Topic: Norwich Away (14/08/21) - Ticket Details (Finally)

[redman1974]

Can anyone recommend a decent coach from liverpool? Tried to get on the Football Travel Limited one but just missed out on the last seats on the bus with the tables. Any other recommendations?

They have 2 coaches going another normal one without tables. I'm going on that one

[Roughie Scouse]

Jeez. Hotels in Norwich are like rocking horse shit and ones that are available they have seriously hiked the prices up (surprise surprise).  Travelodge nearby and not even in the town centre is £150!  150 quid for a fucking Travelodge with no brekky!!

In the end, booked Premier Inn in Bury St Edmunds for £100 on the Saturday night.  Will have a mooch around Cambridge on the Sunday as I've never been there.

The Maids Head has rooms for £115 and is city centre

Cheers he said that was booked up also but looking to get another one sorted

Someone reckons they are doing ID checks cause of COVID, how many of our 2600 tickets do you think are in the hands of people who match the name on the ticket!?! Can’t possibly check ID of everyone?!

It'd be more chaotic than today if they did!

[elmothered1]

for years theyve said they will do checks at aways and ive still never had one or seen one apart from in europe. The home teams stewards just want to get people in and out they do not want to be checking everywhere. If this happens anywhere it will be spurs as the security to get in there was beyond a joke cant see it anywhere else

You're probably right

[elmothered1]

There aren’t any names on the tickets either

And Spurs is NFC

[stuartheal]

I’m sorted in the home end. That will do me fine. Where are people drinking beforehand? The Waterfront last time out but I’m not sure that’s still an away pub? Covid to bear in mind too.

[Shanklygates]

So 13 2moro morning then 12 from 2pm.

Hope they send out the first ones soon though and not wait til they have all been sold

[ABJ]

They are doing paper tickets for Watford in a few weeks time.

[Philipm20]

Anybody received their tickets for this yet? Still about 200 tickets left.

Waterfront is having building work done but they hope to have it fished by Friday for obvious reasons
The lad who runs it told me he'd let me know the score in the next day or so

[Shanklygates]

No unfortunately

arrived this morning

Hopefully 2moro then

[Fazak_Red]

When the games aren’t selling out on the initial sales, the club really need to be dropping the credits by bigger increments than one.

[Shanklygates]

Esp with 4 days left!

[Luke 17]

They can chalk more off this way.

[ABJ]

Agreed. Unlike other clubs though, they make a rod for their own back by announcing the selling details so close to the match so now, because they have left it so late, any further sales for this match will be collection only as if tickets that I got in the 1st sale last Thursday still haven't arrived 5 days later then no way would tickets purchased tomorrow arrive within 2 days 

[Alf]

Ours arrived today.

Looks like aways will deffo be dropping much lower than usual seasons doesn't it

Not a surprise really, but should be chances for people to get to aways that don't normally

Definitely. Said to a mate the other day that it bodes really well for those that are much lower down the league away ladder (or even not at all as I can see at least 1, Leicester, dropping to all seasies) but actually do want to attend the game and not just buy a ticket for the credit.

Bearing in mind that this is the 1st away for 18 months, the fact that it has never dropped below 14 before but is currently sat on 12 with still approx. 140 tickets left just shows how many do buy for the credit but have no intention of going although that is common knowledge anyway.

The problem now is that unless they drop it down to 11, 10 etc. tomorrow and do collections only, those 140 odd will remain unsold as only approx. 60 tickets have been sold to those on 15, 14, 13 and 12, they'll be barely anyone on 11 either.

bodes well for me and my MK Dons in the league cup

They must be reading this thread

[ABJ]

Yeah as they've just dropped it to 5!

[MomoWasBoss]

Bit mad they've dropped it by that many, but as you said further up there can't be many on 11.

Surely they look at how many STH/members qualify before dropping it to set criteria

[30fiver]

Phil does read it!

167 seats left

yeah they have the numbers so but also they're probably trying to get them sold now

[AR48]

Reckon any of the big allocations might drop to all STs/members this season?

[TeddyTime33]

I just had a scan and the only "midweek" aways are Leicester (28th Dec) and Everton (not really away) atm, of course this can easily change but it would probably need to be a midweek with a good allocation, members would still be a push to get past STHS imo

[TeddyTime33]

Euro aways are different but I'm kinda intrguied, member with no credits so a lot has to go right of course. Issue might be limited capacity in some countries and UEFA haven't even allowed away fans back yet but on the basis of this if you add travel it could be accessible

UEFA are talking about no away fans until next year at the earliest at the moment so I'd be surprised if that happens

I wonder if the club will look at what is happening with away sales this year and will change how they sell them going forward? Norwich dropping to 5 is mad!

uefa need fuck off then, no reason away fans can't attend if the countries permit inward travel, bunch of jokers

It is the clubs fault. Its a difficult place to get at late notice, trains are dead expensive. They sold them late, did not drop quick enough, and a block of corporates got added back.
I am still waiting for a ticket from the first fucking sale. Postie already been too. Knew I should have collected from the ground.

[PaulKS]

100%

Leicester and Southampton would be my best guess, maybe Newcastle as well

Oh I get that mate, but if a trend does develop of all games dropping further than they usually would it'll get a few people asking questions

Especially because they still insist on attending themselves!
