Will we sell out?

[Not so Slim ane]

We've sold just over 22,000 apparently...the whole booking system has been a massive hoax

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

So, can anyone summarise, are there going to be random whole blocks of unsold Sheff United seats everywhere, covered in black netting, or is it just the odds and sods unsold singles dotted about the place?

I think block 526 is the only one we haven't put on sale that we got allocated.

And no colours!

Club Wembley operates a smart casual dress code with some exceptions. While not officially mandated, shorts, jeans, ripped denim, sports trainers, and flip-flops are generally discouraged. Replica club shirts or club colors are also not permitted for club matchdays.

I had to go out to Primark and buy an XL white shirt to go over my Blades shirt, I wasn't taking a chance, At full time I wished I hadn't bothered

At phase 5 does everybody stand up?

Yes, and do the hokey cokey..

 

[Selly]

What impact does the’geography’ have?

It absolutely has an impact if you don`t want to sit in the (theoretical) sun for 90/120 mins

surely you only “panic” when theres next to no availability (not happened yet)

On several occasions last week there was barely any availability as blocks hadn`t been opened up. For those not following this as closely as people in this and the other thread I can absolutely see why people would see most blocks "greyed out" and panic thinking that there might not be any more tickets.

That's what happened to me and many more. I went to the ticket office yesterday and managed to get two separate seats together but the other three are still separate from the two. Very frustrating.

As widely predicted on PorkTalk, finger on the pulse as always

You couldn't buy new tickets yesterday together? Surprised.

Yes, and do the hokey cokey..

Last time I did that I misunderstood the in out shake it all about part.

Last time I did the hokey cokey at a football match I got arrested by the Midlands fun police.

Brave trying. Standing up is a risk.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I am afraid I will not be with you at Wembley.

I am away at the weekend on a trip to Dunkirk. Hope to find a sports bar and television to watch the action. If not follow on Blades player.

COYRAWW!

I think all blocks that have not sold out are open according to the stadium map on the Sheffield United website.
Some blocks have quite a few seats together, and some have a few single tickets. An hour ago, I counted the total
available tickets as 350. That means over 35K sold. If you can't afford it, don't have wages yet, etc, ask a family member/friend.
To borrow some money until you get paid., That's what I did and got my ticket. As long as you pay back, it's alreght int it.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Email tickets on the way out in order of loyalty points x S2 likes / number of times slagged Wilder

Shoutbox + members tickets must be collected in person from the new Shutter Island office at Bramall Lane.

 

[Sean Thornton]

So. We’ve sold over 30000 then?


All that time one person keeping 5000 tickets in his basket all the time was in vain then?

 

[Oreyt]

Have you been mis-sold tickets, had your time wasted by your football club, spent hours waiting for a block to open that you didn't want to sit in anyway?

If the answer is yes, JJ Reclaim is here to get you the recompense you deserve.

We operate on a no win basis and only take 75% of the compensation you won't receive.

Can you forward their telephone number to me so I can arrange a loan

It's all digital mate, you'd need a customer number and a history of at least attending a game this season, they'll be gone within 30 mins I'd wager.

Wonder if that's a block at the South (527/526) or some club Wembley ones

Dunno mate, I just saw it on the Sunderland message boards.

 

[FriethBlade]

Every ST holder will know someone that would like to go who doesn't have the points/membership or not even a Blade, I've been asked by half a dozen people.
Those tickets would go and about 5 or 6 thousand ST holders wouldn't get a sniff. That's never reyt.

Disagree, allowing season ticket holders to buy up to 4 would have largely resulted in season ticket holder A buying tickets for season ticket holders B, C and D so they can sit together and not season ticket holders A, B, C and D all buying 4 each. There would have alao been season ticket holders buying tickets for none season ticket holders who were members or have 15k points etc to sit together. Those people would have bought tickets anyway.

Ultimately the uncomfortable truth is we don't have the fans to totally fill out Bramall Lane ( see Burnley on Boxing Day') except for when we play Wednesday and we don't have the fans to sell out a full allocation at Wembley. If we did there wouldn't still be tickets available.

The ticketing policy doesn't help but it is what it is and i don't care. We are going to take low 30s to Wembley and given past disappointments that's not a bad following.

 

[Stevo71]

Just got an email from the club almost begging me to buy a ticket. Then I see that there's a £2 booking fee. When I give a homeless tramp, sat outside Greggs, a couple of quid to get a pasty, I then don't expect him to come back at me for another 50p surcharge.

They're not homeless they're just scrounging feckers.

I can remember when Sean Thornton played for us way back in the Mcarthy era, was absolutely brilliant when he was at it, unfortunately he was at it more in the bars of the Northeast.

Think Sunderland have got 526 now

We’re so out of date, they’re actually for the Milleniun Stadium in Cardiff!
