As Sheffield United put season tickets on general sale tomorrow (12th June), Plc chairman Kevin McCabe has thanked fans for their "terrific response and support" which has seen 17,500 supporters guarantee their seats for next season.
McCabe praised fans for their dedication and pride in following the team ahead of the eagerly anticipated 2008/09 campaign.
All remaining seats at Bramall Lane will go on general sale from 9am tomorrow (12th June) with the Blades' ticket office remaining open until 7pm.
Interest is expected to remain high with the announcement of the Carling Cup draw on Friday (13th June) and the Championship fixture list released on Monday (June 16) with high profile games against Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Doncaster, Derby, Nottingham Forest and Birmingham.
United sold more than 18,000 season tickets at the start of last season and went on to enjoy the highest average attendance in the whole of the Championship.
Mr McCabe said: "I would like to personally thank every supporter who has purchased a season ticket this summer. The club has been delighted with the terrific response and support our fans have shown since they went on sale.
"I always knew we had the best fans in the country and this emphasises their dedication and pride in the Blades. We are doing everything we can to reward their amazing loyalty by gearing the club towards a successful season that everyone deserves."
Season tickets are available from £359 (adults) and £239 (concessions) right up to the start of the new campaign.
United are also continuing to offer children under 12 a free season ticket when they sign-up as a Junior Blade for £10 and are accompanied by an adult season ticket holder.
Supporters still have a number of great seats at Bramall Lane to choose from and take advantage of the U12s offer, especially in the family enclosure of the Capital One stand
