by plastic Mau Ure fans ...

However, I am looking forward to giving sourface Alex Ferguson (I refuse to call him "Sir") and Ronaldo plenty of stick
