Luton are selling tickets for the game against us at the following prices...

Adult: £14
Over-65 / Under-22: £10
Over-75 / Under-19: £10
Youth Under-17: £3
Acc Junior Under-10: £1

Should be the same price for Town fans.

Nice, but they could have just wrote the top one here only, and not the bottom...

Being under 19 is the same as being under 22

We’re not going to make much from the gate receipts then, unfortunately.

Can't complain at them prices. I'm sure they've figured they'll get 50% more through the door so revenue would likely be similar anyway. Bit of extra dosh for some throat lubrication. Let's have it, loud and proud

On sale to season ticket holders tomorrow morning

https://gtfc.co.uk/ticket-information-luton-town-a/

Doubt I'll get my hands on a ticket seeing as though I probably won't be able to get on line at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning because work gets in the way

I'd rather the club had stuck to the 7 o'clock release and sorted out the glitches & gremlins that this threw up

They surely aren't all going to sell out immediately.

Would be surprised if we even sold half of the allocation. 10 days notice, before Jan payday for most, trains best part of £80 a spin. Can’t imagine anyone’ll struggle to get a ticket for this one.

It’s the 4th round of the FA Cup and 20 miles from our London fan base of course we will sell out.

Abso-bloody-exactly. Said there was no way I was going if Luton won the replay.......just bought tickets for 4 of us.

Bought 4 tickets. Hate Kenilworth Road and haven't been there since it was an AstrTurf pitch.

Said I wasn't going to go to the 4th round unless it was Wigan away, but the kids have twisted my arm around my back. Putty in their hands :)

Definitely. This is one of those games where the away following really could help the team get a result as you wouldn’t expect Luton fans to be particularly enthused by the draw (which is probably reflected by the pricing).

I’m actually looking forward to this now, shite draw and all that but it’s a proper old fashioned cup tie at an old fashioned football ground with 1000+ mariners, and I’ll whisper it quietly but I’ve got a sneaky feeling we might nick it.

They'll see it as a great opportunity to get to Round 5 and get a really big tie. Hopefully they take beating us for granted and we surprise them.

Haha for sure. It was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek dig at SoC because he got absolutely caned after the Swindon game. But everyone does need to be on it, players and fans alike if we're to stand much of a chance. I'm sure we will be

No idea how sales have gone this morning tbh other than personally

On line for 9-00 am ( thankfully very little traffic on the A63 today )
20 minute countdown to 0:00
10-15 minute black hole where nothing happened except an error message
403 : Forbidden : Access is denied
Then the ticket purchase screen appeared and after about 15 minutes thinking about it, purchase confirmed

So got sorted for next Saturday but imho still too many glitches..... x away lads & lasses 😂

Don't think they've all gone have they? 22 min countdown to me, have to refresh as it hits zero exactly and it lets you in. Took me well over half an hour to succeed though, lot of people can't do that. VenueToolbox needs either massively upgrading or the provider changing. It's proved time and again (Notts County, Harrogate and Luton now) to be unfit for purpose.

Bought mine at about 2pm with no problems. Can't believe I did. I can't stand Luton as a place or the ground!

Seems to be an overriding sense of this. I texted someone at FT on Tuesday with "FFS I don't want to go to Luton", was never going to not go.

This hasn't happened since 2000, so might as well have never happened as far as I'm concerned!

Do you have your season tickets linked? I can, for example, buy four at a time cos I sit with three other people and the system is all linked up for this purpose.

Those are the reasons it didn't sell out to STH.

If you look at our travelling support to somewhere circa 200 miles away in the North - Barrow for example - circa 450 - fantastic number for a Tuesday night, but compare to London area Tuesday nights last season, that was a regular 800+, that gives a measure of our regular London / and SE support - circa 3/400. They might not be all Town fans in that number a few will be Town fans dragging along footie-mad mates.

Great to have this big exile support, relative to our home crowds it's probably one of the biggest in the League. Doesn't put that much cash in the coffers of the club mind.

‘Oh there’s a lovely young chap on the Grimsby forum who carries 58 rolls of gaffer tape in his car boot. As soon as he spots an elderly lady heading towards a trip hazard he rushes over and tapes the cables down. He does a lot of work for charity too and I hear his föreskin smells of Puligny Montrachet’.
