With nearly 29,000 tickets sold, only single seats and a limited number of restricted view tickets together now remain for the second leg of the Capital One Cup Semi Final.

Which is all a bit poor because the ground holds over 32000. The segregation arrangements now cut that down way more than when we were in the Prem.

Other grounds seem to happily house fans closer together with a line of stewards in between, but we need a bloody demilitarized zone. We're playing Spurs not flippin' Millwall.

 

[The Glasshouse Blade]

Enjoyed last night tremendously, hit London at 3.20 then sampled loads of shit real ales mainly around Liverpool Street ten some lovely John Smiths in Hamiltons at Liverpool Street.

This thread, we as fans must surely attack our club about this segregation malarkey, we are leaving about 3,000 seats empty if the thread opening is to be believed, and it is possibly true as against Forest and Charlton there was 1500 empty seats on away end plus sections of the South Stand and John Street, when are we going to campaign against our club about this and get these ridiculous anti human rights stopped.

 

[Jaggy Blade]

No seats at all coming up on the ticket website, despite what the news article says.

Anyone know what time the phone lines open in the morning?

John street and Kop corner are never sold on the tinternet phones should open about 9 good luck

The spurs fans were literally 2 seats away from the Blades last night ,and although some of the 'banter' came close to getting out of hand it made for a great atmosphere and added to the excitement. Full marks to the Tottingham stewards who were great I thought.

 

[brownie4583]

I went online to buy a Spurs ticket for the South Stand but there were none left,so ended up buying 1 for the kop but there were only a few single seats left

 

[sheffielder]

Can't be just be just me who thought we surely should have sold out a few weeks ago? Surprised there were tickets left.

 

[S64 Blade]

We're never ones for selling out home games early. Too laid back us Blades...

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Can't be just be just me who thought we surely should have sold out a few weeks ago? Surprised there were tickets left.

I know a few who were waiting to see if we were still in it after the 1st leg. Given that they are 2 divisions above us that seems fair enough to me.

Had we not played so well last night the 2nd leg could easily have been a non-event.

 

[Jaggy Blade]

Been on hold now for 45 mins.

Still number 14 in the queue.

 

[Rusty view]

Following a change in plans I can now go. Went down earlier rather than ringing. Stead queue outside tkt office.

Usually phone but it was 45mins to get from 7 in the queue the other week.

Appreciate some aren't within striking distance of 'the lane.

Only restricted view on Kop, they put me on family stand on my own. Technically I have family that sit on there tho

What! is he resigning for us and many are wanting his autograph?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Ridiculous if the attendance on Wednesday doesn't start with a 3.

 

[Rusty view]

Yep, he said now we're signing Brayford he wants to be part of the Game Changing Revolution

 

[boo radley]

If you go to on line ticket sales it only says SSF4 and SSB4 are available but then you go to either and I cannot find a seat. so to me that means it is a sell out as far as we are allowed to.

Be aware chaps and chapesses,I was on hold for 55mins yesterday and I checked this morning-the call cost me 17(yes 17!!!) squid!!!

It was like that early yesterday morning, then later the Kop appeared on the drop down menu with seats available. That was 24 hours ago though.

It's one thing to expect to pay for the call, but that's just outrageous. That could have been me yesterday morning, but I couldn't even get in the queue and got the message to try again later, by which time, online was working. Good luck with the e-mail.,

 

[Newbury Blade]

Not a great time for me to try to get my refund for Scunthorpe, then.

 

[OllyBlade]

Announced as a sell-out now. Sweet.

 

[Grecian2000]

Depends if you've been on the phone for 1 hour 52 minutes (in a queue of 20) to be told they sold out an hour ago! Good job it wasn't for me although I'll cop for the outrageous call charges.

Cunts if you ask me.

 

[Jon Bon]

Worth checking with the club for returns I would have thought. I'll be returning my kop ticket later on today. Can't sell it to anyone physically as it's only activated on my membership card.

My sentiments exactly - who is making these decisions.
Whilst it isn't a problem in league games, for this one it is actually costing the club money.

Whilst on the ground situation, the "family stand" issue needs sorting - whilst ok in the Prem, it's an issue in these types of games where the club needs more good quality seats for such games.

Anyone who is taller than 6 foot tall has a problem sitting on the kop - we are on the kop for Spurs next week and I am not actually looking forward to being uncomfortable - just have to hope we get 4 nil up and I can stand up for most of the game !

I think there will be a few returns, heard of a few Spurs having their home end tickets being rescinded. Your TO has been liasing with ours to cross-check addresses/data bases etc.

You could be right - have heard of a few Spurs have booked tickets in our G & H blocks.

Now, as a club you may have some pretty hard "boys" - but if they are in G or H blocks, they WILL get a right kicking.
It is where a lot of our big game idiots go for banter with the opposition fans, but if away fans are found, there won't be any messing around.

Just sensible advice more than anything.

Cheers.

I managed to pick up an away ticket when the extra 1500 were given to us. No probs.

Same happened when we played at Chesterfield earlier in the season. I still wonder about the data protection issue there - should 2 football clubs be allowed to share people's information like that? (unless we've all given permission somewhere along the line in small print).

They'll be alright as long as they sit next to SwissBlade with their half and half scarves on

OB probably have a say in it. I know 'norvern yids' that had tickets rescinded so it wasn't just a case of having a southern address, they must have checked Spurs database to see if they had a buying history.
