    17 mins on hold to be told I'd have to ring the club Box Office.

    Don't know if I want to bother them when they're probably inundated.

    That means no then, because the club aren't involved in the ticket sales in any way. You have just been "shown the hand".

    If it’s all about aesthetics makes no sense opening the top tier before the rest of the middle tier

    I'd love to know the logic, cos it's not like they can give them Weds. We could chuck stuff on them and they could chuck stuff on us, so it surely wouldn't happen.

    Just to put this farce into some context, as it stands currently, if you set your filter to 2 tickets and only show seats together, the current options available are 139-140 (but this is the Family Area so the two would have to be 1 Adult + 1 Child), or blocks 501-549 on the top tier.

    Literally nothing else, unless you're buying single tickets.

    I've always wondered why these sites allow you to buy tickets with a one seat gap next to other folks, it always causes issues. Whats wrong wi people, its a football match, Just get cwtched up n cosy.

    They've always done it like this for our Wembley visits. Against Millwall they then opened the opposite side rather than behind the goals.would make sense to open up round to the scoreboard

    I've never known it done like this where you couldn't choose from all the available price categories, when blocks of seats are still available to be opened.

    If they do that this time it would well and truly end any Wednesday hopes of getting spare tickets

    So how can you tell which blocks haven't been released yet & which ones are sold out?

    You can't click on the ones not yet released. Most of the blocks on sale still have the odd single seat left, so can be clicked on the map.

    (That, plus 24 hours experience of watching the same map do not very much in terms of changing).

    Sorry If I'm being thick here, but does that mean blocks 233-236 haven't been released yet?

    Those blocks on the top tier are huge, they are twice the size of the ones on the top tier behind the goal, once those big ones fill I imagine ones behind the goal will start to open quite quickly.

    15k in just over 24 hours is insane

    This has got to be my worst ticket buying experience ever and I've still got a Colchester stub.

    I think those ones are genuinely sold out, including the single seats, as they were available yesterday.

    Still waiting for 227-231 to be released, and 242-247.

    getting seriously stressed now. back to back meetings all afternoon, and I'm not going to be able to check back in until about 5 o clock. if those L2 tickets have been and gone during that window, I'll be raging

    There’ll be a big pay day weekend push on tickets. It’ll be reasonably slow until then imho
