Mike the Metal Ed Posted 24 March 2012 Posted 24 March 2012 Anyone Know if you book train tickets for this in advance are they much cheaper ? You'll face a wait either side if you do, it's Off-Peak only for the trains around kickoff and full-time, but try www.nationalrail.co.uk and see if you can find some at an agreeable price.

Dan Posted 25 March 2012 Author Posted 25 March 2012 Anyone trained this before? Living in Narborough, I can easily jump the Leicester barriers getting on there, do they have them at Peterborough and do they check tickets? Doesn't sound like we've sold many. Poor.
Guest Bilo Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 They did last time I went, but that was when the police were on high alert because Barry Fry decided to tell the police we were on a par with Millwall in terms of troublemaking. Whether they'll be a bit more laid back this time round remains to be seen, because as you say our sales seem a little disappointing. A win on Tuesday and the potential of going into the game 2 points off the play-offs might gee up sales a bit though.
Dan Posted 25 March 2012 Author Posted 25 March 2012 If they check tickets I'll just buy whilst on the train. If I booked now I'd pay the same as if I bought on the day so if I book, I'll pay £19.50 return, if I don't book, I'll either pay nothing or £19.50 return, only time it's worth booking in advance is if you have a railcard.
Corky Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 I've never noticed ticket barriers at Peterborough station.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 The Peterborough station when i last went there (Last week) had its entrance/exit moved to the end of the station due to it being redeveloped. Precviously there were no barriers and i dont think (not sure though) there are barriers now. But sometimes people do check tickets for you.
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 Who pays a booking fee on the trains? Just use a train operator's site like CrossCountry or East Midlands Trains. The Train Line etc. are a con.

Weekends are off-peak. You can get a day return for £12.85 on the day with a railcard.
JonnyBoy Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 i always use www.thetrainline.com, wasn't aware using a diff website would be cheaper i.e. no booking fee. wonder how many we will take, a win on Tuesday and i reckon it will be close to sellout. Also, anyone know that if i buy my tickets for forest game online, will they get posted to me in time?

Leicesterpool Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 Cost £32 for me and my dad, singles at £16 each way. Cheaper than buying a return what would have cost £55. I'll be on the 08:52 leaving good old Nunny. Arriving into Peterborough at 10:15, coming back on the 17:52.

Jackirius Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 I use national rail website, that just adds up your journey and then takes you to the operators checkout. Pretty good. Just booked my tickets to pboro, £14 return, should have booked them a few weeks ago at £8, would have saved myself a few pints.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 Carnt wait for this especially if we win on Tuesday! Got a feeling that the atmosphere is going to be immenese!
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 Weekends are off-peak. You can get a day return for £12.85 on the day with a railcard. I meant he won't get an advance ticket. Yes, it'll be around that.
Kitchandro Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 We must have sold 2,500 by now surely? Second allocation was given out on Friday. I'm sure we'll take 3,000
acooling08 Posted 25 March 2012 Posted 25 March 2012 Few questions: - Are there any Terrace tickets remaining? - Will people be standing in the seated areas? - What are the ticket office opening times?
