Although a few more have just reappeared in block 4.

1 ticket left, but next block still not opened!

I don't use social media, but have they tried to push sales for this in any way using those various forms? I've not received a single email about it other than the first one that told me it's now on sale for my priority bracket, and I've not seen a single mention of it on the main news page on the website.

Surprised how few are going to this, looks like we've only sold about 400 tickets out of the 2,000. I had to wait for members sale for one of the tickets and was worried they may be all gone by then, but now my only worry is whether the tickets will arrive in time!

But Wolves (and Coventry when they took about 8,000 there) probably encourage their fans to travel by allowing general sale and I assume also advertise that tickets are available. We've reluctantly put this on sale to people with purchase history (but not general sale), and as far as I know have made zero attempt to communicate that, other than by people stumbling across it when looking at the away tickets section on the website. It is live on TV though, with an inconvenient (for some) kick off time, and our away form has been dreadful for a few years, so approx. 6,000 still isn't a bad effort.

When I downloaded mine (from the email) it added the new one to the wallet (showing the Burton game), and the old one was automatically moved into archived passes, and it's not showing any game. Therefore I'd expect the old one shouldn't be showing the Burton game. However, mine's Android, I guess it varies for Apple, and between different versions of the operating system/wallet though.

With the amount of pillars holding up the new roof, looks like the whole stand is now restricted view!

As expected, we had nothing up front, and looked shaky at the back, but I was at least expecting to see some energy, urgently, and to, in general, dictate the play. Didn't see that at all though. That was the most disappointing part, there wasn't any evidence that we'd improved at all from last season.

He was a liability at Southampton for years, from what I've seen of him he's every bit as bad as Ward. Didn't surprise me at all how bad he looked yesterday.

2 seasons ago we spent a large part of our budget on a player we didn't need, knew wasn't good enough, for a price that was far too high, who immediately became about 4th best option for his position. Looks like we've repeated the trick. Clearly not a striker, and behind Chaplin, Alves, and maybe even Reid.

I believe they are emailing them out over the course of a few days and are still on the process of doing that. I received mine yesterday, so I'd expect yours is imminent.

It's ridiculous, they should have confirmed the allocation with Ipswich on Tuesday, announced the ticket arrangements on Wednesday after the date was confirmed, and started selling them Thursday morning. If they start selling on Monday and work their way slowly through the priority bands as usual, they won't have time to send the tickets out.

Personally I think the only changes needed are 1) Drop the 50 points per season (which massively weights it favour of long term season ticket holders, including those who never/rarely go to away games) over those that haven't had a season ticket for so many years but do go (or want to go) away, or at least drop it down to maybe e.g. 5 or 10 points per season to give a slight advantage over non season ticket holders. This would disadvantage me as I have the full quota of 50 points per season since it started, but I agree it's not fair. 2) Always put remaining away tickets on sale to people with booking history if there's any left after season ticket holders and membership priority windows. I also agree with what people have been saying, that the selling order and exact details of full/initial allocation should be provided, and updated when it changes, and when it's obviously going to sell out the full/initial allocation then all blocks should be on sale from the start.

Credit where it's due to whoever at LCFC opted to open this up to people with booking history. I didn't expect them to, but it's good to see common sense has prevailed. Hopefully this will become more common going forward. I'd still like them to publicise it a bit more though, as for many people this is the first time in years that away tickets may be available to them but as far as I know the club hasn't really communicated it.

We sold almost an entire block since yesterday's woeful performance, and sold it quicker than the first few blocks sold. There's 3 weeks to go until the game. Absolutely we'd sell a few blocks more, especially as those upper tier blocks are much smaller than the lower tier ones. I know the club refuse to sell away tickets to non sth/members but when there's such a big potential allocation surely they should open it up to people with a booking history. It's bizarre, we must be the only club in the world that doesn't want it's own supporters at matches. Hopefully, it's just a case of (yet again) somebody at the club not doing their job and failing to open up the next block when they should. We'll know by tomorrow morning I guess.

