    Must admit I wanted upper tier low down as far away from Deedars as possible. They’ve opened a section that will be right next to their fans.Again, anti family conscious people who don’t want kids in same situation we faced v Millwall

    Again why the disparity between us and Weds. They sell wherever, we sell in blocks, so Weds get the chance of ours when we dont sell out. We've had a defeatist attitude towards the quantity we'd sell from the moment we qualified. But we won't sell out because of the poor way its been organised/allowed to occur.

    Wednesday fans have some bellends as every club do but their no Millwall. I can't see that happening again.

    Were all Wednesday tickets released together though? Or did the blocks just get released loads quicker because they sold quicker? Genuinely don't know. It does feel like the Club have made a bit of a balls of things though, by only offering 1 category.

    Either way, i want to sit next to our fans, not theirs. First and only upper tier block available is next to them. That’s why i chose elsewhere.

    Is that what’s happened?

    Just seems bizarre that we’ve got loads of fans who at home games sit in the East upper who enjoy a side on view from a decent height every game but we’re only giving fans the option of been behind the goal or at near pitch level.

    They released them in many qualifying blocks, morning and afternoon over 4 days, so 8 different blocks, they announced this before they went on sale. Yes of course they dold them quicker, they're massive, but it was planned that way, they didn't react to fast sales and change things. It was pre planned efficiently and apparently to avoid complete open sale and hence, the 2 ticket rule.
    Pains me to say, they seem to know what they're doing.

    It completely defies logic how they are releasing blocks... Like now there is basically no tickets available in the middle tier yet there are tons of blocks not up for sale. Why are more blocks not open?

    I suspect its a ticketmaster thing, and its not a criticism of the club, but would be genuinely interested to know what involvement they have had in way the tickets are being released.

    So am I right In thinking that when tickets go on general sale tomorrow, if you’re a family of 4 with 2 kids, you can’t purchase 4 tickets together?

    If so that is absolutely ludicrous! Whoever made that rule up needs shooting.

    Just think it would look better on Tv if we sold the 3 tiers from behind the goals outwards. Also keeps those blocks free in the centre to ensure segregation - and if deemed necessary allocate to Wednesday.

    If they are selling them that way for it to be more aesthetically pleasing for the TV audience rather than ensuring the best experience for the fans attending then thats rubbish

    If mum and dad are both on the database and can sit next to each other on seperate devices and by a fluke of nature Sagittarius coincides with Neptune's aurora, they'll be fine.

    Yet the EFL will be making a big deal at some point about “Community Clubs of the. Year”?! Whilst simultaneously preventing entire families / families and friends from sitting together

    Tbf, this isn't the efl's fault, if the club had given this more than a fleeting glance they could have found a way around it, all the other play off finalists have. We've had uproar from the fan base and silence from the club.
    It'll blow over and Khaled will be a top hard working CEO again.
    Well for me it's not good enough.

    I totally get the frustration, and the 2 ticket rule is affecting a lot of people. however it was the club who chose to only have 1 category for ST-holders, then go straight to GS. I think they need to shoulder some of the blame here. I just don't think they've thought it through. they've had all day to try and respond to this glaringly obvious problem in some way, but don't appear to have. it really shouldn't be up to ST-holders on a bulletin board, to try and get people sorted. we will, but we shouldn't need to.

    Championship play off final last ever at Old Wembley. FA Cup semi final first visit to New Wembley. They would always get more fans than another division 3 final or tinpot trophy.

    I think that’s the trick to it that we’ve missed. It’s not truly ‘general sale’ and therefore the max of two tickets needn’t apply.

    had a quick look on owlstalk and found a load of people struggling to buy tickets. In fact for them it’s even worse because every single ticket has to go to someone with a booking history. Loads on there that have just bought kids tickets on their own accounts and so there’s no booking history for the kid. Lots of sharing of IDs over there, even more than on here.
