The consensus on their messageboard is we won't get any/many more either but a lot of them agree it's daft their club will miss out on extra revenue. Somewhere down the line, someone at Blackpool has indicated that County will get "a significant additional number of tickets" after we sell out the first 2k. It seems a daft thing to put in an official statement if that isn't the case.

Notts County last season springs to mind. We could have had alot more but for whatever reason... We didnt. My understanding is that we did, but only in the weeks leading up to the rearranged fixture, not before the original scheduled match date.

That was just a daft decision by Notts. I'd understand it if they had something riding on it but by the time of the game, they were just playing to see how many they could score/concede by the end of the season. My Notts mate reckons they were scarred by the Scabs who got all of that side earlier in the season and were a massive pain in the arse as a result.
I'd kept my ticket from the original game, so this isn't sour grapes, but a lot of County fans unnecessarily missed out that night, I think.

We were told an initial allocation and could get more if/when we sold out, which we have done. There’s now rumours suggesting the additional allocation might not happen? Aww ok. Thats a bit naughty if it doesnt happen then.

Been speaking to a Bolton fan who goes home and away a lot. He reckons Blackpool will only be offering clubs the minimum allocation of 2k a game this season, something he has heard from people within Bolton apparently. No idea how much weight it holds mind.

No chance of us getting 5k at Bolton either. They've kept the lower tier for home fans apparently.

They've kept the lower tier for home fans apparently. i think its upper tier they've kept for home fans which will cause chaos as no doubt they will be throwing things down at fans. Wrexham received an initial 2k odd and so it sounded like they will get the top tier too if they do get more tickets. It wont be 5k as the league segregation will be different from cup segregation but there will still be 4k if you get upper and lower

If we're likely to get a lower allocation than previously for Bolton too, I hope we go back to some sort of loyalty scheme and Wrexham away is at a similar time which will be another it would be required for.

Anyone know what's happening with extra tickets? Haven't seen anything with regards to extra allocation being released yet? Was presuming it would start at 10 a.m. today but nothing from the club in terms of how many more we're getting? Edit- In a ground of 17K capacity for a team that averaged about 10.5K in attendance last season I was hopeful we may get an extra couple of thousand tickets. Looks like that hope may be misplaced as everywhere I've looked states Blackpool's away capacity is 2.5K. Oh well, Sandcastles on the beach it is!🤣 should we get more tickets it will be another 1.7k/1.8k. Olivia hanvey said on Wednesday that the total will be 3.9k My dad also reckons that the next batch of tickets wont have proper facilities and it will be portaloos - i dont know where hes seen that though Just had a walk round the ground this morning .and a Blackpool fan said the facilities in the east stand are crap . so you're probably right

Think we only got the huge allocation at Bolton due to it being an FA Cup fixture.
Really hoping Blackpool choose to cash in on us as i missed out on a ticket on Friday.
Otherwise, home end it is...

Blackpool have restricted any home sales to those accounts with previous ticket purchases only, so won't be so easy...However the stadium does have a hotel with pitch view rooms...

You're not allowed to watch the match from the rooms though. Apparently they make you keep the curtains shut, and the stewards are constantly on the lookout for anyone trying to peep through them at the pitch. Bonkers.

Thankfully got a mate who's a blackpool fan so should be sound, although we have been trading barbs for a while in the run up to this game..
