Leicester City Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 11:25 8 May 2025

Belatedly (the end of season slump is affecting me) the 'Profile' for the last Away Ticket Sale of this season is here.

I hope some of you have found it interesting, I'll try and capture the whole season next season (annoyingly I missed the first two matches of this season!).

The Leicester Away fixture has sold-out at the 5+ Window, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 3292 tickets had been provided, my total seat-map count ran slightly lower at 3290.

The seat-map suggests 44 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 262 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 65 for the Ballot, 197 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2984 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1818 (60.92% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

192 (6.43%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

91 (3.05%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

182 (6.10%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

516 (17.29%) seats sold in the 10+ window.

185 (6.2%) seats sold in the 5+ window.

Points of note:

* This is the first Premier League fixture to make it to the 5+ Window.

* Relegation confirmed pre-sale, coupled with 'been there in fairly recent history' and 'will have an opportunity again next season', along with no 'last game at Goodison' draw, saw sales in all higher Windows drop significantly.

* Many thanks to those of you who've sorted me out with occasional tickets throughout the season, very, very, much appreciated!

Everton Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 12:54 4 Apr 2025

The Everton Away fixture has sold-out today (15+ Window) and looks like it will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 2967 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran slightly higher at 2976.

The seat-map suggests 40 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 256 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 196 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2700 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

2169 (80.33% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

273 (10.11%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

166 (6.15%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

92 (3.41%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

Points of note:

* This fixture is the last ever 3pm Saturday Premier League fixture at Goodison.

* Goodison Park has a high number of Restricted View seats; 252 of the seats made available to purchase (equivalent to 9.3%), only Crystal Palace has more this season.

* Sales in 30+ have increased since the Newcastle Sale, but show no growth following the previous Chelsea sale.

* 20+ showed slight growth, possibly because a good number of tickets reached the 15+ Window for Newcastle, so a noticable number of members will have managed to move up to the next window.

Newcastle Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 10:27 31 Mar 2025

The Newcastle Away fixture has sold-out today (10+ Window) and looks like it will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 3204 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at the same.

The seat-map suggests 32 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 333 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 64 for the Ballot, 269 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2839 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1938 (68.26% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

268 (9.44%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

152 (5.35%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

265 (9.33%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

216 (7.61%) seats sold in the 10+ window.

Points of note:

* This fixture is the largest Premier League allocation this season by some distance.

* This is the first Premier League fixture that's shown a decline in purchases in the 30+ window (probably an element of apathy creeping in and it's a looong way to travel).

* As a result of lower than usual sales in the top window, combined with the large allocation, this fixture provided a rare opportunity for 10+ to have a crack with a a decent number of tickets making it that far.

* This is the first fixture in quite a while where the 15+ Window passed without selling out, It's as good an indication as we've seen on the rough numbers eligible in 25+, 20+, 15+, fairly small numbers, suggesting a high number of eligible Members in 30+, a high number in 10+, but not so many in between.

Chelsea Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 10:17 24 Mar 2025

The Chelsea Away fixture has sold-out today (15+ Window) and looks like it will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary:

The Club announced an allocation of 3065 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at the same.

The seat-map suggests 60 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 268 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 208 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2737 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

2235 (81.66% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

306 (11.18%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

144 (5.26%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

52 (1.9%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

Points of note:

* This was the largest 'announced' allocation this season (although the seatmap for Old Trafford suggested there were closer to 3100 tickets available rather than the announced 3000 for that fixture).

* This is the first 'normal-ish' fixture for a while (Premiership, full 3000-ish allocation, weekend), being a London game at a club we've not visited for 14 years, it should give a reasonable view on membership distribution in the top few Windows (albeit we're probably seeing a slight drop-off due the unlikliness of survival, also Sunday afternoon with rail-replacement buses won't help).

* Migration through bands towards a top heavy distribution continues (30+ grows, 25+ and 20+ shrink).

* With a few tickets dropping through to 15+, some of those with the fastest clicking might have had a chance to pick up an elusive extra APP to break into 20+, but even so; Newcastle and Everton are probably 'safe' for 20+.

