Wouldn't sell mine, even for £100. It's great they've sold out so quick, but I feel sorry for a lot of the regulars that have missed out. Someone has posted on facebook that they went on general sale before 7pm and that people were allowed to buy more than one ticket. Not sure how true that is.
Also a shame that the council / h&s couldn't agree to an increase in capacity / or a temporary terrace put in place, or something like that.

Went on general a good forty five / sixty minutes before they were supposed too, were a couple of disgruntled season ticket holders in the queue when I left.

Picked up 2 no problem for me and a friend who could not get down there this evening but goes most weeks. I think 2 tickets per person is fine otherwise a lot of younger supporters simply would not be able to go as they go with their parents etc.

Here's hoping they held back some tickets for the season ticket holders, it would be appalling if after supporting the team all year you couldn't get into the final.

Yes season ticket holder tickets have been held back but only about 40 they will be given one chance I think tomorrow so some may become available. Ring Faversham and get a ticket like others have .

I think this whole season is a learning experience. No-one at the club realised how big the support was going to get and unless some membership scheme is in operation, then there is always the possibility that tickets will just get snapped up. I was one of the lucky ones tonight and feel sorry for any regulars who missed out. Let's hope we find the cash to get the ground expanded soon.

How about the council set up big screens in the town centre. Lets face it, they owe the club big time!!

As I have said on the other thread, this is a one off game and along with Sittingbourne and Horsham where we reached our capacity the other games we have played weren't sell outs, if they were the club owners would look at expanding the ground, it would be mad to get carried away over this game and try to grow too big too quick, let's trust the owners and understand they know what they are doing and we will grow steadily

I think 2 tickets per person is fine otherwise a lot of younger supporters simply would not be able to go as they go with their parents etc. Buying extra tickets for you kids is one thing but i don't agree with buying tickets for your mates who wasn't there while there is others in the queue. if that was really happening... |

I missed out, truly disappointed after hauling my arse to some godforsaken holes these past few years. Told to get down quick by a mate as daytrippers were out in force, but too late. I hope its not true that the club were selling more than the one ticket per person. This is what made me think I'd go home and have a bit dinner first. Guess there will be a bit of touting in the car park on Sat, how much would people be prepared to pay?

I could of purchased 3 extra tickets for people who dont go but I did not and would not. My friend has gone to more matches than me so I cannot see any problem. Anyway both of us will be getting a season ticket for next season so this wont be a problem again hopefully. |

The ground was designed to hold 3000, it's the Council who reduced it to 2000 initially and then upped it to 2226 just before the Brighton game. I think it's basically all about pinch points and the amount of time it takes to clear the ground in an emergency. Having said all that, it's pretty impressive how quickly it empties out at the end of the game, and I'm sure the club are in the process of negotiating increased capacity.
