It's the last derby for a long time unless we draw em in't cup ,you'd think they'd want to make the most of it.

Seasons tickets in the corner bit but not the BLUT. However It’s simply supply and demand. Why would we give Wednesday a couple of blocks knowing it would stop a few 1000 Blades from attending. You don’t bite off the hand that feeds you stopping home fans from acquiring home tickets.

If and when we expand the South stand and Kop taking capacity up to 42,000 then you can bet Wednesday will get about 7,000 tickets. There’s no way McCabe would restrict it down to 4K just because they give us 4,000.

Yeah, if we can sell to our own, they should get first dibs obviously.

Just saying I can't really see it changing even if we manage to go up, the Westfield Corner and BLUT are pretty popular now with our own fans and if we did go up touch wood and all that, we'd have even more demand, unless there's some guidelines I don't know about for away fan ticket availability.

Can't you get season tickets up there and in the Westfield corner? I'm almost certain about the Corner, puts paid to any idea of giving them it really, maybe a couple of blocks near the business centre with some segregation but Westfield Corner STs has pretty much guaranteed BLUT for Blades now.

Im a ST in corner

There's always one isn't there, so keen to slag United fans off

There was 30,261 at the Lane, that's with the first 6 rows in the upper tier left empty, the bottom sections linking John Street to Bramall Lane empty, the bottom section of the Cherry Street stand closest to Bramall lane left empty and Wednesday's support limited to 2,100 or so on a lower tier that holds 2,900

Who has slagged United fans off ?
 
Hoping I can bag one tomorrow. Getting the 52 bus down, if successful, after the shambles on the tram last year.
 
Well how things have changed - anyone else remember the Wendy fans jeering after the attendance was announced at The Lane last November?
 
It’s still not right though is it. SWFC are still openly discriminating against a particular fanbase which should be challenged by our club. SAG and the Police have denied the ticket restrictions are down to them.

Well stop talking garbage then about it not being a sell out
If SAG and SYP and both clubs deem that the capacity for the game should be 17 on safety grounds and we sell 17 tickets it's a bleeding sell out regardless.

Did you really expect 32,609 to be there because that's what the stadium holds ?
 
Our core of support is up there with the best


Like you mentioned previously 22k to watch dross for 25 years takes some commitment. I can’t praise them enough


Just got 20k others who need a bit of a nudge - some a slightly bigger nudge than others

Hahahahaha is this knob saying they could pull 42,000 on a regular basis? ...............................OK! when was the last time they averaged 30k ? ......................1966 I believe.
 
I don’t know why this has come about, but it’s probably nothing to do with anything on here. I thanked Danny for publishing this article but at the end of the day, he just did his day to day job, maybe after a lot of pestering. A credible local journalist should have been all over this anyway.

Football fans shouldn’t have to beg for tickets in an empty stand like this, it’s a sad situation.

The away allocation ruling in the PL is a minimum 3000 tickets or 10% of your capacity, which ever is lower.
If we go up then surely it will be exactly the same as when we were last here.
In that 2007 season our lower tier officially held 2,990 and the PL accepted it, even tho it was 10 short.

My point was if we increased the capacity to 42,000 as planned (altho the ownership in fighting might change this) then I would expect us to possibly give away teams both tiers plus some of the corner bit, which would be 7,000 seats.
 

If there are still over 1,000 empty seats in the upper tier, then why are these extra 1,000 tickets in the lower tier?

I asked you who was slagging United fans off . The post you refer to didn't as it was a post in response to another comment.

The game wasn't a sell out. The club never announced it was a sell out as all available tickets weren't sold. Not many seats spare but it wasn't a sell out. I didn't comment how many fans I expected to be there or criticise the fans for not selling out. There have been derby matches at both grounds over the last 30 years where all available tickets weren't sold.
I didn't even slag the pigs for potentially not selling out on Monday.

There are reasons these games aren't selling out e.g. prices,tv,kick off dates and times, ticket selling restrictions and so on. But no criticism of fans from either club has been posted or implied.
 
I’m not going because I’ve never seen us win there. I’ll happily let you all see us win if I’m not there (superstition I guess).

I’ve got circa 33k points. I haven’t got a season ticket or membership this season so my points are actually scratched off to zero. Hardly fair really but is what it is (why do I need a ST for points to count anyway??). I still wouldn’t be able to get one if I did want one. We’ve had phones buzzing all week with people ringing for customer numbers with points on them. Someone’s on holiday so we can use that one. Other person hates the Wednesday bastards so he’s not going, have his. That person gets points without going but this is becoming the norm and a side-point anyway.

Just promise me you’ll bellow the place down and go home with sore throats.

Ok, I misunderstood your original post as a veiled dig at United fans

Sorry about that
But most games aren't sold out totally, ie, every single seat filled, even at Man Utd
If they were they'd have exactly the same attendance every week

There are a few absolutely horrendous seats at our stadium that even a blind person wouldn't buy

United's attendance for the home game was as close to a sell out as is possible with the number of perfectly good seats that we're deliberately left empty

I believe it was a sell out then the club started releasing blocks of restricted view tickets a bit at a time.
Agree, most of the restricted view were sold but I think they were about 20 virtually “no view” tickets not sold.
So strictly speaking it wasn’t a sell out but agree total sell outs are quite rare, although last years derby DID completely sell out.

You need a season ticket because season ticket holders get priority, this has been the case since the dawn of time.

All the points I’ve accrued over the years are meaningless at the minute. Memberships are £30(???) so think I’ll get one of them. Although I’m waaaaaay down the pecking order for tickets. If I get them then good. If not, I don’t.

I'm on 15k. Might as well have none when it comes to games like this!

Don't worry

Agree with your sentiments entirely. I don't think the way we sold the tickets helped ( 500 points required) and the pricing for these games is high especially if you want to take family members with you
 

Do you think we'll get another tranche of tickets at 7pm on Monday?
