Here are all the details Bluebirds fans need for buying tickets for the home game against Carlisle United at The Dunes Hotel Stadium in March.

Season Ticket holders will be given the opportunity to purchase extra tickets for our upcoming home game against Carlisle United from 10am on Wednesday.

The Bluebirds play host to their Cumbrian rivals at The Dunes Hotel Stadium on Saturday 19th March (3pm kick-off) and a large crowd is anticipated.

We’re allowing our Season Ticket holders to purchase an extra two tickets each for the League Two fixture from Wednesday 16th February through to the end of Wednesday 23rd February.

After this point, Bluebirds Trust members will then have a period from Thursday 24th February through to the end of Tuesday 1st March when they can purchase two tickets per member.

Subject to availability, general sale of tickets will commence from 10am on Wednesday 2nd March.

Tickets will be available to you during the various windows via our Online Tickets Portal, in-store from The Dunes Hotel Stadium and over the phone on 01229 666 010.

Sensible

yep - by making 2 additional tickets available for each season ticket holder and then 2 per trust member it should stop a lot of the Carlisle fans who would have tried to get tickets for the home end.

They are frothing at the mouth only getting 612 tickets

We can only give them what we currently have room for. If we had room for 1500 away fans, we’d have given them 1500. No one’s fault.

We don't have that many season tickets holders or trust members. There will still be plenty of tickets available when they go on general sale.

How would the club know if a person from Egremont, St. Bees, or even Carlisle for example, was a Carlisle fan when purchasing tickets?
I'm sure there are many Barrow fans that live outside the Furness area and purchase tickets for our home games.

"I'm sure there are many Barrow fans that live outside the Furness area and purchase tickets for our home games".--Of course there are. And plenty of people from the Furness area as well. I would say more from outside of town than Barrovians.

Suppose if they just went straight on general sale and Carlisle fans (especially after todays news) snapped up a load everyone would moan at the club; this way they’ve given most Barrow fans a chance to make sure they get a ticket, most people if they aren’t already a season ticket holder or a trust member will probably know someone who is and could get them a ticket; after that there’s not really a lot they can do about Carlisle fans buying them

season ticket holders = 1400 x 3 = 4200
trust members say 700 x 2 = 1400
add them together that's 5600 - and there are only 5000 or so tickets for home fans arn't there....

IF every season ticket holder bought 2 extra tickets and each trust member bought 2 then there would be no general sale of tickets...

The Trust have just over 1000 members at the moment.

Is there a time when Trust members can get tickets online? I am trying at the moment and can't get past the first page.

yes - but as with the Villa game they can take advantage of both offers if they want.

I'm not a season ticket holder or a trust member - though I have made donations to the trust in the past. I guess I won't be attending this fixture. However, I did manage to get a ticket for the Villa game - so fingers crossed
