All the seats have been sold, just not necessarily occupied. Probably a large number of no shows.

Although the capacity is 9,271 I was told by the guy in reception that for safety reasons they are not allowed to sell all the seats , make of that what you will 🤔🤔

Suspect it is segregation in East stand preventing all seats being sold. Shouldn't be an issue in the other 3 stands.

Of course all ‘available ‘ seats are Sold
Any empty seats are just ST holders not showing up but hopefully many have returned their ticket if they’re not coming.
Not sure why people are disappointed at trying to buy a ticket this week and finding out it’s Sold Out.
Scunthorpe on 16th Nov is the next one.

Bit gutted I missed this as I would've gone at full price, the club need some sort of scheme of membership points, ie you've season tickets then like a layer below, as I try to go as many games as I can which is quite a few but not enough for a season ticket

Tickets have been on sale for ages. I got 3 the day they went on sale cos I wanted particular seats. Not sure how membership points would help, just buy early. There were plenty a fortnight ago.

I am expecting another goal fest like Port Vale. And with 800 or more away fans a cracking atmosphere.

Membership points?
This would involve extra work and costs for club for no financial gain.
Solution, buy a season ticket if you want a guaranteed seat. You can’t have it both ways.
Full marks to the club for this brilliant incentive . I have given my ST for this match away as I can’t attend to ensure my seat is occupied.

Membership scheme! :lol:

The club have been hammering this for ages (obviously, as it's worked) so to turn around 2 days before the game and start moaning there are no tickets left is laughable.

It's not season ticket holders for a fiver, it's anyone for a fiver. And the club have been shouting about it for ages. Pretty loudly.

I feel for you if you didn't have £5 until today, but could you not have bought it last weeks payday, or the week before that?
