All seats are situated in the Milton End (Blocks P and Q), with good availability at the time of writing in both sections. Barnsley were initially handed 1,678 tickets for the game, but have clearly failed to sell their allocation.

That, however, represents good news for Blues fans who looked set to miss out on a key game in Pompey’s pursuit of the League One title. Until today’s announcement, all remaining games - both home and away - were sold out, although details of the final game of the season at Lincoln is still to be announced.

John Mousinho’s side sit five points clear of the League One table with just seven games remaining. At present, the Blues require 14 points to win clinch the league title and 13 points to secure automatic promotion. Meanwhile, a win at Wycombe on Friday will ensure a top-six finish for the team.

The Barnsley game is Pompey's third from last game of the season. There is a real chance that, depending on upcoming games, both automatic promotion or the League title could be secured at Fratton Park that night.
