surely north stand 3rd tier not first?

what do they do with all the single seats? there must be loads and they must be pretty hard to shift. can't recall ever seeing an offer for a discount on single seats in the last day or two. do they sell tickets on the day at the collections office or is it for collections only?

They probably have a way of selling tickets so that there aren't too many single tickets left. Putting parties of 3 next betwen 2 parties of 2 etc.

but 6-7K tickets are still available apparently, despite there being very few places that you can get 2 or more together!

that would suggest that there are at least a few singles! better to sell them for a tenner on the day than have them empty i'd say!

People will still buy single tickets as long as they're reasonably close together, no doubt at all.

I have bought a ticket (albeit very cheaply) for the north stand upper tier and I am near my mate but not next to him but hes an ugly get so its reet

Not necessarily - it could be that cheaper tickets are more in demand than the pricey (if better) tickets.
