away games , demand will be high if we are doing OK for all games, however of we aren't it will only be high for the big and local games . you shouldn't have a problem at the likes of Blackburn and Wigan , probably newcastle as well
Home games , there are approx 7000 tickets on sale for home games after you take into account eason tickets and away fans , these are on sale about 2-3 weeks in advance keep an eye on the official website ticket section , you may find some games aren't sold to people who are not already on the clubs computer system to stop away fans buying in home ends

ring up the ticket office, get registered on the system and a customer number, then you can use the online ticket facility (assuming its working) , get the ID card done asap , they take a few weeks to come through

The Boothen, but its about 99% season ticket holders, so try the south stand next to the away fans , or the JSL blocks 11 and 12

Aways...
As said all need an ID card.Then priority system, though the clubs total failure to keep accurate records last season has created a mess.
Currently working as those that went 10 aways last season who are ST's became known as the Col U 10 , now the bolton 10 ) , then ST holders, then general sale...would expect as the season progresses and people build up their history that additional priority levels will be added when /if needed
Man City 25th Oct Big demand likely..also likely to see Stoke's warmest reception of the season .Be surprised if tickets reach general sale...if they reach general sale you'll need to be quick...
Man U Nov 15 - Demand speaks for itself..Though enough away games in the interim for Stoke to put in place at least one additional level of priority to the colU/Bolton10 ( if they're still using that ) - 6 including 3 unattractives at Mboro , Portsmouth and Wigan , so no excuses for the admin of our club if they don't IMHO...
Newcastle 6th Dec - Additional levels of priority may well be in by then, but unless we're playing out of our skins having played in the cup last season, poor view, demand will be low...tickets will be slow to move,very surprised if tickets don't reach general sale or indeed if we sell out.
Blackburn Dec 20
Stoke have taken healthy followings to Blackburn in the past , but right before Chrimbo and league form could mean followings have started to tail off....doubtful we'll be applying for the full 7,000 that Rovs allow the llikes of Liverpool and Man U..would expect tickets to move comfortably to general sale with no previous away record required ( after priorites)
Villa Feb 28
Long way away..league form may have killed our followings, but would expect Stoke to turnout for this one...
All are guesstimates based on perceived league form etc

Away cards are taking up to 8 weeks to process mate.
5 weeks ago I applied for one for my 5 year old. Yesterday it came back rejected due to me making a mistake on the application form. Ok that's my fault, but the guy at the ticket office who I gave it to () I didn't post it) accepted it ok!
I phoned 'em up before I went up to Bolton and they said I had to correct the form and send it back. I asked how long it would take and the girl says up to 8 weeks again.
Here's the best bit - she said to put a note on it and they could phone "the woman who does them" to look out for it as it was part-processed.
Now, I know they send them off to someone in manchester/birmingham to process them - but I expected there to be more than one person doing them! No wonder they're taking so bloody long.
This needs sorting now. Get some temps in an clear the backlog.
I'm pretty gutted coz it means none of us can go to away games now until my kids card comes through. Well, we can - by sitting with the home supporters and giving our money to the other club.
While I understand the reason for away cards originally, why the fuck do little kids need 'em! Especially when they're been season ticket holders for two seasons.

stokiebloke - you give your money to the other club whther you sit in the home or the away end. In league games the home club gets all the takings. It is only in cup games that the takings are split.

I thought that originally Becks. But I'm sure I read somewhere (FF minutes?) that it is ST holders nearest the opposition fans with a block of a few hundred pay on the day seats to the outside.
