Between 3500-4000 tickets sold today, reckon the first allocation will sell out in the next couple of days and then we can get west stand tickets for any left overs.

That's a great number in the first day I think the West will defo be open before the general sale on Monday should be quite an army of us.

People who have purchased more are probably going in large groups and want to sit together, this is also the norm. Ten people going only need 5 passes, they may well all be pass holders. There's always a panic for tickets, being a long time pass holder(40 odd years) I've never had a problem, speaking as a glory hunter. I'm positive there will be enough to go round, also as others have pointed out there's a whole stand not allocated yet. Didn't Sheff Wed. get the non uptake of City's share, just think if we take up the Pies allocation as well
You miss my point. I get that priority must go to pass holders and members. BUT surely there has to be an incentive to buy a membership / pass. I am not a member its not financially viable for me. I can't attend enough matches to justify it. I do though spend a fortune on the club elsewhere. BUT what is the incentive for others to buy a pass membership if each pass / membership gets you two TICKETS.
I get that one person taking 5 memberships so they can all sit together. I get that. I don't get a membership can get a priority ticket for a non member though. What is the point of getting a membership if your mate can get you a ticket with his / hers?

As I stated earlier, I don't think pass holders will take up the option of 2 tickets, there isn't any point in my case, 5 of us are all passholders. It is plausible that some may want to take a friend or family member, as I said, don't think that is the norm. The incentive for me to buy a pass, is that I have a reserved seat, and watch all home games, obviously, I pay for CC games. I too will miss games, Leeds and Dobbins plus I pay in instalments. It's unfortunate that you can't attend more games, espescially this season but I'm positive you'll get a ticket along with everyone else who wants one.
