Well if they only get rid of half (or even 2/3) of their terrace allocation, doesnt that mean we can put a nice bit of red and white ticker tape across the terrace behind the goal (or a bit further along) and then issue tickets to Bees fans for the whole of the New Rd. (no blue tarpaulin needed).

Sorted

Well the first worry about this special event is over - all tickets have been taken up (therefore no laughing stock).

In the "Lesson's to be learned" part of this exercise, we have a new worry - how many will actually turn up? We all know how much people value something that is "free" - not much! i.e. if an uncommitted person has tickets and just doesn't feel like it that day - then they won't go.

So maybe (depending on actual attendence) the next time this concept is tried, the tickets should be for a nominal price, rather than free. i.e. a pound, 2 pounds, 5 pounds? Enough to still encourage people to go, but make sure they have enough invested in the tickets to ensure they'll actually turn up!

Maybe 2 "half price" games would be more successful than one free game in terms of gaining new supporters at the same or similar cost. i.e it might attract the more interested fans who are more likely to come back, than those who will grab anything free.

Just some input to the post "free match" discussion once it has taken place.

Full Praise still to the club for embarking on such a high profile and innovative exercise.

 

[Mr T Bee]

I think that a discount on another specific league game this season for those who bring their stubs from the Peterborough game would be a good incentive for casuals to return

p.s. if we play like we did against Swindon against Peterborough, we might as well forget all this!

 

[Edmundo]

If, as seems likely, most tickets have gone to season ticket holders and members, then lets hope they do their bit by making sure that the tickets get used!

 

[Simon C]

As of today 300 more tickets for the New Rd have been made available and 200 more can be if neccessary. So get a move on those regulars who were complaining about missing out.

This is also my worry, anyone finding themselves with spare tickets please advertise them here and lets make sure that we have no empty seats for this one. I am Introducing 10 friends to GP and BFC, hopefully 3/4 of these will again attend games.

 

[JasonBee]

If something is free people will take it even it they're not going to use it. England v Brazil U16's at GP late 80's was free and all tickets were sold. Attendence anounced as 12,000 but the ground was about half full. Hope that doesnt happen this time around. I introduced two people to Griffin Park that day, perhaps they would come back, only some team called Brentford play there.

 

[Mr T Bee]

Some advice: ARRIVE EARLY

The queues for Brook Rd and New Rd stretch to the street for most normal league games...imagine what it will be like for a sell out

So please, take pity on us poor turnstile operators and get there early so that we don't end up tearing tickets until half past 3!

 

[ShiptonBellingerBee]

We'' if any season ticket holders or members do have 2 spare tickets I'd love to take my 8 year old daughter to her first bees match.

email me if possible

I have had 12 tickets pass through my hands but not one for myself. I will stand/sit anywhere I can even if it means sitting with the blind fans, maybe I can keep my ears warm with some of those cans.

[Mr T Bee]

Once again, PLEASE turn up early! The gates will be open 40 minutes earlier than usual at 1pm, and with booze on sale in the ground theres no reason not to! As Bees regulars do your bit to ease the congestion, PLEASE! Otherwise there will be queues all the way to Brook Rd on both the Braemar and New Rd sides, not to mention a scrummage in the Brook Rd forecourt!

 

[WannaBee]

Don't make any assumptions Bucks Bee - wouldn't be the first tartan waving Bees fanatic ;D

A very good point but with all the non-regulars going I reckon we'll be lucky to have 8,000 inside by 3pm ! I'll deffo go early to secure a good Brook Rd place, its been packed for most games this season so gawd knows what it will be like on sat !

 

[SC]

Three tickets available for Braemer Rd.

Don't you just hate it when you do people favours and they let you down - Still, at least the tickets may go to someone who will obviously appreciate them. Preferably email me with your address (else use PM) and I'll get them (or however many of them you want) in the post a.s.a.p.

 

[Burno]

Imagine what the queues for the pies are going to be like!

 

[SC]

All three tickets offered above have now been taken.

Yes but you have to remember that we are only tearing off tickets for this one, even thought it is 8000 more than usual....but it still has to be quicker than usual when we have to piss about with change and a ticket!

However, do turn up a little earlier than usual people, and dont forget that if you have any spare tickets to hand them over to the gateman in case people turn up without a ticket! Thanks!

 

[Bermondsey Bee]

will our game at peterborough be free for all bees fans as we are letting them in for nought.

 

[scudnut]

Last week I managed to aquire 2 tickets for a work collegue (please don't pull me up on my spelling Turnstile Bee), for the last week I have been trying to track this man down as I don't know him that well. I found out yesterday that he is on his holiday and as he is from Glasgow and staying in company accomadation I presume he has gone home to Jockland. This typifies the situation of free tickets and oh yes please, can you get me some? maybe he didn't really expect me to come up with the goods but then I suppose it didn't really matter to him as the tickets were free anyway, anyway I would like these tickets to go to a good home, a GPG member if posible or someone known by a GPG member. The 2 tickets are for seats in the New rd stand (Block NRH, Row G, Seats 197/8).
As most posters know I work at BFC as a turnstile op, the tickets can be picked up from me before the game although I may not be working in New rd. I'm afraid if you joined the board since the annoucement of this free game forget it unless you are known as a Brentford fan by another board member, I would hate to be responsible for even 1 Stupihoop infultrating New rd for obvious future reasons.

COME ON YOOOOOOOOO REDS!!!!!!
