Attendance Thread - Watford

Not open for further replies.
If attendances continue to increase, especially if we do get promoted, they are going to have to sort the Premier Concourse and North West Corner properly again.

So things like thinking properly about segregation in the NWC and how far along they will let homes fans go when there is a smaller away allocation etc. They can't just designate large sections of the PC as friends and family if they aren't all needed and there's demand to buy those seats.

Probably been quite handy to have a whole upper tier that they don't really have to worry about and can just drop anyone in there without a worry, but if attendances rise it will need to go back to being a "normal" part of the ground and of the ticket sales process.

Agreed, that's maybe why we have been allowed back up there next season perhaps?

Do they not keep any for TO sales only? So if your at the counter and decide on a few seats then someone online can’t select them at the same time

The ticket office staff will use a similar Ticketmaster app to what we use to get tickets. If someone online selects a seat to buy it goes light blue on seat plan and unavailable to select in ticket offfice until they buy or release the seat and vice verca. They wont hold tickets back.

Surely that can't be the case. How many people after seeing it sold out online are going to bother there arse going to wait in a queue?

Newcastle at home in 2011 was the last official sell out for Sunderland Fans, Newcastle had there allocation cut in the south stand due to the trouble at the last derby and att. was 47,751. The preceeding matches against them when away fans were moved there was always a few hundred unsold at the back of the North West Upper.

That’s not right, not even including Newcastle games, both Everton and Chelsea last home games for Big Sam were sell outs.
