Ticket Hotline : Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:34 pm  

Just phoned up to order my ticket for Friday - took me a couple of goes as the ticket lines were busy.
That's a good sign, although I guess they're dealing with a lot of people who normally have season tickets.

Any guesses on the crowd?

3,400

Re: Ticket Hotline : Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:20 pm  

about 5000 is my guess, but if this weather persists, alot less

Prices are:
Adults: £14 seating; £12 standing;

Concessions, £12 seating, £10 standing;

Under-16s, £5 to sit or stand.

Junior season ticket holders can get in free - but need to swap their vouchers before matchday.

that's a little pricey! £10 and £5 would have been more realistic

Each of those sections in the North stand holds approx 450-500 seats.

I'd say the have sold about 2k in seating, but I'm not bothered enought to actually count. Then there are the terraces. Not sure how many Oldham will bring but you'd imagine the West terrace will at least half sell.

I'll be slightly more optimistic and say 6k to 6.5k on the night with walk ups.

Apparently the ticket prices are in line with what fans pay at the Whitebank Stadium.

Surely don't want to price tickets too low otherwise neither club will benefit from the match.

I'd imagine Oldham pocket the receipts from the first 1,500 tickets. Then costs are taken out and the rest of the profits shared. To be fair it's probably over 10 years since ticket prices where that low at Saints.

Allocated and family ticket sales add up to 1885.

It's going to be interesting to be reminded of what Langtree Park looks like almost empty! I remember the freezing night those of us with season tickets went along to the training session, held as a safety certificate event. I would imagine around the same number of people will turn up tomorrow night.
