I had a similar problem getting extra tickets, thankfully I got a couple of references off here. It seems like a lot of hassle to get tickets for a slow selling pre-season friendly!

Maybe it'll be pay on the day?

Not as slow selling as the website suggests. We have apparently sold 3,000, with 500 left. Pay on the Day possibility as we can have the whole end if demand is there. As I said elsewhere though, this is just what I have heard.

That's excellent if true, but the website were pretty quick at updating the ticket situation for the Burton game? Ah well, I'm looking forward to it regardless!

I thought so too, but the reports I've heard suggest that's the case. Have seen various peoples tickets spreading across Blocks X1, Y1 and Z1 too, which covers a fair amount of the end. I'd expect there to be some on the day.

It most probably will be.

I quite fancied taking the family to the Forest game. It would have been only my second game since giving up my season ticket a year before O'Neill did a runner.

Just called the ticket office to buy 4 tickets. I can only have one ticket per client reference number because the tickets are not on general sale. Assuming my own and my son's reference numbers are still good, I asked how I could get the other two in the family a reference number. I was told 'only by buying a ticket' - presumably not for this game.

All I wanted to do was to go watch a pre-season friendly. Fuck that. 

PM me and I'll let you have my ST details if it helps.

That's very good of you Legion. Thanks, I appreciate the offer.

We've made other arrangements for Saturday, but thanks anyway.

By "sold out" do they mean the initial allocation? I find it hard to believe we've taken the full 5k. Would be great if we have mind!

Going by pictures I've seen on Twitter and Facebook of peoples tickets, we have come very very close to filling the whole lower... I have seen seats in Z1, Y1, X1 and W2. Doubt it will be the full 5k, but we've taken a lot.

We took well over 4K for a friendly at Derby last season, and that was a night game with TSM in charge.
