112 suddenly available in E32 now. Blocks either side showing almost none. Plenty of seats also now available in E30, S25 and S26 that were all “sold out” earlier.

There are now hundreds more tickets available right now than there was at the start of the sale!

Potentially there will have been people logging on at 10am or just after and giving up in the belief that they’d missed out. It’s been a complete shambles today.

Oh look, 100 tickets suddenly available in E30…

I know I’m a broken record but people really need to stop saying we sold all the tickets instantly. We didn’t, and people shouldn’t give up if it looks sold out.

214 left according to a quick recount just now. All single seats. Surely we can't have sold the stadium out in just over an hour of members onsale?

Absolutely not.

A few minutes ago, about 300 seats were suddenly made available in the South Stand. Yet this is our most densely populated season ticket stand.

It makes absolutely no sense that we would have sold all the Dolman and Lansdown tickets instantly at 10am, and yet have hundreds available in the South Stand. There is definitely something up.

Just bought tickets in S23. Was hoping for Lansdown, but couldn't be bothered to wait any longer! Shambles, but glad I'm in at least!

Same here.

there were loads in E33 when i went on just before 10am.

There was VERY briefly for me too - and in many other blocks - then they all disappeared in an instant. It simply doesn’t add up.

What time did you start checking? 

The second the button became available to click.

Tickets in baskets pending transaction do not show. If transactions fail, after 10 mins they reset, also if transaction cancelled. Many payment issues today.

These blocks have been showing as sold out since 10am. Suddenly there are hundreds. That doesn’t explain it.

The pattern today is like nothing we have seen before. It’s all the shop today and I’m convinced there is still a lot of availability not showing.

Just bought 4 in S23

Suddenly loads in S blocks.

Told you something was up.

Looking at the site there are only 167 seats left

There were barely any at the outset. Something is up, this doesn’t check out at all.

I think you're right Matt. I managed to finally get a seat at about 10.15 after it kept rejecting my seat selection. It appears that there are only about 100 left in the whole stadium so i'm not sure its going to make general sale?

I simply do not believe we have sold that many seats that quickly. There is an issue.

Just now, Betty Swallocks said:

There wouldn’t have been 10,000 seats available at 10am. Given there will be a couple of thousand taken out for sponsors/hospitality, plus the Atyeo not being available, that would leave about 5/6000 at most to go on sale to members. 

Either way. We have not sold that many seats instantly. I have done this numerous times as a member and this is nothing like the pattern of any previous sale.

1 minute ago, Betty Swallocks said:

We do have a lot of members these days. Given we have 15,000 sth now as well, it’s entirely possible that we could be down to single seats in no time as soon as it was open to members. 

Absolutely no chance we sold 10,000 tickets in 30 seconds. It was singles from the outset.

No, clearly not the case. Who knows who’s pressing what buttons behind the scenes. Maybe what you’re seeing is all the unsold season tickets, which have been freed up, but without the rest being made available. Just guessing! Hopefully it settles down shortly, and hope you can get your ticket. 

Neanderthals on twitter telling me I was “too slow” doing my head in.

There is clearly an issue.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Was expecting to take a few minutes out of my work day to sort this. Now have no idea when the tickets will become available and how long I’ll have to wait.

Utter shambles.

Ticket availability is all over the shop! Hardly anything available at all! Can't believe that is correct. Must just be everyone logging in at same time, or maybe not released the season tickets yet. Think I might wait 30 mins for it to calm down! 

When I logged on at 9:58 there was briefly none, then loads, then hardly any.

Purely based on the maths there has to be loads there, but as usual this club can’t get the basics right and we’re all wasting our time.

Just now, Betty Swallocks said:

Unsold season ticket holder seats became available on the ticket site a couple of minutes after 10.

Right now there are hardly any available in any block. It’s all over the shop.

Just now, italian dave said:

You’d imagine, at bang on 10am, that’s not unconnected with it being the exact time season ticket holders lose their reserved seats. 

It’s utterly hopeless. Just singles available. That cannot be the case.

Just logged in as a member. Seat availability constantly changing from none to hundreds. Usual shambles. Something’s up with it.

I imagine it's to give as much time for members and then non members to buy tickets. They will be keen to give punters as much time as possible. 
I think your last line is spot on, the site allows people to buy the non STH seats now, why not use that and they could do the STH & members at the same time then open it up after after a few days.

I don’t get that either.

Just reserve STH seats for them for a few days.

Simultaneously sell the other seats to members.

Then open it up for general sale after that.

Makes a lot of sense to me and gives everyone a bit more time.

Anyone know when the tv games are announced? Can’t buy until the date is confirmed.

If the date changes you should be able to get a refund, so just buy them.

I was passing it onto my son in law who is a member. So why jump to conclusions? 

Because I would expect someone to mention something so critical to the context in the first place.

Besides, your son in law being a member (like me) doesn’t give him the same priority as a season ticket holder or any right to that seat ahead of any other member. It’s just not how the priority system works.

Potential for 500,000 to be locked out of Anfield

Boring.

Can’t see why the club don’t let me upgrade my granddaughters ticket to adult one. Can’t see her coming when she’s up at 7 for school next day. 
Surly it makes sense to allow me to pay a tenner rather than £5. 

Why should you be able to give your ticket to a mate who has done nothing to earn the priority members have paid for?

You bought a season ticket for a child, nothing more, nothing less.

25 minutes ago, BCFC1512 said:

Why?

Because those replacement adults will have done nothing to earn the priority that members have paid for.

Here was me thinking regional accents were gradually dying out in our multicultural society, and then the lovechild of Ronnie Kray and Kat Slater comes along to prove me wrong.

There's some great stuff all over social media, infact we're trending at 1 on the Twitter sports trend.

Stuff from our fans, Hammers fans and general fans accounts loving it.

The only problem is all the shots can either have the higher tier or lower tier in but very difficult to get both. 

Yep loads of good stuff on twitter, our "limbs" seems to be very highly rated!
