The select ticket page is showing less than 5k seats left, which is a bit odd if the allocation is 36k?

4,538 tickets left so we've sold over 31,000 already to season ticket holders?
I've no chance then and I've been to 18 home games too with my son.

They’re releasing them in blocks.

I think you'll be ok.  But yes, would be better if they added a 10 game category.  I'm also not sure why cup & play off games don't count to be honest.

Which is ridiculous.

Season ticket holders should have the first choice of tickets. They have left only the top tier for sale since before 7pm yesterday.

There is no way our core support should be forced into the roof while there are still tickets to be sold in prime positions.

(I appreciate this could be my away season ticket karma coming home to roost - but it isn’t just affecting me - it’ll actually be affecting a lot of the same supporters who have already been sold short this week by that too!)

This. They always do.

I'm very confident it'll sell out on the 3+ games window.

I complained to the ticket office last year about it’s.

They were very good but ultimately, it’s the firm in Manchester who decides when blocks are released.  The manager of the ticket office told me to keep contacting her as they regularly get returns from corporate clients but after I’d calmed down, I let it go.  I actually had good seats in level 2 but wanted to sit in the £98 areas, which only became available the day after I’d purchased.

It’s been the same for me this season and I was within the first 4000 to buy- still couldn’t get £98 tickets.

Whole blocks are shown as sold. I'm sure these are yet to be released, otherwise there would still be odd seats available in them.

I'd imagine they've done their sums. They only have 4/5 days to shift all the tickets, so can't have too many categories. I suspect most people who have, say, 10+ homes will already be season ticket holders. So not worth devoting a whole window to the few who are not.

I have just managed to speak to the ticket office and I am advised that there are no blocks in the lowers tier being held back for later sale.

They say that the lower tier is sold and the only tickets being ‘held back’ anywhere are for ‘old players and shareholders’

So on this basis I can stop being cross & know I got the best seats I could!

So that must be around 15,000 tickets sold in the lower tier alone then?

Play off home games counted last year have they changed it ?

"Coping" with that one is exactly why I've avoided it since ! :)
