Has it sold out yet? 14:37 - Dec 19 with 23867 views | dingdangblue | Normally with massive cup games like this we get regular Twitter/Facebook updates from the club about how many thousands of tickets we've sold on the first couple of days? Photo's of queues on the carpark,? Nothing. [Post edited 19 Dec 2019 14:42]

Superb effort. Let's hope we can persuade the day trippers into attending on a more regular basis. |  |

Brill!! So if these figures are to be assumed correct... Total Capacity... 9961 Sandy Lane 1898 Main Stand 1921 Willbutts Lane 3549 Pearl Street 2593 Lose a block in Wilbutts for tv and a block in Pearl St, call that 1200, leaves 8761, minus another 100 for unsold tickets, we should be looking at over 8500, which would be awesome. |  |

Really hoping we can get over 9000. No reason why not with the supposed figures on the seat plan. |  |

Of course, everyone will be getting money off vouchers for the next home game. And there will be a draw for a free half-season ticket and £100 cash to everyone who hands in a form with their contact details on it ..... probably. |  | |  |

They’ll need to close off a load of seats to erect a big screen to show Prince Harry’s mental health video! |  | |  |

But if you Google it, it says the capacity is 10249. I couldn't see anywhere that they could have put another 2000 people today. |  | |  |
Has it sold out yet? on 21:00 - Jan 4 with 1714 views | dingdangblue | So the sold out Tottenham game was just under 8500 and today's practically sold out game was just over 8500. I take it that 8500 is our capacity now? |  |

A sellout without the TV cameras would give us a few more seats. |  |

But the Wilbutts has 3500 seats and we offered them 3100 to allow for any TV space. They stood throughout so you couldn't see any empty seats but we announced that 3015 turned up from Newcastle. The Pearl Street had a lot of empty seats in the family block and there were some empty seats in the mainstand. I guess we still have a capacity in excess of 9,000 |  | |  |

There were a lot of empty seats in the Willbutts block nearest the pearl street. I assume our inability to manage large away crowds means the capacity for the stand has been reduced. I also overheard someone on the stewards radio that away fans in the home ends could be moved there. |  | |  |

Again according to the online seating plan every seat was sold in the Pearl St apart from 16? Maybe it's a question to be asked at the forum? How many tickets were sold compared to people actually attending? |  |

Perhaps someone attending the fans Forum could please ask the question: What is our Definitive Capacity? ( any breakdown of Stands available?) |  | |  |

RMBC will issue a licensed capacity as I understand it. This will be ratified at safety group meetings when TV plans are known. The Trust requested that a Trust representative attend one of these meetings so they could report back to fans. |  |

That breakdown provided in this thread was official via a question to the Trust. It may have now changed and much as it’s an area of interest, not sure it’s something that needs to be raised at the forum when time will be at a premium. Maybe just email the club or the Trust who can ask again? |  |

Was there a subsequent follow-up to this or have I missed it? Apologies if so. |  |

I'm pretty certain there was no follow up, but if there was then I have also missed it. |  |

Agree with this, its not something to be established on the basis of a random question in an open forum. I'm coming to the conclusion there may be no definitive answer, odd though that may seem What is even odder though is the inability of the club to communicate, when clearly its a matter of interest, especially regarding efforts to maximise income at big games. On which note, i was pleased to hear it announced that Newcastle fans travelling by coach should avail themselves of the bar in the Willbutts whilst the coaches were delayed...

Re your last point, I thought the same! I had an image of Bottomley forming a barricade around the coaches, not letting them set off for the next hour. |  | |  |
