Are you OK? You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the number of people who choose to buy a ticket for a football match
We sold more for a meaningless end of season game in 2019. So disappointing.
Now they're on general sale I'd expect us to shift a lot more.After 18 months of no away games and largely having our freedoms restricted, are you honestly telling me having to wait until general sale is the barrier to buying?
If that’s the case, tickets should be flying out in general sale now regardless.
I bought my tickets today, but I hadn’t realised the tickets were on sale. That has probably played a factor into why ticket sales are suppressed.

I would never criticise the number of fans that go to away games, it s the ones that don’t travel.
some on here say our away support is the best, well those that go may be but to even state that Forest support is shit like was said on Monday is frankly an embarrassment when it is double what we will take to Barnsley and after 18 months away and in a higher division I would have expected to have sold many more.

i’m not disagreeing with you but people keep saying they expected us to sell loads more- what is this actually based on? We saw at the weekend that people aren’t actually bothered about the 18 months away

Lots of entertainment is like this. Look at movie box offices right now. People still aren’t comfortable going out it seems.
i think a lot is hype as well, it’s just another season. There was never going to be this huge tidal wave of people desperate to go to a football match over & above those who would have gone anyway.
Right, when did these tickets actually go on sale?
It's going to be a mix of both isn't it? And probably balance one another out somewhat.I genuinely thought people would be itching to do *anything* but it seems not. Generally people seem to either not be comfortable or have got into a different routine.

Would be interesting to know the split TBH. Very different tactics needed to tackle each group. I suspect a lot of our fans had got new routines anyway, so there’s an element of reengagement. If it’s discomfort then maybe something could be done to push the socially distance stand (that’s still a thing right?)
Went on sale today apparently. Not sure what % off though.
People have got used to spending their wedge on other things, stocking up their new garden boozer with supermarket alcohol, buying half a cow, to cook on their recently installed fire pit, hot tubing their bollox to bits whilst streaming Ifollow on a IPTV fire stick on their new outdoor TV.
In my opinion all away attendances will be down, until the dark nights start to draw in, people have invested too much money in their garden not to use it.
Nobody avoids football to sit in their back yard ffs
They’re not avoiding it, their watching it the way they’ve got used to watching it. And saving a fair few quid doing so.

Barnsley sounds great, how much for a 3 bedroom semi with a garden boozer and a fire pit?
This is bang on. My mates who have STs will mainly only go to home games, odd away if its easy enough. The lads i go to away games with for the most part dont have STs and dont go many homes.A lot of our hardcore away following don't have season tickets though. It could be 2/3 season ticket holders out of a group of 10 that go away. Last season, and going back for as long as I can remember, the STH could have bought all 10 on day 1 of sale. Now all of those need to wait until general sale.
It’s not just Barnsley pal have a look on social media from last summer, every fucker was on the band wagon, the fact is people have got used to streaming games and they’ll continue to do so.
I'm not sure there is any evidence to back this up
Come on here Saturday evening and every one will have seen the game, and most of them won’t have been to Oakwell, watching football as changed.
10 shillings and walk the guys whippet twice a weekBarnsley sounds great, how much for a 3 bedroom semi with a garden boozer and a fire pit?
Until ofcourse you see full premier league stadiums every week home and away supporters alike .
Football is the same
Fuck the premier league we’re talking about championship teams. Mark my words everyone on here will watch the match Saturday but they’ll not all travel to Oakwell.
I was thinking of stoning them but photos is a great idea.Agreed. We should print the names of all home fans who haven’t bought an away ticket in the CT. maybe put their pictures up on the scoreboard so we can all boo them. That’ll raise sales.
They're on sale? Fucking joke again. I paid full price for mine and haven't seen anything at all about cheaper tickets. Disgrace imo tbh.
