That’s a great effort considering the early bird window is still open! Us fans are doing our bit, time for Robin, King and the rest to do their bit!

Next week is the one, hopefully some signings through the door before the Euros start and from there, we’ve got England to keep us ticking over between signing announcements! 👌🏻
I doubt England will keep us interested for very long,

Thought about the South Stand for ST’s and road tested the area for the Ipswich game. Quite enjoyed the position and view but the downside for us is we normally walk down to the CBS from the Ash Green area , meaning its the furthest point in the stadium to get to. We crossed straight through the queuing Ipswich fans who were in good spirits but it might be different playing other teams…..plus it cuts out valuable drinking time, walking all the way round 🤔
Set off earlier then

OK, here's how it looks by "zone":

North 3,468 of 5,271 - 66% season tickets sold or unavailable
East 8,376 of 9,487 - 88% season tickets sold or unavailable
South 1,438 of 2,496 - 58% season tickets sold or unavailable
West 2,152 of 2,220 - 97% season tickets sold or unavailable
Family 3,173 of 3,179 - 100% season tickets sold or unavailable
Premium 3,223 of 3,382 - 95% season tickets sold or unavailable
Corporates 3,275 of 3,530 - 93% season tickets sold or unavailable
Unavailable 1,591 of 1,591 - 100% season tickets sold or unavailable
Away 2,628 of 2,628 - 100% season tickets sold or unavailable
---------------------------------
Total 21,830 of 26,035 - 84% season tickets sold or unavailable

* This total is if you exclude "Corporates" (which is all the dark blue blocks from the map below... is that correct?) as well as the blocks marked as away or unavailable.

It's possible some of those seats in blocks that are supposedly available for sale but are reserved in the system for other reasons, so the number could be inflated.

That smaller total (~22 of 26k) does not include balcony street bar, club coventry, vice president's lounge and legends lounge which shows 3,275 of 3,530 as unavailable. Again, likely some of those are held back for complementary tickets and matchday sales, though.

I've just realised you've counted the empty away end in that sub 22k figure right ?

Play footie with a lad who has just bought 2 x STs for him and his lad for the first time (usually does a now and then pay on the gate). I think the match day experience/atmosphere of bigger crowds has encouraged a lot more to commit to buying, plus they're not worried about having to scramble for tickets for a 'big game', be it at The CBS, or at our second home in London.

Thanks for that , hopefully the figure is in around that ballpark , so there are about 4300 available blue dots and we think potentially 21800 sold ?
Well, depends on whether you include corporates, but that 21,830 of 26,035 comes from excluding all the dark blue blocks on the map as well as the grey (unavailable) and the mustard coloured (visiting supporters) blocks.

If you include those dark blue blocks then it is 25,107 of 29,565 - 85% season tickets sold or unavailable. But I'm sure there are tickets intentionally not on sale in those lounge/corporate areas - more so than probably any other area of the ground, but the same could be true of the regular north/east/south/west stands too, for whatever reason.

All of that said, given last year's amazing sales and the claim of 2.5k new supporters, the total of 21,830 doesn't seem like it's far off from that, does it?

Maybe the club feel like they can wait to announce a season ticket sell out?

Strange they've not updated

Don't think the whole of 27 26 etc is open for sale though, looks like the back of the blocks have been kept back from sale possibly for pay on the gate!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the club are working out what the cap should be, then they’ll announce numbers. If we’re close to it they’ll be hoping to create a bit of panic buying

Would they actually put a cap in place? Was just a marketing thing last year wasn't it, when ticket sales had ground to a halt there was suddenly a cap and only a limited number of tickets left.

If, in theory, we could sell out the ground with season tickets would anyone be against that?

I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to have the whole ground sold out to season ticket holders in England. There also needs to be enough room to move people from the south stand for cup games.

They physically can’t as they have to leave enough room for large FA cup followings.

Also other clubs that regularly sell out have found that support almost becomes a closed shop, where it’s hard to develop the next generation of fans
