Loos like Watford have nearly sold out

Post by Quickenthetempo » Wed Feb 02, 2022 1:57 pm

Just 140 tickets left for them according to their website.
https://tickets.watfordfc.com/en-GB/eve ... or?hallmap

Looks far better than our website for away fans. Shows it can be done picking away seats online.

Be very out of character for them to travel more than hour in any numbers

Makes you wonder if they have sold all them blocks or just not released some of them blocks for sale, we may have asked them to sell the blocks furthest from our section first.

Agreed though on the simplicity of being able to pick your seats, it isn't rocket science

I'd be amazed if they've even come close to selling two thousand tickets with the kickoff time and on TV.

I bought a ticket for my brother in law and nephew on my season ticket, my nephew (6) now has COVID and won't be able to come.

I stupidly bought an U12 ticket despite them all being a tenner, would I be able to change it to an adult so I can fetch someone else with me?

They sold 2k tickets for their trip to Newcastle a few weeks back, infact the same number as we sold for our crunch match at Newcastle too.

This is a massive game for them aswell as us, they'll probably see it as 1 team relegated if they beat us.
You'd have to be delusional to think if Watford roll us over we will then go on to start taking points from the next few games.

Let's hope the game doesn't go down the pan.

A day/weekend on the beer in Newcastle is appealing for every club though. Getting up to Burnley for a late kickoff and messing about changing trains at Manchester, Preston or Leeds less so.
Fair play if they have nearly sold out, but I just can't see it. I'd say it's more likely we've sent them a reduced number of tickets.

They've also signed a a number of new players and got a new manager.

And their coaches are only £10.

A tenner? How do they break even at that price?

Burnley is not the easiest place for away fans to visit with its poor rail links

They must be subsidised by the club. Lots of PL clubs do it to help get their fans to away games.

Still doesn’t make a difference, we have the worst away support in the league by some distance.

We wouldn’t take 2k to Watford for a 6pm kick off with £10 coaches.

We aren't talking about our support, this thread is about Watford's. And you think that charging £10 instead of around £30 hasn't encouraged more of their fans to travel? :roll:

Yes you can change the ticket at the ticket office before the game, they will probably charge you the difference, but sometimes they don’t

I think we would if we had a new manager and several new players tbh
