JBFC II Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Don't see why they would hold tickets back for general sale? There's about 20 tickets left on the site now so they would be stopping people from getting tickets by holding them back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 S18 has 115 or so which is usually the staff block. 75 or so in LS upper and 40 odd in S19 as well. Still must be 22k+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a rule that you need to restrict season ticket sales so that a certain amount go on sale to members/general sale. No rules regarding keeping a certain amount back for POTD.
