Blackburn Away 13:25 - Sep 3 with 1515 views | rkditfc | Just wondering, am I missing something? Is it the 5 hour drive? Why are there loads of tickets left? Or did we get more released recently? |  | | |  |
Blackburn Away on 13:29 - Sep 3 with 1438 views | SitfcB | We’ve sold out 3 big blocks in the lower so hardly loads left in comparison. But those that moaned about not being able to make away games for the last two seasons obviously don’t fancy it! |  |

Any idea how many we have sold? |  |

Yeah I assumed we would have sold a fair chunk, must be an extra block! Nice, I have struggled as only on 18 points! So i'll jump on this one and worry about getting there after. |  | |  |

Evidence would suggest the opposite is true - all the bandwagoners who started going that season when the points system was announced have now decided they can’t be arsed as they’re only now interested in going to closer ones. |  |

Blackburn Away on 13:54 - Sep 3 with 1218 views | PioneerBlue | I’m taking it as an opportunity to go to an away game but it is a pain to get there! I was expecting more of those that can’t access away tickets usually to take it up but perhaps our form hasn’t ignited the less tenured supporters. |  |

Originally it was the first two blocks that went on sale and then the other two were added later one near to 5+ points/general sale. |  |

Blackburn Away on 13:59 - Sep 3 with 1165 views | Vaughan8 | Its not surprising people were more interested in going to Man Utd/Man City/Liverpool etc last season despite the travel. New grounds some have probably never been to. Each block is roughly 1k seats? so we've sold out the 3k we'd have got in the PL. Blackburn I would assume isn't a desirable place to go, 5 hours trip, people already been. That's why last season, I didn't mind those people who went to games previously getting most if not all the allocations. Eac |  | |  |
Blackburn Away on 14:08 - Sep 3 with 1075 views | ITFC_Forever | The away stand capacity is 7500, so it was never going to sell out. At the moment, we have sold all the lower tier apart from the far left block as you look at the stand, so still 3.5 - 4 thousand at a guess. |  |

We've sold 3393 in total so far. Compared to Preston, per-Window Sales are lower in all Windows aside from 30+ (which is almost identical). Looks like only the lower tier will go on sale as it seems highly unlikely we'll get close to selling out the last lower tier Block (S01). Apparently Birmingham sold their maximum allocation of lower and upper tiers (over 7000 tickets) to their fixture at Ewood a couple of weeks ago! |  | |  |

Versus 4k last time, at the height of a promotion push. And about 19 that Norwich took the other week. Something to be lauded, not to knock us for. |  |

Oh yes it’s still a bloody good turn out. A long old trip. Been there when there’s been about 5/600 us us I think, so it’s good to see. [Post edited 3 Sep 15:03]

For some, it's more than 5 hours (took me 7.5 to drive to Preston!) and impossible to get there and back in a day on the train. And right after Preston away which was a similar distamce. I'm still going though....! PS. Anyone got their tickets yet? |  | |  |

Guaranteed Szmodics goal included in the ticket price, which is nice of the Club. |  |

Birmingham to Blackburn is a much shorter journey and considerably easier to get there and back than Suffolk to Blackburn. |  | |  |

Blackburn Away on 16:14 - Sep 3 with 313 views | _clive_baker_ | Expect most of that block will sell as we get closer to the game. We'll take close to 4,000 which is a decent turnout. I can't do this one, disappointed to miss Elegi's first goal for us. |  | |  |

Elegi, eh! Let's hope it's worthy of such high praise. |  |

Blackburn Away on 16:28 - Sep 3 with 226 views | Blue_Moses | I'm still missing Blackburn from the 20 grounds I still haven't visited since 1996. Last time I went that way it took 8 hours to get home from Fleetwood so it's definitely the travel for me And it's 5 hours on an extremely good day, it's taken 6 to get to Manchester the last few times I've gone on a Saturday.

Blackburn Away on 16:38 - Sep 3 with 124 views | JakeITFC | I think we only took 2,000ish on the last day in 2015 when a result would have got us into the play-offs (as it happened we lost and got in) so I don't think taking 4,000ish to places like Blackburn and Preston should ever be taken for granted. |  | |  |