It won't go to general sale because the memberships are sold at a fairly expensive price (compared to other clubs) because, unlike other clubs, the membership gives exclusive access to away tickets rather than just priority access. Something I strongly disagree with but they are not going to change it. No away tickets will go to general sale, and I'd guess (members ballot aside) that the only ones that will make it to members (and that's assuming that the club doesn't just opt for the minimum allocation) are MK Dons, Barnsley and Wigan.

It's the only home game currently on sale, ticket sales have picked up the last few days, and are likely to accelerate, there's still about 20,000 left, and as a club we're desperate for income, and yet nobody has bothered to check to see if the next block(s) need to be released for sale. Complete incompetence, again.

The details on memberships state that it will give you a priority period for home match tickets, which suggests they will be going to general sale assuming tickets remain, which is very likely. However, for away tickets, the membership does not give priority, but access to away tickets, suggesting they are continuing to block anyone from away game unless they are a sth/member. Another year when friends and family of mine who used to be season ticket holders in the past are now unable to go to away games because the club will refuse to sell tickets to its own supporters.

I'm surprised by the lack of interest in this. I'm looking forward to seeing how the team with a few younger players gets on. I was expecting that a lot of season ticket holders were holding back until general sale so they could get tickets with friends/family, and thought they'd be a big surge in sales this morning, but looks like there's been none at all. Looks like they're struggling to sell even B1 and B3 at the minute. Problem is that after that they'll extend it to the corner blocks and so people will then just wait until they start opening blocks behind the goal, which they won't if they don't sell the corners. Should just open the central blocks behind one goal from the start so at least people can get tickets where they want. Shame because I was thinking they'd be at least 15,000 for this, looks more like about 2,000 at the minute.

The biggest issue is the refusal to put tickets on general sale. Being forced to buy membership (for only a small number of games where tickets will make it beyond season ticket holders) will put the price to to about £60 per person. We sold about 8,000 there for midweek league cup game not so long ago. We'd sell that easily if the club let people buy them. Edit: just realised I replied to the wrong message. I meant to respond to the message about how many we might get for MK Dons.

No idea. I don't know if it's been done in previous pre-seasons. Either way, it seems to have been done without any information and notification. A bit like when they just stopped putting away tickets on general sale without any explanation or justification.

I'm glad I read this because, for the Burton pre-season game, I was just going to go in the home end on the side terrace, as it's a great place to watch football. However, having read on here that away points are given I got a ticket in the away end instead. I can confirm that I did get an away priority point for it. I don't agree with giving them out for pre-season games though. Should be competitive games only.

I also got the link to update my details. Decided to try to update them (which I been trying to do for several years) assuming the page maybe now works properly seeing as they've sent out a request for people to check them. But no, the optional Address Line 2 (into which somehow they've duplicated the town part of my address), still can't be cleared because 'Address Line 2 is required', even though the screen clearly says it isn't. And no, my obsolete old home phone number can't be cleared. With this field it allows me to clear the number and save it, but despite confirming 'details successfully updated', it's still there!

If that's correct, and the club can sell as many season tickets as they want in L1, (instead of it being capped at, I believe approx. 22,000), the problem would be if/when we get promoted, if the season tickets are e.g. 2,000 above the cap then 2,000 season ticket holders would presumably have to give them up. Not sure the club would want the hassle that would come with that. That's assuming it was a cap imposed by the league. If the cap was a club decision then I guess then could choose not to reapply it. Anyway, I'd expect they'd still want the cap anyway. If there's 26,000 seats available after away and corporate allocations, I'm sure they'd want to keep a few thousand free for single match tickets sales (which make more money).

I don't count players that initially joined on loan but then signed permanently, so I'm going for Kevin Campbell, with an honorary mention to Mike Galloway who I remember being great for the short time he was with us (maybe just a 1 month loan?).
