No, neither has Fulham which is now 13 days away.
I know they were waiting on a confirmed date for the Chelsea game (not that that will affect the supply of tickets but nevermind...) what was their excuse for Fulham?

Fulham 409 points.

Fuck off.

Maybe the Supporters Trust need to be asking questions. The allocation is 2,711 tickets. Only 2150 have more than 400 points. Add in Corprate tickets (13%) of allocation. Something doesn’t add up

I notice the corporate share has gone up from 7% aswell.

Can't wait to see all the Fulham away tickets floating about on Friday...

It seems about right. 2,711 allocation means 2,359 after the corporates are taken out. Any tickets for friends/families of players etc plus segregation lines comes out of it too, so it's likely around 2,150. Then consider that it's gone down to 389 when you include the restricted view seats, and that the table is more than a month out of date (most people with that many to begin with will have since got 4 for Cardiff, 3 for Everton, and a few for home match attendance at Wembley added) and it makes sense. Effectively around 90% of those eligible for a ticket took one and for a cheap match, with minimal transport cost, at a ground that's great for away fans, with a good kick-off time and against a team who likely won't be in the league again next season, it's exactly what you'd expect given these people must do far more arduous away trips to get the points in the first place.

2,127 with 400+

Something fishy going on.I blame Mace and Levy

I get Saoirse's points but I still find it hard to believe everyone is applying. Half of them are dead and the other half are in someone elses names!!!

The "dead season ticket holder" problem would be pretty easy to solve. Once someone hits e.g. 70 or 80 years old, get a steward to check there's an old bloke in the seat at a couple of home games. If there doesn't appear to be, ask the ST Holder for ID. The question is whether the club really wants to or not - I think giving your ST to someone else once you're very elderly or passed away rather than giving it up must be pretty common.

Apparently those who got premium seats in the new stadium, get priority window for away tickets now. You can have zero loyalty points and still get away tickets.

Anyone verify this?

That’s what I was told when I enquired about a premium ticket. However premium tickets are up to a maximum of 13% of the away allocation.
