The reaction from fans after it was announced that it was on BT sport on friday night would have suggested limited ticket sales though I would have thought.

Perhaps but were as the Club have said for good PR "We will take the second batch" we all know that Sisu are about £ and if they can get it then they will do what needs to be done.

I just sent you both a PM, I don't know how to go about with regards to payment, but if it can be helpful then I can do it no problem.

Really? I thought everyone was saying what a great opportunity on Live TV in front of a national audience to protest against SISU, banners were being made and things were happening at certain minutes in the game... oh wait, now I understand why they declined them.

Yes and rightly so, cant have a go at them for being incredibly dumb all the time and then when they make a sensible business decision have a go at them.
My issue is they never even tried to see if they could sell them, had they and it was not viable I would have no issue whatsoever.

The thing is testing the water would have never achieved nothing because of putting them on sale to everyone else first, ST Holders, Members, etc which there have been a lack of.

They use the previous credit card information on the system.

Don't need one, but thanks for the offer. Would prefer not to give SISU my money where possible, not that it really makes much difference when it's going to be sold out anyway.

Lol I see what you are saying, but I am not going to jump to conclusions and suggest they sent them back because 5000 protesting looks better on them than 8000+ (obviously it does but to what extent)!
There are issues ,firstly created through TV scheduling ,what was the lag between the draw and the BT selection around 4 days then more lag till going on sale on Monday ,where they could have sold to ST's, members and anyone who had purchased a ticket for Sixfields in parallel with no danger of any in that group being disappointed .
That would have left a further 36 hrs to make a call they made Monday lunchtime,,seems they made the call 48 hrs early and had far to many categories ,In fact by limiting themselves Introduced the need for so many categories.The main culprit has been the televising though.

Appears to be sold out online
Yet more conspiracies
The bottom line is they made a mistake. They had to make a judgement call, but by spreading out the sales categories as they did they did not give themselves enough time to make the correct call.
I understand the decision to an extent. We didn't quite sell the full allocation last season, and that was our first visit to the Emirates, it was £12, and the game wasn't televised. Given that, I can understand why they perhaps thought 5000 would be enough this time around. Unfortunate for those that miss out, but I hope people don't start abusing ticket office staff when the tickets sell out later. People can rightly blame SISU for much, but this was an honest mistake imo.

nothing about sisu is honest, mistakes yes plenty of them.
I guess there must be a huge queue at the ticket office so they only made a few available online. When I looked about an hour ago there were about 600 unsold tickets.

What a joke !
How bad have the club screwed up! Even if they only took half of the extra 3k would of been a bonus !

Exactly, even if it genuinely is nothing more than a mistake it just highlights the appalling way everything about the club is run these days.
Those say SISU would have to pay if they weren't all sold make it sound like they'd be putting their hands in their pockets which is of course nonsense, it would just mean their cut of the gate receipts would be slightly lower.

Red Action Gooners, one of their supporters groups, have been asking their fans to join the protest.

I take it the club will delay saying the tickets have now sold out to try and save a bit of face !

Complete Joke.
I have been to 4 away games this season with my 2 boys. Because i book the tickets and not them i was only allowed to book 2 seats yesterday. What am i supposed to do flip a coin to decide which 1 I take? I even called the ticket office 14 times yesterday before I got through and was told "Sorry but we only have 1 person buying although we can see the your 2 boys had tickets bought for them, because they didn't buy the tickets themselves, they are not eligible to buy a ticket now"
I'm online at 9.30 to see about 10 tickets available none of them together. WTF.
