Well, they've employed a fairly effective system for the big four games at the emirates this season, setting aside a certain number of tickets for reds and then selling them on a first-come-first-served basis. Couldn't they have done the same here?

Of course season ticket holders and away scheme members should have priority..... but would it really have hurt the club to allocate, say, 500 or 1000 tickets to silvers and reds? Really?
