Bingo! Go and get 'em folks...

Yes, yes we've done that already. TV games needs to be resolved before any tickets can be sold.

Seems so - Albion season ticket sales top 23,000 - Brighton & Hove Albion FC - Mid Sussex Times. Which means if a visiting club took a full 15%, as Arsenal surely would, there would be precious few tickets available for non-STHs once segregation is taken into account. There will be some STHs...

STHs (inclusive of 1901ers) is in the 21-22k ballpark, is it not?

It won't. I had a conversation with Paul Barber a month or two back and he cited the hypothetical situation of drawing Man Utd at home and stated ticket prices would not go up.

You reckon the TV cos will not select any 4th round ties that have a replay dependency?

Agreed, but the 4th round TV stuff will be resolved long before the third round replays have been played.

Because I believe... I) Arsenal are more attractive opponents than Swansea. II) There would be higher demand for Arsenal, which would sell out, than Swansea, which might not. III) If the club gave people a chance to secure their ticket for the 4th Round, a lot of people who might be hesitant...

...because we might have lost and not had a game? Both Swansea and Arsenal will have no issues with full price tickets.

If it were me... - ST holders from now-ish until the day before the Arsenal v Swansea replay. - General sale for the morning of the replay (to try and get as many people buying on the hope of Arsenal as possible).

Sure - and there are a lot like you. But Saturday's attendance illustrated that there are also thousands who will pick and choose games. I suspect they'll not get the chance this time.

cunning fergus just dropped by my desk in order that we could put the world to rights. Talk turned to the 4th Round and the short timeframe between the Arsenal v Swansea replay and the 4th Round itself. We reckon the club, being as shrewd as it is now, will have tickets on sale very soon...
