Kick in the bollox financially.

Get a televised replay before spurs away


Not sure that's defo the case as the Sunday highlights programme would only have brought in 12.5k ? I would expect the sat 3pm kick off time means the crowd will be up by a fair bit.

The Saturday ko time is an absolute godsend to me, as it means my family can all attend. I think Timperley The Best is right, Saturday game will add a significant number to the gate, which will obviously be good for the club.

I find it surprising that a club the size of Portsmouth don't offer electronic ticketing. If little Kings Lynn can manage it....

Looks like they have smart cards for season tickets and they load cup tickets onto those for home fans. Probably not worth the investment in e-tickets for away fans.

Delighted my assumption about this being a Sunday was wrong.

I’m guessing today we’ve already sold a few hundred, we’d have taken 500 plus to York at 3pm on a Saturday so reckon we should come close to selling out for this one. London Alty got our job lot of tickets at the game today. Going to be an amazing day out for the fans and I actually wouldn’t write the game off either, we are looking excellent at the moment. The closest thing we’ve had since Spurs away in 1995 and I still remember that game and day out, getting the coach down from Timperley Village, had the match poster on my bedroom wall for months afterwards. Parky & Sorvs should be really proud when the team run out and see 1000 of us in the away end.

Would be interested to see how many tickets were sold today. Looked to be a constant queue for tickets before the game and I overheard plenty of people that I wouldn’t consider as regular away travellers talking about their plans. Not sure we’ll sell out 980 tickets - it’s only the 2nd round after all, but we’ll give it a good go.

3pm Saturday gives me a chance also. Great post Sarf London.. Pre Southport it looked like it could be a long season, now it’s looking f**king great again. Someone thank Phil Parkinson for me, the man has brought good times back for us. Up the reds.

I doubt we'll have 1000 there. It's a very long way.

However we sold a minimum of 100 before kick off so you never know

Hi, First Post I'm a Portsmouth Season Ticket Holder. All our ticketing is electronic in one way or the other.
Fratton Parks Capacity is just over 19,000 of which for league games there are 14,500 season ticket holders who have smart cards.
Other tickets are mostly issued by Ticketmaster who issue a print at home/ mobile barcode which is read by the automatic turnstiles.
Away tickets are generally sold by the visiting club as they receive commission on the ticket sales under EFL regs. and it allows them to vet which people can buy tickets. At Pompey for instance if you are a home season ticket holder you can also be an away season ticket holder where you guarantee to buy an away ticket for every match and get first chance where the allocation is small.

Thanks Paul - that sounds well organized, and makes perfect sense.

I would imagine that proof of age is needed at the point of using the ticket, not at the point of buying it, as the person buying a ticket isn't necessarily the person who is going to use it.
