Yea, east terrace v Yeovile adult.. Brilliant how can I get in touch. Send a message to 02. I sorted a ticket for someone yesterday through this forum. I haven't seen the club say it was a sellout as yet though. May be worth calling the club if they habe tickets left, you may be lucky and have one put out for you, to pick up from the ticket office. I knkw they have done this before. It doesn't make any sense to not sell the remainder, IF there are any. The official Twitter had not called it a sellout the last time I looked good luck fella |

I agree with KP. Anyone who finds they are now able to go to the game today there is no harm in contacting the club. I've had a look back through the updates on the official website about Yeovil tickets and they all say it's all ticket, but none say you can't buy a ticket on the day if it's not sold out. When we've had all ticket games in the past they have put specific messages to say there will be no tickets available on the day of the match, but none this time. Just before the ticket sales closed on the website there were just over 400: bristolroverssc.co.uk/2016/04/15/yeovil-tickets/ |

Correction ...
I've just seen a tweet from the BRFC Official page, replying to someone, to say:
"... the game is All Ticket Craig. No tickets available on the day of the game...".
Would have been helpful if that had been stated clearly from the start.

I thought everyone knew how all ticket games worked! Well, yes, I had assumed you wouldn't be able to buy on the day when it was announced the last three would be all ticket. However, there were lots of people asking other fans, and the club, on facebook pages, Rovers twitter, and the forums. And not one of the several posts the club made about ticket sales mentioned you couldn't buy on the day (until the day itself), when it used it be standard practice to add that disclaimer. It seems such a waste to have 400 tickets sitting in the office, when there are potential buyers out there. I'll add a few other thoughts a bit later. |

I know that the club made supporters aware the game was all ticket, and fans had plenty of time to buy their tickets in advance. But there will always be a fair number of people that only know they can attend a match on the day of the game, and for a whole host of different reasons.
- There will be those that are let out of work early, or manage to get time off at the last minute.
- There will be self-employed people who find they've been able to get a job done quicker than they thought, or turn up to find they are no longer required.
- There will be others that didn't get paid until just before the game.
- There are 'fair weather' supporters who want to know they won't get drenched during the game.
- Those that were going to attend Auntie Doris's birthday party, but she fell ill the night before.
Anyway, there must be quite a few who make their mind up, or have their mind made up for them, at the last minute.
I could understand if there was a handful left, and the club wanted to avoid any potential problems at the ground and people making unnecessary journeys, but at 11pm there were just over 400 home tickets available.
Surely it wouldn't have taken much to organise a couple of people to come in early (generously imbursed), and a message sent by the club to say there were a limited number of 400 tickets available, and the match day ticket shop would be open from say 10am or 11am, on a first come first served basis.
- If you flog around 100 at £15 that's an extra £1,500 in the kitty.
- If you flog the lot that's an extra £6,000.
I don't understand why you'd turn down the opportunity of extra income, while also preventing people attending and your team getting extra support.
When the club hadn't previously stated you couldn't buy on the day they had the chance to do this. As long as they cover themselves with a warning about the amount of tickets left then I can't see a problem with them doing this. Perhaps something to think about if there are a certain number of tickets left for the Exeter game.

I'd imagine the police would've had some sort of say, but yes I would've thought what you suggest might've been possible. Maybe next time, surely next week will be a complete sellout though?

Would like to think the Exeter game will sell out. Then again I thought tickets for the Yeovil game would go in advance, and the club probably expected that too.
I think quite a few people have been selecting games, with more going to away games again this year.
That must cost some a few bob, but then a number could probably save pennies cut back on the number of pints they have on away days!
Looks like there are just under 1,150 still available online for Exeter.
