[Albion] Arsenal 7000 allocation Carabao Cup 3rd round

[Giraffe]

Nearly 1,000 of the lower blocks still left, with one more block to open. Suspect Upper Tier won't be available for a little while yet.

Being really pedantic and annoying it is actually much closer to 900 than 1000 . I think that last block in the lower tier will be about 800 so if they do indeed have to sell nearly all of those as well i have to agree with you about the upper tier .
When and if the upper tier does open i wonder if it will be opened block by block or will the gooners insist on all or nothing ?

What's your thoughts on the chances of lower tier tickets being available when STH + guests go on sale next Wednesday

I alluded to this in a couple of my previous posts . I was hoping the club would be able to have some of the two tiers available at the same time to give people a real choice especially as they are saying quite clearly and forcefully that standing will NOT be allowed in the upper tier . I would imagine that unless this happens we may well have a scenario when people who would rather sit and are waiting for the top tier to open suddenly rush to buy as the bottom tier sells out thus causing the club to open the top tier just in time for those hoping to stand with friends being forced to buy in the top tier !
So to answer your question i think it entirely depends on how the club view this and what action they take . Fingers crossed that they open at least one block in the upper tier as they open the last block in the bottom .

I suspect there'll be a lot of MyAlbion+ members who (like me) are waiting for 30th Sep so we can take kids/friends. Slightly concerned that the club might decide there's not enough demand to open more blocks before it gets to that point (I'm still annoyed about Spurs tickets).

They aren't exactly flying out with about 800 left in the open 3 blocks plus another block to be opened up in the lower. My guess is that people are waiting.

Bound to be a rail strike that day

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

Small flurry of sales as some return from work means currently 620 left in the 3 opened blocks .

The final block in the lower tier has been released. Nothing in the upper tier yet

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

About 350 left first thing this morning and as they were going fast at 9.00 then block 23 opened another 900 tickets , still no top tier .

 

[HH Brighton]

So about 2500 sold so far, pretty decent, looks like we will sell the lower tier at least.

top tier open

Just an update for those interested. When the top tier block 116 opened today the first 3 rows were unavailable this was because the club released a corresponding number of the block of seats that they were holding in the lower tier for comps sponsors etc. I have been watching the sales since and perhaps unsurprisingly the cheaper lower tier tickets have sold in much larger numbers than the upper tier leading me to believe that when the guest sales start on wednesday there will be very few, if indeed any, lower block left.

Current numbers available 250 lower tier 480 upper tier with a lot of blocks still to open if demand warrants it

 

[Wozza]

Fans choosing to buy at the TOP of the top tier are bonkers. It's a long way up, above the corporate boxes and middle tier.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Is the no standing rule actually going to be enforced?

Not a chance it will be

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

Not a chance it will be

In the bottom tier obviously not , in the top tier i sincerely hope so .

 

[RM-Taylor]

In the bottom tier obviously not , in the top tier i sincerely hope so .

It won’t, away fans in the upper tiers stand up all the time at Goodison, Molineux, St James Park, Villa Park, Stamford Bridge, London Stadium to name a handful, this will be no different

I love these guess the away attendance cup ties and taking everything into account including a chance of a light shower I think it will be 4631 ish.
