Poor ticket sales

Under 300 sold so far for a 4th round game

City travel to Premier League Burnley on Saturday No pay on the day sales at Turf Moor

Just under 300 tickets sold

City supporters are advised that there will be no pay on the day sales at Burnley on Saturday (January 28th, 3pm).

Just shy of 300 tickets have been sold in advance for the Emirates FA Cup fourth round tie at Turf Moor.

There will also be no collections available at the stadium on the day, so tickets will need to be collected from the Bristol Sport Store by 5pm on Friday (January 27th).

Sales will continue from Ashton Gate until 2pm on Friday – both online and by phone.

Fans without tickets are advised not to travel to Turf Moor to avoid disappointment.

Very poor to say they're playing against a Prem team!

Sadly we got the wrong Bristol team in the cup. One side would have filled the cricket field for the same game the other will bring between 500 and 600.

They have never really travelled well despite a higher home crowd.

Considering what happened to them last time they played at TM, I don't blame them

To be fair I've seen Bristol play at Fulham twice in the last 12 months and they filled the away end there on both occasions; and had a significant chunk of the "neutral" section too...

They can travel if they want to. Just this isn't a priority for them....

They've just lost 8 league games in a row, I think 300 is a decent effort considering

Fill the cricket field stand?

Bristol Rovers?

Seriously?

Would have been a big draw for them. Also a tick for the new generation of fans.

Nice cup day out with nothing to lose would have seen Bristol R fetch 1,500 ish IMO

Sounds about right!

be real here guys.

We've played them a zillion times

They have lost eight in a row

Our home form is astonishing.

300 is pretty good

They've sussed out that their old keeper won't be playing.

Can't quite get my.head this. Possible 1,700 empty seats and.fans without tickets advised not to travel. Is the world going.backwards with technology.

It will be because there is no away ticket office like lots of grounds and I would imagine they won't want away fans lining up at our ticket office. Pay on the gate is a thing of the past I'm afraid

Sunderland were allowed to pay on the night last week if I remember correctly.

Without sounding harsh CT it is hardly going to be on police request, nor would Bristol C be so keen for tickets to go off sale at 14:00 Friday with no pay on the day. It effects them not one jot.

That leaves Burnley, and lets not pretend they don't have form for strange ideas and strange ticketing arrangements.

Yeah but they didn't need to find parking spots for 300 tractors and combine harvesters!!

lakesclaret · Post by **lakesclaret** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 7:36 pm

Considering theyre in horrific form and considering we're really not a glamour tie in the slightest it's not wholly suprising. That said they've always travelled ok and i'f asked off the top of head i'd have expected them to bring a good 1500 (before reading he thread) I'd expect a decent Burnley crowd again with the low entrance fee and I presume tickets will be sold on match day for Burnley fans?

How many tickets have we sold ?

"Poor ticket sales". How are the sales going for the middle class, and the rich elites? IT should know.

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 1:20 am

A tenner is a top price for 4th round FA Cup.

It's a shame that I don't think there will be many more than 10k on again. It's worth the entrance fee alone to watch Tarks

400 now and it's the ground apparently!

"And it has to be said, Turf Moor does not possess the same appeal as The Hawthorns, a thoroughly modern venue that welcomed more than 4,000 City fans last year.

Given that City have important Championship fixtures away to Derby County and Leeds United coming up, some fans are no doubt happy to save their money to fund trips to the iPRO Stadium and Elland Road."

The Hawthorns is very easy to get too, and quite a local game for them.
Factor in they haven't played them for a while, I'd expect them to take a few thousand.

Coming to Burnley has seen them ship quite a lot of goals, and with their current form, it could be another 4 something

Saw that earlier. I think we should make a late appeal to the FA to have the game played at a neutral venue and beg for said venue to be The Hawthorns.

It would seem hardly any town/city has much appeal for their fans to visit.

"nestling in folds of the east Pennine hills"
Quite a poetic phrase to describe the town in the article. Pity they don't know their east from their west!

Or the fact that iPro has ended its sponsorship of Derby's identikit stadium. It's now reverted to Pride Park.

Ticket office have just said they are expecting 15,000 tickets to be sold for this match.Not bad if they do

300 is a great effort from a poulation of 428,000 !!
