Second half of Block 40 up grabs now 427 tickets to go.
Looking like a decent turnout.

Just bought for me and my Daughter. Her first game in about 12 years but she has the bug now. Tried to buy her a ticket for Leeds but they said cant do that until she has actually been to the Stoke game. I told them on the chat that it says purchase history. The person on the chat just said "thanks for your feedback" and closed the chat. Nice bit of customer service. I get it that I could have just bought the ticket for Stoke so that I could buy one for Leeds but thats a pretty expensive way of going about things.

Yep - great effort away, especially as most will be travelling from the south coast during a period of so much uncertainty on the trains and a cost of living crisis.
Makes it more bizarre, though, that the club never take the full amount for Leeds when we'd have surely sold out

They did eventually take the full allocation for Leeds. 102 still available in the lower tier.

If the rest of block 40 goes then that looks like 2500ish sold.

Thought same. For your loyalty you get a worse seat with the worst view!
It’s daft, isn’t it.
I was happy to wait for general sale to get a ticket for a friend who has no purchase history (been living abroad) as I knew it wouldn’t impact on the quality of the seat we got.
I was even tempted to leave it longer to get the seats on the left of block 40, as it was obvious they’d need to be released.
Why does this always seem to be the way away tickets are sold? Surely the club can see its not fair on those who go to more games and potentially contributes to the “sit where I like” mentality many seem to have.

I guess its it because the other club sells the shittest tickets first, and we only buy what we know there is demand for?
I had to give up my season ticket as I have moved to Oswestry in Shropshire just about an hour from Stoke so this will be my first game since December 2021. Going along with my fellow ex Brighton friend who lives in North Wales. Hopefully we see a great game and get a good result.

By my maths about 2200 sold so far, will be somewhere near 2500 if the rest of block 40 sells. But with 10 days to go, and if they open another block, we could be reaching 3000ish at the current rate of sale. That would be impressive for a cold tuesday in stoke with a 7.15pm kick off thats also on TV.
Doesn’t look like 40 will be full, so we can all relocate on the night
Good away day Stoke. Looks like they're even less excited than us re this one as only opening 2 stands for home fans. Last time we went there in the FA Cup, they got to the final and seem to remember they had no players fit. Be tough but we should have enough. Hoping to go

77 currently on sale in block 40. This is trundling along nicely, can we get block 39 to open?
