Looks like loads of seats have been snapped up near me in the East stand. Have loads of fans been purchasing membership aswell?

Think there's a reasonable number of members (myself included) who are exiled so don't make every or many home games, but probably do a decent number between them.
A Saturday evening kick-off makes it doable for most, and given how hotel prices have risen for the Hampton by the ground, as well as the Premier Inn's around the city - think a fair few are coming down and staying over. A real case in point about football clubs affecting the local economy that I hammered home in my support post for the stadium.
 
We have not sold out once this year
Night game, so family section not likely to be full and exiles less likely to travel.
Game on SKY
Lots not expecting us to qualify and made alternative arrangements.

Therefore don't panic and suspect demand and supply likely to be matched

Away game - if we win - well its Reading / Swindon all over again !
 
So, now that Season Ticket holders can buy a guest ticket it should get interesting.

We are currently at just over 7,000 home GA sales, having sold 650 so far today on top of those already allocated to Season Ticket holders.

To @OxfordNondie I think you're way off, and this will 100% sell out. Why would it being a Saturday evening have any effect on the family stand? Kids don't go to school on Sundays. It's a play off semi final, for Christ's sake, the only time we've ever been in one, as a EFL club, and been able to attend as normal.
 
Is anyone else struggling to buy a guest ticket? I click on a ticket and then go to the basket but it asks me to reassign the ticket to a member of my network? As a ST holder, I'm trying to buy a guest ticket for a friend who is not in my network - any tips please?
 
As an exiled, non-season ticket holder living in Essex, attending around only 10 games a season I strongly expect to not being able to get a ticket for this. I also have a 14yo boy who'd really love to come despite the temptations of going with friends to see Spurs/Arsenal he's a loyal Yellow. I will try to get tickets but suspect we'll be watching on Sky. The need for a new 16K stadium is clearly evident and urgent...

I’m usually pessimistic, but let’s be a bit more positive than that:

Bolton 40%, Us 26%, Posh 24%, Barnsley 10%

I now live abroad, so can only make 8-10 games/season. Worth getting a Yellow Membership (which I do every season). It's (I think) about £30, but you get £20 in ticket credits and pretty much guarantees a ticket for games like Saturday night.

I thought I had sorted the guest tickets but they have sent me an email with Peterborough tickets attached????? Is Gate 23 in north stand Peterborough seating???
 
Same here 3 tickets including 2 reserved seats all sent as Posh away tickets 🤣 it seems to be only the pdf version though as I've added them to my Google wallet and they are correct for the home leg.

Plenty of little uns will be in bed before kick off!

But I agree, overall this has to sell out.

Over 600 sold in the last 45 minutes.

Less than 2,000 left. Over 90% sold in ES and SSU.

Gate 23 in North Stand is in the home section.

Same here, although as you say, the digital ticket added to Google Wallet looks fine.
 
Does anyone know how many memberships were sold this season?

Our semi-final feels like a coin toss. We thrashed them at our place, they thrashed us at theirs. They have a style which undoubtedly plays to our strengths but they also have a number of really good players.

Then whichever of us wins the semi, a one-off final at Wembley is a coin toss as well - will be two good sides, so more a question of who can cope best with the occasion and the expectations.

The only tie which isn't a coin toss is Bolton-Barnsley. Because whilst Bolton haven't actually been that great since they annihilated us (W3 D4 L1)......Barnsley have been one of the worst sides in the league since early March......

Posh are 2nd favourites, the league table and results against stronger teams in this league show that however we have a chance

You should probably put some money on Oxford. Bookies have us almost as long as Barnsley, and posh nearly as short as Bolton.
