Indeed. Perhaps a quick call to the club to tell them? Have emailed them. Got to go out for a while so will see if they've sorted it out when I get back. I would imagine a few others have been in touch with them too.

There's 12,000 fans with points, so I think if there are any, it'll be very, very few. Perhaps 500 at the absolute maximum?
I'm quite surpsised/impressed at this, where did the 12,000 number come from?
With this in mind and seeing we've sold 1500+ to non season ticket holders with 20 + loyalty points I wouldn't think they'll get to general sale.

I believe it was Jayne Bebb who provided the figure via the Facebook group.

I guess anyone who's brought only once, then they will qualify, maybe someone buying for odd home game like Boxing day. Do people who may of only brought an away ticket from the club get issued with a supporter number?

Do people who may of only brought an away ticket from the club get issued with a supporter number? I believe season ticket holders get awarded 40 loyalty points, so that's 3,000-3,500 loyalty points holders who have already got tickets. 12,000 - 3,500 = 8,500 loyalty point holders trying to get 4,000ish tickets.

If you get no reply try emailing Jayne Bebb direct I know the ticketing staff are struggling with the number of emails they are receiving at the moment.

The ability of the club to manage sales by opening up the availability in tranches makes for a hugely improved system.

That's a shame for two of our loyalist away supporters. So that's who sings "no surrender" at Town games

The 12,000 maybe has a certain element of double accounting to it though? I know between me and my Dad we have four supporter numbers/accounts (season tickets and cup purchases) brought on different numbers as at the time we didn’t realise the need to link them. I’m sure a fair few people fall into that category, and also we are assuming all the season tickets will take up their full allocation. I imagine a few hundred wont, due to family, work commitments or the time of the match

I think general sale is now looking pretty unlikely.

Tend to agree,my only hope is that all true Salop fans can get a ticket.It would be a disgrace if plastic mancs were able to get tickets in the home stands with town fans locked out.

6000 - 1500 (away fans) = 4,500. 3000 ST Holders....so that means 1500 members with over 20 loyalty points...perleaaaaaaaase. Give over, definitely something not fair going on here. I am starting to feel absolutely gutted I haven't bought more away tickets through the club this season. Doesn't stack up does it? I've foregone my season ticket seat so that I can sit with my family, who are all in the 5+ loyalty points bracket. It was fine for the Chelsea game. Bit unnerving having to wait and that announcement doesn't help a bit - I find it very hard to believe that we have 4,500 STHs and 20+ loyalty points holders. That's very risky/ foolish . Wouldn't have any sympathy there if you failed to get a ticket

I guess I would do what I needed to do(bit scary if it was at Milwall though!)Still think it is only right that Salop fans come first before plastic away 'fans'.

Out of interest has anyone who has ordered online received their tickets yet? Ordered mine Saturday evening and not arrived as yet, first time I have used the Ticketmaster system so not familiar as to how quick they are. Used to be very quick when direct from STFC. Not received mine yet.

Not received mine yet. They come from STFC anyway, at least the away tickets do. In most cases next day but I suspect they have their work cut out as the print at home option isn't available.

No chance of any getting to general sale imo. 6000 odd already sold at 20 plus loyalty points in just a few hours says it all, next couple of 'loyalty bands' are likely to have far greater numbers. Looking forward to Blackpool personally, its only man u... Saw them in the derby recently... take a pillow.

If venceremos wishes to enjoy the occassion with those closest to him and clearly accepts the risk then fair enough!

At a guess, 1 per player on both sides, 1 per youth team player for us, we surely have to give united's hierarchy some padded seats too, plus a ton of journo's from the written press, perhaps they're all being counted as purchased tickets? Still seems too high.. I've heard 5 per player which does seem a lot and Chelsea was 10 per player. Can anybody confirm or deny this?

I see online is still for ST only. Unfortunately I have to cross my fingers and wait for 5+ day on Tuesday but surely it is in the clubs interest to be pushing ticketmaster to get the online sales up and runnning? Surely the lower the number of loyalty points needed the more people are going to fit the criteria to purchase and it is only going to get busier
