Dagenham (A) - Ticket update & General chat. 1,500 SOLD .. NONE LEFT WHATSOEVER

[wally4pm]

I know its a few weeks away yet, but when I collected my tickets yesterday the box office stated that we have only sold 400 of the 1,000 away tickets allocated. I thought these tickets would have been snapped up like gold dust. Surely we'll take our full compliment (and more?). After all its only a short train and tube journey to Dagenham East (or a short drive along the A13). I personally will be going by bus as it is nearer to my house than Roots Hall! It should be easy for us to outnumber the home support surely? Lets turn it into a carnival.

:thumbsup:

Title changed wally, don't want to give them any extra incentive to turn us over now do we :winking:

Our allocation is 1,200 and that is it unfortunately. We cannot have anymore. We will of course sell this out easily, as general sale only started today. I would urge all those who have not got a ticket yet, to get one. As it is highly unlikely you will be able to buy on the gate on the day. Well, for the Southend end anyway.... :winking:

 

[alginon1]

any idea what the train route would be : is it Dagenham dock on the Fenchurch st line, and a short walk?
Cheers

Was only being descriptively accurate Blueblood!

Alginon1, take C2C to Upminster and change onto District Line tube train and it is 4 stops to Dagenham East station. Turn left out of the station and it is about a 5 minute walk to Victoria Road on the left handside. The ground is at the far end of the road. (Or just follow all the Blues fans!)

Wally as you're inthe area, is the Tube okay that day as TfL seems to be suggesting that there maybe maintenance going on that day. Not sure from their website if it is all day or just overnight. It says DISTRICT LINE: Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November, suspended between Tower Hill and Upminster. Saturday, after 2000, and Sunday, before 1300, but if you use the journey planner it talks about replacement buses.

 

[wally4pm]

I'm afraid you are correct. The tube is not running that day but there are replacement buses running from Upminster Station to Dagenham East. However, they do tend to be erractic and slow. Cunning plan number 2 might be to get a Liverpool Strret line train to Romford and from outside the station, catch a 103 bus towards Dagenham which stops outside the ground. (This is the bus that I will be using!). Better still, get on the supporters coach or cadge a lift!

I think the pricing is a big let down as ALL concessions are £13, which is expensive, so most of my clan aren't coming :(

Also, just checked on Dagenham Website, if you buy in advance for home tickets, Adults are £15 and £17 on the day, 8-18 yr olds are £6 in advance and £11 on the day and under 8's are £1 in advance and £11 (yes, I said £11) on the day!

Rip off for us!!!

I thought there was some sort of legislation in place to prevent disproportionate pricing ???

No idea. I just got it straight off their 2011-2012 Home Ticket webpage.

I don't doubt what you are saying Hils, i just remember some years ago Sheffield United were charging £9 behind one goal (home end) but £21 behind the other .. there was some sort of test case which led to clubs being prevented from charging widely varying entry fees for similar accomodation

You missed a bit off the end of that message.

Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November, suspended between Tower Hill and Upminster. Saturday, after 2000, and Sunday, before 1300, also suspended between Wimbledon and Putney Bridge. Rail replacement buses operate.

£19 for our stand compared to £15 to stand on their terrace doesn't seem disproportionate to me.

Thank you my friend - best try and now get a ticket. I think I'll drive maybe a safer option

The tube is fine unless the kick off has been moved to midnight.

I was thinking more the fact that all our under 18s are being charged £13 and theirs are £6 but from a pedantic so and so like you i expect nothing less :winking:
