They say CURRENTLY no ticket availability on the OS.  Makes it sound like we are try for some more.

I think that means they may have returns, which is why they set up the waiting list.

It is sold out. Someone said we're asking for more tickets, maybe they'll ask them to reconsider their decision and give us the extra 400 tickets they're leaving empty in our end but i doubt it and Blues have sold all their tickets.
still 3,000 left in their end according to Small Heath alliance
I saw that, they're saying 3000 season ticket holders didn't take up their tickets i think but they put their tickets on general sale straight away so it is sold out. I'd guess a lot of those 3000 season ticket holders were kids who were stopped from going by parents.

I know a few Blose season ticket holders who bought their tickets when they went on general sale and they got a bit twitchy about having to wait.

Even though their seats were secured? What bright sparks.

I know.  Was a daft way to sell tickets though.  Put them on general sale first then sell to season ticket holders.

I think one of the considerations from them was to sell the general allocation tickets before ours had gone on sale to stop Villa fans buying into their end.

That is true. So if anyone finds themself in possession of a spare for the Villa end I'd be delighted to take it off their hands (always assuming Mr Woodhall has first been accomodated).

In the very unlikely event of anyone having a spare and nobody to give it too I will happily take it off your hands.. Looks a pub in Nottingham is going to have the misfortune of having me in it for this.

Have we been given more tickets?

Or are these extra tickets due to people returning them?

Good news. Well done to those in the ticket office who negotiated around the madness.
