There are quite a lot of families who’ve been denied getting season cards together. Interest may have fallen with a mediocre season but there will still probably be thousands of Blues who would take up affordable season cards in the expanded North Stand, if they were available.It makes me wonder who is going to fill those extra seats when the new stand opens. Where are those fans coming from? Admittedly I’ve not read anything on pricing for said stand, but I’d imagine they are the same as current prices?

There are over 100 seats in that block alone. I'm not having anyone tell me that isn't a block the club have given to a re seller and then it hasn't sold. The evidence is right there for anyone to see. Or maybe some people just like being contrary.
The overwhelming majority of posters see these empties as agency / tout returns.View attachment 153806

We apparently have agreements with multiple ticket agencies as well as Viagogo. There is is no way these agencies will not be getting blocks of tickets as part of the deal. The club has to be totally transparent about how these arrangements work. I don't have a problem with the club trying to maximise corporate revenues but it can't be done at the expense of our hard core local support who are not as wealthy. It is a disgrace that the PL board is fixated on stopping inward investment into clubs but does nothing about this sort of authorised touting. The sooner we have independent regulation the better.View attachment 153806

Great post, in the dark days the only thing that kept me going was our support, the owners we have now are destroying our traditional fan base.The biggest issue for me is the club not releasing more season tickets, the gold and platinum season tickets was a joke.
However our club has been built on loyalty from the 70’s through to present day, the junior blues gave us younger fans in the 70’s that sense of loyalty to our club.
It was hard enough being a blue through united’s succesfull years. But that sense of loyalty has always been there amongst us all, cos of our love for the club.
My personal preference is I want to sit with my 3 younger sons and 3 grandsons in the new stand, we have at present got 2 season tickets . I want to sit with them until the day I die, the club don’t get it. The match day experience is different for season ticket holders compared to so called day trippers or tourists, if we miss out this time around then there’s little chance of enjoying our time watching city together in the future. There’s very little chance we’re gonna buy tickets at the present match day prices.
There should be anther 4,000 season tickets released when the new stand opens.
So different from the 90’s when the club offered season ticket holders discount for buying multiple seasons ahead because we were skint.

As a spotty kid I was proud as punch to be a Junior Blue, my old man couldn't wait to enrol me. However, having just missed the Mercer/Allison glory days, apart from the odd cup run we were shit until well into my 40's....and I've never forgiven him for that :)The biggest issue for me is the club not releasing more season tickets, the gold and platinum season tickets was a joke.

has last nights result had any effect on sales ?Wembley tickets will go off sale at 10am on Friday morning
Well 27k it is then, three quarters of our allocation.Wembley tickets will go off sale at 10am on Friday morning
Needs to happen again then. A few more such incidents coupled with a large scale disturbance in a stand that gets too nasty for the stewards to fancy getting involved is exactly what we need to force the club to review their disgusting ticketing strategyBattering neutrals has certainly impacted on the touts ability to shift agency tickets.

327 definitely has a lot of club offsite hospitality, 328 could be similar.View attachment 153806

I’d sooner have a situation where blues are attacking gobby neutrals to deter the club from selling tickets to the highest bidder than one where large pockets of rags or dippers or, next season God forbid, Leeds are attacking blues in our own ground because it’ll come to that given the wrong set of circumstancesNot really.
We can have a hostile atmosphere without cowardly attacks on neutrals.
The people who are attacking neutrals would be running away if it was a Utd or Leeds firm.I’d sooner have a situation where blues are attacking gobby neutrals to deter the club from selling tickets to the highest bidder than one where large pockets of rags or dippers or, next season God forbid, Leeds are attacking blues in our own ground because it’ll come to that given the wrong set of circumstances
The club have fucked that up.The people who are attacking neutrals would be running away if it was a Utd or Leeds firm.
What we need to do is grow our fan base with diehard Blues.
