I'm sure it'll be fine, I know every game last season went to at least second tier, but second tier last season wasn't 54 points lower then top! That's a lot of extra people to clamber for tickets.
202 points is basically season ticket holders who have been to about 3 away games!
Get multiple browsers on multiple devices into the queue and you'll be fine.
Just to say that your allocated seats should now show up on your events list (although we haven't got our tickets yet either).

Why oh why can’t we select our seats anymore? Such a backwards step.
I like to pick the middle block about half way up. Now tickets will be allocated, I suppose, in order of purchase, best seats first?
who decides? How do they know my choice of best? Whats the betting that the allocation will start at one corner of the away allocation and just follow on from there?
I can't remember any GA ticket sales last year. I can see this ending well!
In the past when you couldn't pick your seat/block you'd tend to get the worst seats first as usually the Home side stick you in the corner and expand from there with demand. Assuming we sell out our allocation before the tickets arrive in this case I'd hope the first to buy would start in the the blocks behind the goal and the later the sale the closer to the corner..
This is the daft thing, I'd rather be near the back. You had a little bit of control last seasons, not to the exact row but if you saw it was Row 1 you could wait or try another block etc.
Stands for General Admission. It isn't your row or seat.
When I signed in at 9am I saw 1,458 seats available. So I guess that is the first batch and we'll add more once they sell out.

Ah, just found out how to do that.
No I am most unhappy.
I am in VRS1 which is the corner block
Under the approach from last season I would have chosen VRS2 which is more central.
Not much I can do about being in row T.
This just looks like someone in the ticket office has allocated from the poorer block for those in tier 1 as opposed to the more central block, which I assume most would have chosen if given the choice.

It's annoying isn't it. I'm much the same - it's not the end of the world but we all have our preferences and it's just going to lead to issues on the day unless the stewards declare it's a genuine sit where you like deal.

At least you have Row T, we appear to have been allocated Row D, with my seat showing as 5 - so I can probably touch the corner flag! Not the best seat to be allocated for people in tier 1....

Last year I spent an age making sure we were in the best block, not near the front, looking on other websites to see views etc.. it meant that when I went to games I knew my view would be good - e.g. not in row 1 underneath the net, and now that's gone?!
Hopefully this could be raised at the fans forum?

Where is this? I clicked All Events, the list shows Saints but click on details and still says GA4.
Only showing for the Watford game at the moment.
Ahhh. Cheers, I see, VRS1 too. Doesn't give me much hope of a central ticket for Saints then. Oh well. Will be there at least

Hi, went to my Account details and Tickets.
It details my purchase but no seat details.
When I hoover over the pic of a seat it says "not printed".
Am I in the right place to see details or does that mean no seat yet allocated?
I just clicked on "view my loyalty points " and there under "my next event" was Watford with the seat details.
I emailed the club this morning - awaiting a response. I'll share it when I get one.

I emailed supporter services this morning about this, particularly with Man City coming up in two week where there are different tiers available.

This is the reply I have received from Supporter Services following my email earlier today:
"Away ticketing has changed slightly, we now go on sale to supporters earlier to allow us to get a better understanding of the volume of supporters wanting to book for this game which in turns allows us to choose an allocation from the home club.
As we are now on sale at an earlier time, the reason behind us not being able to choose exact seating is because we do not get the home clubs seating plan until later than usual meaning that we cannot select seating at the point of purchase."
So it sounds like tough luck guys - you can buy tickets early, but don't expect to have anu choice asa to where you sit
