Looks like it's updated now, wonder if that'll be all? Or if there's another wave of releases

I think they are mostly all on sale now, however perhaps at other games this season they have released more in the south stand circled red below which i think are only released after the ones for sale next to them are sold.

I also think in that corner of the north stand they may do a couple more rows when the ones at the back go.

i've had to look at this map a few times this season when moving the season tickets to take the extended family but don't really know definitively

Not sure VAT is worked out on CCFCs twitter announcements.

The point is there would be no benefit to the club to falsely inflate attendances, other than to raise the suspicions of the clubs auditors and HMRC

HMRC aren’t sat refreshing clubs Twitter to reconcile VAT returns. VAT is based on actual revenue in the books, not whether the club says “sold out” in a press release. And “sold out” doesn’t mean every physical seat in the stadium anyway, it means all tickets made available are now not available (which can exclude blocks, segregation, comps, etc.)

Also no benefit? Clubs absolutely have an incentive to lean into that wording too. optics matter for fan buzz, sponsorship etc. It’s marketing, not a tax declaration.

I reckon there would be some mad amount of arrests made if HMRC started auditing twitter hype.

Ive been given away tickets twice this season after they've "sold out" from someone at the club because players and staff didn't use their allocation.
