    A mate rang me today and said hed heard only 15% had been sold in two and a half days. If this is true and tickets sell at the same rate all week then every season ticket holder and guest are surely not going to be catered for by next Saturday. Also, how are non season ticket holders going to buy tickets for the Wednesday match next week without hampering the sales?

    If this is true, at the rate they are selling tickets only 45% will be sold by next weekend.

    Your Mate is wrong then

    We sold 2200 on day 1
    http://www.barnsleyfc.org.uk/bbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=98445&mid=634821#M634821

    As we had 17000 tickets in total to sell and approx 14000 to ST holders and centenary members thats either 13% of the total availlable or 16% of Tickets to ST holders on the FIRST day

    I havent heard how things went over the next day and a half (been away) but I'd be surprised if we didnt sell a similar number on day 2 and - no idea how we would have done on Sat but I'd guess between 35% and 40% of tickets availlable for ST holders have been collected already

    Happy to be corrected by anyone with more up to date information

    No, 150 transactions

    Many people buying with multiples of ST's.

    Probably sold more like 1000 or more

    Thats whats slowing things up and causing the queues

    People are trying to pick the prime non season ticket seats for their mates. Others just dont understand that theres no other reason to rush down there at all.

    RE: No, 150 transactions

    Doubt if it was as many as a thousand - more like 4 or 5 hundred. Majority of people around me had no more than 2 or 3 books each.</p>

    And the queue was moving at the rate the Club had predicted, with each terminal processing about 1 transaction every 3 1/2 minutes.</p>

    Why only 3 terminals, and why only 3 hours open - oh **** it let's not go there again!</p>

    Here goes - Move over Alistair Darling

    50 transactions per hour.

    19 hours of sales so far.

    That's 950 transactions.

    Who knows how many match tickets sold per transaction on average.

    Then there's the added complication of 1250 Centenary members also queuing.

    So the answer is 950 x [Average no of match tickets bought per transaction]

    Do you think 6 match tickets per transaction would be a fair average?

    If so around 5,700 have been sold so far (or 33.5% of the home allocation)

    seems like a fair assessment, I'd have said 5k

    I.e. most of the ST/centenary allocations taken up by weds/thurs