* If somehow we're still in the running by the time we get to Leicester (unliklely, but you never know), the criticality of the match would probably see a higher take-up in the upper Windows (currently in 30+ you can skip a few matches without fear of losing your purchase ability), which may see 20+ struggling to guarantee a seat. Same may be true simply because it's the 'last away of the Season'.

* Everton fixture will be up for sale in the next few weeks, if anyone might be able to help me out with a ticket drop me a line...

Bournemouth Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 12:36 10 Mar 2025

The Bournemouth away fixture sold out within seconds upon the opening of the 30+ Window (12pm Monday), so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 1307 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at the same. 22 seats were marked Restricted View and 2 Severely Restricted.

The Seat Map suggests 22 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 191 seats unavailable for purchase (likely breakdown: 26 retained for the Ballot, 165 retained by the Club / reserved for Steward seating).

There were 1094 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

879 (80.35% of available seats) seats sold in the 40+ window.

215 (19.65%) seats sold in the 30+ window.

Points of note:

* The Club introduced a new 40+ Window for this fixture given the small allocation, but there was no 35+ Window, remaining tickets went straight to 30+.

* Analysis of previous sales suggests it's likely there were just under 1000 Members with 40+ points in advance of this sale.

* There was no 35+ Window, but Analysis of previous sales suggests it's likely there would have been around 500 Members eligible in that Window.

* 40+ members are very 'safe' (ie they don't need the extra APP at any cost), so the long-distance plus mid-week fixture likely explains why the 40+ Sales weren't closer to high-900.

Nottingham Forest (FA Cup) Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 12:22 3 Mar 2025

As of 12pm today (Monday 3rd March, the day of the fixture) the Nottingham Forest FA Cup match is not quite sold out but remaining tickets are withdrawn from online sale. So the Ticket Sales 'Profile', as best as can be determined through online sales, for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 2932 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at 2930.

Seats were made available for sale in batches (as per FA Rules where it's unknown if the allocation will reach sell-out):

* Initially only blocks W1, W2, X1 and about 1/2 of X2 were made available (1844 seats).

* The remainder of block X2 (276 seats) were 'released' late-afternoon in the 5+ Window.

* 24 previously retained seats were 'released' just prior to the Season Ticket Window beginning.

* Approximately half (283 seats) of block Y1 was 'released' a few minutes into the Season Ticket Window.

* The remainder of block Y1 (291 seats) was 'released' a few hours into the General Sale Window (Weds am).

* 17 previously retained seats were 'released' on the morning of the fixture.

Considering all the above; the seat-map suggests 26 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 169 seats unavailable for purchase (Club retained / Steward seating, no Ballot for this fixture).

There were 2735 seats made available for sale.

764 (28.56% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

137 (5.01%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

60 (2.19%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

168 (6.14%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

408 (14.92%) seats sold in the 10+ window.

403 (14.73%) seats sold in the 5+ window.

227 (8.30%) seats sold in the 'Season Ticket Holder' window.

456 (16.67%) seats sold in the 'General Sale' window.

95 (3.47%) seats were unsold as of 12pm on 3rd March.

Points of note:

* As for Coventry; no Away Priority Point (APP) allocated for this fixture.

* Low demand throughout all Windows; we've been recently, horrible kick-off date/time, televised and no APP. We could have requested a higher allocation, but appears we got it spot on with only requesting 10%.

* This is the first away fixture this season to reach 'General Sale'.

* Multiple Windows per day with blocks of seats being released as the sale progressed etc, made this a tricky one to keep track of but I'm pretty confident the 'profile' is accurate to within 10 or so seats per window.

Crystal Palace Away Ticket Sale 'Profile'
at 10:54 7 Feb 2025

The Crystal Palace Away fixture first sold-out around 10:15 today (25+ Window), a few seats rattled around for 30mins or so but it appears to be actually sold-out by around 10:45. So the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 2687 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count matched this.

The seat-map suggests 58 wheelchair + companion spaces, 268 seats unavailable for purchase (estimated 54 for the Ballot, 214 retained by the club and/or for steward seating).

There were therefore 2361 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

2040 (86.40% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

321 (13.60%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

Points of note:

* Sales in the 30+ Window exceeded 2000 for the time this season.

* Growth in 30+ sales continues at around the same rate as it has over the past 5/6 sales (excluding Coventry).

