Over 23000 Sold for the Arsenal Game

[Mowgli37]

The club do make gestures re: pricing/tickets regularly. Remember offering ST holders free tickets for the Hull City replay last year ?

And they're always flexible re: pricing for cup games depending on the opposition. Cheltenham was 12 quid earlier in the season.
But like it or not Arsenal are in that top 6 of clubs in the entire country in terms of opposition. (Man U, Man City, Spurs, Liverpool).

The game will certainly sell out.

And of course who could forget the free pint at the Middlesbrough (was it?) game.

Am I right in thinking the only people who can now buy tickets until 0900 on Monday are Bronze members (I don't know any of these - are there many) and STH's who have not yet or chose not to secure their own seat?

Although I'm sure this will sell out fast it does seem curious to give what I'm sure is a very limited group of people a 96 hour window. Surely 24-48 hours would have been sufficient?

Yes you're right. This does seem a strangely disproportionate amount of time for the Bronze members to get tickets? surely just a 24 hours window would have sufficed.

I see Sheff Wed tickets are on sale, the club clearly feel they won't be in the 5th round then, bit of a risk as I won't be able to go to Sheffield on a Tuesday night

Wednesday are out

Officially Wolves I believe. The Palace and Derby Play Offs didn't sell out. Happy to be corrected though

Was the Palace crowd lower due to higher segregation issues 29,518 isn't far short of Wolves

Wednesday are out

Sorry should of said we - they meaning us not Wednesday

I think that's right - the official capacity is 30,500 but some seats will always be used for segregation, and obviously more for Palace than Wolves. Even Wolves was 30,003 - so almost 500 short of capacity.

As I understand it the current capacity is 30,750 with limited scope to squeeze in a few more seats in places.

Agree that this figure will never be reached for a football match due to segregation requirements. Assuming all tickets get sold for this Arsenal game then presumably we will find out the "maximum" crowd.

The announced crowds for the no-segregation Rugby World Cup sell-outs will be interesting.

Of course the 30,003 was not bums on seats, so the Palace game was almost certainly the biggest crowd at the Amex to date.

I always think the 30,003 was contrived so that it exceeded the magic 30k the same season all of the extra seats were in place. Were stewards going round Falmer at half time finding waifs and strays to put into spare seats as they were a few short.
