You only need 301 points to get a home ticket, thought it would be higher than that.

Monday 4th May, looks like it's away ticket shopping with a hangover of doom.

Probably aren't enough non-STH's with more than 301 points to warrant a higher threshold

Hence the use of the word "enough" - there's probably as many (if not more) fans with 901+ wanting to go away than there are non-STH's with 301+ wanting a home ticket.

No - renewed ST's are still showing as "Pending" with no point allocation - most probably becuse they haven't decided how many points you'll get (IIRC it was 195 in the Prem but 215 for this season).

Cheers Captain Obvious. I was just expressing surprise it was that low. I'm 901+ and I also don't have a ST, so give a shit really.

Am I right in thinking around 4,000 tickets will go onsale to non ST holders for the 2nd leg of the Playoffs assuming all ST holder's buy?

Thought I'd get in with the obvious before Spacey did - it's all about the power of the +1 dontchaknow.

Do we really have 16,000 STH's this season? Thought it was a fair bit lower than that...

My estimation was quite high tbf. I suspect 6,000-8,000 would then go onsale then.

I thought we had about 14,000 STHs now. So it'd be the best part of 8,000 on-sale to non-STHs.

I know the stadium at best would have at best averaged 20,000 as we probably have this season, but this is where that planned expansion of the east stand would have been handy. A 30,000 attendance would be no problem to sell out in this case, and that's with only giving 3,000 to the opposition.

I don't think one match of 30,000 would justify the expansion......

I would be surprised if anyone wanting to go to the away leg couldn't get a ticket regardless of points, unless it's Cardiff on the Saturday.

Well of course not, but the stadium would have been ready for such a big game that would have sold out even at 35,00 IMO, and would be ready for the demand of Premiership football when it came back around.
