That’s not a yes or no answer, it depends where it’s fitted, whether it’s from new or retro fitted etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I think is our absolute limit. Everyone wanted to come and support us that day, plenty of neutrals in the crowd. If we could have squeezed any more in I am sure we would have!

Carnero Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Out of interest, does anyone know if there are rules dictating the maximum number of season tickets that are allowed to be sold? I know there are minimums that have to be allocated to away fans, and match-by-match home tickets, but don't know what the minimums are. For example, if there are 6,000 seats still available to be purchased as season tickets does this give any indication as to how many season tickets have now been sold, or would they just stop all sales at a certain number if it were hit, say if they got down to the last 3,000 seats?

There's always a small percentage of no shows for various reasons and with a 32+k crowd, this will amount to a few hundred. The capacity now is probably around 33k, as a number of seats have actually been taken out for segregation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment there are around 6,300 seats available to buy as season tickets, which will also be same seats going on general sale in the couple of weeks. There is also some that are held back until the rest are nearly all sold, which could be several hundred. We have been told that season tickets sales have already passed 20,000. I don’t know what the maximum amount of season tickets we can sell is, but in the past we have sold 23,000+ and possibly more. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules may have changed and we probably wouldn’t need as many player/official or away tickets to he reserved. Foreveram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted earlier we had 23,211 season tickets in 2015/16 but not sure if that had been surpassed, I think it’s safe to assume our limit is now around 23,000.

One of our group has terminal oesophagus cancer. It is so difficult to renew knowing that one of us won't be there. He's insisting we renew and a mate in the North Stand will take his seat but it seems so sad to actually do it. We'll probably wait until the last week. Paul passed away early hours of Sunday morning. A Mickleover lad who went to Bemrose, did an apprenticeship at Leys. Life long Ram and brave as a lion. RIP mate.

My sympathies mate; my dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer recently and is about to start his treatment so I can understand how hard it must have been/is at the moment for you all. Let’s hope the Rams can bring some cheer for us with a promotion winning season (though it won’t for my dad, he’s a Millwall supporter!). uttoxram75 and Kinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
