Nothing beats the excitement of wanting to spend £100 on taking your family to see what the fuss is all about with this Coventry team, only for tickets to be arbitrarily unavailable!

Hope so. Nervous few days in and out. Hope we lose no one of importance and add a couple.

The only ones out will be fringe players, it’d be too much too late to sign replacements on top of the 2 already on their way

The ticketing approach is bonkers.
I guess no one was working Sunday and they’re waiting for someone to open the office at 9am before they do anything.
Daft.

At the very least they need to open up another block, games consistently getting to singles only now. 26 is open for STs now isn’t it?

Agree.This leaving opening a new block till only singles are left is mad. If 3 want to go and have no knowing the stupid way the club runs the site will on seeing singles probably think that is all there are, we lose 3 customers.

It's stuff like this that's gonna piss people off. I've got a JSB voucher to use for two adults and two kids for Millwall. Been waiting for 26 or 27 to open for weeks.

Looks like they've opened the bottom half of 25 only so far. (unless they opened the whole block and top half is sold out already).

It really is a ridiculous way of doing it given the demand.

What operational cost savings are there by doing this, though?

It's proper small time thinking - surprised that DK hasn't stopped this happening, as he's been upgrading our approach elsewhere.

Isn’t the logic of not opening blocks to enable people to buy half STs together?

I guess the fewer blocks open the fewer stewards needed? So they'd rather have one empty block than two half full blocks.

Can't be that much of a saving though surely.

But seems pretty pointless anyway given the demand, as all blocks are needed.

That’s what I mean. We’re saving on maybe two stewards’ wages. That’d likely be covered by about 5 adult tickets.

And yet if someone logged on yesterday to buy two or three tickets they'd be forgiven for thinking it had sold out.

I can buy a seat in 26 if I get a half ST but not if I get a match ticket. Make it make sense.

Hoping he starts Simms

Think Torp will drop to the bench with O'Hare back in.

Bidwell back in also for Da Silva.

Baffling levels of bullshit. Why do we even make buying tickets fucking hard work?

Very bizarre ticketing on the website. Not sure if this has just happened but a load of the end of row seats only are available in blocks 14,15,16. Suits me perfectly but strange they are all on sale like that and…..what does ‘ right leg aisle’ mean, I’m not that chubby

Steward numbers probably and the last 3 games have sold out would be the answer to doing it this way
Bonkers mind

They didn't sell the end of row tickets as per SAG advice at the start of the season. I believe it was to help limited the number of people on each row in case they had people who crossed over from other blocks i.e. they still had enough space per row.

As this doesn't happen vas much as they thought they can now if needed sell these tickets and this is what has just happened.

Why don't steward check a few tickets to make sure people haven't crossed over? There quick enough to check in other parts of the ground.Overcrowding is one of the biggest causes of crowd problems and when they start doing this those who should not be there will start returning to their original seats.
I don't want to be a killjoy but standing in areas where seating is provided is a recipe for disaster.How we have managed without having serious injuries when excessive movement takes place(ie goal scored). I don't know.

They do which is why as I said it happens less than thought and they can release these tickets for sale.

Looking like a healthy attendance, they've released all the end of blocks seats in Singers corner again and more blocks in the other corner
