Just hope its keeps as a bring Coventry home and not a SISU out day.

Can you pay on the gate?....

I'd like to know this too, am struggling to get to ricoh before kick off on sunday

Tickets are selling like hotcakes! Make sure you get yours early preferably in the days before the game. They can be purchased from the ticket office in the Ricoh Arena atrium today (Thursday) 2-7pm, Friday 1-7pm, Saturday 9am-6pm, and on the day of the game, Sunday 10-12.30am). Only a limited opportunity will be possible to pay on the gate after this and we want to avoid long queues building up. Please have exact cash ready please (£5 adults; £3 children and concessions) as cheques and cards cannot be accepted on the day.

I tweeted Froggy asking if he's playing and he said he's been invited but trying to get a flight back. Would love to see him playing a role.

Got my half dozen this morning too. C'mon you City fans. The biggest chance we'll get to stick two fingers up to Sisu.

[trick2]

I've never been in that bit of the stadium before so will make a change!

Tikcet office done just shy of 2,500 yesterday and opened early today to cope with demand..

add 3000 online

and maybe 2500 per day

around 13000 - seems about right

 

[oakey]

Underestimation I think.
Many people at work, on holiday, no transport to Ricoh just for a ticket will pay on the gate, including me and as many as I can drag there. We will go late morning.
I will be amazed if attendance is less than 15,000 and fully expect close to 20,000.

 

[deanocity3]

I ain't got mine yet

 

[Jonny]

Just confirming, you can pay on the gate, right?

 

[luwalla]

Yeah same here, I asked the guy if they were expecting maybe 8-10k then.. And he said at least 12 was what they were hoping for

 

[Johnnythespider]

I bought 5 today, where the feck is block b ?

 

[Walking Bird]

Just confirming, you can pay on the gate, right?

You can but only going to be a few cash turnstiles open.

 

[jas365]

CWR have just said that 2000 tickets have been sold, that can't be right can it?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Who's right and who's wrong?

 

[ccfc_Tom]

@Lesreidpolitics: Just over 2000 tickets sold for #CCFC legends matchSunday at council's Ricoh Arena, while #CCFC play 'home' game at Northampton

Not sure where Les Reid is getting his info from. 5k sold so far

Is that 5k including the online sales?

that was my thoughts. google the ricoh seating plan and you will see it, it's the posh stand. I have no idea how you access that part of the stadium though!
