Don’t know about other clubs, but we excel at making it as frustrating as possible - and Goodison is typically the prime example (the club have confirmed that all lower tier need to be sold first).
I understand why they do it for some evening KOs (where there’s a doubt over us fulfilling our allocation), but there seems no logic to doing it for Sat 3pm. The only thing I can think of is that selling in smaller batches makes it easier for the staff to locate the actual tickets before posting…??
