    Am I right in saying that an away team is entitled to 10% of the grounds capacity? We've recieved short of 3000 for arsenal and city only gave 2500 (which we didnt sell out I know). Arsenal I would think would be a very popular game to go to as it is probably the best stadium in the league, so will we be given more? It does say on the OS that 3000 is the total allocation but I dunno whether its for now or if thats our lot.

    I expect it's our lot. With 60k capacity stadia I doubt the rule is 10%. I expect the rule is 2.5k or 10% which ever is the lower number(can't be bothered to look it up). I am impressed with the ticket Price. Well done Arsenal.

    Reading the ticket sales process, how complicated can we make simply buying a ticket?
    Having read the article twice I think I now understand that I am not going to get a ticket because everyone and their dog get a shot before me

    Clubs get round the 10% rule by saying they can't segregate fans sufficiently and/or the local police object.

    It is only 3k, that its the normal allocation for Prem games. The % rule is for FA Cup.

    Saints have said that for home games they have more tkts for home fans because they've cut the allocation for away fans.
