Wish we had the Blades as we wouldnt of had this fuck up...but with only 1800, i suppose its to be expected.
Only wings of DRS left and last seat for Brentford went in front of me.
Anyway....i got all my tickets now at great sacrifice so just wait for the Town to let me down now!!

The club won't make anything from the aways.
Why won't the club make anything from the away tickets? Unless it's changed I understood that the four clubs get something from each game, which is why financially it is (or was!) better financially to get in the play-offs! |

A total balls-ache but managed to get a ticket for the away leg. Drove 40 miles to the CG, joined the queue at 9-30 and got served at 13-40, by which time only a few terrace tickets were left. Felt sorry for those still outside who had queued for a few hours too! Drove the 40 miles back home, relieved but wondering how it could have been done any better (or fairer) when there were only 1800 tickets available. By the way, I have been to every home game and 18 away games this season.

Ahh fair enough may be we do, not sure on how the gates get split over a 2 legged semi final. Ordinarily we just take a nominal percentage (about 5% i think?) to sell away tickets on behalf of the home club though. |

This is correct and still current. It's section 5 of the play off rules. Everything from all the games is pooled up and then split out accordingly. Swindon will essentially get 12.5% of all income from all 4 play off semi final games, and 25% from the final should we make it that far. 5.4.1 50% of the Net Gate Receipts shall be paid into the Pool Account referred to in Article 65; and 5.4.2 the remaining 50% of the Net Gate Receipts shall be aggregated, Division by Division, and each Division's aggregated monies shall be shared equally amongst the four Clubs taking part in that Division's Play-Off matches http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20110629/npower-football-league-play-off-rules_2293633_2358924 |

There were around 100 or so in the queue when I left. |

Not sure, lots of people had apparently given up well before. Also there were plenty just there to get home tickets. |

Queuing up for hours to get home tickets even though the game probably won't even sell-out? |
