Approx 29,000 sold to date for Monday's Play Off Game

[Simster]

Didn't stop loads of Arsenal fans last year

Apples and oranges - Arsenal are a FAR smaller club than Sheffield Wednesday.

 

[WoodyOwl]

Major cup final for you, I guess.

And why not, better this than what Bolton or Charlton have gone through this season - something I can remember very well, this is our best side since the mid nineties! Its been a crap 20 years.

I think the Monday night is the killer with extra time and penalties possible, which could mean a 10.30pm finish which with work/school the next day will cause issues, particularly if travelling some distance

its a play off to get to the premier league for christs sake !!!

 

[alfredmizen]

That's an interesting debate in itself. What first-leg circumstances would cause the occasional fan to come along on Monday? I'm not sure I'd want to part with c£35 if I perceived the game to be a bit of a dead rubber, as it would be if we had a handsome first leg lead (which we won't, clearly, but let's hypothesise). In those circumstances, I reckon I'd be thinking "I'll save my money for Wembley".

its £25 mate.

Interestingly SW home tickets went on sale on 30th April to ST holders and general sale on 9th May. Not surprising they have sold out before us as ours aren't on general sale until tomorrow.

 

[Was not Was]

The first leg isn't sold out, though. Albion just tweeted (at 10.39):

There is no screening of the play-off semi-final first leg at the Amex, as tickets remain available for the match at Hillsborough.

I for one was struggling with enthusiasm, but yesterday booked my ST seat - I realised that we still have a great chance, the boys need support, and if nothing else, they need thanking for a tremendous season, whatever the outcome on Monday.

 

[Triggaaar]

Logged on to the Ticket Site this morning and there are so many tickets available still available - ground will only be half full at this rate.

It's not yet clear that come Monday we'll have a squad of players to choose from.

 

[Triggaaar]

I wouldn't worry to much guys, some of us found it impossible to get a ticket in the away end so luckily enough the home end is much easier so we can help boost numbers.

But Brighton's attendances are higher than yours, every year

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

I didn't know when the STH cut-off was and only picked mine up a short while ago. A fair few folk might be in the same boat.

Yes exactly the same. Only realised this morning and phoned up immediately to secure my ST seat

 

[Blue3]

We are away on holiday from Monday so sadly two of us ST holders missing the game

The last thing the team needs is a stadium with thousands of empty seats. Sure you're SAD and MOODY but COME ON. This is MASSIVE.

 

[Black Rod]

A lot of those Arsenal fans were probably Brighton season ticket holders, but Arsenal are their first team






What?

 

[Springal]

If we can't sell out or get close it, it will be very embarrassing.

A 1000 or 5000 empty seats will not make a difference to the team (it doesn't appear to have done for most of the season). Those who are attending need to generate an atmosphere, even if losing from the first leg.

 

[portlock seagull]

No real surprise. Its been a long season and Monday nights are a shocker for those travelling any distance. A lot will wait to see if we get past Wednesday, then the clamour will begin.

Yep, why I can't attend. Radio for me!

When massive happens regularly is it massive anymore? Or just the next game? Hmmmm

Why? The attendance is likely to be over 26k, probably over 28k. This should be seen as a very good figure not embarrassing. Remember that this will be people actually attending the game not a pretendance.

Don't stress. Tickets aren't even on general sale yet.

It's a play off semi final !!
