Does anyone know if there is an exact time on Thursday when Burnley will go on sale?

In theory it's 10am... Took them a little while to get it going for the Chelsea game
Thanks. That's a bugger, I'm wanderimg around London in meetings all morning.
Don't think it'll sell out that quick though...
Sold out of season tickets.This is the availability of Burnley for bronze members... how is it possible for there to be availability in nearly all the lower tier blocks which were supposedly sold out??
Exact same as at WHL. There's some seats in each area reserved for members rather than Season Tickets. E.g. there were no STs available in the Park Lane, but you could buy individual match tickets in there.This is the availability of Burnley for bronze members... how is it possible for there to be availability in nearly all the lower tier blocks which were supposedly sold out??
so we couldnt buy a season ticket in the lower tier, but seats were still free?Sold out of season tickets.
They had x amount of season tickets to sell, I'd guess they apportioned them in different parts of the stadium rather than a free for all.so we couldnt buy a season ticket in the lower tier, but seats were still free?
b******s
How can you tell they're not open for sale vs sold out?
This is correct, people didn't seem to fathom this at the time of ST sales. But the club would struggle to sell tix to members if they had to sit in the gods for every game, so (like at White Hart Lane) they offered a set quantity of seats at each level/block/stand/tier and when that was filled it left a percentage of seats available for sale on a match by match basis. Given there is a mark-up on ticket sales over ST prices for the club, it is in their interest to maintain a balance throughout the season and also to allow fans the chance to buy in better positions in the ground.They had x amount of season tickets to sell, I'd guess they apportioned them in different parts of the stadium rather than a free for all.
Fairly easily.
When Season Tickets went up for sale, the backs of the top tiers weren't made available, they were just greyed out. Here you can see what's currently available in the East Stand at Wembley. So as we already know they haven't been sold to Season Ticket holders, one would have to argue that for some reason, all of those grey rows at the back have been sold to member sand general sale, but for some reason the 3-5 rows in front of them haven't been sold, despite the fact it's obviously preferable to be further forward given the scale of the stadium.
In reality it's clear the various grey rows at the back simply haven't been offered for sale and won't/wouldn't be unless 99% of the seats in the rows in front have been sold. We can see that's clearly not the case in the example of block 510 and that is replicated in various other blocks.
Obviously it takes a bit of logic and deduction and like most things in life, until the day of the game (or unless the seats subsequently go up for sale) then there are no guarantees. But it would take a stretch of the imagination (and intelligence), when looking at the below picture, to believe those seats have been sold rather than held back based on demand. I expect it will be the same for pretty much every game this season if we can't sell enough tickets against Chelsea (except if we play well and things are looking tasty by the time of some other big games later in the season).
They load them to your cardHave any bronze members received their match tickets for the Chelsea game? I booked on the first day available but yet to receive them.
That's interesting Lighty, I have to admit, it's not something I've ever thought of, but does make total sense, very socially responsible and inclusive of the club too (although I am sure/hope all clubs do it).with the lower tiers they don't just hold the seats back for all members, they also have seats in the lower sections saved for ambulant disabled supporters, because we aren't all in wheelchairs, we do have difficulty in climbing a lot of stairs.
