The Club are delighted to announce that this weekend's Barclays Premier League game against Hull City has now sold out.
The final few tickets were snapped up this morning meaning the Potters will once again be backed by a bumper crowd at the Britannia Stadium.
Announcing the news, a delighted Chief Executive Tony Scholes said:
"It is fantastic that we have again sold all of our tickets for this weekend's game against Hull. Article continues Advertisement
"The supporters have been outstanding so far this season, especially at home, and with them right behind the team again on Saturday we are all hoping we can pick up another three points."
If you didn't manage to get a ticket for the game, then don't worry as stokecityfc.com is the next best place to be on Saturday afternoon.
We'll have all the team news direct from the management just after two o'clock with a minute-by-minute update available from the kick off and a full match report available just after the final whistle.
Nigel Johnson and the boys will also present live match commentary on Stoke City World, with coverage getting underway from 2.30pm.

So, so far this season we've played
Villa - Sell out Everton (on sky) 85 below sell out, but think that was down to everton and not us Chelsea (on sky)- Sell out Spurs (on sky) sell out Sunderland - 769 below sell out - Cold Wednesday night, did they sell there allocation? Arsenal - 794 bellow sell out - Surprise really, people might have been put off by multi game prices WBA - 885 bellow sell out - again surprising Hull - Sell out - but can imagine there been empty seats, as some ONLY brought Hull tickets so they could go Arsenal

I dont know about that monkey
If you think, they only get 2,800 tickets. so 800 empty seats in that section would be quite noticeable although, it was a poor turnout, i don't think it was that bad. but I couldn't possibly say for definite

i thought they used different parts of the ground, for the catering staff and turnstyle operators?

I think our Chief Executive needs a well deserved pat on the back for a change.
This multi-ticket malarky seems to be working a treat.
Plus the free coach to the Blackburn game offer.
Well done Stoke.

yep, there were indeed empty seats in the away end against sunderland, arsenal and surprisingly, west brom. i think there may have been slightly more than 2300 against the baggies though - maybe more like 2500. arsenal was probably about 2600 and sunderland 2300-2400.

Radio Stoke said there were 300 tickets left on friday dinner,for the west brom match,so most of the shortfall must be down to the baggies.
