Has Sky put paid to a bigger allocation? Thought there might be appetite for a big allocation given how we've sold away days recently but it seems people aren't as enthused by another long trip with a funny kick off time.
Anyone else think it likely we will want/take more if we can? Away support has been phenomenal this season (which isn't hard when we win so much) so are people keeping their powder dry for Nodge tickets or just not bothered by this one? |  |

Think we can/will sell 5,000+ given the choice, seems weird on someone’s behalf that the initial allocation is so paltry. |  | | |

I know 2014/15 was a different proposition, but thought the Venkys would want the cash and we were an easy sell for more. Perhaps it'll just go up in stages, or it's just a bridge too far for many and general sale might allow those who barely get to games a chance? | |

We’ll get more if that sells, which I think it will.
Club have said that’s an ‘initial allocation’ - Blackburn will give us as much as we want because Venky’s innit. |  |

Away fans can have the whole stand if they can sell 7k tickets. Good Friday and late kickoff will make it impossible for some fans. If Blackburn are operating a no returns policy (so Town have to pay for all the tickets they requests, irrespective of whether they get sold or not), then it makes sense to test the water with an initial allocation and add more if needed. |  | | |

Does anyone know if this initial allocation only sells out at 5+ points bracket for example, whether the club will request additional tickets ahead of general sale?
I have a couple of people who want to go and make a weekend of it but they won't be until the general sale bracket. |  |

Trains are very sh1t out of London Easter weekend as well. Even getting to Manchester looks too much hassle let alone Blackburn. |  |

In the same boat as hoping to go with Junior and Miss Slave. |  |

Yep, hoping to make the most of the Easter holidays and take the boys up for an overnight road trip for their first away day of the season. |  | | |

We can definitely blame Sitters if it doesn't work out. | |

Really surprised about this one. Thought we'd sell 5k. |  |

We get three points for a win there, same as Norwich, so would be nice to see that lower tier full of ITFC at least, to give the players some backing and cancel out the home support which is likely to be sparse given their form and the fact it's on Sky.
Appreciate it's a long journey etc |  |

Club only receives an admin fee for away ticket sales I believe, rather than a split of the gate, so would be cheeky if there's a no returns policy. Sensible to release in batches for staffing. Think it would have been sensible to open the lower sale windows earlier too, given the number available. [Post edited 19 Mar 14:39]

Sold out initial allocation. Site now says 'coming soon', so expecting a further block (1k or so) to be released. Would imagine that'll be it. | |

Coming soon means they are going on sale to the next tier at 10am, not that they are sold out. |  |

I know that no returns was a thing some years ago, and Town rightly ordered in batches so that they managed their financial risk. Would have been ME days but would still be good financial practice today in such circumstances.
The other perspective is that clubs are only required to give away fans 2k seats, so this could simply be a default starting point to allow the hosts to gauge how many staff they are going to need to employ to manage the away section.
It will be fine. If 5k fans want to go, the we will get tickets. Lots of uncertainty mind given, TV travel challenges and kick off time. | | | |

It doesn't seem that likely that 5000 want to go if we've managed to get to 5+ points without selling out 2k. | |

No, but we might sell 3k or just over. | |

That is my assumption. I'll be grabbing one on general sale. | |

We’ll get more if that sells, which I think it will.

Will it depend on the terms of us taking more? No return would obviously limit our appetite to take a large initial allocation. |  | | |

Looks like it's sold out....another block released later maybe? | | | |

5k was a random figure rather than a prediction...
IIRC Cardiff sold quite a few once it got to general sale, but that was a Saturday at 3pm kick off and there were trains. | | | |

Two more blocks just added in the upper tier. | | | |
