13000+ they've been on sale less than 2 hours though.
More likely they are put aside for block booking for schools or sports teams.I’d take that with a pinch of salt. The block I was looking at in the bottom tier of the North Stand, didn’t have a single seat available in about the bottom 20 rows. Then plenty on most rows higher up.
No way they’ve sold all those at the front first. Probably handed over to a third party to sell as part of a package I imagine. Either that or they’re holding them back for some reason.
How many tickets are left after the sale today?
I just went on and my block in SS3 is virtually sold out (79 seats left out of around 600) including where I usually sit. Not sure how that can be as only on sale to ST holders today aren’t they? and one per member. I’m not having it that every ST holder who doesn’t usually go to CL games have all decided to buy one today.
Yes, I'd totally agree with that. I might be wrong about this (maybe one of the very early champions league away games maybe) but I think we will end this season having sold every seat for every game home and away.Times are changing. Last season was quite easy getting tickets but the Haaland factor has made us eminently more popular. Furthermore, last season was the first after Covid and many were still a bit hesitant about returning, coupled with travel difficulties for those travelling from further afield. The increased demand this season is in spite of a challenging economic backdrop.
What I see at matches now is almost like three fanbases - our PL following tends to be our most traditional and longstanding support, whilst our CL following attracts a lot of newer and foreign support. Our domestic cup following is more like our PL following but I see a more women and children at the FA Cup games.
Or for Kyle Walker’s girlfriends :-)More likely they are put aside for block booking for schools or sports teams.
Maybe. Strange that one side would completely sell out blocks but the other only half.Even if they don't attend themselves, I suppose likely many of the 42k season ticket holders will be using their priority entitlement to buy on behalf of someone else?
