Nope we sold every seat, none spare

Nope we sold every seat, none spare

Should be rephrased as we sold all of our allocation: doesn't mean we sold out the away capacity.

Exactly, always spares due to this very issue. 250 spare I believe

 

[empire]

All I care about is I've got a ticket. If I don't get my allocated seat who cares? I'll still enjoy the atmosphere and game regardless.

Seats are allocated and it's sold out/close to capacity so you can't make a fuss if someone asks you to move IMO. If it was empty then fair game, but it won't be, so deal with it.

There are 4 of us going down and we purchased tickets to sit together. We won't be getting there until 2.45 at the earliest, if we arrive and someone is sitting in our seats is it reasonable to ask them to move?

FFS how small time are we sometimes. Have some people never attended sell-out away games before?

The away end is sold out... so therefore you have to sit in your seat. If you get there and some numpty is sat in your allocated seat, they move not you.

This is not tranmere away on a tuesday night with a large section of seats to choose from, this a game where every seat has been sold. would you attend an England match and expect to sit anywhere you want. No, of course not.

mate don't ask them to move, tell them to move! they are your seats, they can spend 20 minutes trying to find some spare seats not you.

RE: Stewarding , they normally try and make you sit in your allocated seat UNLESS we've sold less then 75% of the allocation (we ALL know the loopholes mind , and the stealth like sneakiness)

HOWEVER I remember Southamptons Stewards being total dicks last few times (not as bad as Norwich mind , who literally have been dragged from World War 2)

 

[Braders]

In all seriousness its because virtually no one does sit in their alloated seat and generally what happens is that someone is sitting in your seat because someone else is sitting in their seat who is sitting in their seat who is sitting in their seat who is sitting in their seat etc.

So, either EVERYONE does or NO ONE does. You cant have it both ways and as it seems to be that virtually no one does then it should be first come first served DESPITE what the ticket says.

Thankfully the further north you go the less this is a problem due to lesser numbers see Notters law.

Yup
