We're on 20,700 now, They havejust opened up the last block in the Canton stand (108/109) online so any groups will be able to book in there. Not much left anywhere else so we will be opening the Ninian upper tier for matchday sales, or earlier if need be.

We're closing tournament ticket sales on Wednesday afternoon and the Kickback Scheme as well.

Get booking up and be part of it all tournament tickets still available for a couple more days at £75 adult and £18.75 concessions to cover all five home games or buy individual tickets at £20 adult and £5 concessions

How much does the stadium hold without the upper 27-28?

So surely there's still a good 5-6thousand to sell before opening the upper? How is it limited?

Well there is the segregation lines and the rumoured 3,000 Bosnia fans to consider

So is the 20,700 figure welsh ticket sales without the Bosnia
Fans?

As far as I know yes,and looking at e ticketing it makes sense

No, the 20,700 includes the Bosnia fans.
The lower tier of the ground holds around 24,000.
There's two blocks 124/123 & 123 in the Family Stand that haven't been sold (due to segregation I assume), so that accounts for 1.5k of the unsold seats.
There are about 1k tickets in block 108/109 of the Canton, which went on sale tonight.
Then there's around 500 Tournament Tickets still to be sold.
So 20,700 sounds about right.

Before expansion the stadium had a 26,800 capacity. It was increased to 28,000 by filling in some corners for the Premeir League season.

I hope that there will be proper segregation. Fed up of going to Wales games and seeing happy clappy opposition fans, in our sections, celebrating their goals.

Never particularly liked the Yugoslavs.

Yes even without the new stand the stadium held 28,000 but the 20700 does include approximately 1700 Bosnians which doesn't make sense but they are the figures and it's very likely the new stand will be open

They seem to have put the three centre blocks of the upper tier on sale now.

Can't get tickets in my basket yet but that may just be me.
