Ticket opens at 9am right?

Gonna have to get on the phone sharpish!

No matter what... you will be on hold for 40 or more minutes, the number the club give out isn't the direct number to the Ticket office :S

I doubt we've sold 2,000 in the first day :unsure:

As much as i hate to believe it, we have done so. I am having to change plans and get tickets early tomorrow after being informed that the club expect to sell-out if demand continues by Thursday. Whether we can get more than 4,000 tickets remain to be seen. Officially, the away end at the City Ground holds 4,750. We may need those extra tickets!

OS say's we have been given 2000, with 2000 more if needed, which we do. I cant see us scrounging more than that, even though the rules state away teams should have 25% of the grounds capacity, for cup games. If required.....

Those 750 extra tickets could prove crucial! :unsure:

Indeed, but those 750 seats will most probably be covered in black cloth, between each fans....

Pathetic :blink:

I cannot honestly see Forest attracting a big crowd so the need for netting may be less. Although, on their website it does report "there has been an excellent uptake for the game". Still, they were getting delirious at the thought of a bumper 20,000+ crowd for Leeds. How the mighty have fallen!

There's nothing about us selling out 2000 tickets on the OS

I hope I can get a ticket for this game, if not then :cry:

But you get to the Ticket Office from it, so what's the problem?

Depends on how easily 25% can be segregated. A few years back, Liverpool wouldn't sell tickets to away supporters for PL games whilst finishing off the redevelopment of the Anfield Road stand, yet still managed to segregate an area for Celtic supporters in a UEFA cup tie about a week after playing City.

Early excuses for their poor support, doesn't matter if it's Leicester or any other piss poor support is still piss poor.

Oh yeah, we drew Leicester in the Carling Cup, by the way..

It keeps slipping my mind, but I suppose it's remiss of me not to mention it at all. A week tomorrow Leicester City will visit the City Ground to contest the 2nd round of the Carling Cup following us limping past Chester in the first round on penalties. After a muted response around the Forest community it's interesting to see Forest have reduced the tickets, and Mark Arthur attempted to stir up a bit of interest by saying:

"Having renewed our rivlary with Derby in the Brian Clough Trophy game in pre-season, it's great to be able to do the same with Leicester.
We hope the attractive ticket prices will encourage people to come along and offer their support to Colin Calderwood and his players as we look to book a place in the third round of the Carling Cup.
We're looking to attract a bumper crowd to generate a big atmosphere and make it an occasion to remember."

Hmm. I think not, Mark. You really haven't got your finger on the fan's pulses lately, have you? As if the contrived and staged family fun day extravaganza at Pride Park wasn't misguided enough - are you seriously suggesting that anybody has any feeling other then "Meh!" about Leicester City. Sure, they don't like us very much, and I dare say if you had to choose "like" or "dislike" as a Forest fan talking about them, you'd choose "dislike", but that's about it. On the flipside, the fixture seems to have captured the imaginations of the Foxes fans, who can scent an opportunity of a first City Ground win since 1972 - and let's face it, it's not an unrealistic aspiration for them. So if the fact it's a competition we shouldn't be taking too seriously, against a team who we don't consider rivals, for £16, and that it's likely to become a festival of leering blue-and-white clad neanderthals is hardly motivation enough for me to definitely commit to attending. Sorry Mark.Early excuses for their poor support, doesn't matter if it's Leicester or any other piss poor support is still piss poor.LinkOh yeah, we drew Leicester in the Carling Cup, by the way..

There was one at Wolves away last year, going straight from Wolverhampton to Leicester without stopping at Brum ;)

They called it the football speacial :)

Judging how long its taking to get through on the phone, they must have sold a fair few already. Or alternatively, they don't have anyone answering the phone :unsure:
