[WheatleyRover]

So who's going down the keepmoat saturday?

Come on let's at least get a decent turn out for the lads, what place better to be on a Saturday than the keepmoat for some F.A cup action!!

Get ya sens down to the keepmoat!!

[RobTheRover]

I suspect there will be about 7000 there.

i went to get my tickets in the singing end today and there was quite a few getting tickets, I dont think there are that many seats near the top of the singing end, I got mine right near the drum

[dknward2]

Wonder if any of the non playing players will come and join in the fun

I sure JR will make a cameo at some point

You're quite right Barber, if you go onto the Keepmoat ticket office WebObjects and online ticket sales, you can see what seats are still available and there aren't many left in the back rows of the 2 blocks in the 'singing section', in fact having had a look at the other areas,I think quite a lot more tickets have been sold since the site was updated.

Still plenty of room though and you can pay on the day.

Il be buying 4 tomorrow, hopefully as close to the singing section as possible !

At £10 a pop what better way to spend your Saturday afternoon. The lads deserve some support off the back of Monday.

At £10 a pop what better way to spend your Saturday afternoon.

According to Mrs JD last night, the best way to spend this Saturday is decorating the Hall, Stairs & Landing!!




















... So got my ticket this afternoon

Unlucky thenit's shocking he can't even play it right.He just bash's it every now and then(don't know how Graham and barry),but suppose it drowns Mr Croft and his crew out spouting sh1t out

[eastender]

I suspect there will be about 7000 there.

Ticket Sales 3660 + 1423

With 5k being sold as of this morning ( away not been updated 4/5 days ).

 I can see County bringing well over 2k and with 3 day's left , Rovers selling  another 2k . so hopefully 8000+ .

[Milepostuk]

Does the cheap tickets apply to certain areas of the ground or can I sit in my season ticket seat for that price?

[MrFrost]

It is £10 everywhere, apart from the South Stand which is closed.

It is £10 everywhere, apart from the South Stand which is closed.

And apart from the East Stand halfway line. Which is still premier club seating (All home games, league or cup, are included in membership).

And going back to the hospitality debate, can I suggest that anyone wanting a warm place to sit pre/halftime/post match and something decent to eat and drink look at the premier club as an option? I don't know if there is still a waiting list, but I think it's a good match day experience and worth it.

[NickDRFC]

How much is a prem club ticket? I remember looking round when it opened and it seemed a lot of cash to stump up up front - is this still the case and how does it work out compared to a season ticket in, say, the East stand?

I've been in a few times with a mate, it's pretty good. Prefer the director's lounge however, food and drink free in there!

[benaldo]

There are 3 levels - Silver, Gold, Platinum. I think I'm right that Silver gets you a seat low down by the pitch on the halfway line and access to the lounge. Gold gets you seat to the left towards the south stand and you get one car park space for every 4 tickets, you also get access to the lounge. Platinum are seats in the Directors section right on the halfway line and also slightly to the left of that, you get 1 car park space for every 2 tickets you have and access to the lounge.

All of them, I think, are a one off fee (think ours were £1000 per seat, but that was for 25 years and the 5 year \"lease fee\" is cheaper I think.) plus a monthly fee of between £50 to £90...roughly I think....and that monthly fee includes all 12 months, not just the football season.

You also get first dibs on away tickets, and anything going on at the stadium...if you're into mcfly......


Basically the beauty of it is that I remember the cup run a few years ago and having to queue for 2 hours to get tickets. Now if Rovers have a home game, be it league, cup, friendly, we get in without any hassle, we just turn up. Oh, you get a free programme each too, and the food up there is honestly really very good, if a little pricey. Ditto the drinks. There is always a large selection of freshly cooked hot food like pies, roast, lasagne, chili, veg, chips, wedges, yorkies, etc etc. Hot chocolate, bovril etc at halftime. AND...it's warm!
 They put on special guest speakers from time to time and sometimes the odd player is up there too. We get the match announcer up there giving us info and conducting interviews and we get to know the team line-ups at about 2pm.
See, there are other options for you to have a different matchday experience. I just like being able to drive right to the stadium to a numbered parking spot, sit down and have a nice meal and a drink, soak up the atmosphere.

It's not for everyone, I know, but I like it and it's always very busy and has a nice atmosphere up there.

I see the latest addition o the hospitality options is the Belle Vue Box which will be hosted by a Rovers legend, first one vs Cardiff City with Sir Francis Tierney as host. Actually seems like a good idea to me for once from the Commercial team (assuming it was their idea)

Ps if you lie the sound of Benaldos premier lounge life, you can of course enjoy pretty much all the same benefits fr a fraction of the price in the VSC boxes.

Except that you don't get the car parking and your seat isn't on the halfway line (where are the vsc boxes?). But I imagine it's fun if there is a group of you who want to hang out in a box?

Do you get your food thrown in for the entrance fee to \"the vsc boxes\"?
