STH always have had first shout on tickets. Also although the initial allocation is likely to be 2200, it can be as much as 3600 if demand is high and they will be sold over the phone or online if you can't get to the ticket office.
After reading this bitter nonsense, I might use my plastic season ticket status to get a ticket for the game, even though I wasn't intending on going to the game
I haven't missed a league game home or away this season, doesn't make me a better fan, i'm just lucky enough to be able to do it. I reckon the ballot system would've been appropriate, we will sell this game out easy! Even if it is on Valentines day and a Tuesday night. Plus we haven't played there for around 8 years? Something like that anyway.