* This is the first sale not to make it to 20+ since the small allocation of Brentford, the combination of a lower then usual allocation and upwards migration being the likely contributory factors.

* Selhurst Park has the highest number of restricted-view seats in the away section so far this season at 384 seats (or 16% of available-to-purchase seats).

* First away fixture of the season (if I remember correctly) with an element of digital ticketing.

* Bournemouth Sale coming up soon/next (depending on FA Cup progression), looks like their usual visitors allocation is 1318 (so about 1100 would be expected to be available in points-based-sales), what will the Club do? Introduce new Windows (would likely need 35+ and 40+ windows as sales-stats would suggest there's probably already around 1500-1600 members at 35+)? Invite only? Free-for-all with the existing Windows?

Coventry City Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 15:32 4 Feb 2025

Around 3pm the ticketing site said 'sold out' for the fixture having had only a handful of tickets rattling around for a few hours. So it seems fairly safe assumption to say that the Coventry City Away fixture sold-out today (Season Ticket Window) and will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 4892 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at 4885.

The seat-map suggests 42 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 175 seats unavailable for purchase (initially this was 273, but ballot seats, estimated at 98, were released back into the general sales pool at 5+).

There were therefore 4668 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' / season-ticket-holder sales windows.

1191 (25.51% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

360 (7.71%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

101 (2.16%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

349 (7.48%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

1219 (26.11%) seats sold in the 10+ window.

1036 (22.19%) seats sold in the 5+ window.

412 (8.83%) seats sold in the 'Season Ticket Holder' window.

Points of note:

* By far our largest allocation this season.

* All windows 20+ and up saw about a 40-50% decline in sales over what would usually be expected from a Premiership weekend fixture. Anecdotal evidence suggests this is, in part, due to higher-point members waiting for lower windows to buy seats together with friends / family. Some of the sales drop will inevitably be to do with it being only the Cup, we've been there recently, etc.

* No away-points allocated to prevent purchasing with no intention of attendance (a la AFC Wimbledon), this will have contributed (to some extent) to slower sales in higher-windows too.

* First opportunity for Season Ticket Holders, or 5+ members to purchase Away during the normal 'sales' windows (and a rare opportunity for 10+, last sale to reach 10+ was Southampton, 11 sales ago).

* Combine the 10+ and 5+ Windows (2255 tickets combined), deduct a estimated number for higher-point members choosing to buy late to sit with friends/family (pure guesswork, I went with 255), and we're left with circa 2000 who fit the criteria of "desperate to see Town on the road, any game'll do".

* As this sale made it to 5+, all seats reserved for the ballot were released back into the 5+ pool for purchase, I adjusted totals etc as if those tickets were available from day 1 (based on the assumption of 98 intial ballot-reserved seats) to avoid the appearance of them being 'sold' in 10+.

Manchester United Away Tickets Sales 'Profile'
at 10:28 30 Jan 2025

The Manchester United Away fixture has sold-out today (15+ Window) and looks like it will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 3000 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran to 3099.

The seat-map suggests 70 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 248 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 188 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2781 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1830 (65.80% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

574 (20.64%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

190 (6.83%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

187 (6.72%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

Points of note:

* This is the first fixture to reach the 15+ window since Wolves (5 sales ago).

* The above is likely the result of a long-distance midweek fixture, coupled with higher than usual number of 'seats available for points-based-purchase' (by about 40-50 seats).

* 30+ was still the highest selling window, but the numbers sold in that window didn't quite grow as strongly as might usually be expected based on recent trends (probably see above reasons).

* The hint of downward trend in 25+ remains, but hard to know how much that's been amplified by 'midweek' reasons, vs upwards migration.

* Decline in 20+ sales continues, probably a combination of 'weekday' and upwards window migration.

* Reaching 15+ will have meant some members stuck on 19 points will have finally made it into 20+, so 20+ may no longer be quite as 'safe' as it was prior to this sale (supply vs demand was pretty much at parity in 20+ window of Villa sale, this may no longer be the case going forwards, especially once the Palace sale has completed).

* Prediction: Trends still suggest it looks like that Crystal Palace (circa 2700 allocation, probably 2450-ish going on points-based-sale) will sell-out at 25+.

