About 900 left in the Riverside, 200 or so in the open BBE upper and then another 1300ish not available for sale.

Total of around 2400 remaining.

So looking like 24,500 or so currently sold.

Great stuff - need to get the rest of the upper tier open now - only back 3 rows left in those blocks

I’d say c23k sold when you discount the closed blocks and in reality the actual ‘working’ capacity of the  ground isn’t ‘31,367’ as even if a total sellout they’d announce ‘30,500’.

Anyone else got tickets for the BBE Upper that say 'unreserved seating' on them?

Hopefully they're not that stupid, it would be total chaos if so.

If they say unreserved seating that could be the reason they're only selling half its capacity

I had an unreserved 15 game season ticket in the darwen end when allardyce was manager....they didn't sell it to capacity for that reason

If that is right for this game, it would be total incompetence and stupidity. Surely they released 3 blocks with intention opening the full top tier capacity, subject to demand. However, this is Swag’s business acumen and management capability 🙈

Sure I remember reading you can sell 90% of an unreserved seating stand.

Current sales 

DE-4k

JW-9.5k

RS-4k

BE-6.6k

Total 24k

I have a few in the Upper and they all have a row and seat assigned. 

Would be very strange (ridiculous even) if some tickets had seats assigned and some were labelled unreserved - it will cause absolute carnage 

[Mattyblue]

I bet if the club came out with a figure right now it wouldn’t be 24k. It’s all guesswork as we don’t know what the  ‘true’ capacity is anymore, especially when it comes to how many corporate seats will be full in JWU central as they are always greyed out.
