    Wonder why the ticket availability is so small compared to say the Play-Offs

    Thought it would be based on the Ground size, not the competition - Unless the plan has always been to just open the West Stand and someone smarter than me will be able to confirm that 600 is 25% capacity of that stand which is in line with regulations.

    Probably the highest percent we can have in the west Stand lower .

    Shame there's only 600 available but guess with the game only a few days away there's not enough time for the club to assess interest/demand,.

    maybe if there's big demand they could also open the North Lower at short notice

    Possibly, but they're doing it in phases, so it depends how keen this year's season ticket holders and Valley Gold are I think:

    50 tickets have been reserved for Valley Gold members who will be contacted on Tuesday and able to access on a first come, first served basis.

    When tickets go on sale, they will be available in the below phases:

    Wednesday, 9.30am: 2020/21 season ticket holders or Valley Gold members

    Wednesday, 12.30pm: 400 loyalty points

    Wednesday, 3.30pm: 250 loyalty points

    Thursday, 9.30am: 100 loyalty points

    Thursday, 12.30pm: members on the club's database

    6pm on a Friday probably isn't that ideal for many.

    Someone please explain why we're limited to 600 in a 27k stadium because of covid restrictions but Spurs are allowed 10k tomorrow night in a 60k stadium.

    I expect its because we will only be opening one Stand.......or even only part of one.

    Just got this message from the club which they asked me to post

    We are not restricted to 600 fans. Indeed on Friday it will be higher than this number with tickets going to parents of all boys involved on both teams plus Academy comps. 

    We could accommodate just under 7k and would have done so had we reached play offs.

    Have asked why not 7k on Friday and will let you know if I hear back but suspect it would mean opening more stands and that is difficult and costly at such short notice.

    Thanks, Henry.

    Would be great to have 7K on the night.

    The 50 free V.G tickets went like hot cakes, not surprising I guess.

    The e-mail arrived at 3.26pm I sent off my application at 4.06pm.
    Received notice I had been unsuccessful around 5.40pm.

    Interesting how quick they went.

    In response to my question above

    To house 7k we have to open every stand in the ground, inc quadrants.

     We then have to put a full traffic management scheme in place which costs a few thousand pounds. Under covid our staffing numbers have to increase by over 20% for queuing systems, toilet stewards etc which we wouldn't normally have to do.

    Don't think we'd sell 7k for an under 18 game even at £10 and £5 a ticket. Also such short notice to get clearance and staff ready in three days.

    If there is demand we may try to open another area. Problem is game was unscheduled and some staff taken time off.

    I reckon they could easily get 2,000/3,000 wanting to go, just because they haven't been to The Valley for some time.

    I sent my email at 15.39 and got a reply at 17.18. 2 Tickets which the club will email to me in due course.🙂

    It would be great to get some additional supporters in the North Lower to cheer on the lads

    I won't be going, but looking at the ticketing site, good that the East Stand has been renamed already!

    Really surprised at this.

    I assume the 6pm kick off is putting a few people off.
