1200 I think. Probably all ticket, going on sale in the next couple of days.

Starting to get a bit nervous about this, especially living away from Oxford and needing the tickets to be posted.

Has anyone heard any solid news about this?

Slow work day so have just phoned Burton, the game is not all ticket. However it basically is for Oxford fans as the club has 1200 tickets and none will be available on the day in the away end (unless returns - so none available) Should be fun, if we travel in the numbers I think we will.

Madness not making the game All ticket

Spoke with our ticket office and they go on sale tomorrow.

Assuming they don't want to have huge queues outside the ticket office tonight before the game as that will affect people who want to see Man United, or after as it will be getting late, it seems unlikely they will be on sale today.

So it looks like it will be on the 'phone to the ticket office when they do go on sale, with the £1 booking fee and 50p postage fee. I've a feeling that the new on-line ticketing system wasn't in use for the all ticket away games at the end of last season, so presumably half an hour on hold as usual.

I'm guessing there will be preferential treatment for ST holders? I'm a bit concerned because it will be the only fixture I can get to this season (I will be in South America for the rest of the time).

They go on sale to season ticket holders only in the morning. They have not yet decided when they go on general sale. Guess that depends on how many are left

The on line booking of tickets- can this be done for away matches as well ?

The game against Burton a couple of seasons ago was a nightmare for home fans. They needed a win to gain promotion and we were still in with a chance of the play-offs.

Burton insisted it was not going to be all ticket whereas Oxford were equally adamant that it was! I spoke at least half a dozen times to both clubs before they decided to speak to each other!

In the end, I got a seat ticket marked &quotSeat 1 Row A Block 1&quot, which was nice :-) Quite a few hundred home fans were denied entry, with many more not getting in until well into the first half.

Sounds like lessons haven't been learnt!

How did you find this out? Nothing on the official website.

Probably because it is season ticket holders only at the moment and they don't have the facility to differentiate on line