Aston Villa Away Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 16:34 15 Jan 2025

Summary:

The Aston Villa Away fixture is a sell-out today (20+ Window), so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below:

The Club announced an allocation of 3000 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at 3003. The seat-map suggests 28 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 260 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 200 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2715 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1785 (66.22% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

713 (25.78%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

217 (7.99%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

Points of note:

* 30+ remains by far the highest selling group with sales slightly ahead of the previous Liverpool sale. Growth in the 30+ sales group not quite as great as previous few fixtures.

* This fixture didn't sell-out quickly in the 20+ window, tickets were available until around 4pm. This suggests supply and demand were pretty much at parity for the 20+ window, indicating there are probably relatively few members in the 20-24 points range (likely less than 300).

* 13 previously 'unavailable' seats in Block Q2 were released for sale just (about 10mins) before the window opened for the 20+ sale, I updated the overall stats to take that into account.

* The number of tickets selling in 25+ remains pretty consistent, but there's a hint of a downward trend.

* I noticed watching a recent Liverpool match on TV that one area of seating in the away end that was unavailable for purchase during our sale, was filled with stewards (probably 30 or so), so I've changed the language around 'club allocation' to include 'or steward seating' and also changed 'retained by the club' to 'unavailable to purchase'.

* Prediction: It looks unlikely that the Crystal Palace (circa 2700 allocation) sale will make it as far as 20+ based on recent trends.

Liverpool Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 10:22 19 Dec 2024

The Liverpool Away fixture is clearly going to sell-out today (day of the 20+ window), so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the Fulham fixture will be as below:

The Club announced an allocation of 3000 tickets had been provided, seat-map count ran at 3052. The seat-map suggests 36 wheelchair + assistant spaces, indicating between 227 and 279 seats retained by the club (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 167-219 for 'Club Allocation').

There were 2737 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1738 (63.5% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

742 (27.11%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

257 (9.39%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

Points of note:

* Shameless self-benefitting plug 1: If anyone hears of, or has, a Liverpool ticket that needs re-homing, I would be a grateful recipient!

* 30+ is by far the highest selling group again, continuous linear growth over the last 3 sales.

* The number of tickets selling in 25+ is pretty stable, suggesting a fairly linear migration through the 20+, 25+, 30+ bands over the past few sales.

* Shameless self-benefitting plug 2: Aston Villa next up on the away sales, another fixture I've not done yet so would be a grateful recipient of a 'spare' for.

* Last three sales have seen per-sale growth of 30+ much higher than earlier in the season, suggests a high-concentration of members started the season on low 20's (12-14 Championship Aways), and started hitting 30+ from Arsenal onwards.

* This is the third sale in a row to sell out at 20+, strongly suggests this is now the norm, if you're stuck on 19 or lower you're probably now out of luck unless we get a high capacity away cup draw.

Liverpool On-Sale tomorrow (Tues, 10am)!
at 12:09 16 Dec 2024

https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2024/december/16/Ticket-details-Liverpool-Ipswich-To

Seems like the amount of 'notice' given on away ticket sales is getting shorter and shorter!

3000 allocation, so around 2750 for sale to points-windows, starting with 30+ at 10am tomorrow.

If anyone becomes aware of a 'spare' ticket, let me know, I'll likely be a grateful recipient!

Liverpool Away still listed as 'Date and Kick Off time subject to change'
at 12:38 9 Dec 2024

Liverpool Away still listed as 'Date and Kick Off time subject to change' on Liverpool's site.

Is that because TV schedules aren't finalised yet (assumed it would be the January batch that's already final), or something to do with potential Champions League fixture congestion, or something else I'm not thinking of?

Fulham Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 09:14 4 Dec 2024

The Fulham Away fixture is clearly going to sell-out today, with only 20 tickets going on sale to the 20+ window, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the Fulham fixture will be as below:

The Club announced an allocation of 2701 tickets had been provided. The seat-map suggests around 44 wheelchair + assistant spaces, indicating 229 seats retained by the club (probable breakdown; 54 for the Ballot, 175 for 'Club Allocation').

There were 2428 seats sold in 'points-based' sales windows.

