The idea that the club have handled this well is now evaporating
It's farcical , for starters I've ended up in the heavens whilst the club held tickets back for some bizarre reason
They've obviously allocated a set number for players and sponsors etc. which is fair enough.
What they seem to have done though is, say each player could bring 10 family, held back the entire 10 tickets instead of looking at previous visits and working out an estimated total to hold and release the rest to fans.
Also I don't agree with them holding back all category 1 and 2 tickets behind the goal where fans want to sit. They could easily have given sponsors etc. a range of categories and place them in a line upwards around the halfway line, still great seats but gives fans priority on where they want to sit.
In isolation it wouldn't be too bad but when parties are split up and people are on their own it's a bad look.
