    I know what the attendance was, the question was how many of those bought their ticket on the day.

    I’ve only had a season ticket once, but I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve paid ‘on the gate’, because generally we plan ahead which games were attending.

    And historically buying on the turnstiles meant getting v poor seats, where there are better empty seats available.

    3 of us paid on the gate. I would have paid online but couldn’t get through the system on Friday night. After having to search and search for the tickets online, (website absolutely determined that the only tickets I wanted to buy were bus tickets or Derby tickets), the system kept crashing.

    £18 from the turnstile or £5 from the box office.

    The only tickets on sale on the turnstiles are adult (£22) or concession £18.
    The other tickets of under 14s and under 19s are only available in advance from the box office or online

    Yes but it also says that it isn't available on the turnstile and must be bought in advance from the box office or online.

    I suspect it's more that they don't trust turnstile operators not to charge people £18 and put it through as a fiver ticket or something like that

    If that really is the case it's extremely counter-productive.

    We have somewhat different definitions of 'disgrace'. Seems like a logical thing to speed things up.

    It was possible to just walk round to the box office and buy a child’s ticket for a fiver and make sure you got a seat next to them.
