Does anyone one know whether for season ticket holders, it will be only 1 ticket per holder? Or maybe more?

Goin on past experience.

Tiger Tony · « **Reply #1 on:** June 22, 2006, 10:47:11 am »

1 per ST probably. But will be easy to get hold of as many as you want, so wouldn't worry.

Anyone heard when these are going on sale?

Ashfordian · « **Reply #3 on:** June 22, 2006, 03:21:31 pm »

Will be this time next month I expect. Gives them time to sell then before the 13th.

No, they'll leave it until the 7th August to start the sale and hold a ballot.

.....and then hold the ballot, decide who has been successful, send out letters to the unsuccessful ballottees....and then, when the 'successful' ballottees start to believe, finally cancel the ballot that has already taken place, claim it never occurred anyway and give the tickets to someone else.......and relax....

Nothing on .tv

Hopefully be on sale soon as I'm wanting a couple and I'm expecting to get them on general sale. Need to take this opportunity to get to the Millennium stadium, get to see the mighty reds and should also be a good day out.

sneaking in is an art in itself if everyone knew the stewards would be on to it
keep your eyes open and look for openings.... the fat man walks alone

It look like I'm on my own here but I was expecting the highest price to be higher than £40. I was expecting £50, £40, £30. Its not the FA cup final but its still a game of football at a massive stadium so wasn't expecting any bigger markdown on the cup final tickets.

Its a glorified friendly!! Wouldnt surprise me the FA trying to rip us off again though. I was fleeced for 65 quid for a cup final ticket, aint gettin fleeced for this.

TT - I wouldn't say £65 for a cup final ticket was being fleeced, especially with the way it went but agree on your comments about the shield being a glorified friendly.

20 quid would be the most i would pay to see this match

I agree about the glorified friendly but I'll be paying whatever to make sure I get to Cardiff again after missing out on the FA cup final. I've also booked hotels and told my lad he's coming so £10-20 per ticket won't be putting me off.

Looking now, I think they have updated the directions probably because of my vigorous complaints

We will have the Camp Reds on tour flag, probably at the top of the hill (to the right) when you get to the camping - if the car will get up

Im afraid it is. They wouldn't pay that in Spain, Italy or Germany. Not a cat in hells chance. But hey they know they can take the piss out of us so why the fuck not. As for the 90 pound tickets, don't get me started on them!! If that was all I could have got I wouldnt have gone in the stadium, I really wouldnt as that is just totally and utterly fuckin scandalous, nothing less.

What next year, fuckin 75 and 100 pound tickets?! For the 65 quid I was expecting some sort of extra e.g. free programme or something, or at least a pint at half time.

I agree but it's the going rate for a high profile, sell out occasion these days - pop/rock concerts for example. I paid £75 each for the mrs and I for Bon Jovi recently - pay it or don't go is the choice

Supply and demand - it doesn't make it right but until the demand goes, the price will only get higher.

I am sure many who missed out would have willing paid £60 or £90.

soz to go off in a differnt direction, went to see the foos other week in manc paid like 45 quid each, day before the gig were selling them on website reduced to 20 quid!

My mate has supposedly been offered tickets to the CS. He's given me price options of 35 / 40 / 45 quid. Not sure if there's anything higher or lower?
