The QPR fixture sold out in the 30+ Window and remained so overnight, no straggler tickets made it through to the 25+ window. The Sales 'Profile' for the fixture follows:
Summary:
The Club announced an allocation of 1760 tickets had been provided, my seatmap count matched that.
- The Club retained a total of 195 seats for Club allocation, steward use and to cover the ballot (probably circa 35 tickets for the ballot).
- There were 20 wheelchair / assistant seats.
- A total of 1545 tickets were made available for purchase for across Member Sales.
All blocks were available from the beginning of the Sale, the Sale introduced a new 35+ Window.
Per Window Sales:
- 285 (18.45% of available seats) seats sold in the 35+ window.
- 1260 (81.55%) seats sold in the 30+ window
Points of Note:
* There's not a huge amount to be deduced from such a simple, quick Sale; but it shows that we have at least 1545 members on 30+ points now, a few tickets remained available into the evening during the 30+ window suggesting supply just about met demand for 30+.
* The Sale was announced at extremely short notice, so it's bound to have caught a few out not finding out in time it was on sale.
* Working fowards from both the Birmingham and Bromley sales; if the members who bought in the highest windows had continued to buy available tickets in the preceeding Sales, circa 480 members would have been eligible for 35+ in this QPR Sale. Yet the sales in the 35+ Window were (unexpectedly) nowhere near that. The Sale was announced at short notice, so may well have caught some out? Maybe a few of those highest pointers gave Preston (long way, been there plenty), Blackburn (long way, been there plenty) or particuarly Bristol (long way, midweek) a miss and haven't quite hit 35 yet (safe in the knowledge they can afford to miss a few awkward ones and still pretty much be leading the pack anyway)? Saturday, 3pm, London is usually high-demand, but Loftus Road is expensive, has pretty poor view and we've been there plenty, so maybe isn't popular? Or maybe a large part of the 35+ crowd are waiting for 30+ so they could try to purchase with friends? Probably a bit of each.
* Loftus Road, specically the away section has a huge number of Restricted View seats, 947 of the non-retained seats were 'restricted' in some way (61.3% of all non-retained seats). The Club did not cherry-pick the best 'non-restricted' seats for their retained seats, there were plenty of club retained seats in 'restricted view' areas.
