If we'd have had 20k season ticket holders the club would still have let them have 2 tickets each

Man City is the same, touching distance between home and away fans. It was like it at Maine Rd as well.
It's not as if you can say it is WMP either as they don't have such huge segregations at Villa Park, West Brom or Wolves.

It's got to be someone local who is in the Cov WMP or the SAG

They keep appearing and disappearing. Had them in my basket a few times.

Managed to get tickets, but not together. Absolute farce as usual.
Got to the front of the queue - it timed me out.
Somehow refreshed and it put me straight to the log-in page.
Friend logged in - wouldn't load the seat map for him
I Tried to select seats showing as available - wouldn't let me.
Eventually managed to get three in the basket in the same block then during payment it looked for all the world like it'd kicked me out for being a robot, but eventually went through and got confirmation.
Still think ST holders shouldn't have had 1 extra ticket. I'd have thought it totally fair for ST to be allowed to reserve their own ticket and then had a couple of windows that were points based. Just feels fairer to me.

Doesn't really explain why it shows them to you, lets you select them, takes you to the next screen then tells you you can't have them. Or the various people earlier who have reported getting all the way to the checkout and then being denied their purchase or kicked out.
Some serious questions around the service provided by Ticketmaster I think.

It's frustrating, kind of annoying that they didn't do a second round after ST holders, before general sale, for people with a bunch of loyalty points. Can't moan too much it's nice that interest is spiking for once and if it continues I would think the club will get slicker at running things.
Ah yeah that makes sense.

Couple of points, good luck letting in more people than the SAG advice and maintaining valid event insurance. Also the council can ultimately dictate the license for the venue, if the club ignore the advice of the SAG the licensing committee may not look too kindly on it, I doubt Frasers would be happy if the club put the venues license to hold events at risk
Even if you believe the council and / or police can't directly force the club to have empty seats on Sunday they sure as hell can make things very difficult if the club goes against their advice
Lets be honest, the council make it up as they go along, the no parking zone was only supposed to be in place for events above a certain capacity according to their own documentation yet when we were getting below that number it remained in place
That said the club should come out and be very clear about why those blocks aren't being on sale, its ridiculous. Its one thing when there's thousands of empty seats in the ground but that's not the case now and if it is on police / council advice they should be put in a position where they have to justify that position, Gilbert needs to get on the case

The council can’t “dictate” anything. They have to operate within the confines of the law.
The licensing committee would only have grounds to act if the club’s actions directly threatened the safety of fans.

Agree on mistake but for the club, it didn’t over complicate the process, it streamlined it as sales could be made quicker and easier allowing for faster distribution.
It would have been right but more complicated and time consuming to sell them in order of priority points, above 1,000 first, then 900-1000 etc but could have still has flaws in that where someone could not have gone this season to a single game but had a ST at blues and picked up a lot of priority points from having that ST. Should they then be ahead of someone buying this year in their first season?
Reality is that these games can sell twice over for any club with fans who have been before at some stage, no ST holder is buying for a first timer.
It’s a shame but a reality that some will get lucky and sadly others will have to watch in the pub, home or elsewhere.

Btw , we'd struggle to sell out in the Premier league because we got 11000 in 1992
I think in a relegation battle it would taper off

I was there, maybe our best season. Son was born when we were top of the league after 3 games, also the best Christmas games ever thrashing Villa and Liverpool. Mickey Quinn will be a god forever from that seasonBtw , we'd struggle to sell out in the Premier league because we got 11000 in 1992

These were popping up everywhere after 9pm last night. Every time I tried to put one in the basket it wouldn’t let me.

Was your second child born 9 months after we were top of the league after 3 games??

There were a fair few (and there may possibly still be the odd one or 2 in and out of people's baskets) available in the family stand.... but nobody could buy them as you had to buy an adult ticket with a kids, So unless you got 2 in your basket and changed one of them to a child's ticket you couldn't buy them.

Going forward I think the club need to have a Yeovil at home priority period, Anyone with purchase history for the 6-2 home defeat to Yeovil should just be given a free ticket for whatever game whenever they want.

Relax folk's, I'm certain the remaining blocks will go on sale today. Good luck to those ticket less fans, they will sell in minutes.

It didn’t over complicate the process = the club being lazy and having no plan in place
