the hubris and pomposity shown by the club in pursuit of the membership shekel this late in the day is incredibly annoying.

I don't believe this is anything to do with selling memberships and far more about expanding our fan base. Sth's, members and purchase history are not new fans, they're existing ones. The new fans are the sth and members friends, and this is the group they've been pushing as much as they can. They have given loyal fans the opportunity to get tickets, but beyond they want new people there to grow our fan base. That's their remit so fair enough

On the plus side, I am taking my 7-year old son to his first ever game; so if there are untaken seats in our block at least we may have the opportunity to move to other seats in case we get a couple of huge blokes sat in front of us.

I saw a tweet that said Portsmouth sold more in 1st day of sales (24,000) than Southampton took to FA Cup Semi final - also believe Chelsea struggled to sell out last season too so could be looking at about 73,000 again on Saturday with Man City's pathetic effort :)

Just looked on the City forum, someone said they'd sold 21500 so far. If that's the case it'll definitely be a sub 70k attendance. At least our end won't look too empty, especially in the lower tier.

Some shenanigans going on suspect to force buyers into the sparsely populated areas as all of a sudden it’s now:

Upper: 695
Lower: 305
Club Wembley: 6
Total: 1,006

From 1642 just a couple of hours ago

Because season ticket holders were allowed to buy 10 tickets, no tiers or points system in place. The only criteria was that anyone that had been to a Check-A-Trade match this season (approx. 2500 people) got the pick of the seats in the first two hours of them being available.

Our end is going to be spectacularly FULL. A 35K strong Blue & White Army.

Parts of the City end and the neutral areas will be a bit sparse by comparison.

So far down Shoreham Beach, I am virtually back in
Looks like a productive few hours.

Currently 335 on the lower. All the £80 opposite the tunnel have gone now. Most the remaining ones are £80 tickets in blocks 142/143
6 in the middle tier
260 non family area in the upper and 423 in the family area

Exactly.

Portsmouth fans absolutely jizzing their pants because they took 40k to a nothing match where tickets were about 50p each. Who'd have guessed that. Someone should point out that teams like Gillingham and Bristol Rovers have both taken over 40,000 to Wembley - Rovers did so fairly recently. If prices are low enough and there aren't internal politics at work, it's not all that special.

Did Saints really only take 24k? And WHY?

I don't know how many they took there but they sold their allocation - which is more than Chelsea did. Packed Saints end, huge gaps at the Chelsea end.
