Can we just put all the tickets on sale next season. Made sense to open things up a block at a time when the ground was half empty and we got charged for the more blocks we used but now its just weird.

Like they suddenly find a stash of tickets they didn't know they had

It’s been explained that they agree with sag the tickets that can be made available I don’t understand the drip feeding

The Middlesbrough play off home game when the SAG wouldn't let us open block 13 was a joke. Our own supporters being segregated from each other

That was just plain ridiculous.

That was humiliating for the club. The 28k "sell out"

In fairness, they didn't need to announce it as a sell out when its not

When there are no more tickets for sale though it is a sell out

Unfortunately, unless the stadium was to ever be extended (Which we probably won't need in all honesty)

The Pests attendance record will never be topped, it is rugby there is no segregation and therefore no need for any seats to be tarp'd off, every single seat in the stadium will have been available to them where as we will always have to knock a few off for segregation

I have a theory that these are ones they give out to sponsors, and when there’s a sell out they ask for them back

Yep. I'm in Block 36 and the bottom 4 to 5 rows are normally occupied by corporate or players family's hence why some games it's quite empty around there.

Yep, bugs me more than it should too. They used to give so many tickets away it's not really comparable to what we achieve week in week out now. But sadly it will be in the record books with no asterisk

What was their record attendance?

As that should give a good idea of the actual stadium capacity. I know officially it’s meant to be 32.5k, but I reckon it’s a fair few hundred less than that in reality.

There wasn’t 1400 unsold seats on Friday

That photo must show the biggest crowd Wasps ever had. The majority of games were played to a 1/3 rd full arena at best and many of them were free tickets.
Click to expand...
1/3rd? In their dreams. Ignore the nonsense crowds they announced you could see from photos of games that there were 6K max there most matches. Good riddance.

They should allow you to put yourself on a reserve list so you're informed of tickets matching your criteria coming up imo

So probably no more than about 32200 seats then. With segregation we’ll never have more than about 31800

Depends if you’re coming by car or not, but if not, there’s a newish hotel by the station called Hotel Indigo. It’s got a decent bar (bit pricey) and then it’s handy for the hourly train service to Coventry Arena station.

this seems an obvious fix to the empty seats on the balcony. move the cameras there.

And move the press box there, freeing up an area where they could fit 300+ sellable seats.

Can't understand if they have unsold posh seats or balcony ones why they don't offer them free of charge to season ticket holders. They can then sell the season ticket seats at face value and fill the ground.

Try the Wheatshefe pub. I'm sure the locals will make you feel welcome.

Probably best is a city centre Premier Inn or the Telegraph hotel with rooftop bar ?
Plenty of good pubs in the centre including a couple of Wetherspoons, breakfast available at these of course guaranteed, bearing in mind the daft 12.30 kick off. Buses run from CV 1 to the ground or an Uber might be quicker if you’re feeling flush.
Hopefully a nice sunny day and back to the City centre after the match.
