I don't think it's that bad. 700 (nearly 25%) since Monday, still nearly 3 weeks to go, with quite a few buying on Saturday. I think we'll sell nearly all 3000 especially if we get a couple of good results in the next few games.
[cite]Posted By: kinveachyaddick[/cite]let's hope we sell at least 2.5k
anything less would be piss-poor and there's no excuses for it
Really not worried about how many we sell. I had a great time when there were 1500 of us for the "Denis in the last minute" game and great time when there were 8500 for the "we'll never play you again" game.

We constantly sell more home tickets than them and our history puts theirs in the shade.
Why would I be embarrassed in comparison to anything about Crystal Palace FC?
In any case we haven't sold out in previous years and come away with smiles on our faces. If we lose then there will be enough of us to suffer and if we win the pleasure will be all the sweeter.
The fact is Palace always sell their 3000 for the Jimmy Seed be it a Sunday, Saturday or Friday and for some reason we don't do the same. £30 is not unreasonable for a game these days sadly and Palace on a Tuesday night is dead easy to get to unless you live and work in deepest Kent
The fact we sell so many tickets for home games is down to excellent work by the club's marketing going back to Target 10,000 and the very reasonable prices rather than anything great about the level or loyalty of our support
This is what the club said when it announced the ticket arrangements: "The club plans to make a further announcement on Monday, September 15th regarding extending the priority to Red Card holders.
This is what the club plans to say in Saturday's Valley Review: "Club officials will announce on Monday if and when priority will be extended to Red Card holders."
[cite]Posted By: Southendaddick[/cite]We struggled to sell 2600 last year on a Saturday when we hadn't played them for a little while.
The support on the night will be great but let's not pretend that we are the sort of club that sells out in 3 hours
agree

exactly...the team deserve better than our (poor in numbers) support
I'm sure many will buy on Saturday. Me and 4 others were discussing it tonight and we'll be buying ours then. Plus theres still over 2 weeks to go and many won't have had a chance to get down there yet. I'd be very surprised if by Monday morning the figure isn't around 2000.

of course they want to come to The Valley - to see how a club should be run. £30 to go to The Valley or £30 to go to selhurst park? no brainer!
I would love to sell it out, sadly cant see there being more than 2200 bearing in mind last year was saturday 3.00 and as previously stated we obviously hadnt played them for a while.
The Shinanigans on the trains last year may also have put a few fans off who may have kids with them which is understandable. But i think we can make up for the reduced numbers if thats the case and just shout even louder : )

Strange as that wasn't what you were saying about her colleagues on an earlier thread. : - (

Even last year in the Directors box was fun ; - )
Just as long as we win.
Prepare to be embarrassed...

As far as I'm aware, nothing has changed.
We'd sold 753 at 2.30pm.

So would liove to see the total on Monday

does it matter if they sell 3000 3 weeks before a game, or 3000 2 days before a game?
