This is always a bit difficult to gauge because: the online figures might not include tickets in store, they sometimes seem to fluctuate over time, and the number sold may include people who usually pay on the day.
Still a couple of days until the game and seats have gone and online showing only 2 tickets left in the West Enclosure and 136 in the Family Enclosure.
Online currently shows 2707 available in total.
With it being a Bank Holiday, and knowing many normally pay on the day, it might be worth getting tickets in advance, or arriving much earlier.

I know one of my fellow travellers who attends irregularly has ordered tickets for the last 5 home games this week to make sure he gets one

And then hit the season ticket button as well! Fully on the Al-Qadi bandwagon!

Must be contagious, my fellow traveller did exactly the same, if it carries on at this rate there'll be no walk ups left for next season and we'll have to have beam back to various designated local hostelries Basically we persuaded him that even if he missed 5 or 6 matches a year his season ticket would still be cheaper than turning up and buying a ticket each week.

It's not just the cost it's the convenience, i honestly believe that if we get promoted matchday tickets may be scarce next season, i will miss 7 or 8 games through work but can't be arsed with ticket restrictions that will be more likely if we go up and sell a large number of season tickets. A lot of people who usually pay on the day are also buying season tickets when they purchase tickets for the last 3 games.

That online checker really does fluctuate. When I started this thread it was 2707 left, then last night down to 2364, and now it's showing 2580 available! Blackthorn End was down to 1131 and now back up to 1233. Rovers Twitter account posted West Enclosure sold out: twitter.com/Official_BRFCBut the online ticket page on Rovers website it is now currently showing 33 available!!!

All very suddenly gutted to be away this weekend and missing Fridays game. Two years ago I couldn't face going (although often begrudgingly did), now I've purchased the all ticket games in advance and considering ST for next year. Is the joy slowly returning, and lets be honest in the past it was never about success but the spirit the club had.

Bizarre, just phoned club shop and was told tickets online only for Friday. Went online and got a ticket for West Enclosure after reading it was sold out! Oh well. Definitely going to buy a season ticket, first time in years!!

Just a thought, if anyone from the club is reading this. Why don't we put all the Cambridge fans in the away section of the tent and let home supporters into the away end like we did last season? At best Cambridge will bring 150.

Cambridge have pretty decent support and expect them to bring at least 500 on a bank holiday.

Bought mine half an hour ago and apparently sales are going really well today. I reckon we could push 11,000 for this one.

10,000 always looks much better than 9,999. I hope we can begin to break that barrier regularly.
Perhaps look at some more temporary seating until we move if promoted?

Just phoned the club and asked to buy tickets. The guy stated that I could only book on-line. When I asked if I could collect on Friday he said the tickets would be posted first-class tonight. That's fairly risky as I live in rural Surrey. but when I decided to take the risk and book on-line 'the computer' says I can collect on Friday after all. Is there someone from the dark side working in the office?

Cambridge have pretty decent support and expect them to bring at least 500 on a bank holiday. You're right, I was surprised to see just how decent Cambridge's away support has been, this season. The team has been getting better results, lately, which has also boosted their away support. They have often taken over 1000 on their trips within the East Anglia / North London / East London region: Stevenage | 1270 | Leyton Orient | 1237 | Luton Town | 1022 | Northampton | 901 |
Still impressive numbers a little further afield (including York!) Wimbledon | 640 | Pompey | 587 | Oxford | 568 | Crawley | 501 | York | 474 |
Long trips, earlier in the season, were less well-attended! Yeovil | 257 | Hartlepool | 208 | Morecambe | 167 | Plymouth | 164 | Exeter | 123 |
The figures above were gleaned from Cambridge United match reports. I have found no information about games at Carlisle, Barnet, Dagenham, Wycombe.
