Surely we only got 2000 vice 3000 on Police advice? I'd heard Brighton will get the same when they come to Selhurst. I must confess whenever I've been to the Tampax it's always with a sense that it will all kick off.

Nothing to do with Police advice. The clubs agreed the allocations. Rangers/Celtic, Spurs/Arsenal, Liverpool/United/City don't have reduced allocations. Biggest game of the season and reduced allocation is out of order. Am sure the Prawn sarnie brigade get tickets.

Prawn sarnie Brigade! The lot am going with are all nutters & the most loyal supporters, all been going away and home for donkeys,we got tickets 1st phase
The only issue I have is the criteria should've included those who not only have points bit go to most away games as well but I suppose with only 2k they had no choice.

Doesn't make sense tho why not 3k allocation?

I'm one of the 4200 points bridgade so am going try to and get my ticket tomorrow - any idea how many are left?

 
iheartcpfc Flag SE25 03 Nov 17 10.53am

the club need to get a f***ing sense of pespective. How do you demand a lower allocation to save money rather than allow up to 1,000 more Palace the chance to go to the second biggest game in 5 or so years? A real disconnect at the top now, it's a shame.

big PR disaster for the club. And it is our first meeting of Brighton in the Prem.
The criteria seems so strict, that if the club returns any tickets, it will be seen as justification for taking the lower allocation

So the Club run a loyalty scheme encouraging fans to buy tickets and purchase stuff to boost their points then when a game comes round that the points really count towards they agree to reduce the allocation to 2000. Amongst that allocation the HF have been give 130 tickets. rarely see more than 50 HF at away games and most aways there are only about 10.

Points taken, but HOL radio was quoted as saying there were 600 tickets for the HF. Did anyone else (mis)hear this ?
It's not the HF's fault.
The club chose a lesser allocation, and how to sell tickets.

Bit of a shambles really

OK, I've now listened to some of the HOL radio podcast. The show was hosted by Terrance. He interviewed a 'Philpot' who had 1500 loyalty points, but said he had a ticket for Brighton via a relative who was in the HF.

Didn't hear the HF allocation

And as for the beamback. ?

I feel like the club have used this exercise as a Rugby initiation ceremony.
More fool me, to go back for more

Its fine, let just grab tickets in S1A in the home end...

I hope that anyone who wanted to go, but now can't because Palace took a meager allocation, wont be handing their hard earned cash over to Palace for the beamback.

Perhaps that was why they done it, too get more people into Selhurst. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

They'll make a fair few quid that night through the bar for sure

also consider that for the SP game they can sell the home seats for £15 more each because of the away ticket limit...

Maybe Philpot's HF relative has 6000 points but cannot make the Br*ghton game due to work commitments? As long as Philpot takes both his ticket and season card, then he will get in as the names on both will match

You and I both know what's happened. Let's not try to dress-it-up as anything different to what it is

Just reading a post on the BBS,saying hat palace tried to get the full allocation,but the police (both sussex and the met) agreed to the 2000 limit.

Personally i think its absolute bollocks how do they do it for the big derbies,f***ing joke.

Its f***ing brighton vs palace,not rangers celtic....w***ers of the first order

The lower allocation had nothing to do with Palace. Brighton imposed it, supposedly on Police advise (it was advise, the Police didn't insist on it). Palace then reduced the allocation given to Brighton fans from 2600 to match the 2000 tickets we have been given.

I would have thought that the police would have preferred to have Palace fans at the stadium rather than searching for them in the pubs of Brighton and Lewis.
