Trying to drive people in to seat unique and sports breaks options.
There'll be half-empty blocks and unsuccessful ballot fans for games.

I’m 2 for 2 in the ballot, single ticket requested each time. Which is great but I’d rather have this hit rate on £200m euromillions

There’s lots of numbers bandied around about numbers in the ballot and seats available, but I don’t see the backup data.

It might be worth, among active participants on this site, to start trying to build a picture of the hit/miss ratio. I suspect if you assemble a crew of 2 or 4 and try in the ballot all tied together you are more likely to fail. But I have no evidence. Maybe it needs a poll per game with multiple options:

Tickets requested 1-2-3-4
Success yes/no
Flexible location offered yes/no

That would be 16 permutations. It would only work or be statistically useful if there are 00s on this forum who are applying. One for the mods maybe. or maybe just I shut up now

Has been worked out many times! 20,000 fans chasing 7,000 seats. Only 1 in 3 chance for your £60 ballot. Fans knew this with so many fans on the ST waiting list but still chucked £60 the clubs way.

On the bright(er) side, I think what we’re seeing here is what we saw in Goodison towards the end but in reverse.

People were desperate to get to Goodison one last time towards the end of the season so those of us that were picking up tickets no problem for most of the season started to struggle.

I imagine people are desperate to get to BMD to experience it early doors. After the novelty has worn off a little, I expect demand to drop (providing we don’t miraculously end up challenging for Europe).

Yes, quite possibly a winter midweek game might look different for the ballot (and for resale).

No luck on the ballot for me but I’ve got a ticket for Mansfield so will get to see the stadium and my Dads stone on Wednesday. I imagine the ballots will be less competitive as time goes on the excitement dies down.

They should have advertised it as a ballot Blue, not as priority ticket. Surely there is some sort of standards broken there. The club have actually promoted gambling by turning it into a ballot/lottery.

I didn’t bother buying a £60 membership following the announcement about the ballot system.

It sounds like trying to get a resale ticket might be as much use as the ballot for me. Would buying a £30 membership be best for this, or do the more expensive memberships get priority for re-sale?

No priority for resale mate so the £30 one is your best bet if you’re not going to put yourself through the torture of a ballot lol

You can still get tickets on the resale platform if you have the £35 membership but you can't get concessionary tickets they are all full price.
They advantage of the resale site is you can tickets where you want or at least you will be able to when the demand drops.

I have seen those claims, but I don’t think there’s any hard evidence, rather than educated speculation, for the 20,000 chasing figure so that’s why I thought an unscientific poll on here might be useful.
Is it 20,000 for every game? Or just the season opener, or the rs, or for Burnley on a Wednesday evening rescheduled. They may have sold 20,000 Blue+ for £1.2m but that is just a rounding error in the overall revenue. It’s how many weeks of Grealish…
