Luton away

[fmttmadmin]

Just been to a Teams meeting.
We will get only 1000 tickets - unreserved seating. That means 10 % less than reserved seat capacity.
I said only problems last year were people struggling to find empty seats. I asked if they could discuss at Luton if the tickets could bd reserved. It would give us another 100 or so and be no pronlems finding a seat. Unreserved seems to be their policy.
You need a home counties postcode and buying history to get in home ends. Obviously Luton fans will be just as eager as us to attend.
I asked aftrer game if blocking off streets around our cosches to please communicate with us.
But last year there weren't real problems. No reason to think it will be any different this time.

What's the benefit of unreserved seating?
I can only think of the obvious disadvantages.

You get a ticket, you can sit with your mates, regardless of when you buy it.

Unreserved seating is terrible. If it's sold out you end up with loads of people unable to find a seat. Then theres loads of aggro because the stewards try to get everyone to sit down, with people being unable to find anywhere to sit. its just a stupid needless ballache.

Either give people seat numbers, or expect to have everyone standing in the isles. Giving people aggro for a fault of their own making is typical of the s***y way in which football supporters are treated.

If only 1000 available and about 100 already gone to away season ticket holders plus whatever they hold back for other "priority" reasons, it's going to be a bit of a scramble despite being on a Monday night.

There won't be many other tickets held back on a Monday I don't suppose but yes they are going to sell out very quickly indeed. We never seem to get them on a Saturday afternoon kick off do we. TV intervened for Jonathan Woodgate's first match on a Friday night. Then we were beaten midweek as one of Neil Warnock's final matches in charge.

Do you know when they are going on sale and what the points banding is going to be @fmttmadmin ?

 

[Facefuzz]

Must be 220 or even 230 surely

But no more than 238 haha

Unreserved seating is OK if there are plenty of free seats, but not when every seat is sold. Surely everyone can see that?

Example families with children need to sit together?

Yep theoretically it helps people to sit together, but when it's sold out it can make it much harder

Thats why they have reduced capacity by 10%.

 

[the_holgate_roof]

Surely Luton would lease with the away club before deciding on reserved or unreserved seating, it makes no sense for sell outs.

Presumably none of the seats and rows have lettering and numbers on them.

Yes but it still doesn't really help if you enter into an area that's busy and there's no seats visible.

 

[Boro4life]

Wonder how many we get for Rotherham and if I have a chance at 180 points

2200. It could sellout at 190 plus, if that was the case at Hudds (can't recall).

No it doesn't and I was one who struggled to find any last season until I went right up to back left where they all were. Chaos.

Actually Huddersfield had a very left for 170 points but they went in seconds, so all 180 points were catered for.

I don't think Rob can disclose ahead of the official MFC announcement.

Seats are numbered. Pretty sure they havr to be.
I heard about problems from another away club earlier in the season that is how I realised they were all unreserved as a policy
