Yep that's correct. I only got mine in there when I saw the rest of the ground was sold out so rang the box office up to get my ST seat but originally we were told that the box office was holding the seats back

Yep, absolute balls up by the club. Like many I panicked when I couldn't get my usual seat and bought elsewhere in the HL when it was selling out. Will be a very busy section by the looks of it!

I presumed that it had already sold out in block E. I also decided to buy my ticket elsewhere as it seemed the game was selling fast. Why didn’t the club communicate that block E seats were reserved for ST holders?

Our 5 season tickets in block E weren't available at the start so we got tickets in F.
Fully intend to stand in our usual spot though on the day.
The fooked it up

Let’s hope these aren’t on general sale and find their way into hands of Hartlepool fans

Odd statement.

What about the 5 people who have bought your usual seats? You'll just squeeze in with them, yes?
