Had a look earlier.
Don’t know if we can sell any more above the number that have been put on sale but it looks like about 850 left.
The number has been dropping bit by bit over the past few weeks and should be close to a sell out by 11/8

I'm a bit pissed of to be honest. Since I moved from Cardiff years ago, I have only been able to make 4/5 games a season. Cant justify the cost of a ST now but was on verge of buying before price went up.
In our last Prem season I had no trouble getting tickets for a number of games(not the big ones) in the grandstand, but it is not looking good at all with nearly everything sold out. You will not get me to Upper Nin as my vertigo would kick in, if I made it up those stairs!
Have you thought of regularly checking for any returns? Unfortunately, some fans who have bought season tickets pass away before the season starts, my friend being one of them.
I have been keeping track of the number of season tickets we have been selling each day for the past week or so (yes I know I'm sad) and and it has picked up quite dramatically in the last few days, rising from an average of around 9 per day to an incredible 13!! So we are currently well on course to shift the vast majority of the remaining 830 or so in the next few months which if my maths is correct will give us around 22.5k season ticket holders next season.
22500 season ticket holders
+ 4200 seasonal hospitality memberships/guests (Sytner Lounge and Ricoh hold 1700 and 700 respectively, middle tier of the Ninian Stand holds around 1.5k which will now be known as the Ninian Lounge)
+ 3000 away fans (which is the minimum away allocation for stadiums with capacities in excess of 30k)
+ 3328 walk up (Prem rules dictate that 10% of the tickets have to be kept back for match day sales)
Total 33028 (capacity is 33280 so close enough).
I was going to ask whether or not and how many need to be kept back. A mate suggested because of the increased away allocation needed for cup games, the difference between default 3k away allocation for league games and that of increased cup allocation (estimated 4.5k) has to be kept back in order to ensure each season ticket holder can acquire a cup game ticket, whether in own seat or relocated.
