    Not if each person had an average of three season ticket books and a couple of centenary cards!

    My point exactly! If every person had just bought their own seat and A N Other then ...

    they would have been able to serve far more than 150 people. This figure was based on the average no. of people they'd been serving per hour over the previous 2 days, but doesn't really give you an indication of what this equates to in actual ticket sales.

    150 people served all day saturday at oakwell

    1,200 tickets sold by bristol rovers in 90 minutes for the barnet game last month. Why can barnsley only manage 150 people in a day's trading on saturday yet league 1 bristol can sell 1,200 tickets in 90 minutes?</p>

    oh and their ticket office is open after lunch on saturday and they open sunday too.</p>

    150 people with an average of 4 season ticket books and 1200 tickets would have been sold

    Don't Bristol Rovers have a lot of standing areas? Hence it's fairly quick to sell those as you can print all tickets off in advance.

    Barnsley took 180 minutes to do what Bristol did in 90 minutes. Sorry I'm getting all Eaststander-ish today! :pff

    depends how you look at it. You can look at it and say they only opened for 3 hours and so they did it in 180 minutes, or you can look at it that it was a days trading, the fact that the company chose to only open for 3 hours is irrelevent, they weren't forced to close.
