Fulham ticket allocation mixup?

[e8 ranger]

Just called up Fulham to try and get a ticket, they are not putting any on general sale apparently as have to be a member. the guy on the phone claiming that qpr oly asked for 1600 tickets rather then their full allocation of 3,000. Seems strange if true especially as this is now sold out

[Ric-Roc]

If true Rangers need to sort it out for games like this we would obviously sell out.

Anyway just glad I have mine.

Block P6 let's avvv ittt.

went down the qpr box office to get a fulham ticket friday at around 4.00 pm.
the young largish chap behind the counter told me they were sold out, when i ranted why we were only given 1600 tickets, he said that it was out of qpr hands and all down to the fulham side of things, he thinks it was police orders. mmmmm......

seems qpr blaming fulham and vice versa

cant imagine we would turn down 3k with the way the club is at the moment, no doubt it is a police issue?

Seems like the old bill are looking for any excuse to stitch us up and slap bans on left right and centre. First Luton and now this.
Wait til Chelsea when they'll start throwing civil bans in for being in a certain pub by association.

The ticket problem at Fulham was discussed at length on here a couple of weeks ago. The club only took 1600 as in their opinion we would not have sold 3K at £49. This decission was made before the takeover and new signings.

Up to when TF took over we the fans have been moaning at the price of home tickets so the club, who would have lost out financially if they took all 3K but sold only 2K, may have decided that if QPR fans won't pay £45 to watch at LR then no way would 3000 pay £49 for Fulham.

Dissapointing now, but if the takeover didn't happen how many would actually have paid £49?

Just a observation - fans are still moaning about ticket prices, memberships etc for LR so why are we all scrambling for every Fulham ticket available, even at £55 plus fees etc from Seatwave?

first year back in the premier, fulham away, i think it speaks for itself, especially with speed that the tickets were snapped up. believe me, if that putney end, and i mean the whole putney end went on general sale, it would of sold out.

TF tweeted on Friday, I think, stating that we only asked for the lower allocation as the QPR management team were worried that they would be left with unsold tickets to pay for, especially when there are acres of neutral sections.

Be interesting to see what the crowd is as if Fulham will only sell to their members, that means none of the usual Korean tourists would get a ticket and their usual ticket give aways wouldn't be applicable.

Erm, because they want to see the game?

In that case people should stop moaning about our prices!

And judging by our away following at Wigan, Everton & Wolves, the Lower allocation is the more prudent one.....

As for home crowd, I'd imagine plenty of empty seats. Crispin & Tarquin will give this one a miss as their vintage peacoats would be ruined if they ran into some frightful qpr brutes.
