Unable to buy for my son who is 24. Very strange.

There was a problem to start with for adults also, as wasn't available at 9am, but was updated after about 5 minutes. I expect someone hasn't put the correct bands up to start with. Also a lot of seats seemed to have been sold for a few minutes past 9 which is strange.

It is now showing but wasn't before.
Is it PotG?

It's really odd and imbalanced how they release blocks now. Not their fault though.....

Block 44 no longer sold out and all tickets available....

There was clearly an issue this morning though as about 10 past 9 block 44 had about 6 seats left, now back up to 653 available. I assume this was because people were booking seats for adults and youngsters and finding that all the seats were priced for seniors only so couldn't get a ticket. But of course this blocks the seat out until not purchased after the timeframe for holding.
So nothing to do with sequence of releasing blocks but age bands which I would suspect is down to the Albion rather than Southampton.

I agree in principle, however I'd wager if you email the relevant authorities explaining that you bought a ticket/tickets not ideally located due to the issue, then the fault wasn't theirs.

When it opened block 44 was only showing 8 seats available those being the disabled area . I know because i clicked on it and looked . So i picked a seat in 45 and held it while still looking for 44 to open .The disabled seats soon went so it then showed as sold out ! As seats were now selling fast i then bought the seat in 45 and lo and behold 30 mins later the whole of 44 opened .Why they couldn't have opened it at the start i do not know as they already have block 43 as a safety net if sales were to falter !

...and don't even get me started on the price for a child's ticket

Annoyingly this is becoming a regular problem.

Based on the amount of tickets released is it likely that Southampton away tickets will be available to STH with less than 200 points on Friday?
(I can buy from Southampton but would much rather wait and try and be in the away section).
Best guess anyone?

Same for me too. I booked tickets in block 45 at 09:20.
Just rang up the club and rebooked tickets in block 44. All good in the end.

Strange. I have just been told in a live chat that once purchased tickets cannot be moved?

Just rang as bought in Block 45 as no 44/43 on at the time (44 is now) and to be told they are not able to change once allocated - informing me I should not believe all I read on a Forum!!!

Just rang myself and told not available , which i think is only fair otherwise they'd spend all day moving people about !
As we have already released about 2600 tickets i would say certain to have full allocation
Regarding your request ,change at barnham , all i can definitely say is we have already sold about 1500 this morning . i will try and keep you up to date on availability on this thread if you would like ?

Jeez, that is really unfair and inconsistent from the club. Why let me move my tickets then?! Feel free to DM and i'll give you my name and fan number as an example, hopefully the club can see one of their Sales Executives did actually move the tickets. On the email confirmation received from the club, it showed my original tickets (block 45) being cancelled with the new tickets (block 44) being allocated.
