Ticket resale issue

[Qwerty]

I’ve just put our 3 season tickets on the resale platform for the Southampton game.  We knew we couldn’t go a while ago, but it didn’t seem worth bothering trying to sell them till Vardy’s departure caused a little surge of interest.  The resale web page says the tickets will go on sale when the fixture sells out.  Looking on the ticket page, there are a reasonable number of tickets left but they’re mostly singles dotted around.  It seems silly they don’t make groups of seats available on the resale platform , because they’d surely be more attractive than singles.  All about the money I suppose.

How do you suppose the club makes the single tickets into group tickets? 
 

If you have listed the tickets they are instantly available, try looking for your own tickets and you will see they are available to buy unless they have already sold of course

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "How do you suppose the club makes the single tickets into group tickets?".   

 

So, I put my tickets up for sale, and got an email back saying they'd be made available to buy once the match had sold out.  I assumed that meant that my seats wouldn't be visible to buyers until all the other seats (including the random single ones) had sold out.   And I assumed it was unlikely that that would ever happen.  No one really wants random single seats, especially not when we've been relegated.

 

But strangely, despite the fixture not actually being sold out, I've now been told that my seats have sold.  So it's all a bit of a mystery.  I'm happy though, I'll get some money back.

The reply that they'll be up for sale when the game has sold out may be generic rather than a live update on the situation, does anyone ever get a message that says "thanks for re-listing, it's now live for re-sale" rather than "it will be when sold out"? 

Is it possible that that number of seats dotted around are all re-sale seats and the match had technically sold out which triggered them becoming available i.e. all the seats you can see are re-sales not original for sales?

Unlikely for the sizzling blockbuster that is City v Southampton I know but who knows anything any more!!

If there are only single tickets left how are the club suppose to make groups of seats available from those single seats?

As @fazzyfox has suggested it is a generic email sent out and your tickets would have appeared on the ticketing website as soon as you listed them, as I mentioned in the original reply to you, if you had searched for you own tickets after listing them you would have seen them as available to buy,

 

the club have had listing dates this season that allow you to list between certain dates

Sorry to go off topic. But did anyone list for Liverpool, I know it says allow 30 days for the money to be credited back. Does it normally take the full time?

 

2 weeks seems more than enough time to send me a refund.
