Should add, as long as they are registered on the database and don't decide the day before the match that you want to go.
A) There will be approx 1500 general sale tickets, in addition to those not taken by STH's.
B) For some reason, there is some paniky remarks on this board that is is going to be near on impossible for non STH's with less than 60 Loyalty points to get tickets. It won't be, it will be easy.
Up until now we have had a no show rate among our STH's of between 5% (Donny, you remember, the can't miss game we have waited 15 years for) and 10%
Now for Liverpool, not only do our STH's need to remember to turn up, they have to actually buy their ST seat before next Monday. Considering this is extra expense, they need to be organised, it's on TV, it's a school night (oodles of availability in family stand) I am going to have a stab that come next Monday, 20% of our current STH,s will not have bought. That's 3,000 tickets in addition to the 1500 for general sale.
OK, maybe 1000 of these could be snapped up by 60 pointers (more likely 500 judging by how many 60 pointers bought for Palace and Leeds) but that would still leave over 2000 for those with zero points.
If this is the case, 2000 general sale tickets is actually more that has been available for any league game in the last 12 years!
Don't get me wrong, this game I am sure will be a sellout, but it won't be a sellout next Wednesday when they are available to zero pointers, it fact, I would be very confident there will still be a good selection come Friday when some will have to wait until to get paid.
Just a side note: This game will likely be our highest crowd of the season.
Here is why:-
A) Away Sell out (prob not going to happen more than 6 or 7 times)
B) Not dividing the East Stand (that would have lost a couple of hundred seats)
C) Not dividing South stand (same reason as above)
D) Minimal no shows, as unlike league games, people who have tickets will have bought them in the last week or two, not as much as 15 months ago!
Don't Panic!!!!!
