REVENUE records are tumbling at the Swindon Town ticket office with staff battling to control an outbreak of Plymouth pandemonium and Bristol bedlam.

All 1,708 tickets for the match at Home Park will have gone by close of business today and the club has smashed two records in just four days.

Last Friday saw the ticket office generate the highest ever amount in a single day during the 18 months that Stuart Pike has been in charge of the operation.

Record sales for a Monday were also achieved this week.

Although the club were not prepared to reveal the respective amounts taken, Stuart admits he has never seen anything like it.

The club's ticket office manager said: "It's certainly a case of two records having been broken in a very short space of time.

"There hasn't been a period like it since I joined the club.

"The phones are so frantic that I think they're on Prozac. We are in the process of trying to get a new phone line put in to help cope with the demand. I've also got a pile of requests via the fax machine.

"A member of staff who usually only works on match days is coming in to do extra shifts. Supporters have been pretty patient with us for the most part and that's obviously helped."

Plymouth is likely to be the first major away-day sell out since last season's FA Cup clash at Oxford United but the Easter Saturday match with Bristol City has also sparked a ticket office siege.

He said: "We sold more than 500 tickets for the Bristol City match after the Brentford game and I am expecting the Town End to be a sell-out by the end of this week or the start of the next.

"Tickets are also selling fast for other areas of the ground.

"It's too early to say but we could be looking at a 14,000 gate."

The club's final countdown promotion which offered supporters to buy a mini-season ticket for the club's final six home games has also been a success.

Stuart said: "We have sold 368 of those packages which takes the total number of season ticket-holders above the 2,500 mark.

"People have compared the situation to the Oxford match last season but that was a one-off. The great thing is that people are coming in and ringing up for Grimsby and Barnsley tickets as well as buying ones for Plymouth and Bristol City. It's good news for the club."
