Playoff tickets, First Leg

[S64 Blade]

The concourse might be a problem but other clubs manage to segregate fans with two lines of stewards and police in the concourse.

Even Celtic and Rangers where the potential for trouble is a 100x greater than what it is for a game between us and Forest

It's looking more and more like the club has done this because they didn't understand the ticketing rules, being as amateur as they always are.

And before a ball is kicked they've pissed our own fans off, and ensured that at least 3,000 of our regular EVERY WEEK fans won't be able to attend.

Getting to Wembley will be the usual joke with regards tickets. Our opponents will sell theirs and ask for more, sell them and ask for more

And we'll still be fucking about with those on 30,000 + loyalty points two days before the game leaving nobody any time to make plans.

And all this when almost double the amount of tickets than we've got loyalty points holders could be available.

It's about time those that made the rules for ticket distribution at the Lane were fired

Agree on if we get to Wembley. No need to mess about with banding points too much at all, given we’ll get about 40,000 tickets.

Just have day 1 - season ticket holders
Day 2 - members
Day 3 - general sale

If there are going to be 2 blocks on Bramall Lane Lower Tier empty I'd be tempted to rip them out and replace them with those sky blue three-wheelers we used to see in the 70's and 80's.

 

[reedy63]

I don,t understand why 2 sections on Bramall Lane lower will not be sold. nowhere near the florist fans.

 

[Uncle mick]

Bit of a shitshow, it doesn't look like the Westfield Corner is available for home fans (but strangely part of the lower tier is) so anyone with a ST in the Westfield can't sit in their own seats.

Sorry in advance to whoever's ST seat I've just bought in the South Stand but there's nothing I could've done to avoid it.

You scabby b-----d

Wonder whether it’s because those blocks are behind where the disabled enclosure for visiting fans is?

If that is the reason why we’ve prevented ourselves from using yet more of our own ground, it would just about put the tin lid on what a joke the club’s organisation is.

 

[reedy63]

The person who agreed to let florest fans the upper and corner in Bramall Lane stand. then let florest charge more and a lot less than florest fans are getting.
What a bleeding numpty.

They might be sold if we sell the other two blocks. Still a few left in there

 

[LS16Blade]

There are 143 tickets left now - excluding the 40 odd in the Family Corner because, frankly, they’ve got a nerve charging people to look at a wall.

Having already deprived ourselves of 2,000+ seats in the Westfield/Upper tier, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with the unreleased blocks in the lower tier.

Are we really going to leave another 800 or so seats go to waste?

 

[dn5 shaun]

We didn't need it this time.

1. Lessons learned, never in a million years
2. Sit down, he would but someone's already got his seat as forest directors have got our directors box. Our directors will have to sit in bllt

 

[Le Cynique]

I've got a problem, in that my customer number is no longer recognised from my season ticket (granted, I had it a long time ago) so it won't let me buy a ticket. Anyone have any ideas about how I might be able to get around it?

I'd just phone up, there's not many left and might be sold out by the time you get the website sorted.

Thanks Wilf, I can't get through though

Done. Fingers crossed, otherwise I might be coming to Sheffield to just watch it in a pub

BL3 has now just opened up online hundreds more tickets now available in BLLT.

 

[bartman]

sell BL3 and the last one will be open. Be good to have fans behind both goals

Maybe that was the logic all along. I know it's a shitter view but it's far better having your own fans pitch side on all 4 sides

 

[S64 Blade]

You can make eye contact with an away fan there, as it sticks out slightly from the rest of the lower tier.

Can’t be having any of that now.

 

[blackydog]

Should have given all season ticket holders in upper tier a 50% discount and give them a guaranteed window to get seats

Don't think you can buy STs in the Upper Tier??

 

[Panini]

You scabby b-----d

Joking?

 

[Uncle mick]

Joking?

Yes

 

[reedy63]

Another section in Bramall Lane Lower opened up, around a couple of hundred in there.
Not many tickets left in the rest of the ground for Blades Fans.

Sander's brother was in the Executive area on Saturday.

At 6 foot and a gas lamp he'll be royally fucked if he has sit in the peasant stands. The JS stand seats near the Kop appear to have been designed for midgets. It's an incredible piece of architecture to build such a stand where the leg room gets smaller as you move from the BL end of the stand to the other.

As for Sander's brother, his lady friend is free to share my seat for Forest if she's struggling

 

[Davalon]

BL3 has now just opened up online hundreds more tickets now available in BLLT.

Good to hear at least

 

[Sean Thornton]

Looks like more than 24000 going to be there then?

Last time I was sat there we had to do this so that we didn't cause a riot

 

[Bladesman]

When the Westfield corner was built , the BLUT concourse was fitted with a series of security doors so that it could be segregated at various points depending on the size of the away following - the Westfield itself can't be given to away fans because it empties directly into the South Stand before disgorging into Bramall Lane.

Disgorging, I like that word and I want to use it more often.

 

[ShropsBlade]

Hopefully sell out then.I’m not one to bash the club or ownership at every opportunity.But getting a ticket on the website was a nightmare.I give up in the end and spent 50 minutes on the phone , all sorted now though.

Not a fishing fanatic then, as you can be disgorging them on a regular basis if the conditions are favourable

I was very drunk on Saturday afternoon. I had to queue for 25 mintues on my mobile but I just checked a couple of times to make sure where I was in the queue. And then I picked my seats and paid quickly. Overall, it was still quicker than getting served in Champs. Just for balance.
