Title: Leicester City FC - Tickets
Post by: rdfcpete on September 13, 2011, 10:53:22 pm
I was/(am) a big Rushden & Diamonds fan and some of you will be aware of the awful plight of my club in the last few months which has been a football-emotion rollercoaster in all fairness.

As a result Rushden cease to exist and we've got a phoenix club that's starting from the ground up again and currently they compete at U18 level on Thursday nights.
That leaves me free to go to a few other local clubs on Saturdays and I was looking at the Leicester v Brighton match this Saturday (17/09) to go and watch.

Can I turn up and pay at the gate at the Walkers or are league games like this one traditionally 'all ticket'? Even if they are, will there be a general sale on match day where I can buy tickets on the day but before kick off?

I know there's particularly a few Forest and Derby fans around the forum so appreciate any pointers around Championship club tickets. I plan to visit the City Ground too this season - It's simply been a while since I've turned up to see a football league game  :laugh:  :sad1:  :stupid:

Thanks.

Should be okay just turning up, unless its a top game or derby, and even then i cant really see it being sold out in championship so should be okay getting ticket at the ground.

Im a birmingham city fan and although i get tickets beforehand to save queueing im pretty sure there;s always tickets available at the door so to speak.  :happy2:

Ta fella.

Would I need to get them at the ticket office pre-kick-off then hit the turnstiles?
I presume I can't literally 'pay at the turnstile' at that level?

I'm used to the conference remember  :wink:

Yeah should be a ticket office located somewhere at the ground, sometimes inside the club shop. But yeah will have to get ticket then go turnstiles.

As others have said, you should be fine just turning up on the day and going box office. Leicester certainly dont sell out their ground.

Im also a Birmingham City fan, you can just rock up on the day and buy a ticket from the ticket office.

OR

Buy online.


You can also nip to the stadium and club shop etc.

Just have a look on their website.

Cheers Alan & Dave.

Looks like I'm holding out for Posh v Donny Rovers now in early October for my next 'bigger' game.  :signLOL: @ the hate for Brighton.

Could you do that for your time in the Premiership too Dave, or is that a different story?
I understand 'general sale' rules are slightly different there...

Very cool.

I always thought even the non top 4 Prem clubs ran a closed shop and ticket community members only could buy tickets late on match day?
If there's still a true 'general sale' on then that opens my options for watching different club games each week  :happy2:
