How did we manage versus Crewe, Gillingham, Chelsea? There must have been something altered in the concourse to allow home fans into the south stand blocks.

I'm sure they have segregation gates in the concourse.

That looks a massive blunder. I and many others were under the impression the stand could not be split, anyway whatsoever. The fact it can be split in this way means we could have still given brum a 10% allocation (more than the 2K they give us) and have more of our own fans. Stupid.

A 28,000 sell out would be shameful and embarrassing for Boddy/SAG/West Midlands police.

4500 empty seats in a purpose built arena ffs!

Ultimately someone who picks and chooses games. Most of the increase on days like these are people who do a few games a year all choosing to do this one. Obviously there’s some buzz that a big crowd crests that picks up a few part timers. I’d say a true glory supporter are those that support a Prem team until we make it to a big cup game or similar then turn up and loudly proclaim that we aren’t Man City.

It's more than 28000 , that would mean we've only sold 1500 more home tickets than Saturday just .. the maximum with current restrictions is 25500 coventry fans, we've sold 29/ 30,000

They may have already sold them to people in the queue. Block 13 i am sure will be sold if it hasn't already.

29k is still around 4000 empty seats.

Don't forget they also have around 200 unsold seats in 14 and 15.

General admission tickets for Coventry City’s game against Birmingham City are currently sold-out.

A total of 28,500 tickets have been sold currently for the game, using all areas that are available to sell currently. This includes 4,500 away allocation, provided to Birmingham City several weeks ago.

The Club is working with Safety authorities and the Arena to maximise any possible other areas for sale for home supporters, bearing in mind areas of segregation required, and will provide updates to supporters as soon as we are able to do so.

According to this it should just reach 30k proving the Hospitality areas sell out

3.5k extra City fans we’ve missed out on because we gave them block 10. Well, 2k and another 1.5 in ridiculous segregation.

so looking across to the East stand on Saturday it is very clear that there is a reasonable number of STHs who dont always attend, there will always be holidays / sickness etc
Is it too late for the club to do a resale of those tickets, to get people in who would otherwise miss out

Give STHs back 1/23 of purchase price and resell at full price is additional revenue for the club

"sold out" at 28k is absolutely scandalous.

Move Birmingham fans across to block 11 and segregate fans in block 12 and 6.

Open up 13, 4 and 5.

That would allow 31000.

Lots of clubs who sell out each week do ST buy back schemes, but too short notice to make this work I think.

Because they are on cards and not tickets, I don't think it will be as difficult as we think.

Cancel the card and resell the ticket online. Offer no refunds to people who cannot make it.

Doesn't make sense to me. Even allowing for the segregated areas, they are saying there will be as many unsold seats in the ground as there will be Birmingham City fans in attendance. That can't be right.
