Peterborough allocation (ed. SOLD OUT)

WhenIwasLittleBoy

970 allocated to us for this game on the 26th, this will be easily sold sincerely hope that the club have an agreement with Peterborough to take more tickets. There is nothing in place with regards to valley gold, season tickets then general sale.
Win the next two games, a train journey of only 50 minutes from London, I think the ticket office may come unstuck on this game.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have seen that this season they have put more fans in the fairly new stand behind the goal if they require more tickets!

I have seen this as well, but from previous experiences the club will normally say “we have an initial allocation of” meaning we can take more if required, this is not the case for this game.

We need to sell out quickly and then we may get more. They do put supporters in the end opposite the home end when a club has a large allocation

roseandcrown

Why are they not giving valley gold normal priority or using the loyalty points?

Southendaddick

I think they will give us behind the goal when we sell out hence the tickets aren’t restricted

Luton and Pompey have both taken 2000 there this season

It's possible that the Ticket Office is having to cut its coat according to its cloth, so to speak, if they expect the Big T to go ahead as rumoured ie plenty of fans purchasing half year season tickets in the next week or so.

Imposing restrictions, which is what we expected for this match, would put further pressure on a stretched department which I was told yesterday is/has been particularly busy recently.

Surprised at the costs of trains for this one nearly £30.00

Group bookings of five plus people reduces the cost.

If you don’t mind the slower train £13 return

local trains (stoppers) from Kings X to PBoro and back can be as cheap as £20.10

it does but the works aren't confrimed until 7 days before my hope is i can just jump on a lner train if engineering work is taking place.

Do train prices go up nearer the time (Pompey was the same price on the day as in advance I believe)? I’ll be at the game, just not sure what train I’ll be able to get.

I've done it myself a couple of times.
Word of warning though a poster on here was hit with a £80 fine for being on the wrong train

of course it is a risk, but usually as i have genuinely attempted to travel on the correct service they normally waiver it, what they do is hand out fines for people that just get what train they like when they have an advanced single and there is nothing wrong with that service.

Pompey took 2.5k there. Will be more if we sell our initial 1k

nearly 500 sold already, so think we will defo sell out, for a game like this everyone that wants one will get a ticket, and less work for the ticket office.

Southendaddick

Sold more for Peterbro in a day than we’ve sold for Shrewsbury on Saturday

not a lot of effort to get to Posh City, more of an issue getting to the Welsh borderlands .. Posh is ideal for the 'just outside the M25ers'

Their tickets prices are a joke, I'll still go cause it's a big game and I wanna tick the ground but 26 quid is robbery

big game = 'big' prices especially at an ambitious club with a small ground

Clive is it just the thameslink trains that might have engineering works on the 26th.
Just looked at this Saturday and no direct train saying 2hrs to boro

Not 26? I don't know I don't usually check but Accrington we are charging 21 with students for 12. Peterborough don't even do student discount

This Saturday Thameslink trains are either diverted via Ely or bus replacement at Biggleswade,hence the longer journey time,i cannot find any information about engineering works on the 26th January.
