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. no but youd then be allowed to buy a ticket without restriction

I can't see anything that says booking that hotel gets you unrestricted access to tickets in the home end. I've heard reports of people managing to watch the match through the curtains of their hotel room, despite the best efforts of stewards and hotel staff. It seems a bizarre and expensive way of being there, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of County fans attempt it, especially if there isn't a further allocation!

Imagine booking a hotel room and being told you can’t open your curtains 😀

If there are no more tickets available, what a farce this has been from start to finish. FFS

If County were aware that the allocation of 2100 was the total I'm sure they would have reduced the amount available to season ticket holders & kept some back for general sale?

I feel as though I've stumbled into some sort of Kafkaesque story here. How in any rational world can you pay over the odds for an hotel room overlooking a football ground and yet have teams of jobsworths making sure you keep the curtains drawn? 🤯

Has the club ever done that? Always been ST holders first, hasn’t it?

Excellent. That's cleared that up. Someone's been told by the ticket office there will be more tickets. And someone's been told by the ticket office that there won't.
