VINCE ALM:


Cardiff are taking the lower options of away Support for West Ham,Watford and Crystal Palace.

Just a word of warning regards premier league rules ticketing for those who are unaware.

Each visting club are given 3 options of amounts of tickets they want and given a 3 to 4 week before the fixture deadline to respond with their request.

For example west Ham option were 1400 sale or return, option 2 2000 but have to sell at least half of the last block or the visiting club pays adult for all unsold tickets.

So the amount Cardiff had to sell was 1700 odd, luckily they sold out this morning. option 3 was 3100 tickets but Cardiff would have needed to sell 2500 odd not to pay for unsold tickets. so based on early sales Cardiff took option 2 which worked out.

Watford is nearly sold out couple hundred tickets left, but Palace is quite slow. At the moment Cardiff are on option 2 1700 odd tickets with a figure of 1400 to sell. The third option is just short of 2700 but Cardiff need to sell 2300 minimum or they stump up the bill. We are currently at 1100 and not selling many!! Cardiff deadline is tomorrow

If sales remain quiet Cardiff will have no option than to take the 1700 option so if you want to do Palace you need to show some interest for them to take option 3 otherwise it will remain at 1700 odd

Tim,
We were offered nearly 2,600 tickets, we choice the smallest allocation and the. Had to lower it to zero criteria.

Same with West Ham & Watford Away we choice the lower allocation.


Palace , yes I saw that. A bit early to have to decide with so many other games on. Then they sold quickly.
I’m having to turn people away from our coach.


Watford- surely we’ve got the normal one 2200 ?


Capacity is under 21000, so they don’t have to give us more.

Tim,
Personally I think we could sell the full Away allocation for Watford away, City seem to be over careful for some reason??
