Why on earth did they not just release the south stand seats in one go

Absolute morons

 

[is BobBob lost]

There are a few available for sale a few seconds ago. dotted around the ground.

Maybe released from baskets not required etc

The "zero left" is based on the Tracker which only updates every 2 hours-ish. Last update was 09:11 when there were none available anywhere.

Random seats appearing in top tier, could be people moving seats down to the newly released south stand seats?

South stand segregation now open, so tickets are still available- but won’t be for long

i dont even understand the one block at time to be honest, too much pissin about IMO

It'll be staffing issues - although it was pretty much inevitable they'd sell out*, it's quite difficult to get all the staff needed for 6000+ people in such a short space of time. Presumably they've sorted all the staff in just 4 working days as of now, which is quite good going. Had they released the tickets and not got the staff in, it will have been a nightmare and likely put many fans off coming back. They've 100% in my mind sold the PC tickets correctly and intelligently.

We definitely wouldn't have sold out had we not won vs WBA, so they couldn't pre-emptively fork out thousands without a guarantee it'd be both needed and necessary.

*After the WBA result.

Available just now about 28 in the south stand and around 15 dotted around.

 

[cooky]

Is it not to create demand so people think there’s not many left?

It’s shit like

That argument would hold a lot more weight if the club even thought about trying to drum up demand Which makes me think it’s incompetence rather than attempted marketing.

@ca8msm Can you add P12 and P13 to the tracker? They have clearly been sold at some point.

@Hmmmmmm returns will do a jig if you do

Championship play off allocation would probably be just enough for all season ticket holders and then few thousand to general sale wouldn’t it?

Depending on who it was against.
Luton , we could possibly try to get near what we were allocated against Wycombe.
Boro / Coventry - Forget it, it would be 50/50 split of about 35/38k each.
