See this is bollocks. As other people have said plenty have bought tickets way after this time. This on twitter at 11 for 1

If you are in that top points bracket, you should know how our tickets work by now. Not all tickets are released at once. They are regularly unavailable throughout the sale until more are added. I assume this is done on a b-by-block thing, and its to do with steward and staff costs. If the tickets say unavailable keep trying until the club confirms they've sold out
I agree with you and I'm certainly not in the top bracket and wasn't attempting to get tickets myself.
As you say, they sometimes release by block (I know 100% they released all blocks yesterday, confirmed by ticket office, although todays comms from club they held onto 100 accidentally), tickets fall out of baskets, people have just under half an hour to complete transaction, so odd tickets can be got after the majority sold.
If you were wanting 4 Oxford tickets yesterday at 1015am, it was coming up as none available. My mate attempted to get 2 just before 1030am and couldn't get any. He got 1 at around 1040am.
I started the thread as an observation from noise this had on X
If the club sets the top bracket at 1600 then everyone above that should be able to get a ticket if they want one. Games should never sell out without reaching the 2nd bracket.
Why? It doesn't work like that for any other event. There's events where they will quite happily make you pay an additional fee for access to the first bracket of sale but it doesn't guarantee you a ticket.
