No argument with it selling out. But people reporting they had tix in the basket before the sale started (even though they shouldn't have access), I couldn't see the sale till 3.02pm, not showing sold out for over an hour even though no tickets can be basketed. Feels a bit suss. I don't mean the club, I mean someone has worked out an in like with the GA sale before.
it's nothing particularly nefarious, but basically if you have the link ready before the sale you are at an advantage because often the match doesn't even appear on the homepage for 5-10 minutes.
so basically people on the guaranteed 3+ would've probably told their 2+ mates the link.
lots of people are travelling - and lots of people are either sorting mates and/or swapping for other upcoming matches.
