    they are underestimating the greed of season ticket holders who will buy the tickets jus to sell on and make a few quid. Even if they are selling to Wednesday and Leeds supporters.

    Ordinary true supporters left in the lurch to fight over the scraps!

    Glad to see a few more in Oakwell last night, 3,000 of the bandwagon...just after a Wembley ticket though /poo

    or putting them on Ebay. Thats the thing the playoff final was not an FA Cup semi and it was before ebay was so widely used.

    Yes of course we'll all do that

    The only occasions I've ever posted tickets on ebay is when I've bought cause I wanted to go and then ended up not being able to....and only once have I actually got more than face value back - I'm just usually trying to cut my losses.

    Only spares I'll use will be for genuine fans, and my mates are the same as well.

    Or perhaps folk who can't get to weekend matches and took the opportunity to go. You beggar belief.

    I think we could sell a lot more tickets now that..

    ... the game is on Sky. Not as widely available as the Beeb.

    Eh?

    Oh you are changing tack now from , season ticket holders are greedy and will put their spares on ebay, to season ticket holders shouldn't be able to get 4.

    There's a difference - I agree with the 2nd one, but that's not my fault and if I know fellow reds fans who want tickets then I'll help them get them.

    So, let me get this right.

    A club get crowd 'x' for a low-key midweek league game. They have a MASSIVE win in the FA Cup, with huge publicity across all the media, that puts them in the semi-finals. The crowd for the next home game is 'x' plus a couple of thousand more. No ****, Sherlock!!!

    Shock headline!! SUCCESSFUL CLUB'S GATES GO UP!!!!!!

    Stop the press!

    Extra 3,000? extra 1,300 at the most.

    just over 600 Ipswich fans = 10,700 reds fans. 9300 v Colchester who brought just over 100. Not many wanting the stub because most will know a season ticket holder so there wont be as many pigs or white ***** as you think.
