More Barnsley Tickets

[Norfolkred1]

From MFC Site:

We were awarded an allocation of 4,400 tickets for the match, a 3pm kick-off on Saturday 26 February, all of which were snapped up after a little more than 24 hours.

The home club have provided a further allocation of 287 tickets, which will go on sale to supporters with 70+ Priority Points from 5pm on Friday 11 February.

Subject to availability, this further allocation will be on sale to supporters with 33+ points from 10am on Monday 14 February, with general sale from 4pm the same day.

Seems odd to have held back such a small number in the first place.
Better than nought I suppose.

They average around 10k spare seats in the league this season (including away fans). Surely they could provide a lot more than that?

Apparently the normal full allocation is 4,700 (which is roughly what they've now offered) however the stand holds 6,000.

The reason for 1300 empty seats is to keep a gap with home fans - aren't they in a separate stand though? Been a few years since we've trouble across different stands in the Championship!

Football must be one of the few enterprises that can afford to turn business away.

There is over 250 seats available NOW in block 1
I thought they'd all gone?

As in the OP, we've received more, I assume they instantly went on sale to the initial points level.
It's just tomorrow they're on sale to the 70+ lot.

That's my guess anyway.

Additional tickets not supposed the be on sale till tomorrow at 5pm.
Whoops!

That was a cut and paste from the MFC web page

Looks like someone set the date wrong for go live etc and then went home

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

There will be some annoyed punters logging in at 5 tomorrow, and no one at MFC to call.

That stand has over 6 thousand seats. Everyone will stand and probably move around, plus I think after what happened with Cardiff the other week you won’t be able to get close to the tunnel

 

[Northerner]

There was about 170 still left until a short time ago this morning and just checked now and none on sale at the moment.
Looks like someones come in to work in the ticket office this morning and gone oh $%*&!

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Not sure why they didn't plan to put them straight back on sale anyway.
