Rushden
Just got my ticket sorted on the phone. Took me a while to get past the engaged tone but once i got through was only on hold for about 2 minutes. Spoke to a friendly chap, who's voice I didnt recognise, who stated that they were even busier than yesterday so sounds likely that all the tickets will go today.
He also said that there were less than 1000 tickets left in the home ends for Monday's game meaning that there should be 11,800 in for that game.
No trauma at all and fair play to the staff for still being cheerful about it!!!

Well if you don't fancy U2 the following acts are on at the same time - if Oxford are rubbish the alternative is watching people go in and out of the bowlplex."boris" wrote:Oh come on.

If none of those take your fancy the Cider bus is always very welcoming.

Re:
Wow, that brings back a few memories! Can't spot any pics of me anywhere (which is probably just as well), but I went to loads of free fests (inc Stonehenge and Glastonbury) between '77 and '80 including quite a few that aren't listed on that site. Thinking about it, no wonder my memory's fucked!"scooter" wrote: Don't know if you've come across this site http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/festival-updates.html , there are some very amusing reminiscences from 70's free festivals on there.

Just to annoy GY a bit more, the tickets (well the ones I collected at Nene Park) were printed up as OPPONENTS TBC, which means they were presumably available to give to the opposition last Saturday at 5pm.
So there are even fewer excuses for not selling until Tuesday
A) The ticket office were still in Eastbourne on a weekend jolly and fancied a quiet Monday?
B) Ticket office wanted Monday free to keep selling tickets to season ticket holder for the home leg?
C) The Conference meeting at Wembley on Monday was to confirm the between the clubs and Conference how the share of all 4 clubs' play-off ticket sales would be divided.

Re:
By that I assume you mean the income from them. No brainer surely. Each club keeps their home gate receipts but I bet the BSP take a cut (b******s)"slappy" wrote:C) The Conference meeting at Wembley on Monday was to confirm the between the clubs and Conference how the share of all 4 clubs' play-off ticket sales would be divided.
Re:
I was trying to see if there was anything on-line about this very topic, and all I could find was a football league pdf from several years ago, where the 4 play-off teams divided up net proceeds equally between all 4."Baboo" wrote:By that I assume you mean the income from them.
