Jason and Debbie on DN35

Quoted from Poojah

Tomorrow looks set to be a home sellout; very little left even in the Osmond and Main Stand. Swindon took 632 to Donny and whilst the extra 45 minutes and the second away Saturday on the trot will probably knock a few off that, you’d imagine they’ll still bring somewhere in the region of 400.

With the August holiday no-shows that will have affected the Northampton attendance we should be on for the biggest crowd of the season. Not bad for a regular, early-mid-season game against Swindon.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

There’s several selling tickets on the various Facebook pages, will not be near full.

Quoted from quebec38

I think that would have a been a good question for last night regarding addressing the no-shows.

Not sure where I stand on it or what’s “right” or “wrong”, just open to discussing what does seem to be an issue developing.

On the one hand, people have put their money where there mouth is early doors and deserve the right to reserve their seat and turn up as and when. On the other hand, I feel like people have seen the clamour for tickets and bought season tickets with the intention of only turning up for maybe half of the games, so that they don’t miss out on a seat when they can attend.

Not bashing either side here, like we keep saying - it’s a nice problem to have.

I think the button you can press to release your seat online is obviously a help, but does everyone know about this? There are the same empty ST seats around me game after game.

This is easy really. As a big town fan on a wave of optimism I bought a season ticket for three reasons:
a) it's a donation to the club, b) when I go I can sit where I want, c) I can get tickets to away matches
If the club had a resale facility, I would let them sell my seat whenever I can't go (like tomorrow) for no payment. I checked the site today and couldn't find such a system.
It's not easy being an exile and 220 miles away. I was half way up the M1 on the Friday before Crewe when my mates at the EFL decided I should be in mourning and cancelled the game. Thankfully I discovered the Cleethorpes Taphouse and Kitchen, my new fave (sorry Notts)
I'll be there Tuesday for my first floodlit game in Grimsby for ages and again for Bradford in October but in between there'll be an empty seat. I paid for it with hard earned so really don't think anyone should be upset about it


A conundrum I’m glad I don’t have to solve! I’m sure we’ll find the right solution though eventually as after all, this is still a new phenomenon.

My reply to Quebec got rather mixed up so here it is!

Go into your account or register if you haven't got one. Once in your account, choose My Current Tickets, then Show More and there is a tab to release tickets.

It could and should be easier to access in my opinion, but the facility is there if you look hard enough.

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Jason seems to think there isn't a problem but the difficulty getting 3 or 4 seats next to one another with a respectable view say otherwise.

Quoted from forza ivano

Then may I suggest you (and others) get in contact with the Trust & DC with your concerns. I'm not disagreeing with you and I'm sympathetic with the view that why should people have to buy restricted view ,uncomfortable seats, when there is a better alternative available.
I don't usually criticise 1878 but it's 1 area where I'm surprised at their instransigence - surely we need to be making the whole match day 'experience' as comfortable as possible.By their stance of not freeing up the Ossie blocks early they are de incentivising people to come. Surely it make sense to sell the decent seats and then offer the restricted views after that, not before?
