Swansea City Ticket Thread - Saturday November 2nd (12.30pm)

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

Early sales are very strong for this match. More than two weeks out and there are only 790 home seats left, which are distributed:

North Stand 100
East Stand 113
South Stand Upper 142
South Stand Lower 435

By contrast there are currently 1,858 home seats available for the Hull match 3 days later on Tuesday 5th November although it should be noted these only go on general admission sale at 12pm today. These are split North 413, East 261, SS Upper 318 & SS Lower 866.

Swansea already sold out their away allocation of 1497

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

10.30pm update on Saturday two weeks out from the match and only 543 seats left so strong sales are continuing for Swansea. Another sell out for certain.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

3pm update on Tuesday and just 398 seats now left for this match, distributed:

North Stand 76
East Stand 74
South Stand Upper 48
South Stand Lower 200

A good result this evening and we will be close to selling out original tickets by the end of the week.

Swansea don't seem to travel that well so unless the fact that this is one of their nearer matches and we haven't played them in a while brings them out this could be one of the few matches where the away team don't sell out, certainly on a Saturday.

They've sold out already.

They've sold out already.

They only took 450 to Blackburn, we must be the divisions big attraction.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

6.30pm update on Wednesday and only 285 home seats left now so sales remain strong for a match which will definitely sell out.

3 of us in Oxford shirts tried to get in the Swansea Jack back in the 90's. Only 1 got in and the Welsh Bill spotted him at the bar. Arranged for a two horse private escort to the ground else they said he would have been killed.
The good ol days!

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

11pm update on Thursday and just 192 home seats left now, all of which are single seats.

Imagine the ticket exchange will open soon, either Friday or Monday.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

The ticket exchange is open for this game.

 

[BillyTurleys CurlyWurly]

Is there a Hull thread? @Thecurraghofkildare

Surely will be our lowest crowd this season?

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

5.15pm update on Friday and there are now 236 total home seats available - 178 original seats and 58 exchange seats.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

Re the Hull match, 5.30pm update on Friday and there are currently 1,335 home seats available, distributed:

North Stand 266
East Stand 163
South Stand Upper 272
South Stand Lower 634

Sales are slow and this will definitely be our first non sell out of the season (not sure whether Derby was technically a sell out - there were 57 original seats still available at kick off but we sold more than that number in exchange seats so as good as a sell out!).

What triggers the sale of exchange tickets as although they are visible on line to purchase at the moment I’m unable to purchase?

Normally when tickets remaining are under 100.
I expect that exchange will come online tomorrow

re the Hull game - although its looking like being the lowest league gate of the season so far, it should still be around/over a 10k attendance. It wasn't that long ago when 10k attendances were seen as an achievement, nevermind over 10k attendances ( which the Hull game is likely to be).

 

[holdsteady]

If it looks like a decent amount of empty seats for Hull by the weekend then it’s a chance for the club to do something with them, freebies to local businesses etc, good chance to schmooze.

Beating Swansea may help though. Frustrating to have a midweek game either side of half term but nit actually during half term.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

7.15pm update on Sunday and 205 home seats in total are now available for the Swansea match - 107 original seats and 98 exchange seats

Yep, I remember starting lots of threads banging the drum in the hope of getting 10k crowds for games much bigger than (with respect) Hull on a cold and dark Tuesday night.

I was pleasantly surprised to see 11,400 against Derby and think we'll still be in or around 11k for Hull even without the club doing any deals to bring others in.

And to think that some numpties in North Oxford were saying that no one carried about live football!

I still think it would be a nice touch for the club to give tickets to local companies for the game, even it is 50 tickets, it all helps to building relationships with the community.

A lot of that already happens, or at least it happened over previous seasons. Just not something that is widely publicised.

 

[NorthWestOx]

By my records, the Swansea game will be the 50th game at the ka$$am to achieve an attendance of over 10,000.

Surprised it's that many. Feels like the majority of them have been in the last 5 years.

Correct, just 20 upto the end of the 2018/19 season, then 23 in the last 4 seasons, and 6, so far, this season.

11.30pm update on Monday and strong sales today - there are now just 126 home seats available in total of which 65 are original seats and 61 are exchange seats.

Listed mine on exchange - 12.30 kick offs are a grade A pain.

Have you made a home game this season?

 

[Essexyellows]

Nope - Middlesbrough is when you can put the welcome mat out.

Some Home & Away in January are in the diary as well.

Prolonged refurb at EYTowers has to take priority, short term pain long term gain and all that.
