Are we hosting the Premier League Champions tonight?

[Cappy]

May sound daft but in some ways I’m glad. It’ll guarantee owners are not distracted by temptations to spend on ground modifications. But maybe I’m being blinkered in my views.

 

[Houston_Blade]

We're not going down and we can't win the league, the excitement has completely gone from the season. It's just another mundane Tuesday night against a set of world class footballers. People are voting with their feet

 

[anglian blade]

I find the website really confusing as regards availability. It is taken me a while to work out that both green and red ticks indicate availability.

Also not being able to book until 10 days or so before the game makes any start time requiring an overnight stay difficult or expensive to arrange

 

[Tony]

Still poor, 540 tickets left excluding the family corner.

 

[Tony]

What we need is a 40000 stadium. Then sell the near 30000 season ticket applications, 3000 to away fans and 7000 on general sale. The messing about with ticket selling this season has been a mess.

Unless I missed it we didn't have half season tickets for sale. Another odd decision.

Demand would be too high for the amount of seats they could release and realistically I don't think they could set the prices at a rate which makes it appetising to fans after such a successful start to the campaign.

It might be cold and on TV but blimey I’d have had this as a certain sell out at the start of the season

I'm stuck in Shoreham but I can't hear anyone singing and they all talk funny.

 

[Jason jacobs]

Yes agreed, but my point was more about people who don't support the club or have any contact with regular fans who might want to take in a game.

Yeah I attached a post yesterday,managed to get my rufc fan brother in law and his son a ticket this morning, got them on my family and friends .Both want to see a footie match ,big crowd and noise.whats wrong with that.

Most seats still available are Restricted View.

South stand has sold out now. Surprised the Kop hasn't yet.

Bramall Lane has 80 left +57 RV

John Street has 16 seats left that aren't restricted view but they're all singles so adults can't use them without a child.

Pukka Corner 9 left that aren't restricted view.

There's less than 3-400 remaining, be a good crowd. Hope we get behind them from the off.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Maybe its because were not selling tickets to new fans

 

[mattbianco1]

May sound daft but in some ways I’m glad. It’ll guarantee owners are not distracted by temptations to spend on ground modifications. But maybe I’m being blinkered in my views.

If they could just modify it "a bit" to remove the restricted view seats, that would enable more seats.

Get the poles removed from the Kop. Do something with the walls at the end of the John Street and the Kop that restrict the view the Pukka Corner (worst design ever that quadrant)...

I mean , why are they even allowed to be on sale?!?

If they lowered the wall where it says Pukka Pies, and replaced with railings, that adds a big chunk to available seats too:


These shouldn't cost the earth and will add numbers to attendances easily.

£40, mid-week and on t.v. For anyone who's struggling financially, it's a no brainer. We might be in the PL, playing Man City and are 7th in the league but this is Sheffield and some people don't have that money spare.

£40 is the cheapest adult ticket tonight £46 on the South Stand if you buy online or over the phone.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I have 450 tickets still available at 50 quid if anyone wants one.

 

[MMBUTB]

Loyalty points themselves aren't a bad system, giving first dibs to more committed supporters is fine, the problem is the club won't put left-overs on general sale.

I agree with this 100%. I can’t believe we haven’t enough fans to fill our ground V Man City.

 

[Whiston Blade]

That's what I'm saying, tickets from £40, in my eyes £40 is a lot of money to spend on 90 minutes of football. Throw in fuel for car, parking, a beer and some food for me and my step-son, it soon adds up. Watching on t.v is much more tempting.

 

[guancheblade]

7:30pm kick off made it a non-starter for me as I work in Manchester. Only just made it in time for West Ham KO and that was 8pm.

 

[pesch the mini genius]

£40-£46 quid a adult ticket is absolute nonsense and far too much - gutted we have started to do this

how much will we make if we finish around mid table ? about 100 million at least probably , would it hurt so much to put max of £35 a ticket !

agree about season tickets , need to put more on sale for next season and less on match by match sale

 

[Iceybabey]

They'll be a que at half 7 from the box office right up to cherry St. Blades like to leave it late nearly every single bloody game.

 

[robbiez666]

I can see why the Premier League is trying to keep away fans out of home ends. Makes sense. Limited it to minimal loyalty points. I also know people after tickets tonight and they're all City fans.

If every matchday ticket was £5 less, and the same number of tickets per game were sold, the loss of revenue over the whole season would be the equivalent of one first team players average wage. Just saying like.

 

[Maidenhead]

Nothing odd about it.

We sold out our allowed quota of season tickets before full season tickets went on sale.

Premier League rules require us to have a percentage of seats available for single match purchase and I haven't seen any of the stands being extended since last May, so if we were sold out of season tickets in June then we were still sold out in December.

We're not allowed to sell more season tickets.

If you're worried about match day pricing then you may want to worry about season ticket prices for next year too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them rise to something much nearer the Premier League norm.

I've just seen this and we appear to be not as cheap as I thought although I definitely didn't pay £403 for my sons (adult) ticket so the accuracy of the table is questionable.

 

[Sheffsteel]

For the past two seasons you have needed a membership number.

That wasn’t the case with me....I bought a ticket for an in law who is married to a family member.....for last seasons Millwall home game.
It was his first ever English match...he’s Egyptian but was visiting the UK from Kuwait..

I went to the ticket office myself showed them my season ticket and they sold me a ticket.
Earlier this season I went down for the Southampton match to buy a first time (a Pompey fan) a ticket and was refused.

Not sure if it was the case for Millwall, but the did some season ticket holders bring a friend campaigns towards the end of last season as well.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I know a lad who I used to go to all the Blades matches with and he defected to city in the Adkins years, I've seen him at the lane the last few games. I hope SwissBlade has got someone on the half and half scarf duties tonight in his absence because it's a nailed on sale for you.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

If he had gone to a single game last season you would have had to either register his details or use someone else's details as it was one ticket per number then too.

I'm all for making tickets easier for new or casual supporters to obtain, as evidenced by my many previous posts about growing our supporter base, but continual whinges about so and so that has been going for donkeys years and now can't get tickets are beginning to grind.

If anyone that has been attending games for years and went to a single home game in our promotion season finds themselves unable to get a ticket in the Premier League, then it's their own bloody fault.

No its not , how can you blame fans its the club for putting in place a crazy policy its madness

 

[Dkc]

I was at the ticket office at about 2pm, no one there apart from three Chinese lads, no queues at all

I sit in the John street and it’s been like this almost every game. I think personally it’s a let down. Is this all down to the loyalty points system?

Simple answer is yes

 

[Maidenhead]

Whereas fans going to games knowing that there is a well established loyalty scheme in place but not registering because they maybe "can't be bothered" is not madness?
