I don’t think a massive number. Potentially 2k? 95% of 100+ band will be season ticket holders. Once they open the remaining blocks today by tonight you’ll have a good idea. I think 4 k will be for grabs on general sale

I bloody hope so. I'm on 630 points and I'm bricking it about today, I think they'll be gone by 5pm today.

No complaints from me, I've likely been enough over the last few years to hit the 100pts mark easily just a combination of on the gate tickets and friends buying on my behalf/getting away tickets in the home end for all Birmingham matches (where I currently live) , but they have to draw the line somewhere and 100pts is still fairly low. The "account before this date" is a bit meh, at least some purchase history would have been good.
I'm sure eBay will have a few going for £200+

How many blocks are left to open, do we know? Got to a fair few yet. Fag packet maths tell us, there should be approx 8-10k left after ST holders have brought 2 each!

You'll be sorted I bet, just make sure you have a couple of different laptops or phones logged in at different times so you get through the queue. I got in the queue yesterday to test the accuracy of login and I got in about 20mins or so after the initial expected time it told me on the site.

Isn't that exactly what's happening?

The queue will start well before the opening time, the real game is knowing when to join earlier, if it's like the last couple of times you will have 10 mins to purchase, so if you time it just right to enter at the opening time you be good. Logging in too earlier will inevitably result in you getting kicked out before the tickets go on and having to get back in the queue again, which is why people have been timing there loggins on a couple of devices so they join the queue at a different time.
It’s worth going to the site before 3pm to get in the queue. You get that screen telling you how many are in the queue already and the expected time of entry. We were in four queues yesterday, started at slightly different times just in case we got timed out of the earliest one. We didn’t and got our tickets via the first one, pretty much exactly at the predicted time of entry. It’s another reason not to be discouraged at seeing 8,000 or something in the queue ahead of you. We must have been four people in the queue yesterday until we closed three, and I’m sure we weren’t the only ones. It won’t be literally 8,000 people.
Still can’t believe they didn’t release all blocks together or at least released more by now. What’s the point in priority phasing if the priorities can only buy singles in areas they’re forced to ?!
Good luck with getting one later/Monday

I’m assuming they want each block to be full(ish) before opening up further ones? Looks better than a larger number of half full blocks? Although we’d undoubtedly fill our allocation easily, didn’t we take 45k to the Checkatrade Final?

You’ve hit the nail on the head with your final point. We sold 30k last home game, sold out more for checkatrade and L2 final. Ridiculous to hold blocks back. Obviously it’s some standard policy when just a bit of lateral thought by someone senior might have suggested there’s no need. Clowns

Get on the site early, if you get on before the queue. It shouldn't kick you off. I joined the queue about 9.20 yesterday.

I've bought tickets this season online, that I can see in my history, but I can't see that I've got any points.
Can anyone explain how the points thing works? In all honesty I doubt I'd have enough anyway, but I thought I'd have some...

Such a bullshit way of doing it that punishes fans who buy early.

Cheers, yep, it's definitely showing zero, yet it's got my purchase history.
Is it a set number of points per ticket?

New season tickets 500 quid ones. Refresh screen then you can buy a match ticket.

It’s basically 10 points per home and away game. 20 points for cup matches and evening away matches

The whole ticket allocation is so impersonal. I’d rather queue up like years ago…

Im just pissed off that as a ST holder I’ll be up in the gods and some 100pt scrote is going to have their pick We all know it’s going to sell out, why stagger block releases?
