    There's a certain irony to this whole situation.

    A group of Yorkshire folk are getting frustrated that someone in London won't allow them to buy more expensive seats than those currently available.

    London dude is trying to work out the Cockney equivalent of "Arrr Much?"

    They really ought to open up the top tier behind the goal to a least give people a choice of view. There’s no way that those would go toWednesday fans and my guess is folks are now waiting for the behind the goal seats to be released. If they opened up one or two of those blocks plus a level 2 there will be a surge of bookings.

    still too early to start panicking, but my absolute worst fear is that they don't release the remaining L2 blocks, and either leave them empty or reallocate to Wednesday. people hanging on for those L2 seats left with the scraps

    The ones that are left to last are presumably the ones nearest to the Wednesday fans?

    The blocks behind the goal haven’t opened yet ( top deck). All the lower level ones seem to have gone. Not sure about level 2

    Like you I was wanting tier 2 for our group but bought "upper" tier 1 because t2 uunavailable It is ridiculous that the t2 seats haven't yet been released. it would move from ridiculous to negligent if they allocate any of those seats to Wednesday fans. Surely to god not!!

    The speed at which they disappeared should surely be a sign that they should just open up 227-231, given that this would open up all the top 3 price categories.

    So annoyed. Just had to nip out for work, come home & nearly every ticket in block 232 has gone. It’s disgusting that season ticket holders couldn’t get them before they went on general sale.

    No prizes for being the early bird. The blocks I wanted weren't available at 9:05 so I got tickets behind the goal which I never prefer.

    Lo and behold, they open the blocks at the side of the pitch, same category at 9:20 with stacks available but now I've bought mine.

    Gonna see if Ticketmaster will swap for me. Currently being tortured by Ed Sheeran on hold.

    Whats happening with 242 onwards? if the block is solid white does that mean they haven't been released? It's been an absolute farce.

    Let us know if they do because I might fancy a swap but debating with myself as to whether it's worth the hassle of trying.

    Quite a few of those blocks are Club Wembley / EFL allocations, so won't be going up for sale. Nothing beyond 247 will become available.

    They could have sold another 5-10k by now if the blocks that people are waiting for had been released.
