    Just out of interest like?

    I took four season tickets but only bought six tickets...two went begging. I was going to get my mate and his uncle one each but they wanted three and now I fear theyve all missed out.

    Im not rubbing it in about having a ticket but I cant actually remember anything being posted on here about posters helping each other out with the spares and suchlike.

    Also, last week we roughly worked out a worse case scenario for the general sale numbers. We reckoned between 1500 and 2500 and said that figure could be higher because like me not all people have taken full advantage of the spares and some centenary members would also be ST holders. This begs the question - How many tickets have not been taken by Barnsley fans? and I dont mean Chelsea tickets.

    Me & my mate used both of ours. His young son wanted to come but, as he couldn't get a ticket near where we sit, he had to get another so a trusted adult could look after him.

    No idea but it would be nice of the club to publish a breakdown of sales for this game.

    how many season ticket holders do we actually have? 6,500? if 3/4's of them took up the 2 for 1 option then that is another 4875 or 11375, call it 11,500 so far + the 1,500 for centenery tickets so 13,000. 6,000 for chelsea so 19,000.

    23,000 seater stadium - 19,000 = 1,400 general sale

    We used ours up

    2 ST's and 2 spares given to fans without ST's who attend when they can had to disappoint some others who attend fairly regularly though - who didn't get any today either, (as well as some glory hunters who support other teams really but asked )

    Someone at the Supporters Trust meeting on Wednesday night should ask Simon Davey how many tickets employees get.

    Took 3 books, bought 4 tickets

    So 2 spare went begging. The extra went to a regular attending mate who doesn't have a ST.

    I was thinking of offering my 2 spares on the day (first Saturday) but wasn't sure until I went that I'd get served, so didn't want to risk letting someone down if I promised them the tickets.

    3 books, 6 tickets, 2 glory hunters but all season ticket holders had there chance to get a ticket if they wanted it so it was no problem allowing glory hunters to go.

    PS- People with executive boxes got loads of spare tickets for outside the box. My uncle got 6 from someone he knew and I would have thought he'd got more.
