I've got a couple of spare tickets at £20 in the Doug Ellis Upper. PM me if interested.

Weird booking arrangements.

I tried to buy my ST seat online (Upper Trinity). It said "tickets reserved for you" but then would not allow me to add them to my basket.

So I called the ticket office this morning, and apparently, ST seats for those in the cup scheme are being released to their usual owners as normal, but ST seats who are not in the cup scheme are not being released.

So basically, if you have a ST in the Upper Trinity but are NOT in the cup scheme, they're not letting you - or anyone else - buy your seat for this match.

So I've had to buy a tickets a few rows down, and the bloke said I can then relocate myself to my usual seat.

No big deal here, but I don't understand why they'd do this? How many people would be put off by this strange arrangement, I wonder?

That all sounds very strange.  Not sure what the reasoning behind that could be.

I don't think its true either.  I've purchased my tickets online for my normal seats, booking went through fine and have already received the tickets.

 I have got a spare U-21 ticket for Middle Trinity, 2nd row. It is towards the Holte End and is a good view. The ticket face value is £18 but I will let it go for £10 to be picked up tomorrow at the ground. First to PM can have it.

Just shows why the crowds are so low. Still have the ticket. Football is dying.

We actually tried to give the ticket away tonight and nobody wanted it.  Sad.

If you booked before the cut off date for ST holders to claim their seats, fine, after that, not fine. Around us it was pretty empty. Usually when it is 20 quid anywhere in the ground, it is very busy around us, as the masses come to sample life in the posh seats.

This may only have been the case for the UT, but it is what they told me in the ticket office when I asked them, and they were insistent that it was true, no matter how mental it sounds (and it did sound mental).
