    Don’t recall general sale only being able to buy two together though….

    Most wait until the better blocks open up where they want to sit

    could be a bit of a dilemma though, if they won't release more blocks until more tickets have sold, and they can't shift volume in GS either, because of the stupid 2 ticket rule. I'm waiting on 227-231 to open, but starting to get a bit anxious now tbh. fingers crossed.

    Back when visiting Wembley felt newer and people had more disposable cash.

    Think we have f’cked this up big time.
    It’s all right hanging it on the EFL but where are the efforts to make this easier for our fans who are in families? I’m seeing nothing. Tomorrow is too late. People will have missed out on transport - fans who would potentially make a life long commitment to the club. And the only thing we have by way of reason has come from Loko whose job it isn’t. Are we trying to help families or just saying “that’s the way it is” we’ll just sell 15k with loads of Barnsley families at home who would have come, but couldn’t get tickets together.

    Barnsley v Oxford was low risk so no limit.
    The 2 tickets at open sale thing is for high risk only, which Barnsley v Weds is due to the risk of the apocalypse.

    Millwall came into that category too I’d have thought?

    We haven’t bought ours yet because the ones we want haven’t been released. I can’t fathom the idea behind it. Why are they not releasing all the tickets for sale at once? It’s like season ticket holders are been encouraged to buy seats with a poor view (in comparison) behind the goal & then casual fans can get the seats with a better view when they’re released later. Can anyone make sense of it?

    Yeah but there is no rationale between allowing ST holders 6 tickets ( they could quite easily sell on to deedars) and restricting general sale - when there is still a requirement for purchase history. All it is doing is halting legitimate groups and families.

    If we have circa 8k season ticket holders and they can order upto 6, that would suggest either they are buying a lot less than 6 each or quite a few have not bought yet.

    I'd imagine a lot are waiting for better seats to become available

    I think there’s loads like myself waiting. Big group of us 30+ people are wanting a more side on view in the middle tier but they aren’t on sale yet.

    6 per ST is a BFC decision, once it becomes open sale the 2 per per person rule is an efl directive apparently.
    It's too easy just to blame the efl though.
    The trick seems to be avoid completely open sale, which Weds have done.
    Looking at owlstalk, despite the fact they obvs have much more demand for tickets, there doesn't seem to be the carnage that we are experiencing.
    Perhaps the takeaway from all this is use more stages, so you avoid general sale, where the efl 2 ticket rule kicks in. Even if that means each day is split into 4 hour blocks (other play off teams have done this) and we go down to say 10 or 5 loyalty points which will cover non STH who've only been to half a dozen games or less in the season. There's a minimum 5 days to play with as they are all digital so no allowance for postage required.
    We just need something better, as I'm pretty confident we'll be doing this again, one league or another, within the next 5 years.

    What I really don't get is how is it ever General Sale if you can only buy a ticket with a booking history of having bought a Barnsley ticket?

    Surely it's restricted as to who can buy them, therefore not 'General', therefore no risk of them falling into the wrong hands and no reason to have a restriction to two per buyer?

    My head's hurting with all this.
