System seemed correct to me. 34k tickets (extra 2k came later), and they've sold all but 150 odd according to the seating plan. I'd say that's pretty much spot on.

Because they are not available for sale, if there were loads of them would be gone as they'll seats where people can buy loads together if neededSaddlebrains vindicated!!!!!!!
Told you they wouldn't sell out

My assumption is that the 2K were released for sale as soon as they got them (~weeks ago) and hence what is left on the map is it.
When I checked this morning it was around 250 left... it's now literally 10 seats left. So perhaps that press release has helped, or a bunch have been taken off sale.

How would you have done it differently then? Having 2 per ST holder from the start would have meant some ST holders would have missed out and even more complaints.

As far as I can see, everyone who 'deserves' one has got one, so there can't be too many complaints but to avoid this lingering of tickets, I don't think it would have harmed to have said 'Anyone with 1400+ points gets a +1'. That's just an example, I dont know what threshold of points it should have been, maybe the highest like 2K points or something. It probably would have allowed bigger groups to be sat together and less jotted around, high points holders are very unlikely to sell on to a United fan etc.

The tweet from the club doesn’t make sense then… if we have sold 34,000 then that ISNT the full allocation so 2000 are still in theory available yet not showing on the seat map
Are these potentially singles that they will drip feed through …can’t see anymore full blocks being opened ? Seem to remember great swathes of seats ( some of them in lower blocks) suddenly turning up close to the Playoff final.

I suspect they will be Club Wembley type seats that havent been taken up.
They wont be.

Then where will they be then? No chance we get full blocks together
Why not? Isn't there a neutral section for re-buys?

Ok, this is the issue
Why on earth have they not put these on sale before now?
As I said people have been whinging about being put off as they can't sit together and they have been sat on these for a week or so.

Nobody who already has a ticket will want these, nowhere near where the first lot of tickets were sold. Bullshit from the amateur marketing team again

I think it’s more teething problems under a new regime coinciding with some of the biggest occasions in the club’s recent history.

So when will they be sending out the emails with the ticket link attached then?

How is it amateur? We've sold our initial allocation with about a week to go. Whats the rush? If they opened up on Wednesday to 2 per ST, they would all go.
They've played it smart, make people to buy up the single tickets. Now when demand is at the lowest, tickets together are more likely to be sold than singles over half the stadium.
Plus it's also forced people to start using their own accounts, which means they can track us better. They would prefer to have 34000 accounts buying tickets than just giving ST holders a free reign.

544 opened up now too -
Spot on, again people don't seem to get we are being run properly now. The rich data 34k accounts gives is amazing and such a strong foundation for future targeting and getting hooked.
The club have approached the sale very well imo.

3 days for STHs
3 days for 50+ points
3 days for previous points
That would have been long enough for each window then they could have reassessed with this final 2k a fortnight ago

Still 2000 tickets with less than a week to go , the time for each window slightly too long and a pointless exercise.
Should push them onto ST again

Sure but we still need to sell the tickets left .now that all the fans have had ample time to snap up
