If we're currently on around 21K then I don't see us getting much over 30K tbh, if at all. Surely today will be the last day of significant sales with the number just trickling upwards after today. People generally want to get their tickets ordered and secured and I'd imagine most would do so in the first 2 days of general sale. I hope I'm wrong and we still break the 35K mark but even if we don't, were still going to way outnumber the fishy people which will be intimidating for them. Outnumbering the other fans means nothing btw. We would be in the 2nd tier(of English football) if that factor counted. True. But would our triumph back in '07 have been such an amazing and memorable occasion without the 40k gasheads going mental as the third goal went in? You could say 'yes' but it wouldn't have felt QUITE the same for me if there were only 15k there and empty seats all around me. It was the gas army that was the cherry on the cake I reckon..

Well people were preficting 30k Gas and 20k Grimsby total at one stage before sales started - think we will do 35k at least now but not sure Grimsby will make let alone exceed 20k based on current sales unless they are waiting for the boat to come in and there will be a late rush !! I suspect we'll be none the wiser until the game kicks off considering the conference twitter account's unhelpful updates. They can't even seem to clarify if the daily sales updates include the BDO tickets!

"TICKETS: The current number of tickets sold after day one of General Sale stands at 21,500!!" - Rovers facebook. If that's the case I think we're more likely looking at 30k rather than 40k by the end of next week

Just got mine and could only get top tier (which I was quite surprised about) Guy on the phone said WE have sold 20k so far. UTG Strange, whole of bottom two tiers sold out and 3 blocks in the top (3500 between them) Strange indeed. So if we've sold out the bottom two tiers and that's 20,000 tickets, does that mean just the top tear holds the same number again? Doesn't quite add up.

Hopefully there will be a mini surge this evening and overnight as many people who work 9-5 won't have access to a computer

I can't stop myself from refreshing my email every 5 minutes - it's agony!
Just as well I'll likely be at work when they're be delivered otherwise there'd be a condensation build up on my front room window until the postman shows up!

I wish I had his gift of the gab - he always knows just the right thing to say, and I always find myself nodding in agreement whenever I hear / read his comments!

Cat 1 tickets completed sold out now by the look of things??? Says no tickets available Yeah, I booked mine at 10am and they were sold out at that point. Bit disappointing as I was hoping for seats near/in the Royal Box. Oh well, have to settle for mid way up behind the goal with the rabble.

Seeticket's website is quite good to be fair but their service with posting the actual things out is Brine poor. I expected to get them yesterday with special delivery or today at the latest. Me too. I read somewhere they get dispatched quite late in an attempt to reduce ticket touting...

to be honest, emails all sound good, the money has gone from my bank already (nope, they didn't f@ck about with that element of the transaction) so i'm going to 'try' to relax and wait for the golden goose eggs to land on my door step.... Money gone from my account also.
Oh to have the tech skillz to hack into See Ticket's buldging bank account!!

Yes it is a pain in the... They did suggest you could leave a LARGE note on your door asking the courier to take the package / tickets to a specific neighbour. They also suggested an even larger note telling burglars that you will be out all day. When I'm not home they tend to shove the parcel in the recycling bin or leave them with a stranger 8 doors up. If they those antics with my precious tickets there will be hell to pay!

Info from see tickets:
Re. Standard delivery -
@seetickets: @xplosiv77 The first class tickets will definitely be posted in time, there is just a slightly higher risk of them being lost in the post.
Re. Special delivery -@seetickets: @xplosiv77 Hi LJ. They will go to your local sorting office and you will be left a while you were out card. RML

Can anyone confirm whether it's possible to have the tickets sent by special delivery to an address other than the billing address? I'm thinking it might be best to get'em sent to my work...
