Pre Season Matches.

Only 4339 tickets allocated for Blackburn . We always used to get the whole of the Darwen End about 6,000.

I dont think we'd need 6000 for a pre-season game.

Think we took 5,000+ to Preston last season. But my point is why do they set the allocation so low ? Ewood Park holds about 31,000 .

Policing I'd guess.

My RS mate tells me they have been given 5,600 for Preston which has only 23,000 capacity. I expect we will easily sell 4,000 for Blackburn and then request more.

Well be given the Darwen Lower.
The club will cop costs if we request 7,000 and only sell 4,000.

Don't think there needs to be an announcement unless ifs absolutely needed, and we should know when it hits members sale just how many well need.

Got our 8 for Accrington before, nice and easy.

Why ? It's not a game which us not selling 7000 would deprive Blackburn fans of attending and thus causing them to lose revenue. The main reasons imo will be policing additional numbers and opening/stewarding an extra tier.

I think if there's a demand for more tickets they'll ask for them. All they have to do is give us upper tier, it's not like they have to give us extra stand or anything. With RS at Preston they are just getting 1 stand, because there's nowhere to put other RS. Hopefully they give us more.

It does drop off though.

Blackburn anyone who wants one will get one, i wouldn't be shocked to see Accrington go to General sale.

I also disagree re. Hoarding. They're not "hoarding", they're spending thousands every year watching us up and down the country and we've not exactly had a fun time of it the last few years.

Its the same argument every year. No one seems to miss out in Pre-Season.

Some do hoard, some don't. I have all the respect for those who regularly travel watching Everton. However you do have large amounts of hoarders, I know quite a few.

We've been allocated 2,441 out of a capacity of 5,450 . That's more than generous

I do too.

But there's a lot more who go everywhere, and they deserve first dibs.

I agree, the more away games you go to, you deserve 1st dibs. Sadly ticket hoarding has been a thing since Martinezs first season.
