i would imagine 13000 sths would not buy more than 20000 tickets - so if capacity of around 29000 with segregation and 1000 for hospitality etc, you have 8k left for general approx
Season ticket holders will definitely get two Wembley tickets
Mr King could look at offering premier club season tickets differently if we get through. He could offer two tickets to each of 18,000 season tickets - would mean all get sold through ST holders only
It's alright, I'm sure Boosh will have his tongue up your arse to make up for it.
Context is, you're obsessed with the bloke but seemingly there's a new contender
Guess there's a lot of phone calls back and forth to try and get people to agree to it being opened.
The barrier is where block 9/10 is but we had Coventry fans in block 9 for the game against Gillingham.
We've sold tickets to Boro in Block 9. No idea why!
Coventry fans were in Block 9 for this
It’s the clubs decision with all the associated risk of course but it’s not a legal thing
That makes sense to be fair - a negotiating position
As long as it's, matched allocations, it's not too bad.
TBF They could’ve opened 13 for Blues game and chose not to, strangely justifying it with ‘4 and 5 holds more and we’ve opened that instead’.
I think with demand so unprecedented for this game, there will end up being a small line of segregation between the fans both sides.
If Doug’s worried about losing money with a few people on the kids ticket fiddle, he’s surely to god not gonna be happy with seats left netted off which could’ve sold for tens of thousands of pounds.
Have faith and give them a chance.
I was told there are issues in the concourse which restricts opening blocks 10/11 & 12 to home fans don’t know how true that is but if it is it’s something that needs looking at for the future the gap is ridiculous.
Have heard the same. Don't know exact details. Segregating the seats not the issue but segregation on the concourse is problem and exits from the ground. I assume there will be H&S regs re how many exits per number of fans. Might be able to resolve but not this season. Who knows?
At the meeting Doug and us were told by the club that the away end was 6000 because of the way the ground has been set up. This has been proved to have been incorrect
If we have them 6000 and we had 6000 up there that would be great
I’m sure there’s one just passed the steps on the bend, wouldn’t be a massive jobs to move it doing behind block 10 but I suppose toilets etc come into it, as said needs looking at, there’s not large gaps between rival fans at premier grounds.
Surely it can’t be that hard to put a temporary barrier up in the concourse between 9-10 ? 4 rows of seats netted off with stewards down one side . This makes my piss boil , we should be behind both goals FFS
Im sure any decent fabricator could build a barrier for a one off if it’s policed correctly too.
the cost would be small compared to the money the extra blocks would generate.

The Ticketmaster back end system is not the most user friendly system in the world to be fair.
Having said that the vast majority of the issues we have are caused by the clubs choices over ticket distribution and / or the lack of clear instruction for people who aren’t good with tech.
when I have to reserve tickets with my membership at Edgbaston I get an email with step by step instructions. It’s not hard to preempt the majority of issues
