Nope, just bought some on the phone from Mick Brown and he said there are plenty left (although still restricted to Members at the mo).

Excellent, I just got a reply from the club saying the same, thanks. I've got mine, I am just keen to get one for my non ST-holding mate who will give me a lift if I can get him a ticket!

Which means if we only had 1200 this is a rather poor effort from us season ticket holders.

Initial allocation was 1450 terrace tickets and 350ish seats from memory. So we've sold over 1,000 despite them not being on general sale, at a time of year when many people will be on holiday/playing cricket etc. Not bad, I reckon.

Despite all the panicking about getting tickets last season, I don't actually recall a single away game where we sold out before they went on general sale.

Quick question kids:

As an exile and no member/STH in this situstion I would usually call the ticket office at 09:30 on monday, get the engaged tone and keep trying until I get through. But I'm in Oxford this monday so could I just turn up at the ticket office and buy a ticket? I know it's a bloody daft question but I'd just like to be sure. Cheers.

Good point. But given 4000 ish season ticket holders and the &quotif u ain't using your season ticket to get a Burton ticket get one for us will ya&quot scenario I would still have expected to have sold more than we have done to date. Also wondering why the bloody ticket office was constantly &quotbusy&quot last Wednesday - staff hols ? slowness in dealing with calls?

But we're Football League now - Hope the club realise this. That's FOOTBALL LEAGUE. With an even bigger demand to see the mighty Yellows or whatever we are now.
