Seat Counters - 2022/23

Are you talking aways only?

I'm sure the kippax was always pay on the gate and the season ticket books with numbers and it was a random number every game. Kippax shut in 1994. I'm sure you could just rock up with cash right through to the end of maine rd though.

That is why I said wholey, you couldn't buy a ticket at all for the away end.

Birmingham City on boxing day 2003 had a cash turnstile but they sold tickets in advance, the last time I saw a cash option (not ticket office next to the away end). Home have sold tickets for every game since before I was born, but had cash for the some of the cup games in the final seasons for the Kippax only, it cost more though, Birmingham was £17 in the league cup in 2001, it was a rip off.

Pretty sure once Maine Road became all seater - 1994/95 season - you couldn’t pay on the gate for any game. You could rock up at the ticket office on the day/night of the game and buy a ticket that way if it wasn’t sold out but you couldn’t pay at the turnstiles like you could when the Kippax was a terrace.

All pay at the gate ended when the all seater stadium Taylor report was announced somebody will no doubt be able to put a year on it think.it may have been 2004 !

Sorry 1994 not 2004 !

Sorry 1994 not 2004 !

That is incorrect. Some still have it now.

My seat on the exchange sold within an hour. Usually takes 2-3 days.

First time I’ve ever sold my ticket on the exchange for todays game. I’ve tried loads of times too. Had to sell them on Facebook for like £20 prior to this season. I think my Brighton ticket has been sold too. Pep and Haaland are taking us to another level. No empty seats at home!

How many times do people have to post this?

The game has been “sold out”’for a while along with the next two home games. The seats appearing are from the seat exchange and will keep appearing right until kick off.

I put mine on the exchange in the early hours of this morning and it has gone already.
I leave it until as late as possible and it has always gone within a couple of hours. The derby went in 10 minutes!

I love that my seat isn’t empty but hate that it isn’t me filling it!! *lol*.

No seats available for Southampton now the exchange tickets have been taken off sale.

As has been said many times now, but needs saying again for those who appear not to believe it. We are selling out weeks in advance even for the lesser premier league games.

 

[Jacko1956]

That is incorrect. Some still have it now.

Sorry but only referring to the Premier League and Championship !

What I mean is, it’ll get to kick off and all ticket exchange seats will have gone too.

Depends on your definition of sell out.

There’s only one definition of sold out and that’s every seat is sold. If sold seats are put up for resale they’re still sold whether they get a taker or not because they have been paid for and the club gets the money.
