Joined queue at 10 round back of east stand. Took 4 and half hours to get served. Not stewarded so well and some were arriving and joining friends in the queue. Was frozen but good to have two £50 tickets in hand! :cheer:
4000 tickets sold in one hour that seems a lot saying there are 5/6 counters open,did she not mean 4000 in the first 4 hours?
The conversation took place at just after 1:00 pm, according to what my daughter told me, the girl said 4000+ had been sold just after 10:00am not including online.
I think the early birds would have been buying for groups with multiple season tickets so they can sit together.
My missus and son spent an hour in the queue until I managed to buy online, and she said alot were doing the same and leaving the queue when someone got their tickets online, but talking to people around her many had client codes for 10 or 20 people, one person near her had codes and was purchasing for 70 people.
Anyway an update from the ticket office, nothing on numbers, but ar 4:00 pm they stopped anyone else joining the queue, which was still up to the east stand, and they were staying open until the all the ones in the queue had been served.[/quote]
I had a drive down at half 4 and there was about 20-30 in the que and i saw at least 1 person join it.

I was only repeating what the ticket office staff were told.
Having said all that my mate tried his luck, went down to the ground at 4.15pm because a friend had given him the nod the queues had gone, 20 mins later he had his tickets.
