I'm in 534. Am I sitting or standing? I was planning to maybe have a bit of a lean midway through the second half, will that be okay?

I reckon we've sold around 23,000.Exactly. It's on the villa website that they will be released block by block so while the numbers left appear to be low, tickets haven't been released for a good chunk of the ground yet. Not sure why they do it like this though and just not open the whole of the allocation to those who can buy seats. I would guess it's because if there's any shortfall in ticket sales better to have a full block and an empty one that two that are half-full. This will help segregation and also mean that if one club sells more than another, extra tickets can be made available for the one who's sold out. No - It's because they are trying to ensure that there is always availability across the spectrum, rather than there being limited options on priced/categories.I'm very supportive of the ticket office but I don't think they've covered themselves in glory this time around. Blocks are popping up all over the place for purchase at random times. It should have been made available across the board on a first come, first serve basis. I can half live with perhaps the last blocks on one side being kept back for segregation but in doing so, you would be holding back prime seats.

I'd hate to have my lack of North Birmingham working class credentials exposed by a grass incursion faux pas.
