[The General]

The claim club we've sold 600+ already. Its obviously all seating and was just wondering whether the tickets are numbered or is it a sit anywhere you like type thing?!

Cheers

Dunno, I got mine from Manky Dons themselves. Can I just check we're in the West Stand as I don't want to be sitting with the Franchise scumbags....I gotta live here remember!

Purchased mine this morning and the lady in the ticket office gave me block, row and seat numbers of my tickets.

It took me 1.5 hours to get through on the phone, I was 40 in line when I joined the queue! She said it had been manic this morning with the queues going out of the shop. Could be a good 2000 making trip?

I just tried and was number30 in teh queue. I haven't got time to sit on the fone at the moment. Slightly worried I won't be able to get a ticket!

I'm boycotting it!

I'll be missing my first game in ages (barring the wife putting her foot down against Brentford), as in NY for St Patricks. Sounds like there'll be an excellent number roaring the Blues on!

 

[Its Only A Game]

i phoned about 9.15 this morning and was 3rd in queue. Sounds like allocated seating from the questions i was asked.

 

[The General]

Looks like we'll be getting them in advance then!

Cheers chaps.

Just rang MK box office to check I'm in the right section and apparantly we didn't want all 2200 tickets....I reckon then you can get them from MK box office: 01908 609000...no waiting required 'cos they got no fans....

 

[SUFCFARAWAY]

just tried again! 50 in the queue. Give me back the good old days when you could turn up at roots Hall 15 minutes before kick off and get a good seat and walk striahg through without queuing and phone up the ticket office and get straight through!! Bring back League 2 football!

Right, here's my understanding.

Definitely allocated seating and I would expect it to be close to a sell out, if not a sell out, for away fans.

They are currently selling seats in the stand behind the goal.  This is an uncovered temporary stand and I would estimate this holds 1,500 or so.  When this is full, I think MK Dons will give an allocation in the adjoining (again temporary and uncovered) stand along the side.  I guess this is where the extra 700 allocation comes from, to take our total allocation to 2,200, and I would also guess that MK Dons will not be sending these tickets to us until the initial 1,500 are close to being sold.

Have a look at the picture on the officials site within the "MK Dons tickets go on general sale" article for the two stands I'm referring to.

My tickets are in the West Stand, not the North which is the "temporary one".

 

[MK Shrimper]

Oh yeah, if you go up the A5, instead of the M1 you'll see the new stadium. Trust me, you'll pi$$ yourselves at the size of it and the crowd they'll get on the 18th.

Sorry folks just cant bring myself to go, the thought of putting money into a franchise football club is to much to bear.Its a cop out I know and I have wrestled with my conscience over it (won by the way 2 falls to a submission).Normal service resumed for the bournemouth game.

The West Stand is also a temporary stand (and is the one behind the goal). If we sell out the West, we may also get some of the North Stand.

Away end (West Stand) holds between 2,200 and 2,400.

Funny little stand in middle opposite main stand could be used as "overflow" if necessary.

The one they hire from Silverstone?

When me Axe and Barris went, it was all very bizarre, Alistair Campbell in the crowd, Winkleman trying to gee the crowd up, and people applauding corners!

Check out the Indian restaurant near the ground - they serve beer and you can tuck into a nice Indian at the same time
