    Not sure that makes sense. Those going to the ticket office aren't being given free tickets either.

    Bristol City and QPR maybe? Hull the 1st allocation sold on day 1 and additional allocation sold the following morning iirc. Wimbledon went in one day too. But yes, hasn't been that difficult this season.

    But as has been stated, this is exactly the same as the current experience, everyone stands anyway. Anyone who doesn't want to will be moving their ST anyway, regardless of whether they install safe standing or not. The real issue is the safe standing area is not big enough to accommodate all...

    Yep, and they only charge under 16s a tenner

    SBA is still £20 for most games, although you have to book on early.

    Re buying a half season ticket, it is true that on order to secure a seat it needs to be available for every game until the end of the season. As Swansea and Leicester are basically sold out, it means half STs are basically unavailable at the moment. What the ticket really ought to do is sell...

    It is still a shitty attitude, no matter how you dress it up. My old man, who has all sorts of practical skills I don't, really struggles with it. I have tried to sit with him many times but he cannot grasp it and it is the source of a huge amount of frustration for him. The team I run at work...

    And yet all those youngsters with a sneering sense of superiority because they can use a smartphone (despite having no real idea how it works) would have no clue how to cook a nutritious meal, bleed a radiator, fix a door or change a wheel. Progress. I do wonder what would happen if a solar...

    And what about the freedom to choose? It's not on them at all, it's on everyone else to ensure we can accommodate people who make different choices and have a society that respects how people choose to live their lives. We can't accommodate everyone's wishes, we have to push forward and...

    Didn't strike me as a Thatcherite 😂 The lines get blurred when you're offering a service. Should you cancel a bus service between two villages because it is not profitable? Or does a developed, 1st world nation work to ensure that service is maintained? Even privatised businesses offering...

    I agree with the last paragraph 100%, just some seem to be suggesting we work to close the option off completely. I just hear these arguments all the time when village post offices close, banks close local branches, putting people out of work. Many elderly people find the modern world pretty...

    It'll happen for Wednesday, everyone I know planning their day out for that Tbf, should make a decent racket. I thought Sunderland atmosphere was excellent considering the numbers. Also expect numbers for Boro might grow a bit, a few mates have decided to go to today. Pay on the gate will help...

    That doesn't address the point. I am asking how do you that if they don't have one, and many don't. You could just shut them out and say tough? Every venue, from theatres to arenas to ice rinks etc. have a physical box office. It's good business. If you're in the business of selling tickets you...

    How do you sell a ticket to a 14 year old that has no visa card? How do you distribute away tickets when the postal deadline has gone (not everyone wants to travel and risk collecting from the home ticket office), unless you can solve these problems you will always need manned ticket office...

    Some people just prefer it I guess. Plus kids tickets can't be bought online on their own.I don't think? Will be lots of youngsters going to Oxford game for example. Some will be getting Boro tickets and they have no choice, others maybe just like using cash. I know someone who had a serious...

    Yeah, I guess so, although I recall we took 2K to Tranmere a few years back on NYD, but maybe the next day wasn't a working day, can't remember. Even so, you'd think it'd far more viable for most than say Cardiff on a Tuesday night when we took 1800. Should get back by 8pm from this one. Not...

    On this subject, sales for Boro are really disappointing. I understood Sunderland given the date, but I thought Boro would be healthy enough even if it didn't quite sell. The new players have been a bit spoiled with full away ends but 900 rattling around the away end on Teesside going to be very...

    From my experience, it won't really change anything. The only difference will be a bar we can lean on, and you can easily see over this while seated, especially with the steep incline at the CBS. Don't imagine there will be many who move, but yes, they need to have a plan for those that do. I...

    It seems we have given Leicester more tickets than Wednesday, so it should be occupied for that game.

    Those areas are not closed currently, and it was a complete non incident you refer to, just one Wednesday idiot. Shouldn't change the fact that they are now happy for there to be no closed blocks between home and away fans if demand is there.
