Just catching up on this. Are those highlighted blue, supposedly available to purchase? Because if so, my 2 are showing up in blue, and I bought them on Monday?!

I've got an email confirmation, and it's showing as "purchased" in my SAFC account when I log in. Can't really do much more than that! If I end up with a stranger on my knee, well that's just bad news for them.That does not surprise me in the slightest.
My mate has had his seats sold to someone else twice before, as well as him.
If that's up to date that's a lot more tickets than I thought would be available. Maybe there will be quite a few for "general" sale.
All those seats that will sit empty because the club wanted to cozy up to the saudis and make a couple of quid from the bcb. Can't recall anything pissing me off as much as this for a long time.

Doesn't the sales mechanism have a part to play as well? This is going to read like a list of excuses and it's not meant to - it took Newcastle 2 1/2 days to sell out their ~4200 tickets, probably for similar reasons around their loyalty points programme and clamping down on tickets being passed on.All those seats that will sit empty because the club wanted to cozy up to the saudis and make a couple of quid from the bcb.

If you're then restricting the final phase of sales to those who've purchased three or more tickets directly from the club, in a season where they've introduced ticket forwarding to make it easier to pass season tickets onto other fans, it'd be interesting to know how many fans out there are actually eligible to buy a ticket.
I've seen a few mentions of a potential phase 4, but given how this has played out so far, does anyone expect the club to actually do it?
IMO it'll boil down to whether they think they can keep them out of the hands of Newcastle fans. Whether that's requiring a purchase history (has sort of worked in the past, final game of 2017/18 they blocked some people with NE postcodes even if you'd bought a match ticket that season) or only allowing season card holders to buy extras, I guess we'll see.They are going to have to.
Loads of people want tickets and if they are available after phase 3, why wouldn't the club sell them?
Aye then phase 3 friday you have to have bought 3 home tickets this seasonWas first phase for season ticket holders only, and second phase for N Stand S tickets holders and BCB ticket holders? All of these were only allowed to purchase one ticket only weren't they? (as in, one ticket per season ticket?)
So all fans without access to a season ticket can't have yet purchased?
(If so, then looking at that graphic, the sales/take up of seats is impressive - no?)
Aye then phase 3 friday you have to have bought 3 home tickets this season
Not sure what will happen after that of any are left
Me for one as I buy quite a few for when kids are back up here, if sc holders can get another one that is.Wonder how many people are eligible in phase 3?Seems an odd way to sell them.
Think they'll go to Season Ticket holders allowed to purchase additional tickets in phase 4.
See the back row of ne corner there, nearest to bcb.All those seats that will sit empty because the club wanted to cozy up to the saudis and make a couple of quid from the bcb. Can't recall anything pissing me off as much as this for a long time.
I’m with you on this 33k sc holders plus maybe 2 k part season cards we have 41 k seats available so 6 k left Sc holders like myself dispersed to other parts of the lower bowl and central PC the big corner is usually left empty and the north west end of the Pc usually doesn’t sell.Are you doing a counter/tracker Hettonlass?
I reckon it looks about right for what I was thinking they'd have sold tbh. Unless I'm mistaken, given the two phases and they way the club are selling them (singles only), even if every single season ticket holder had reserved their seat, there'd stil be a few thousand available on the graphic going into tomorrow's phase 3? Then you add on 3k or so for the S Ticket holders who didn't reserve their seat and we are where we are.
Theres an average of 3-4,000 people buying tickets match by match who will be in phase 3.Wonder how many people are eligible in phase 3?Seems an odd way to sell them.
Think they'll go to Season Ticket holders allowed to purchase additional tickets in phase 4.
I reckon so, but think we've probably only got 38k available for home fans in total with 6k of that lot and 2k unavailable for segregation?I’m with you on this 33k sc holders plus maybe 2 k part season cards we have 41 k seats available so 6 k left.
