Cardiff Ticket Arrangements

[FG aka Football Genius.]

thanks Crawley boy very helpful but i think the BRIGHTON club should be giving clear plans of this after all you woodnt buy a theatre ticket or like without an idea of where you will be sitting would you

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

L9 green looks ok U3 doesnt must be reason why, didnt sum post few days ago some seats have restricted view yet Albion say they all are GOOD seats!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Bournemouth plan isn't a great deal different from the (less detailed) sketch plan for the Carling Cup Final that can be found on the Middlesbrough FC site

Middlesbrough had the North End as well.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

At least we get our tickets direct from the Club. Palace are using a ticket agency and people have to pay a booking fee on top of the basic ticket price.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

So ... If we want to congregate behind the goal in the North Stand - and who from NSC would want it any different? - it looks like we should be going for £40 tickets in Block N3. If they're selling them from the half way line outwards, maybe we don't want to be first in the queue?

 

[Colbourne Kid]

The plan for tickets shown for Bournemouth is the same as for the Albion.

Tickets will be sold on first come first served basis from the centre line as directed by Mill Stad so trying to judge a particular block will be pretty much impossible.

However many tickets you buy you need a form for each individual but ID only for the person buying.

If you want ot sit in a group try and attend together, remember four people can buy a group of 40.

If you buy over ten tickets you need a special anti-touting form from the Football League.

Ticket Office is open 9.30am - 4pm Sunday
Withdean is open 9am - 8pm Sunday

This idea of allocating tix from the half-way contradicts the earlier idea that there would be a designated singing area behind the goal. How the hell are you meant to judge what time to buy your ticket for this area?
BTW, I spoke to the v. helful woman at the Stadium and she said the park and ride scheme is the best way of getting to the ground, although it won't be a quick way of getting out of Wales after the match. I did ask her whether she thought parking at Newport station (300 car park spaces) and getting the train to Cardiff Central is a good idea, but she said the trains will be so packed (obviously lots of BC and BHA fans going by train and getting on a lot earlier)

looks like the trains will be a nightmare . .

does anyone know how much a box costs ? . . . .just a thought

 

[Albion Dan]

boxes cost £2000 for 12, I was going to get one until a couple of people let me down. You get a 2 course meal and free booze and seats on a balcony outside the box. Ive done it before at cardiff and it was quality.

It works out at £166 each!

Trains will be ok but make sure you get a reservation on First Great Western services!

[zefarelly]

whos up for an NSC box

 

[Grunty]

What time do you think the queue will start to form on saturday AM ?
at Withdean

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

6am and be packed by 9am solid until about 6 to 7pm evening

 

[Titanic]

Are there going to be any parking restrictions ?? or park and rides ?? Surely if thousands are going to turn up to buy tickets, it will be like a match day!

 

[FG aka Football Genius.]

dont suppose there will be park and ride but the parking nearby is bound to pi55 the residents off

When I contacted the Club a couple of weeks back, they said no more than "Point well made but not easy to organise - we are intending to open ten turnstiles at Withdean - selling 25,000 tickets in a few days is not an easy exercise. We will do our best."

Since then, they've had the instruction from the Stadium to sell tickets from the centre line outwards. Which I guess makes it even more difficult.

I have, however, asked again, but haven't yet had a response. My guess is that it will prove too difficult to have any workable arrangements in place - particularly with three different ways of buying tickets being available (at Withdean, at the Ticket Office, and by post).

Fortunately, we've got the two tiered North End, which makes it slightly easier to ensure that people buying £40 tickets will be in a solid block. The South End has three tiers everywhere and the price structure spreads everyone except the £46 tickets in a thinnish line running sideways. In places, the blocks of seats priced in the same category are not much more than ten rows deep.

My personal hope would be for singers to try to get tickets in Block N3.
