Which if they do is a real kick in the teeth to those who are trying to build up their points by doing the mileage if they stop fans getting the option to attend the unpopular games
Pretty sure the travelling club have to guarantee the tickets that would sell and put the money down before those tickets are then purchased by us. Why would the Albion risk losing money on blocks that may not sell?

And on this: Member points aren’t as valuable as STH points and basically only get you up the STH waiting list, which has been non existent since Covid.

5 tickets left in 113. So initial allocation sold out to STHs surely the members will be given a go next Tuesday for the top tiers?

So as I said, tough on the 1,000's of STH and Albion+ members who are effectively barred from attending a game just because those in higher brackets don't fancy it

I have plenty of points but I waited until today and have my ticket and I have got my (less than 100 points ticket and a first time this season STH) travelling companion which I got at 9am this morning. But had a few more tickets sold and sold out yesterday, we wouldn't have been able to go unless another block had opened.

Away game attendance - and points generally - didn't count towards eligibility for a ST last season, only home game attendance.

f***ing farce if that's the case. Like yeah we can only take 1.5k to city when we took the full 3 to pretty much everywhere else up north. Makes perfect sense.

The club are comfortable with their approach to managing away ticket allocations.

They have to take more - farce if they don't

I’m waiting need a seat for grandson ( member )and ourselves (310 points)
Last time we were there sales totals were not too dissimilar to those this time. On the Friday when it opened to all season ticket holders the club released about 750 in block 313 (upper tier) with about 75 still available in the lower tier. Interestingly by the time the members window had been open for a day we had sold about 500 of those!
So i am not sure what they are waiting for this time, unless perhaps the person responsible for opening more blocks has called in sick and no one else knows how to do it!
Seriously though if this is it there are going to be a fair few upset fans.

Once again, incredible support to sell out with 6 weeks to go before this game. A place where we've never won, in fact, have always lost in the Premier League, and on the back of the heaviest defeat for nearly 70 years.

Well, sold out, not the full allocation. Unless more blocks do open.

If they don't open any more maybe that shows how fans are now low down in the list, especially those with less than 200 loyalty points. 750 seats would cost the club around £20,000 if none sold - how much did they spend on the booklet they sent out with the season ticket renewals, just the postage would have well exceeded that.

We've not 'sold out' the away end at City if we've only taken 50% of the available allocation.
