It's totally bonkers. These should have been in the first tranche for the most loyal supporters. Doesn't show the Club in the best light!

Isn't there always a batch of prime tickets for big games that pops up near the end of sale. I got a ticket for the last game at Highfield Rd that way. Wasn't a STH that year, they'd sold out and I went into the ticket office on the off chance. The woman serving said they had literally just had some tickets set aside for the players' families come in and I got two. It probably always happens - it's whether you're prepared to take a risk on it I guess.

They’ve clearly just reserved a few areas for friends/family/club staff etc and are releasing the remainder.

Maybe a new sales phase. Just give people 2 per ticket and have it done with.

These just aren't selling at 1300 pts are they!!

Well, I've had mine and why would I want another for a friend/relative who wouldn't be sitting anywhere near me? I guess just being bought by 1300 plusers for their mates who don't care if they are on their own.

Why were friends and family allocated those seats behind the goal in the first place?

Looking for a single ticket - anyone know anyone looking to sell one? I have two so far for my daughter and myself but want one for the old man....

Them areas will be very strange, full of people sat on their own that barely ever watch us. A bit of a joyless way to sell tickets, my group is now completely split around the stadium, and they didnt even sell out. All so that people who barely go anyway can't moan at them on twitter that they couldn't get a ticket. Woulda been better waiting until today but who knew this would happen!

 

[McLovin87]

Looks like those remaining tickets have been pulled now, maybe there just going to open them up to everyone!

 

[fernandopartridge]

The initial stages of the sales the club got right but the insistence on going down the points route for the second round is nonsensical

Just spoke to the ticket office, they didn't even know they've been taken off and now raising it to get them added back....

I was going to buy an additional one!

Mmm, sounds like Ticketmaster continuing to play a blinder here. Fills me with confidence.

Because they wouldn’t want to be stuffed away in a corner up in the gods?

 

[Potbellypig]

Looks like there's going to be a fair few daytrippers disappointed when they get to their seat on the lower tier to find people are stood where they want

Oh god not this shit again.

No-one does, but someone has to!

I find it odd that we allocated so many prime seats to people who ended up not even wanting to go

Certainly happens at every gig. Blocks are kept back for guest list, press etc and released a few days before the show. Not uncommon you can buy a ticket on the day for a show that sold out in minutes.

 

[Balli001]

Seems the consensus on twitter is it is sponsors etc giving back tickets.

It’s fair enough imo. Players might want their families somewhere they can see them and they’re not exactly going to want them in the cheap seats are they.

 

[TJCCFC17]

Back on sale. Still just to ST holders with 1300+ points.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Just tried to buy but none available on the system so not sure if sold out or taken down. Wembley wasn't an option available

Where do they sit at the CBS?

Block 2

 

[SkyBluePower]

So are these tickets in the lower blocks part of the extra 2000 then or additional to that?
I don’t think 2000 tickets seem to have been available since the 34000 sales number was announced.
I get that sponsor tickets were released as this always happens but this extra 2000 allocation does seem a bit confusing.
It’s getting a bit late now- people will have made their mind up about travel, cost , logistics etc so why not open back up to the 50 points or purchase history cluster. 2 per person. Gives it a fighting chance of selling out if people can at least sit together. These are great seats .

Which block?

Block 2

Why not behind the goal where the players can see them?

Don't worry , club know what they're doing

 

[Evo1883]

There's alot of tickets left .. and we are almost at Thursday

Christ you’re putting a lot of energy into being outraged about a relatively small number of seats going to the “wrong” people.

 

[coop]

Back available again now

Only to 1300+ points up up to everyone.

 

[coop]

So club said they sold 35,000 that's only 1k left.

…..have you seen the rest of this thread?!

Makes the £6.25 in booking fees all worth it then.
