They were dotted around a fair bit so I'd suggest returns is the most likely explanation.

That shouldn't be possible any more. It used to be the case that a Tier 1 could put tickets in their basket ahead of Tier 2 opening. Then, when Tier 2 opened, they'd merely allocate those "reserved" ticket to their Tier 2 F&F and complete the purchase. I think the club became aware of this...

The club essentially had two options... - Have very narrow points bands after Tier 1 which would mean very few fans would have a chance of getting a ticket. - Have a broad Tier 2 which would mean a lot of fans have a chance of getting a ticket. I suspect whether you feel the club has made the...

I've spoken to the club - a very small number had to be held back for various operational reasons, but everything that is available to us was released this morning.

Front or back?

No chance - they'll all be snaffled within the first minute or so. A few may re-appear later on from people who stuck them in their basket and didn't complete for whatever reason.

There will - sales will slow to a trickle now. I had guessed c500 left a few minutes ago. That might have been a tad optimistic, but there will be a few hundred left.

It's always less due to the club holding some back for sponsors, partners, staff and players' friends and family.

2,369 available initially.

I'm not aware of multiple browsers on multiple devices being an issue previously. But don't blame me if it does cause an issue!

Before 9 you'll sit in a virtual waiting room. At 9, all those in the virtual waiting room are given a random spot in the queue. There's no advantage in being early - the allocated queue positions are entirely random.

Oh, I'd say there's absolutely no chance of Albion saying "Don't worry what's printed on your ticket - just sit wherever you want". I was just correcting the point that it wasn't some fans who said "sit where you want", it was a club through official comms. Seat-hogging shouldn't be too much...

Not fans, Borussia Dortmund themselves said that to their fans. They basically said "if you get there and someone's in your seat - go and find another one somewhere else".

What certain scenarios though? I doubt there's many people in Tier 2 who don't know someone in Tier 1. Each person who gets bumped up as a certain-scenario-plus-one will deprive someone who has put in the hard yards of attending more away games. I'd love to be a Tier 1 plus-one for Ajax, but...

He either waits for you and tries to buy in Tier 2, with the risk he misses out, or he buys in Tier 1 and you try to get as close as you can. He could maximise the chances of this by choosing his ticket in an unpopular area, likely to one side right at the back. This is absolutely the right way...

Whilst I broadly agree, those who held off on travel plans until they knew they had a ticket, or were guaranteed to get a ticket, will find there may not be as many options as they hoped, at least inexpensive ones, and that could see some of those who expected to travel deciding not to do so.

My guess would be the club found that a lot of those in Tier 1 for Marseille waited and bought in Tier 2 with friends/family that had fewer points than them. So, for Ajax, they've used a single "guaranteed a seat" Tier 1 so that doesn't need to happen.

Your post is written like you disagree with me, yet you seem to completely agree with me! Yep - Tier 2 is going to be a mad scramble and only a few will get lucky but, frankly, I assumed I had no chance of an Ajax ticket so I'm happy to at least have a shot.

Everyone in Tier 1 is guaranteed a ticket if they want one and buy before Tier 2 opens. Not everyone will want one, so there will be some - probably not too many - available when Tier 2 opens. So line up a few devices ahead of that window opening and just choose any seats at all when you get...

I think the only real option to avoid that would be driving, heading off straight after the game and getting a very early ferry/train back.
