I wou;d have thought there were loads of season ticket holders in this bracket. I'd say over half of the regulars around me don't turn up for run of the mill cup games and that would fit with the figure I was given of 17K on the cup scheme.I would've thought so too, it seems strangly large. Maybe seat counting is becoming quite a popular hobby!
Saying that I've just remembered this window includes Matchday Members on the FA Cup Scheme.
Queue is now 5254. Has anyone worked out what kind of queue to sales ratio the alogithm is currently giving? If it's the old 1 in 3 or 4 then there should still be plenty left after this window
No, the numbers have been much more representative this time. For 1pm there were 2,000 in the queue and 1,500 sold. In theory, this means we could be selling out this windowQueue is now 5254.

It's one of the last mysteries of Seat Counting.As a non seat counter of any repute, can you explain to a numbskill how if 5000 are in the queue only 1250 tickets might sell.
Right, I'm going to give it 20 minutes untl the quee has been dealt with and then do a count.No, the numbers have been much more representative this time. For 1pm there were 2,000 in the queue and 1,500 sold. In theory, this means we could be selling out this window
A good idea, on first glance I can say that nowhere near 5,000 sold, probably closer to 1k-2kRight, I'm going to give it 20 minutes untl the quee has been dealt with and then do a count.
Theres 3 windows tomorrow non cup scheme season ticket holders on 12,000 , 5000 and then any points, you think just over 4k will cover all those and then go to members?3412 top
192 middle
642 bottom
So yes, about 1K sold so far this window but some are still queing I think. Probably increases hope significantly for members. I'm revising my prediction and think that some will be left for members tomrrow .
There will be thousands left at 10amThanks for this useful info, Bluemc. I qualify at 10.00a.m. and although it's looking a bit "touch and go", I remain hopeful! Definitely worth £125 (even though it's a rip-off) to watch the Blues secure a Domestic Cup Double.
They all sold in a few minutes at 2pmThink the queue was for Villa tickets
Earlier on today I didn't think they would but as there don't seem to have been masses sold in this window then i think there's a decent chance that some will be left for members, although it might just be the most expensive ones. I'm still expecting FA returns too.Theres 3 windows tomorrow non cup scheme season ticket holders on 12,000 , 5000 and then any points, you think just over 4k will cover all those and then go to members?
Not touch and go. There will be plenty left. There's no new window opening until then and most sales take place in the first hour of the window opening. Get in the queue at 9.45am and you'll have no problem.Thanks for this useful info, Bluemc. I qualify at 10.00a.m. tomorrow and although it's looking a bit "touch and go", I remain hopeful!

Without doubt it will go to members .Earlier on today I didn't think they would but as there don't seem to have been masses sold in this window then i think there's a decent chance that some will be left for members, although it might just be the most expensive ones.
