    Anyone got any idea how many tickets we've sold for the Bristol and Barnsley games? Are we in for a good turn out?

    I think Nick Thompson suggested 18,000 tomorrow, despite it being on TV and having no away fans.

    No news on Barnsley, but if we win tomorrow, then there's a chance we could sell all 5,500 if there's a chance we could win promotion there.

    18K is awful for a team looking to go up to the premier league. I don't care if it is on telly.

    The club needs to look at themselves on ticket prices.

    You forget that some of us have had to pay for 3 games in a week for a family of 4 Lucky I can afford it but understand that many others would have to pick which games to attend.

    I disagree, Wolves charge the same and they got 20,000 for a relegation scrap on a Tuesday night. Ipswich charge more and got 21,000 for a nothing game last Saturday.

    People need to stop whining about the prices, that's unfortunately what it costs to watch football these days and its not going to change any time soon.

    This is one of the most successful seasons in our rather crappy history, we are almost certainly promoted yet people would rather stay away and waste £30 in the pub instead.

    I'm sure people will manage to find the money next season when the big dogs are in town, meaning its not the price but people's attitude that's the problem.

    Sad bugger that I am counted the empty seats on the tickets online website. 150 in the East Stand, and 500 in the Lower West are left. Too many to count in the Upper West.

    I thought it was 148 in the East.I would advise you to check again so you do not appear an inaccurate sad case

    The only reason Ipswich was so high, was because all season ticket holders could buy up to four tickets each for a tenner.

    Point is, the club should do what's necessary to make sure the stadium is sold out.

    It's amazing how these people who can't afford it suddenly can when we're in the Premiership isn't it?

    I think our ticket prices reasonable compared to other clubs, people just need to get off their arses and stop making excuses.

    Sky ain't that cheap either, it's down to people's priorities.

    We probably have the best ticket rates in the league, well one of the best.
    Especially for younger fans (16-22) seeing as though most clubs price brands for 18+ are adults

    Barnsley could either be a dead rubber or mean everything. Either way getting a ticket should not be an issue.

    99 left in the east stand now, 450 west lower, west upper looks about half full. North stand a ghost town = 19k tops.

    Pathetic.

    if the crowd is around 20.000 then that would be about full for the home crowd

    Agree 18,000 is dissappoinmting but times are hard, its an evening ko so fans living way have to travel back... and its on Sky..

    All things considered 18000 aint that bad when Bristol are bringing 62 fans..
