swansea have sold 2000

[tommytwoholes]

Well it appears that the game will be a whole lot bigger if you believe what is being posted in jack army net. Just been on there and they had sold nearly 2000 today with tickets still on sale tomorrow until mid day. Its heading for the best atmosphere in ages.

Come on you blues

Good on the Swans for selling out their allocation.

BBC Teletext has an article about the game on the regional pages, it says the game has sold out yet says '10,880' (or something like that) will be in attendance.

If this is the case, why are we using 1,500 seats for segregarion....

I don't think anybody really knows what the Roots Hall capacity is. It is always quoted to be 12,500 - but when we sell out we only get 11,000 approximately. What is going on there? I never know what the capacity is.

restricted view seats dont get sold. however with demand so high, i think they should sell them

Its a topic that has baffled all of us at some point.

I mean when they say "Sold Out" you would of thought that means that there is literally no seats what so ever available, but as Alex said it seems many of the seats deemed restricted view dont get sold full stop, which I think is a bit silly really.

Lets face it most of us would take any vantage point possible to watch games like this even if you have a post in the way or if your even below pitch level...

Who knows maybe its a health and safety reason as to why they dont make these seats available., i still think its a shame several hundred seats will always go unsold, think of the extra wonga that could be made...

We could go on for ages debating this, the fact is, the maximum capacity we could ever hold legally is less than 12,000.

Never mind im there Saturday and I will be shouting myself horse along with 10,000 other shrimpers.

Let's 'ave it!.

wasn't Yeovil last season a 'sell-out' the crowd was 11,735 if i remember correctly.

Gonna be intersting to see what the attendance will be tomorrow!

C'mon you Shrimpers!

Yes it was a sell out, despite there being a fair few empty seats near me in the North west corner...

Those segregation weren't they?

I think a sellout on Saturday, taking segregation into account, will mean about 11,300 - as I think there will be a larger number of seats cordoned off...

The North including blocks Y and Z (but not X which is included in the West) holds 3500 - but Swans only got 2000 seats, so at least 1000 seats will be cordoned off I think?

No, apart from the segregation there were other empty seats. It may have been a group who didn't turn up though as they were all in a row...

That's rubbish, they were given 1600 tickets not 2000!
