One and a half of the end blocks of the North Stand have now been put on sale. Presumably the other half a block is where some of these broken seats have been moved to.

One solitary seat left in the West Stand. Lol.

ES1 is where the majority of the Broken ones have been congregated so don't expect that Block to go on Sale

Any idea why ES10, WS1 and WS10 haven't been on sale? Do you think they will do at some point?

I genuinely don't know the full detail but got told about the seats thing 4/6 weeks ago
When I was chatting the other day though to the person who told me originally he confirmed ES1 is where "The majority" are and when I said it'll be good to get 22,500, 23000 he said it'll go up towards 24k

So I just took it from that, that a couple of the blocks in WS 1 and WS10 and the 2 North blocks (that were blocked out last week) would be opened up soon.
Obviously NK posted that The 2 x North sre now open, so guessing this may happen with the others as well (apart from ES1 unless they are working on that).

Bottom 1/3rd of SS1 didn't go on sale and was covered by advertising for Latics v Utd, maybe they've put some of the busted seats there ?
Hopefully the NS will get pretty close to sell out in the next few days and then they'll open the end WS blocks, going to be a fantastic occasion,
Beginning to wish I'd got tickets for either E/W stand now though, got a horrible feeling the SS will have a bunch in who have no intention of sitting in their allotted seat going off social media posts.

They need to bang the drum on the reserved seating thing in the build up. If the Stewards are the same as for the Man Utd match last week, they won't have any input in to any issues. It was chaotic in the North Stand, with people sitting where they wanted, load standing up through choice, blocking people views and then loads having to stand near the exits as people were sat in their seats. The Stewards all looked new and they didn't do a thing all night to ease the situation. It should be easier against Penrith as they won't have 7,000 away fans to deal with I suppose.

I'm in the South Stand and as somebody who usually gets in the ground 10 mins before kick off, I'll make sure I'm in at least 30-45 mins before going off that experience last week.

Getting to our seats an hour prior to kickoff.

1). To ensure no issues with our South Stand seats.
2). Hopefully there's a great prematch build up.

So people have received tickets emailed to them? Yesterday? I've bought a ticket (or, at least, I thought I had), but I'm not seeing any email.

Anyone? I bought a ticket through Ticketmaster, not the club. I tried manfully to get some response over the weekend from their website, and eventually managed to leave a message, which they 'hope to respond to within 24-48 hours'. That was on Saturday. Heard nothing back (yet). I managed to track down a payment on my bank statement which I reckon is it (and which of course I told Ticketmaster about), but am starting to get a bit worried now.

My receipt said tickets would be sent out a couple of weeks before the event
