Has it sold out ? I went into the ticket office last wednesday and the bird in there said it should be sold out by friday. Club going to announce a new criteria tomorrow as they've been very quiet on it? Surely we don't have 1200 fans who went to 7 aways last season.

Officially sold out.

I can't understand why they can say that Tim. I have it from a good source that there were not 1211 fans that did 7 aways, rough figure I was given was around 1100. Bearing in mind some folk that did 7 aways may be on their holidays and therefore will not go/buy tickets, I would hazard a guess there would be apprx 150 left over for a new category/criteria. To say they are not going to lower the criteria for the surplus is cause for concern. If I had only done 6 aways and knew that there would be a suplus after the first criteria had had their chance. I would be extremely pissed off.

1211 would've included the quota of complimentary tickets for the players.
There were literally a handful of tickets left in the restricted view areas at close of play Friday. Presumably the last few trickled out over the weekend.
Club have been pretty robust and refused tickets both in person to people who didn't qualify and also rejected applications from supporters groups, who didn't meet the criteria.
Problem is Spedger that there would have been several hundred more who did 6, so how do they decide out of those ?There’s also sponsors and players families to deal with.
Maybe Bournemouth should be told they need to expand their ground or give a minimum of 2000 to away sides ?
It’s tough that we’ve got them first off, but we’ve got plenty for the rest of the games, starting with Huddersfield.
Doesn’t seem to be such a clamour for those.
If you think about it though, it’ll be the ones that do Huddersfield who get the first crack st tickets after the first 5 games are done, so the opportunity is there for others to get on board after Bournemouth.
If anyone is only interested in the Bournemouth game, but not Huddersfield then do they really deserve to get one over other fans ?
I hear what your saying Tim. It just seems strange they stated a criteria of 7 with no deadline for purchasing and then state 'Sold out; Can we assume that some fans who did 7 have missed out. On to the Huddersfield game. Any news on when tickets are going on sale. I know they have set a criteria, but as yet there has been no news on dates of sale.

Good job we had Bournemouth first, imagine if it had been, say, the 10 th game of the season. There’d have been plenty, well over 1100 who’d did all the previous 9, would the club have had to go back to last season then half way through this coming season. Headache for travel organisers that it’s out of the way from the kick off.
First Bournemouth:-- Cardiff fans only have themselves to blame for this fiasco (as I stated before). Bournemouth's away stand holds between 1500 to 2000, BUT we have been punished 10% for not sitting down in the correct seats, then a further 10% for going in the disabled area and not moving when asked.
As Tim has stated, "It was never going to drop".
There was 1 ticket left at noon on Saturday and the ticket office would not sell it to me, as I only had the name and number of someone who had been to 6 games.
Huddersfield:---- No news yet, apart from what's already out there, which is a 4 away game criteria.
PS:------ ARSENAL, is NO-WHERE near sold out
I was under the impression the 1200 is all they have to give anyone.
10% of capacity.
Last season it was 1325 looking at what other clubs were given.
This was for virtually every game .
I was at the meeting Tony yes. And yes the club were saying that we need to try to sit in the correct seats or risk having allocations cut.
There was also something about people going in the disabled area, which they said might affect it.
However it doesn’t change the fact that every club had 1325 tickets there last year for Premiership games.
Not 1500 and not 2000
We may have had ours cut by around 10% - hence being 1211 instead of 1325 , but that’s it.
We’ll only know for sure after the next side to go there has their allocation set- Everton
No, I had grade A in maths and advanced maths then straight firsts in every one of my accounting exams. So no problem with the figures.
However I was not aware that EVERYONE had had 10 % taken off their allocations, especially as I find it hard to believe, if this is the case then surely every other club at every other ground will be doing the same to every other visitor? Or is it only Bournemouth that enforce this ?
Does that mean that the Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs games will only have 2700 allocations and also only give the same to everyone else ?
There’s a bit of evidence here to show that Bournemouth reduced allocations last year due to changes in stadium layout.. ( accessibility stadia work), rather than due to standing for all clubs.

Also see here explaining why they had to lose seats to comply with new disabled access requirements- this will apply to ALL visiting clubs
http://www.espn.com/soccer/story/304...s-requirements
If you look at the plan it seems seats have been taken out of block 124 in the corner for this improved access.
Looks like 1500 figure is now out of date.
As I mentioned earlier, thank God Bournemouth is out of the way early. Couldn’t bear this messageboard if we were playing them in April when chasing the title, chance of death threats😱😱😱
Yeah. Scumbag University
