Barnsley allocated 1,400 terrace and 250 seats.
Their tickets go on sale on Monday, normal gate prices
-
arse biscuits - was hoping for a change in kick off, now I have an ethical dilemma!
-
According to Twitter it will be an all-ticket match. I trust our tickets will be on sale on Saturday!
-
You'd expect so
-
Confirmed as all ticket.
-
I know this idea isn't as simple as it sounds
But we should be asking shops in Altrincham (especially in dependants stores) to offer tickets in their shops or pubs.
The ground isn't exactly located close so people will have to choose to go down the ground to buy a ticket.
The lesuire centre and schools could be used

Even from 170 miles away I can tell that the market hall is always packed these days. A few hours there on a Sunday afternoon I bet we'd shift loads. Assuming Barnsley sell all of their tickets id hope we could push towards 4K.
-
Can the tickets be sold online using someone like skiddle for those that live away or how easy is it to set one up?
-
I hope they're not only gunna be available from the ground. There should at least be a way of postal ordering for us exiles
-
An official announcement would be good, I am fielding questions from non regulars about tickets already

me too. Mates from Leicester and Pissyborough asking about how to get tickets.

Although it's suits me personally, I'm staggered it's not a Sunday game.

We might just might be the football focus venue and then proper highlights on the Sunday. Maybe that's why it wasn't moved.

Wow..............did I mishear the word 'Barnsley' or are we playing Barcelona

thought it might have been moved to the Sunday regardless of TV, with United kicking off at the same time
Hundreds of dingles on the tram from town with the United could be fun

we only have 10 days to sell 4,000 tickets - best make a start!
-
If there isn't an online option, may I suggest people who are attending Saturday get their mates to transfer funds in to their bank accounts and purchase them for them. Not ideal but at least it gets tickets for people living away without waiting for the postal service.
-
A Facebook event thingy would be good. The one for Chester seemed to get shared welll
-
Lets hope we sell more than the 2k ish we had against Millwall, the last all ticket game , will be happy if we have 2.5k home fans .
-
I will hopefully be able to purchase two tickets for the travellers next Saturday.. If they have a massive demand i may be back on here begging someone local to Alty to get me a couple...

Cheers Mick. I plan to be at the Torquay game

From the main site --------------- Tickets will go on sale to season pass holders only at 9am Monday 2nd November, one per season pass... Subject to availability, any remaining tickets will go on general sale from Wednesday 4th November.
or is this the Barnsley tickets?
I hope we can buy them on Saturday.

That's the Barnsley tickets.
The kick off time and all ticket status was confirmed 5 hours ago so tickets could then be confirmed and ordered with the printers. They hope to have them for sale by Friday evening if delivered and at the game on Saturday.
-
Cheers Ecky.
-
Is there a limit on the number of tickets that home fans can purchase (given that some of us can not make it there)?
-

I'm sure the club will have had the printers contacted and ready for the tickets the moment the draw was made (imagine the main stand would've been all ticket anyway) and quite literally just waiting for final confirmation of date/time.
I'm equally sure the club will be ready to go and collect the tickets if not received by cob Friday to ensure they will be on sale Saturday lunchtime given the logistical nightmare that would ensue if this wasn't the case.
-
This is a great opportunity for a high profile giant killing, I hope the club are going to promote the game as much as they can and try and get a huge crowd into Moss Lane... it might be worth investing a few grand getting people in for this one, radio call outs large back page adverts in the local rags for the next week or so, big signs outside the ground etc..... a win will mean a great chance of a big pay day in the next round! fill the ground get Moss Lane rocking and rough there young team up to get through!!
-
Im guessing tickets wont be available on the day?Im just thinking of last minute deciding to go people and others who cant get there before match day

Millwal tickets were not sup[posed to be available on the day but due to demand they sold them up untill a certain time.
-
If it was possible to sell them on the day or even up to kick off it could make a big difference .
-
The milwall game was always a bit different. Maybe tickets could be sold on the day with proof of address or association. We can iron all this out once the details are released. It wioykd make things more straightforward for exiles if a facility to pay by card could be made available. But we'll have to wait and see

then there would be no point in it being all ticket??? All ticket, but you can buy your ticket at 2.55pm? What a waste of time
The all ticket nature of this game means we will miss out on many impulse on the day punters (which made the big difference against Guiseley). Can't see us selling more than 2,000 tickets which seems to be the norm for all ticket games at moss lane (Millwall)

why is it all ticket anyway? We expecting a capacity turn out?
-
That's probably a question for the local SAG and GMP.
-
Official ground capacity (2006) is 6085. Does anyone actually believe the attendance figure will be anywhere near that. Complete madness to make it all ticket, in my opinion. >:(
-
I've paid for things by bank transfer to the club's account before which was easy to arrange with the office and is virtually instant. Granted not quite as easy as a credit card payment, but not too hard to do either.

-
Maccs game against Bristol Rovers was changed to buy tickets on the day earlier this season .Probably depends on how many Barnsley sell if Alty were to make a similar decision.

Games aren't just all ticket because the crowd might be bigger than capacity. Interesting article from Torquay as to why it can happen.

