North Stand sold out

First corner block after the north mostly sold, second corner block not quite half maybe.
 
Not far behind for Coventry either. Only a couple of dozen left in A really.

West looking full too, middle five blocks virtually gone, just J and Q have any significant space. Most spaces are front few rows of the south, and X.
 
If only the 2 front rows were available too, maybe if there's no issues surely we can resell them?

It makes no difference to anything not selling them, it was for encroaching onto the pitch and hopefully people have learned now and it doesn't happen again. But not selling the front 2 rows doesn't stop that happening, if it was to, as people could charge down steps.

May as well sell them, whoever stops us doing so should revisit that decision if all goes well.
 
Hard to say how many were at the Burnley friendly but prob only a quarter full and made a decent noise, 1100 ish at Bristol and they can make quite a noise.

The north and corners will hold about about 3500 if that corner balcony is full too.

Most the noisy singers in one place can sound like double or triple the amount at times.

Plus that noise makes it much easier for the chants to spread round and for the rest to get involved. If the whole 3 sides gets going it'll be epic.

Why is it when you click on the season ticket option, it shows Bloack A-E as all sold out.

But if you click on the Coventry City game, it shows only Block C as all sold out?

If all season tickets are sold for Blocks A-E then every home game will have no spare seats for those blocks.

You cant buy a season ticket for a seat that has already been sold for the cardiff game

Because if your buying a season ticket you can't sit where someone has bought a matchday ticket, so it'll remain greyed out until its not sold for an upcoming game.

Fantastic support from the noisiest supporters in the EFL.
Many of the grounds on the Quest EFL highlights appeared to be half empty!
Our grandson will love the atmosphere at his 1st game - we've not told him he's going just yet.

how old is he Brett?
Don't want to put a dampener on things but for a young kid around five-ish or so, the noise can sound very frightening to a young 'un. Just trying to make you aware just in case there is an initial re-action. Hope he loves it though.

We’ll be in the South stand and we’ll be singing. It’s got to be done!!

Agreed if he's in the North we all stand so he might have a few problems also. 👍
 
Can't attend any matches at present as awaiting my youngest giving birth so need to be available. Hopefully she doesn't go too far past her due date.

Thanks 20's - Albert's 4 and it's good of you to highlight the noise issue. He spends most days being the (very noisey) Hulk, but has never experienced a large crowd situation. His mum and dad says he'll be fine in the South stand (so he can see the north in full colour and volume) and we'll get in the ground early, so the atmosphere builds up gradually. However, if he doesn't like it, we'll have an early trip back along the M6 listening to Chizzy!
Thanks again for your thoughts.

You should be OK in the south. TinyTractor's autistic, he loves the noise and singing, but from a distance. We go right at the front of T, so he can see and hear everything but feels less hemmed in. There's usually seats free round us.

Let us know how he gets on. Good idea to get in early.

We're in T - that's great advice thanks.
One of our daughters in an experienced SEN teacher in Wythenshawe, so we appreciate the noise / crowded places challenges with little TT.
Whatever the end result, we're hoping that we score at least 1 goal, so that he can see the crowd erupt and go crazy!

Same boat. You can't buy a ST for a seat that has been sold for the Cardiff game, therefore it falsely looks like you never can, whereas the seat will be available Monday.

It will take a TO visit choose ST seat, get ticket for Cardiff different seat.

He's not little. He's nearly 17!
Feel free to say hello, we're right at the front as you go in, will be there from very early.

Apologies - I thought 'tiny' tractor was reference to your son, now I realise it's you LOL.
We're now trying to work out where's best to park, as we're getting into Blackpool about 10:30 to take him into the tower / central pier / coral island / donkeys / lunch etc. My first game was aged 7 in the mid 60's, so he's setting a family record and we're making a day of it to celebrate!

You should be able to get on the car park on Seasiders way, usually spaces up to an hour or so before kick off opposite the west, if not, over Bloomfield Rd towards Waterloo. At full time, you can go straight down to the front, round the pitch and out through the tunnel under the West, straight to the car park.
There's no real parking inland from there unless you're very lucky and it's a trek, especially with a kid late in the evening.
Personally, I'd park near the ground for the whole day I suppose, and if you can't get on, consider moving nearer later on.
 
Looking at the stadium plan there only looks to be roughly 350 available seats from block A all the way round to block M. I think we will sell a fair few more into the run up to the game. Can't wait.
 
F - 18 Seats
H - 188 Seats
J - 66 Seats
K - 2 Seats
L - 10 Seats
M - 33 Seats
N - 15 Seats
P - 27 Seats
Q - 312 Seats
R - 114 Seats
S - 119 Seats
T - 106 Seats
U - 71 Seats
V - 37 Seats
W - 152 Seats
X - 291 Seats

There are 1561 home seats left.

Just been gandering at Cardiff City's twitter to see, they've been given an allocation of 2.5k and all the fans are kicking off at the fact its gone straight to general sale and not structured - that tells me they'll be selling that 2.5k out!

They're also slagging us off for charging £27 😅

No way will they sell 2500 tickets and who in the Championship is charging significantly less than £27?

They seem to think they'll sell their allocation. They have a big fan base and its Blackpool away, first away game of the season and first away game for 'em since prior to the pandemic

Doesn't make it a certainty, we'll have to see!

Never seen them bring more than about 750 in the past but these are exceptional circumstances so maybe they will, hope so, money in the bank for BFC so it's a good thing.
