Just popped in and got mine, only 60 tickets left!

City would have sold an extra 3,000 imaginary tickets by now though.

Wouldn't be too suprised if we're sent another 500 or so.

hope so as it's sad not to let everyone who wants to go to go, especially with 5 days to go before the match.

BUT I suspect Oxford Utd are under pressure from various socurces (their own fans & maybe Police), not to give more and let us create an even better atmosphere.

I doubt Oxs will sell out; bit of supporter fatigue could be creeping in with so many big cup matches for them.

On the flip side they'll probably have a few more casual fans after their cup upset against Swansea. Someone pointed out that Portsmouth were given a larger allocation that us, I don't know whether Rovers turned that down or what but we'd sell out another, let's say 300 tickets in a flash!

If the demand is there then Rovers Should be asking oxford for the remaining 800 seats that make up the 3,000 away allocation.

I suspect lots of that apparent 3000 allocation is used for segregation.

[chippenhamgas]

Oxford sending another 300.

[meader]

Chippenhammgas, just received tweet about the 300

[Dirt Dogg]

Another 300 then, think we'll sell that out in no time!

I'm planning on getting tickets in the morning, hope there's some left! With the lack of pub options near the ground I wonder if it's worth getting an earlier train, having a couple pints in town and then getting a bus/taxi to the ground? Anyone know a decent pub in Oxford city centre?

ring the club office and reserve your ticket if there are only 60 left as per above text they wont be available in the morning

How strange - i put a seperate thread saying oxford sold out and i see its been removed! Why?

[gheadray]

I did put a reason I merged because it was confusing having 2 threads one saying we had sold all tickets and another saying we had been given more tickets
I trust you understand and thanks for your input

[BishopstonBRFC]

Whilst they haven't actually received the tickets yet I just got another 3. Collecting tomorrow.

OXFORD United have called for supporters to turn out in force again on Sunday after reporting sluggish sales for their clash with Bristol Rovers.



More than 10,000 U’s fans packed out the Kassam Stadium to watch the terrific 3-2 win against Swansea City.



But demand for the game against Sky Bet League Two promotion rivals Rovers has been slow, with only just over 500 seats sold on top of season ticket holders.



It comes on the same day as the visitors sold their initial allocation of 2,100, with United making an additional batch of 300 available.



Darryl Eales, the U’s executive chairman, urged the club’s supporters to come out for what is another crucial game.



He said: “The backing was fantastic on Sunday, it was brilliant to see this place full and it quite clearly lifted the players.



“But I have to say I’m really disappointed that only 500 people have bought tickets for the Bristol Rovers game.



“In our eyes this match is even bigger than the Swansea game.



“Our priority this season is to get out of League Two and we desperately need the people of Oxfordshire to get behind us again.”



Michael Appleton, United’s head coach, said: “All the players have commented on how good the atmosphere was against Swansea.



“When we went a goal down you could feel the crowd lift the players to go again.



“The fans were incredible and we’d love this place rocking for all the big games we’ve got coming up.”

I can't find a figure for this season but I believe they had just shy of 3000 season ticket holders last season. Should they release the remaining away capacity we could end up with nearly 50% of the crowd for two consecutive away games. Excellent support from the travelling Rovers fans again.

That would mean Oxford would have to sell around 2,000 in less than a week if they've only sold around 3,500 in total so far? I can't see that happening TBH.