The usable (not official) capacity must be a lot lower now? Since the Guiseley game (crowd around 4600 I think) we've lost almost a third of the pop side to the TV gantry (I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere) and I can't see anything other than a large sterile area taking away another third of the pop side. I hope this isn't the case, but if we do it for run of the mill league games then it's going to happen for a game like this.
-
The capacity is still 6085, the gantry does reduce the effective area there but we have gained at least that many in front of the CSH which was an area that never counted at all towards the overall capacity as the old flags had no safety barriers.

People are asking questions that they know the answer too mate as part of the "got to pick holes in something or someone" stuff. Facts and explanations get ignored as they ruin a lot of rants.
It can't just be me it all seems massively obvious to?
Having the match as all ticket will lower the gate. The club want to make as much money out of the day so to pump it back in to the things that need funding. Therefore a decision to lower income would not be taken lightly.
However these things get taken out of the clubs hands and are only negotiable to a point.
Do people really think that they said "we'll get more that 6,085 in so best make it all ticket"? I'm sure they don't (see opening sentence).

If we were about to play in champions league final certain posters would be unhappy they had to fly to the game

Personally, I would go by road/rail. ;)
-
Despite the official site now having some more details on it there are still no details about how to get a ticket if you don't live in the immediate area or are not gunna be able to get to the Torquay game on Saturday.
Surely there has to be phone sales + postage at least for exiled supporters?
-
If people are going to speak sense I'm off
lol
-
It's just a new situation isn't it. There will be things that go right and things that go wrong. There are things we don't know. Pukka Pieman says officially we have more terracing capacity than the flags. The reality is we've lost a lot of space for spectators to flow safely. Whether that was considered I don't know.
We may find we lack a card machine or something. If so, fine but then we review everything and if the bad bits remain the bad bits the next year we have a cup tie then that will be the time to complain.
-
Surely we have a payment card machine and people can book over the phone with a debit or credit card.

I assume you'll happily accept the charge of posting the ticket out to you ? And risk the "efficiency" of Royal Mail. If everyone wanted to collect on the day it would be chaos !

If you are buying a ticket, surely to you can pick it up on the day with agreement from the club, others to collect by 5.00pm on the 6th Nov, not that difficult with email confirmation, or perhaps charge £2.50 p+p or whatever it costs, if you want tickets posting you pay as you would do normally with any tickets. Not rocket science.
Personally it doesn't affect me, i will be there Friday at 5.00pm muahahaha

If you think about the logistics of that, how would it work without having a physical ticket office (for collection) or staff with spare time to handle the postage side. These kind of games crop up so infrequently that it's probably bottom of the list of the club's priorities.
-
I would agree it is a rare situation.

The capacity hasnt been re-assessed since CSH was built and is unlikely to be for a while and this wasnt a factor at all in the CSH scheme, it was just that we wanted the new terrace to be safe standing, thus the barriers were designed into the scheme.
The issue about the gantry is separate and I have no doubt the club are aware of your comments above and the new ground committee are looking at what needs doing.
-
The issue on the gantry was actually made a lot better and few noticed!
It started the season as being nearly all of that middle third with scaffolding to the floor. The scaffolding is now only a third of the way along it so fans get stand underneath and the other half is hung from the beams.
This means that people can stand underneath it now.
If you stand there it isn't ideal I know but at least it has improved a bit.
Anyway about this football match.....
-
Yes Pukka, see what you're saying, but we're still reduced in real terms. What I'm saying is that there are new things we'll find out about.
In this example I was keen that we had terracing still there but come the cup game we may find it better to not allow anyone to stand there spectating so as to allow for a bit of crowd flow or just spare space (given what we've lost)

Although not perfect, the popular side gantry situation is much better nowadays.

I presume that, as with many previous FA Cup ties of this ilk at Moss Lane, main stand season ticket holders will be allowed a limited 'window of opportunity' to purchase a ticket for their regular seat.
Once this timespan has expired, any unclaimed seats would then be released onto open sale.
(I appreciate that some main stand season ticket holders' regular seats will have become part of the Barnsley allocation).
-
I was surprised to learn both that the main stand will be unsegregated and tickets are to be issued on an unreserved general admission basis.
I thought that the police wouldn't have been particularly keen on the first of those arrangements.
And I have no desire to find myself sitting next to Dickie Bird.

I spoke to Dickie and suggested his team will be Puffin at the end of the game.. He thought the concession ticket prices were cheep.
I'm here all week :D

Indeed, all the club says is from the J Davidson stadium - which bit? The community sports hall or the sponsors lounge offices?? Unless I've missed it.

Tonight, Tickets will be on sale from reception at the Sports Hall.
Tomorrow, once the bar is open, the tickets will be on sale in the hall itself.

also available online. See the main site.

As its a cup game its first come first sat down. The earlier you get there the more choice of seats you have!

I was just casting my mind back to previous times when main stand season ticket holders were allowed, say, 24 or 48 hours to claim their customary seat before any went on open sale.
It was a gesture which represented an acknowledgement of loyalty.
However, I believe that the tickets for the Barnsley match have not been individualised to show the row and seat number, so this renders the above rather tricky to process.
I have been advised that season ticket holders' seats are to be marked with stickers saying 'reserved' but, of course, there is no guarantee that everyone will honour such signs.
As for getting there early, I have told my wife that she will be camping outside the main stand turnstiles from next Friday evening and into the day of the match in order to ensure that I can secure first place in the queue when you open the doors.

You could always just not leave after this afternoons game and get her to bring your food and drink across ;D
