bet the family hasn't sold out and that on the night there will still be 1K+ empty seats

I wouldn't believe a word the ticket office staff tell you, unless its "I don't know"

Midweek, on tv and it's still a sellout. Obviously it's against a huge team, but still, we could really do with the capacity being upped before next season... especially if we go up 
I suspect this will be the only area of the ground not completely sold out. Even there, you will only see a handful of seat "pairs" knocking around. Incidentally I'm sure there will be scattered singles going unused elsewhere in the ground, but they will mostly be seats paid for but going unused on the day.
My estimate for the total gate is 21,800, around 700 short of capacity, which is a sell out, to all intents and purposes.

Reckon there were at least a hundred still queuing when the sold signs went up at the Amex.

I sympathise with everybody who wants a ticket and can't get one. I hope it'll be some consolation that I seriously, seriously doubt there will be 1000 empty seats, in the family stand or anywhere else, on the night, and that you'll be able to see it on telly.
However, we haven't had queues round the ground for Gillingham or even Sunderland, have we? There will always be more people wanting tickets for the biggest games than there are tickets available. Anybody who had been to enough of the other games to gather 60 points had a reasonable shout of a ticket, and season ticket holders are looked after. Yes, it's a bit of a closed shop (or at least a closing shop), but it's a closed shop full of loyal supporters. I can't quite see what else the club is supposed to do.
One thing they should do though, is warn people if there are only 900-odd tickets left for example, so they don't travel to the stadium and spend two or three hours in a queue that they have no hope of ever reaching the front of.

I already have my ticket for this game but for the Palarse game they said sold out but then they released another 100 or something later on that day. Wonder if they will do that with this game.

My god that was stressful earlier this morning! I think I now have RSI from all the clicking!
I clicked from 8:35 constantly til 9:45 and eventually got on. Then booked what looked like the last seat in the North stand. Pretty good position though, half way back behind the goal.
OMG I cannot wait!!
Hard luck to all that didn't get a ticket. It was a complete lottery this morning. At least it's on TV.

I have a question for those of us that were lucky enough to get a ticket online - I don't have a smart card and I purchased previous tickets at the AMEX. Will they post out paper tickets or do I need to go and collect ? Can I collect at anytime or do I have to wait until match day ?

They post. I don't know if they are getting quicker at it because my Gills tickets, despite being bought 3 weeks earlier, turned up on the day of the game. I'd already panicked by then and got replacements the day before at the Amex (very easily).

They should be posted to you.
HOWEVER..........
the three previous times I've been to Amex the tickets haven't turned up. If you get to match day and they haven't turned up, ring customer enquiries and they'll get duplicates printed out and you can pick them up before kick-off.
They wouldn't, they will have cancelled them when you got the replacement ones. Never will more than one set of tickets work for the same game.[I then took the originals to the game which didn't work at the scanner

There should be a live counter of tickets remaining on the website. Crank up the tension as you desperately try to connect online or are waiting for the 17 people in front of you on the phone to go

Travelled from HH to the Amex this morning as online would not allow me to purchase additional ticket. Already have mine ( ST ), wanted to get one for the lad who is junior seagull etc. Was told they were sold out. Still queued. Informed them that I had been trying to buy online for lad. They said it should allow me to do it. It didn't. It's OK though because they said sorry. Ahhhh that's OK then.... feel much better now.

True, but not anyone...Me I was working for Gillingham, Sunderland, and on Holiday for Donny. Got to Blackpool, Peterborough and have tickets for Palace. I have Childcare issues for the Liverpool game so couldn't go there anyway and the only game that I could have gone to and didn't is Leeds. Thats coz I cant afford 2 matches in the space of 3 days at the end of the month.
So I got 30 points. I want to go to Hull and West Ham games, so I hope they don't put a loyalty limit on them.
With my Mrs and I working opposite shifts I can't really free up any time to go to away games, although I always loved going away. Its a shame but when you juggle family life, work and cash it get so bloody hard to do anything.
But yeah, I get your point. I just hope the club leave oppotunities for all to get tickets to most games. Even if you miss out, at least you had a chance. Then maybe those that haven't been to any matches say by Christmas then can't buy for the 2nd half of the saeson.
However they do it, I just hope its fair and gives us all a chance.

Yeah, I was more referring to those people who say that the games sell out before they had a chance to get a ticket, and therefore how can they get 60 points.
I don't think I can do West Ham, if there's loyalty point issues PM me
I'm not sure I understand, you have been to 2 games this year, and got tickets for 1 more, out of a total of 8 possibles, so what kind of priority do you want ?
I think the system works fine really, maybe they could have had a window for those with 40 points or more, but logistically seems pointless to keep breaking it down