1608 (66.23% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

800 (32.95%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

20 (0.82%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

Points of note:

* Shameless self-benefiting plug: Liverpool Sale will be next up... Pre-request: If anyone finds they have a surplus ticket...

* 30+ is by far the highest selling group again, eclipsing Arsenal (which itself was a marked step-jump up).

* The lack of tickets making it to 20+ is largely probably due to a less-than-3k allocation, but there's no sign of the trend-bucking jump in top level sales for Arsenal, subsiding.

* This is the second fixture with a high(ish)-allocation to sell-out at 20+. 'First game of the New Year' / ease-of-access influence maybe? This is the second in a row though, so maybe this is now 'normal'.

* Will be interesting to see the Liverpool profile; the 'festive' influence will be gone and although a 'high profile' fixture, it will be our furthest travel to date this season, so maybe numbers will tail off, those in the lower-windows live in hope for now...

Arsenal Tickets Sales 'Profile'
at 10:19 21 Nov 2024

The Arsenal Away fixture is now showing as sold-out (the day of the 20+ window), so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the Arsenal fixture will be as below:

The Club announced an allocation of 3000 tickets had been provided. The seat-map suggests around 27 wheelchair + assistant spaces, indicating 291 seats retained by the club (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 231 for 'Club Allocation').

There were 2658 seats sold in 'points-based' sales windows.

1494 (56.21% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

761 (28.63%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

403 (15.16%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

Points of note:

* Big jump in sales in 30+, most likely due to combination of the popularity of the boxing-boxing-day fixture, members buying immediately in their first available Window to 'make sure' of a ticket for a desirable fixture, plus an amount of band migration.

* This is probably the best indicator we've seen to date to suggest how many members there are in 30+, though inevitably some will still have waited for 25+ before buying or not purchased at all (30+ is still, for the moment, a 'safe-to-pick-and-choose' band).

* This is the first fixture with a high-allocation to sell-out at 20+. Probably due to the Christmas-break fixture popularity. It will be interesting to see if more 'normal' profiles (ie a small number reaching 15+) will resume for Fulham / Liverpool, or if a 20+ sell out becomes the new-normal.

* First actual confirmation that there are already more members in 30+ than there will be Bournemouth Tickets available (it was always going to reach that point eventually, but after this sale we can say with certainty that we're already there).

* The Club avoided a clash of 20+ Arsenal vs Season Ticket Resale Man U, by postponing the Season Ticket Resale until midday.

Arsenal Away - If you're in 25+, but usually wait for the 20+ window...
at 10:20 20 Nov 2024

Arsenal Away - If you're in the 25+ group, but usually wait until the 20+ window to get tickets so you can sit with mates etc, it looks like it might be sensible to buy today anyway.

Just over 500 tickets left as of 10:15, so looks likely demand will outstrip supply in tomorrow's 20+ sale (first time that's happened for a 3k allocation).

Wolverhampton Wanderers Ticket Sales 'Profile'
at 09:58 14 Nov 2024

The Wolverhampton Wanderers Away fixture will clearly sell-out quickly today (the day of the 15+ window opening), so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the Wolves fixture will be as below:

The Club announced an allocation of 3000 tickets had been provided, 254 seats were retained by the Club (probable breakdown; 60 for the Ballot, 194 for 'Club Allocation') and it appears 14 wheelchair spaces.

There were 2730 seats sold in 'points-based' sales windows (actually giving a total allocation of 2998, but near enough!).

1143 (41.87% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

807 (29.56%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

611 (22.38%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

169 (6.19%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

Points of note:

* Shameless self-benefiting plug: If anyone has / hears of a 'spare' ticket for this Wolves fixture, or is planning to miss any post-Christmas away fixture, consider letting me know, I'll be a grateful recipient!

* The 30+ group remains the top-selling group.

* Demand in the 30+ group was the highest so far, the 30+ trend seems to be showing linear growth per match.

* Demand in the 20+ group appears to be showing trend downwards.

* The number of tickets dropping through to 15+ appears to shows an early hint of an upwards trend. If that continues it could suggest the novelty is wearing off for some, or maybe a realisation by some that if you are 20+ or higher, you can (at the moment) fairly safely pick-and-choose without risk of getting locked-out.
