Town’s opening-day game against Liverpool on Saturday 17th August is a sell-out, the club has confirmed.

Matchday seats went on sale this morning with demand very high with a queueing system put in place with some reporting they were number 6,000 in line.

With more than 20,000 season ticket holders, 3,000 seats given to the visitors and the summer work at Portman Road reducing the capacity, only around 5,000 matchday tickets will be available for most matches this season.

Any tickets returned to the club will be made available through the resale platform which was trialed at the end of last season.

Coincidentally, the Blues most recent Premier League opponents were also Liverpool, on the final day of the 2001/02 season at Anfield.

Marinersnose added 12:13 - Jul 30 As a season ticket holder this doesn’t affect me but it doesn’t appear to be a particularly fair system as tout sites are able to secure tickets just as easily as would be fans. Tickets for sale within 24 hours at extortionate prices. I imagine PR will have a few attendees just there to watch the opposition. I genuinely feel for those real fans. This happens at many PL clubs and as RK rightfully said the Prawn Sandwich Brigade aren’t football fans.

maninashed added 16:51 - Jul 30 Broadbent the only plan at present is to increase the size of the Cobbold Stand but that is dependent upon the Town Council building a swimming pool on the Portman Road car park. As they are incapable of developing the silo on the dock don't hold your breath on a new swimming pool.
