CFS tickets for premier League matches.

Post by 2 Bee Holed » Wed Oct 20, 2021 6:00 pm

Does anyone know why tickets are not available for the CFS for Premier League matches, yet they are for the Spurs cup match?

Thanks.

I believe it results from the trouble after the Arsenal game, the club will not be selling matchday tickets for the CFS until a safety investigation has been conducted.

Is it because they are not allowing any more than the season ticket holders in for league games?

I could understand that, but why then are Spurs tickets on sale?

To allow ST holders to buy their seats?

I think for cup games the away fans are given a smaller ticket number, allowing a gap on the away side to keep fans apart.

However for league games, if the away section is sold out, then selling less tickets in the CFS will hopefully allow crowd control.

This is the club's plan I presume anyway rather than identifying the troublemakers and banning them.

For the cup, they will only sell certain blocks starting with the 3 furthest away from the usual segregation barrier moving closer each time the 3 blocks sell out, however if they sell the 3 lots of 3, they will keep blocks 5,13 & 21 allowing for far wider segregation.

To be honest I don't think they'll get anywhere near the 6 blocks furthest away being sold, so there should be minimum of 2 blocks of segregation for the cup game, and the games closed to the extended home area.

IMO for league games they won't sell any tickets in the CFS until
A. The apparent investigation is complete and/or
B. The rest of the ground has sold out

It's pretty full in there anyway, and they're the cheapest seats, so possibly advantageous financially and logistically to try and get people to sit elsewhere if possible.

Edit - blocks shown below...
