According to the Argus and official site. I thought originally it was only going to be 1,000, so most people should be able to get hold of a ticket if they get arses into gear.

2,000 tickets available on a per match basis

Maybe they have decided to make more tickets available to fans rather than freeloaders

I'm assuming they have backtracked on what seemed like a ridiculous 1,000 that was being held back for complimentaries etc.

so pretty much anyone would be able to get hold of a ticket , good news for pay by match fans i suppose .
but i cant see why people would choose this option instead of getting a season ticket for our first season in the championship at our new home
( unless its money issues , then i understand )

Not just money, some people can't commit to every other saturday with other commitments, some people may not live locally, or may simply still be an avid fan but not want to go 2/3 times a month to home games.
I almost stopped renewing my season ticket this year, have had one for the last 8/9 years, but will be (fingers crossed) in Sheffield next year, so won't be at every game. Paid out in the end, as I was concerned about getting tickets for the games i'd be back for. There's a number of reasons why people would opt for that route.

I live in Manchester and coming down for every home game isn't feasible. There are a lot of exiles who would hope to make a good few matches in the season, but for whom a ST isn't economic sense.

The club could be accused of being a little bit 'nawty' by putting the frighteners on those who were scared of not being able to buy on a match ticket, and therefore going for the ST option. Having said that, the DD option and general marketing campaign has been excellent from what I have seen.

This is great news to read on a Monday morning. When are the fixtures out?

Because I'm doing a ski season from december thru april, so it makes no sense to buy a season ticket when I won't be able to use it for half the season

Could they?
They've said all along they expect to sell out of season tickets. They have.
They've said the majority of the ground will be reserved for season ticket holders. It is.
They've said the only way to guarantee yourself a seat is to get a season ticket. It is.
Good marketing I'd say!
Good news for us non-season ticket holders. Although it won't make much difference in a few years anyway, if we get the extended capacity. There will be plenty of seats, I can't see us selling many more season tickets than we have this year unless we do well in the Premier League.
Agreed, it was probably only ever going to be the big matches that cause a problem. Gives a bit more leeway though which is nice.
I don't think the club are allowing home fans into the away end if the away team are expected to bring few fans.

Hotdogs, extra onions
If the away club take up 50% or less allocation then the away end can be safely segregated by means of shutters in the concourse area. Netting/tarpaulin would probably be used to seperate the two sets of fans in the seats.

I still think that after the initial first few home games, access / tickets will be a bit easier to obtain, I appreciate that many more people want to attend the very first home game of the season and demand will well outway supply, but after that as I say it will get easier I'm sure.
And of course success (or lack of it) will make a massive differance.
I am sure there will be quite a few people like myself who live so far away and wont be able to make full use of the season tickets for every game, I already have 3 people / couples lined up to take our 2 ST for any games we can't make, I would much rather supporters buy my 2 ST at face value for games we cant go to than I just waste them, it also makes 2 seats available for some games.

Which part of the ground will the tickets be in? Will it be known as the 'stag do' end?
