    Pre season friendlies.

    Managed to get 2 tickets for each of the two pre-season friendlies. For me and the oldest laddie (bloody 20 now). 1st time back there for 4 yrs for.me.
    Mad crazy this morning.
    I logged onto the ticket office at 9.59am not open yet. Logged on again at 10.02am and I was 8251st in the queue. Ended up waiting around 90 mins or so.

    Just looked back in. Still queues. Only around 4k tickets left for the Bilbao game on the Saturday and around 8k left for the Atalanta game on the Friday night...

    So we have sold around 90k tickets for PRE SEASON FRIENDLIES in LESS than a day!!!!

    If anybody needed proof that Ashley mis managed this place and mis-judged the fans.......

    That is how many hits the ticket office had. I believe 20k - 30k was the largest actual waiting list at any one time

    I am coming up on the 25th for a couple of weeks and thought getting a single seat for both games would be a doddle,now I'm not so sure.

    I'm surprised the tickets were released so early for friendlies.

    It looks like they haven't made level 7 available yet. So assuming that makes the available tickets for each game 36500 they have sold over 35000 for one game and 32000 for the other
