Why no Stoke ticket sales?

Yeah, it is frustrating that no tickets are on sale at all especially with the print at home situation. I'm not the most organised person so I have to try and actively plan anything I do and getting stuff sorted last minute really irks me.  For away games it is especially a problem as the planning becomes much more of a problem and for the Hull game it was an actual nightmare getting the tickets sorted. I think what I find more weird is that the club are just throwing money down the drain... logically the longer tickets are on sale and the better promoted the games are the more they'll manage to sell. 

In actual fact you can gain entry with your phone. My son did it v Forest. They’re just not encouraging it, probably due to people struggling or bringing an IPad instead of a phone.

Sale or return not pay up front and Derby should have tickets four weeks before fixtures (if we’ve bothered to order them at least five weeks before as rules state):

 

34.3.2 Clubs are required to sell tickets for their away matches if required to do so by the Home Club and similarly Home Clubs are required to supply tickets for their Home Matches to the Away Club for sale by the Away Club to its supporters if so requested by the Away Club. These tickets are to be made available on a sale or return basis and must be ordered by the Away Club at least five weeks before the League Match to which they relate. The Home Club must deliver those tickets to the Away Club at the latest four weeks before the League Match to which they relate. Where any match is arranged at shorter notice the above steps shall be taken as soon as is reasonably practicable. Visiting Supporters should also have the same opportunity to take advantage of pre-booking discounts that apply to home supporters.

34.3.3  For League Matches only, the Away Club shall be entitled to a commission representing 5 (five) per cent of the aggregate sales (exclusive of VAT) of tickets sold on behalf of the Home Club, unless otherwise agreed between the Clubs. The Away Club shall submit a VAT invoice, in respect of the commission due, to the Home Club within five working days of the date of the match taking place.

So the often quoted "rule" that the away team has to pay for all tickets ordered, whether they're sold or not, isn't correct?

I think that's cup competitions.

Maybe. I've seen it quoted so many times i/r of league games though that I took it as a fact.
