Suggests we have sold the first small allocation given to us so more will be on sale tomorrow I suspect. Think the info page says initial allocation was section V1 so just over 1000, away fans also have V2 and there's also the family section S so I suspect we'll see 1,600 there. Maximum allocation is 1,900 and at £32.50 a ticket plus booking fees for online we won't sell out.

I may be slightly simple but I have never understood the aspect of it being the most expensive so it won't sell out. Away fans travelling are already spending a considerable amount on ticket (even if were say, £26), travel and refreshments along the way.

This is first v second at present, and whilst I accept that every penny counts in the present climate I find it hard to get my head around the concept that an extra £5 overall on the day would deter many that wanted to go, bearing in mind the cost anyway.

Got my 3 tickets on Saturday, although in the next county still 2 hours away. Took 600 last year on a cold Tuesday which I thought was a good effort

Hi Russ, ordered my ticket on Thurs morning when they went on general sale & I'm in block V2. Should be a good turnout.

I took my son to Cardiff last season, we only live up the road so travel wasn't an issue, however what was an issue was charging £20 for a 9year old kid to watch a football match. Sometimes it isn't the cost but the principle.

I'm not an away fan, work load only allows home Saturdays off, but why is this not a 2500 sell out? 2.5 hours away it's not that expensive and is a very important game to at least draw. Any one fancy working my shift?

Exactly this. Not that our ticket prices are any better.

Perhaps it's worth noting Portman Road has one of the worst atmospheres in the Football League.

Last time I visited, during the 3-1 defeat (Vicente wonder goal only highlight) I was stunned by the home crowd's apathy. Even when they scored it barely registered beyond a cheer. And for songs....what songs?

Perhaps a mod could change the thread title just in case (as it's not correct)...
