    We've got another 6,000 tickets to what we sold for the millenium stadium and I bet there will be plenty of the 17,000 club wembley seats available.

    So

    Good of you to stand aside and let everyone else get theirs first and you are willing to pay for club Wembley seats (how much were they again?)

    We shall see. But the club do try and make it as hard as they can for regular non s/ticket holding attenders.

    Potentially 7,000 people could account for 28,000 tickets

    Out of 30,000. That is not fair, however you dress it up and however much the powers that be have the figures in front of them.</p>

    2 per ST holder no problem. If ST holders want to take more people, wait and queue up later on.</p>

    You obviously don't think we'll sell out

    I can't be certain, of course, but I think we will. And I'm sure there'll be a lot more there for an FA Cup semi-final than there were for a League 1 play-off final.

    Sorry for this....

    ...but I'm simply amazed that you have made any comment on the ticketing situation.

    What is the rationale for s/ticket holders being given 4 tickets each? Other than quick sales, or is that it?

    They range in price in the same way the public tickets do.

    RE: Potentially 7,000 people could account for 28,000 tickets

    Couldn't agree more. A season ticket holder can get their own ticket plus three others ........ Aunty Pat, My brothers girlfriends cat & uncle tom cobbly and all .... (non of whom have been to Oakwell in last 2 years). By god these season ticket holders are special aren't they ? ? ?

    Can't see how anyone can see how this system is fair in the slightest. 2 tickets per season ticket holder max in my opinion would be fair.

    Still, what do i know.

    Yes

    I know and appreciate that but you are implying that this is a fuss about nothing. How can you possibly support the club's policy after the Colchester stub scandal?

    That's what some folk said about Liverpool and Chelsea.

    It's going to be a concern.

    RE: You obviously don't think we'll sell out

    How many went to Plymouth? Does it matter? We can all make a guess as to whether we'll sell out that isn't the problem.

    RE: Yes

    I wasn't really saying that in support of the club more that I think this time people will get their tickets.

    In my opinion the pay on the gate fan should be better looked after. There should be an additional category for people who have kept a number of home or away stubs (say 8?) before general sale. People will argue that this is unfair since the club never asked supporters to do this at the begining of the season but a lot people do this anyway and at least it would be an attempt at doing something for this loyal fanbase. Who knows maybe the club can be persuaded?

    You'd have to ask an employee of the club. Don't want to mislead anyone.
