    No new blocks opened up on the middle row, despite there being only single seats left in the ones that did go on sale. Similarly for the Cat 1/2 seat sections.

    Some ST holders have clearly been holding out to wait for them, but what the hell does it take for someone to put them on sale?

    At this rate, the next movement will be when the general sale period kicks in.

    It's all very bizarre.

    That's what I'm expecting now. For them to be opened up tomorrow, with GS release. Which is absolutely ridiculous. But hey.

    Strange approach from Ticketmaster.

    Honestly think we'd have sold 16-18,000 today with more blocks open.

    SAG & SYP probably. Always the very best advice.

    I tend to agree. There's been no noticeable movement since mid-afternoon, as there's not much choice available currently.

    Given that it's now potentially becoming relevant, do we know if the Season Ticket allocations will still be usable after 9am tomorrow? We're in an exclusive purchasing window at the moment, but are we still able to purchase 6 tickets when general sale opens, or does everyone then become subject to the 2 max rule?

    If the former, then there's still potential for us to assist others in the general sale window, but the guidance seems ambiguous on this, at best.

    Season ticket holders can buy six all week. Was an exclusive 24 hour window to not be able to get tickets for the block or category you wanted.

    Won't let you buy a single seat when there are only two seats together on a row

    Hate it when they do that. Discrimination against singletons!

    Availability currently is horrific.
    Some fringe seats. Yet a huge number of blocks to go at

    Ticketmaster claim to have a 24hr helpline, is it a human or an autobot? Maybe someone could give them/it a nudge?

    I can’t fathom the logic. Selling people seats they don’t want and then forcing people to end paying more than they wanted to just cos they will be the only seats left at the end. Bit of a farce really.
