Saying just Lounge availability now £105
There's a fair few (c80) non lounge seats available still.

Indeed , just refreshed ticket page and they're back .
If there's a properly automated exchange available (and I have no idea if it is yet), then there's no real reason to not activate it other than, possibly, concern at it going live when there may not be staff around to monitor and intervene if required.
If it's still last season's string-and-sellotape solution, it seems unlikely it would be activated for this game regardless now due to the significant manual effort involved and the limited time available.

3rd straight 30k crowd then. Can't see Huddersfield,Swansea or Burnley hitting 30k. We should average 30k at the end of the season and set a new club record.
Good Stat. Do you have the exact figure to hand that we have to beat over a season
Last season was our record average at 27.996. This season none of our attendances even against the smaller clubs will drop that low. Nailed on record. Would love to average 30k, will be close.

From a quick look there are just 6 (six) seats available in the West Stand for sale (excluding the £105 quid offerings which nobody's likely to buy). Cant be arsed to check the whole ground.
"Sell out" really does mean sell out for Mr Barber it seems.
Either that or in reality we have no ticket exchange.
I'm looking because I (+1) can't make Sunday and nor am I able to slip my tickets to anybody (not that I would if I could, obviously
)

Three seats all in a row - I don't want them to be empty. They're half price and kids can have them for free. PM me if you're interested. Would prefer to pass them on as a block but will split if you only want one or two. Theoretically speaking. Obviously I wouldn't do this for real.
I asked elsewhere but didn't get a response. I've seen you make a few comments on the subject. Have you had any direct contact with club on their intentions? Is 2.0 going to happen? Will it allow us to put unwanted tickets up in advance so if it does open it already has stock (that's my particular requirement!)
I know a proper automated ticket exchange was being deployed for this season, although clearly was not ready in time for the Man City fixture.
I’ve not asked any details beyond that. I can do, although it’s all a bit moot if we’re not selling out, or are only doing so just before a game.
It feels as though other than the visits of the “big clubs” the size of the Amex and the pricing of tickets is almost perfectly in balance - we sell just enough to fill it. Ish.

EVERTON
I've booked my holiday to escape after the Arsenal game. Problem is the price for 14 nights was only £30 more than for 11 nights. Took a long time convincing me but in the end had to book the two weeks. Annoyed as Rooney* was one of the top players I really wanted to see this season.
So my ticket will not be used because Everton wont sell out 17 days in advance and after that I'm not here. Truth is it will be used by a relative, but this case proves the stupidity of the system. If I could put my ST as available now it would be so much easier. Also, knowing the seat next to me is a single and sold match by match, it could become two seats together.
*Rooney. Never saw George Best and always regretted it. Want to see him for that reason. Different class to Best but still a world class player.

This 'just about selling out' thing is a bit of a red herring. But the ticket exhange will be too if it's only deployed at the moment of an official sellout. To re-iterate, I get that no tickets should be offered for sale via the exchange until it's a sellout but the facility to make them available if you know you are not going should be there the moment the fixture goes on sale.
Newcastle will be declared a sellout by the club, and probably today. But there will be no time for those who have known they won't be able to make it for weeks to make their ticket available.
Then, roll on tomorrow. It's a nice day, people want to make a late decision to go, but can't. There will be dozens, maybe a hundred or more who would have made that decision tomorrow. Maybe many hundreds if availabilty was there and it's availability communcated via the club.
But instead, it will be a sellout. There will be 100's of empty seats, probably well over 1000. And people will miss out. STH won't get a dime back on their ticket and will even run the gauntlett of the clubs wrath if they think about letting a mate go in their place.
It is a shame. With Everton looking like sellout out weeks before, I hope the real deal is in place for that.
Anyhow, back on topic. Seats currently available are:-
North = 2 (both front row wheelchair area - but they are next to each other)
WSL = 6
Shelf = 13 (family only)
South = 17 (1 pair in S1G)
ESL = 25 (9 in family , no pairs)
ESU = 17 (3 pairs in E3G)
Premium lounge access = 23 (in W2A)
I completely understand the point - it's not lost on me at all.
I would imagine that any ticket exchange system worthy of the name would allow people to mark their ticket for any given game as available such that when the exchange becomes active there is already a stock of tickets available to sell. Does our though? I have no idea.
Cheers, I didn't appreciate it was due so hopefully soon. I'd assume they are buying/licensing vs building so being this late is odd.
It may well be somewhat irrelevant but they could chose to release pairs/triples before selling out when they only have singles left. I never really understand their approach to selling and how relatively large numbers appear in dribs and drabs. I've seen it suggested as returns, but the numbers look too high. I don't know but I take your point, cheers
Was talking to a pal at work about this - he is a STH at Arsenal and that's how theirs works - you can stick it on the exchange any time, but it'll only be available for purchase if the club have sold out, at which point all the exchange tickets go live.
