If Charlton and Gillingham can have unlimited capacity on Saturday, surely so can Kent at Canterbury?
Exactly. Still not confident of getting tickets though!
Had a quick shufty at the Kent News pages and they were hoping to extend capacity to 4k. I wasn't actually sure if we are members or not - our account refers to membership but I don't recall forking out when we joined so I expect we aren't the right type of members as we didn't get an email on 30 July.

Me too. I have an Invicta number which I think is online membership, so I was hopeful it might be enough. But I didn't get the email either and haven't bought any kind of membership as mentioned on the website.
Even £4k tickets would go quick, so realistically I'm not likely to get any

We just tried and no joy. Think you are right about not getting one. Looks like watching on TV.

We got into the queue on one laptop but unsurprisingly no further. Even with a capacity of 4k (no chance , I can see members snapping al of those up, less whatever they have reserved for the oppo. If only 1,500, no chance!

Must be some rich people around if £4000 tickets are going to sell out.
Anyone know if we do get through this stage what happens about the final?
I’ve seen edgebaston have stated it’s a sell out already? Do Kent get given a percent of tickets to sell to their members ??
Mad if they have sold the tickets before they know who the 4 teams are. Might encourage tickets being sold on by supporters of team who aren't in it, not that they couldn't do that when the 4 teams are know, but less likely
Kent are currently 70-4 off 14.2 overs in what is a 27 overs a side match with rain having stopped play.
Joe Gordon (19) has just joined Darren Stevens (45). I wonder how often there has been, in the history of English cricket, a 26 year difference between the two players at the crease?

Pre World War 2 it would have happened frequently. Frank Woolley (born 27 May 1887) and Doug Wright (born 21 August 1914) for instance being a Kentish example. Jack Hobbs at Surrey too plus sundry others from other counties.
After Kent made 105 It seems DLS increased Hampshire's target up from 106 to 107???
I believe this is because DLS takes into account that for a period before the rain interrupted play, Kent thought they had the full amount of overs. Therefore, they would have approached the game in a certain way, taking into account the wickets they had lost and overs left.
Hypothetical - 50 over game. Maybe going along well on 125-3 off 25 overs. It rains and game is reduced to 26 overs. You now have plenty of wickets to spare and would approach the final over aggressively.
Opponents now know they have say 140 to chase off 26 overs BUT can plan ahead for all 10 wickets and what rate to chase at, including being aggressive for say final 5 overs if they’ve plenty of wickets left
Quite how on earth they can write a formula to account for all that I do not know!

4k tickets!
Capacity of 4000 confirmed
That includes 500 in a temporary stand, but nobody in the Woolley
Only read the latest email from Kent this afternoon where it was stated they were still trying to increase capacity for the Quarter Final.
Fanackapans .....
You might get to the "ball" after all !
Kent posted 217-9 from 35 overs
middlesex are 145-7 from 25.4
Leaning, Munsey, O'Riordan & Qadri batted really well & at long last, seem to be getting the hang of this 50 over lark.
Then Gilchrist & Qadri took 8 wickets between them & our first victory in the comp was achieved.
Hoping for a similar exciting match & result when we make our last trip to Beckenham this summer on August 12th.
