Chelsea tickets (sold out)

[Willis88]

I genuinely can’t work out what you think has happened then?

Bit of a witch hunt going on as people are concerned about others selling on.

People forget that even the older supporters would relish the opportunity to see Argyle go toe to toe with a top 6 club.

My Grandad (rest his soul) would have been chomping at the bit even with half a hip missing.

Lots of home tickets on re sale sites if anyone wasn't able to get an away ticket. I know several people who have done this.

I would imagine its pretty straight forward. Those season ticket holders who had no intention of going would either of known someone who would want to go or have been asked by someone if they could have their ticket and therefore still purchased one.
I cant imagine season ticket holders wanting to make a profit so would let theirs go for face value.
It is what it is and if it means that season ticket sales increase in years to come, then all the better.

Nothing strange going on. It is actually about a 75% take up by ST holders. Remember several hundred tickets will be assigned to sponsors, staff and players.
I hoped my flexi would have got one even though I wouldn't have used it myself but ensured it went to a genuinely deserving fan.

It is weird to me.
The demographic of our season ticket holders, the 12:30 KO, the fact is it available on red button, the game being in London (which like it or not is a pain in the arse) - and yet 6,000 out of 7,000 ST holders bought a ticket.
It doesn't add up.

For themselves or a friend/family member.

Not so weird if you think about it.

There are hospitality packages available (bonafide) via Viagog at circa £100 ish including a meal and drinks package.
Not an option for all but certainly an option. These packages allow the more discerning to watch the spectacle in a style not befitting myself but……

Is there someone more deserving than another flexi holder?

Surely what you're suggesting would be just as bad as an ST holder buying and passing onto someone they deem as a deserving fan?

I’m so happy that it’s a standing event. I have a back row seat in the Lyndhurst but am always seated. Seated football is just never right, it’s not the theatre. Understandly there are the infirm and aged but that’s always been catered for and rightly so

My son is Chelsea. Obviously I cant get him a ticket from PAFC so he went onto the Chelsea site. All sold out. Go on to "legit" ticket resale sites and tickets are on sale for £60 or so. How many tickets go to these sites, spivs and others like Ticketmaster etc.

What position does he play?

It is counter intuitive to me that the 7000 season ticket holders would buy 5500 tickets (allowing for a generous 500 comps) within 24 hours given they can only get one each. I guess my intuition is probably just wrong on this, but as I say it doesn't feel right.

I can’t make the game and at least 8 family members would have taken the ticket off me for face value. That’s not to mention friends who’ve also asked me. I’m giving mine to my son who was a season ticket holder but follows Argyle on the road from his Coventry base. Gutted I can’t be there mind.

You need to remember that anyone’s chances of getting into Stamford Bridge again in the near future are highly remote!

A fair proportion of the demographic of Season Ticket holders would struggle to stand for 90 minutes.

So: They shouldn't be allowed to go? They can't buy tickets? They're decrepit forgetful old ***** who don't know what they are doing? Someone should stop them embarrassing themselves poor old *-*******?

I know that you probably have little idea how offensive you are being.

I have been standing at football for nearly 60 years.

I prefer to sit for a 'normal' game but to suggest that anyone above a certain age can't stand for 90-120 minutes is discriminatory in the extreme.

No, I'm not going, I'll be riding a manta ray bareback unless I'm deemed too old to float these days.

I left my ST ticket in the mix, I sincerely hope that you didn't get it.

Tbf, Whilst I feel sympathy (and would agree, in a seated area have a point), in this instance it is those who have ignorantly brought a ticket in a standing area that are in the wrong. Therefore they shouldn’t expect those in front to sit down. It was advertised as a standing area before tickets went on sale.

Asking people to sit in an authorised standing area is the same as expecting someone in an all seated area behind you to stand so you can stand!

It is however an absolute joke, they have advertised this as a standing area whilst not locking the seats in the upright position. This is going to lead to the same arguments as those standing in seated areas but reversed this time, standers will have the moral high ground and won’t be able to be kicked out!Safe Standing will only work where they you give no choice. By that I mean designate it a standing area but don’t let those who wish to sit, be able to pull their seat down and then shout sit down to those in front. Seems crazy they didn’t designate one tire as standing and one as seating IMO.

The seats in the Shed End are not the type that can be locked in the up or down position.
