The Voice - Match preview Morecambe vs Bradford City Saturday 19th August 2023 3:00pm

Just been down to pick our two tickets up and guy in the ticket office/shop said the Morecambe tickets are going well.

 

I was surprised that the level dropped from 1650 to 1600. I thought there would be a bigger fall. I guess anyone 1590 or below will be in tomorrow free for all.

 

Bet by 9:03 tommorow they will be all gone. I'd say 200-300 left for free for all for season ticket holders

 

I'm surprised that there's still seated tickets left with only having 1 block. I got my ticket at lunchtime today and the reference under the seat is 1104 so will be a like Stockport and only a couple of hundred available for everyone else.

 

I think there are two blocks not just the one. We appear to have 1,600 tickets which is more than Walsall were given.

I've not got my tickets as yet, but can see I have been allocated Row R.

 

I think that the timing in the main holiday season will have an effect. We will be missing both Stockport and Morecambe for our annual family holiday. No option given grandson's school holidays and parents work commitments.

 

My bad, I misread what I said about the seating section. I read the Beyond Radio A Stand and added the word block before A in my mind so thought it said block A

 

Am away in Bridlington for a festival that weekend so can't make it. Shame as have enjoyed the trips to Morecambe!!

 

Sold out.
Last 600 tickets went in 10 mins.

 

Good thing about this fixture is we can get rough ideas that any fixture asking for over 1600 loyalty points will see around 1000 supporters in that category.
I know there could be more but it's a rough idea.

 

Yeah I was surprised last season when I thought the bar for Carlisle tickets was relatively low at about 1350. I had several hundred more at that stage and was wondering where I fit in, it seems I am very comfortably in the top 1,000. So beyond Harrogate Town and Barrow if I maintain this level I'll be good for nearly all games.

 

Barrow were doing upgrades to the stadium in the summer which if they aren't completed now they will be by the time we play them. Once complete it will take the away allocation to around 1000 so anyone who is in the top 1000 if they keep going should be fine for Barrow making Harrogate the only really tough match to get tickets for.

 

I think behind the goal at Harrogate is actually being upgraded.

 

Allocation at Harrogate currently is 400. Carlisle put this on their website. Forest Green and Morecambe has also confirmed allocations of 400, not that either of those two will actually need 400 tickets but it does look like something is happening at Harrogate, hopefully to expand the ground.

 

I'm now on over 2000 points and I bet I still don't get a ticket for Harrogate, it is always a frantic scramble and pure pot luck. Annoying thing is, the small home contingent means they could easily allocate more tickets to us but decide against it for whatever reason, strange philosophy as you'd think they'd want to maximise profits

Disappointing really, it is one of the few grounds I have yet to visit

 

There is no reason why they couldn't give us standing down the whole side of the ground as all it means is moving a bit of segregation further along.

I get the feeling the police bab themselves which is why we always play at 1pm.

 

Only need to move it to 12:45 to be able to be on iFollow. For this game it doesn't matter though as it's on an international weekend so it'll be available on iFollow at any time unless Sky pick the match.

 

Premier League and Championship games used to kick off at 12:45 without issue, this season Sky and TNT Sport have games kicking off at 12:30 on a Saturday, 2:45 will just be a guide and games won't be cut off if they get to 2:46
