Luton tickets selling well

[Stayingup]

Less than 900 currently available in the ground

Oh thats fantastic. Lets make the atmosphere ELECTRIC!!!

[Lancasterclaret]

Gutted I'm on holiday now

[NottsClaret]

Strange isn't it.. obviously I want us to win every week and get promoted back to where we were. But when we were in the Prem towards the end I was pretty bored of it all and skipped the odd game to go and watch non-league instead.

Now we're back in the the 2nd tier, I can't wait to get on the Turf and was gutted to be on holiday for the Huddersfield game.

[Swizzlestick]

It's not that strange, really - the football being served up, over the last 18 months or so was, for the most part, dreadful. Lack of investment, increasingly staid and regressive tactics, teams getting our number and us not even giving them a proper game. A refresh is clearly going to have an effect. The problem wasn't the PL - it was our inability or unwillingness to develop and invest as it went along.

Same for me re: Wigan which looks to be a sell out

No idea what sort of “on the day/walk on” sales we get, but let’s hope the majority of those go in the run up to the game this week or the club do a deal with local schools/charities to make it a full house.

[MancunianClaret]

My missus dad is in his 70's and hasn't been Turf for a few years now, despite being a life long Claret. Always ask him if he wants to come with us but he's never that fussed. Jumped at the opportunity when I asked him if he wanted to come see us play Luton though!

Least you may be able to watch it . We would like to remind supporters based overseas that Saturday's first away match of the season at Burnley has been selected as the live international broadcast for the Sky Bet Championship. ( from Lutons twitter page )

I'm not sure it's logical to be dishing out freebies 4 days before the opening match, with a possible sell-out on the cards.

[rats]

Won't be near sell out loads of people on holiday!

[Quickenthetempo]

They have already sold the ticket. They can't re sell yours.

[rats]

Agree
There will be loads of empty seats people on holiday.

[Goody1975]

You do know the difference between a sell out and a full house, don't you.

[claretbob]

This all very exciting. Around 750 left now. Crazy that there are ilikely to be more Burnley fans in the ground on Saturday than we had for any home game last year. Unlike the Geordies, Mancs, Scousers etc. can’t imagine Luton fans are buying vast amounts of tickets in our end!

[IanMcL]

Less than 900 currently available in the ground

That is very good.
Why not the Longside Upper? Come on you Clarets. Let's sell out Turf Moor.

[IanMcL]

221 now in Longside Upper, so 40 shifted since last evening. Good rate. Wonder if we can get a sell-out? It's only Tuesday!

[bfcjg]

Let's hope the performance lives up to the excitement, I have a feeling it will

[mybloodisclaret]

I am away but have given my ST to a mate who is carer for his dad now so can't get on every week so doesn't have a season ticket at the minute. Surely most ST holders lend them out when they can't make it?

[arise_sir_charge]

Agree

If you go on holiday and don’t give your season ticket to a mate to use then you are a complete tosser. Fact.

[Aclaret]

Agree.......unless you have no mates

[Colburn_Claret]

I use to give mine to my son, but he can't pass for a 65 yr old.
I will be glued to my phone amap. Although our lass has told me it's a matinee we're going to see

[NewClaret]

My point was more that presumably the club know how many they’re likely to shift in the final days & will hopefully use that info to ensure we get it as packed as possible.

I’m the same. In the early Prem seasons I couldn’t quite fathom the thinking of those who said they’d become bored - play at the highest level you can for as long as you can etc. The last few seasons were hard though. Turning up week after week and not being confident of a result. The competitive ceiling for smaller clubs gets old after a while.

Looking forward to it again now.

Count me in the same bracket, haven't been to TM since the Spurs game in March 2020. There was no motivation to go back and watched a few Ramsbottom United games instead.

On the back of Friday night we have bought tickets for Hull, considering Millwall and planning for a hospitality package vs Bristol City. Hopefully the performance like at Huddersfield continues, trying not to get carried away!

[welsbyswife]

I actually think it's a really big game now on Saturday. There's a really good feeling about the town. When things click into place in Burnley the whole town and local area just gets on a roll. Let's hope we can repeat what we did last Friday and put Luton to the sword. Lift off.

Can you buy hospitality packages for single games ?

[IanMcL]

190 to end the day!

[clive40golf]

Just looking at the colour index! Decided to go for green. I hope they put me in goal I’m nearly 60

[Loyalclaret]

Yes a brochure came through the post from BFC the other detailing every area/price and it listed per game.

Sure it'll be available from the club

[wilks_bfc]

You can. I got a brochure last week through the post

Cheapest is Hamburg Suite
Cat A* £198
Cat A £119

Club reporting almost a sell out for home fans

It's a big game int terms of keeping the feel good factor going after Huddersfield, and it's also Kompany's 1st home game, so although it is only our 2nd game of a long season, 3 pts and even better a convincing win, would set us up nicely for the rest of the campaign.

Luton are no mugs, so it will be important the crowd stays patient if we don't bag early.

[ecc]

I think it shows the vast majority of Burnley fans haven't forgotten there's football played outside the PL. We had six years there which was no mean feat and I want us to go back. But we remain humble and know the Championship is a good league. Don't give a damn about the media who disdain it or the gloryhunters following "big clubs".

Club reporting almost a sell out for home fans

They read it here first

[MiltonKeynesClaret93]

Only about 750 seats remaining in the home ends according to the map.

[Top Claret]

Should be around 1750 from Luton I doubt that they will sell out

[Goody1975]

1,750, is that your estimation or insider knowledge?

I think if they bring anywhere near to 1,000 they'll have done very well, especially with it being selected as the overseas broadcast game for the EFL.

First three away games last season they took the following support:-

West Brom 1,433(Sat)
Barnsley 748 (Tues)
Blackburn 810 (Sat)

First away game of the season and not playing here for 15 years might bring a few more up.
That and us being seen as a big fish in the division.

You may be right, first away game and all that, my opinion is not based on fact but Burnley has never been the easiest place to get to for opposition supporters.

1,200 would be a really top effort, 1,750 would be more than some bigger more local sides will bring this season.

[IanMcL]

159 in the Longside Upper.
Getting there.

[Zlatan]

Popular game for Luton fans it appears. Just been in Maccy D’s in Dunstable (wearing my claret of course) chatting to a fan of theirs and he thought the appeal of playing a relegated team headed by Kompany will mean a few hundred more than normal.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Anything over 1300 would be a decent following by them

[Quickenthetempo]

On their site it says they can join an away membership scheme at 40 quid.
They must regularly take 2000 plus for someone to sign up to that.

Over the course of last season they averaged just under 1300 while coming 6th in the league

Just a guess looking like wide of the mark by your stats and Like others have said Burnley is bad to get to with the poor public transport links

[Quickenthetempo]

They might think it's worth it to guarantee a Watford away ticket then?

You might be right, first games of the season can throw up some strange followings. The more they bring the better it is for us.

[bfcbri]

Absoluted gutted to be missing this after being at Huddersfield on Friday as off on holiday for two weeks on Friday and so miss the Hull game as well!! At least I get back for the Donkey Lashers, and yes I have given my season ticket to someone to use whilst away. I must plan my holidays better next year!!
