Play off attendances and Wembs

[Champagneblade]

Don't give the upper tier to the away team in the 2nd leg

Sell Wembley tickets as if we'll struggle to sell 30,000 - because we will. No unnecessary delays and restrictions

Facilitate the gathering of like minded fans behind the goal at Wembley who want to create an atmosphere

Give season ticket holders a few days and allow them to buy as many as they want and then general sale within a few days.

Looking at now going into the play offs, what are people's opinions on the attendance? If the apathy continues will we sell out the home leg? Also will it be another farce with the BLUT like v Forest?

IF we get to Wembs can the club please have a sensible policy so that people can sit together ie straight away sell to ticket holders not the loyalty points

I don't think wembley tickets will be an issue

We need to opt out of the playoffs this year

There are tickets still available to buy in the Manchester City end at Wembley on Sunday. It is even possible for supporters to buy four seats at a time, although that might not be advisable with many priced at £90, £120 and £150 each.

See how they price POF. Anything close would still be obscene.

It's yet another issue with having the semi-finals at Wembley. Clubs like Man City who are there every year and then usually in at least one final there, has meant the 'big day out' novelty of going to Wembley has worn off and it's just a very expensive day out, amidst everything else.

Man City could do (and probably have had) 4 trips a season there.

Even for us Blades, we average a trip there every 4/5 years. It's not really a big deal now, visiting that stadium.

They should move the FA cup semi-finals elsewhere. Cardiff would be a decent shout as a neutral ground, if the Welsh FA would entertain it and then a stadium in the North of England.

I had a look at Luton play off tickets from a couple of years ago. £36 cheapest and £98 most expensive.

Supporters on their database could buy up to 4 each.

If we get there, Season tickets and loyalty points holders should get priority
Anyone with 100 loyalty points or more can buy two tickets, first come first served.

This means almost anyone can buy two tickets immediately and other friends can buy two seats next to them and so on and so on until they're gone.
But we won't do that, we'll have to go through the same process as we always do and end up not selling them all.

60,000+ loyalty points for the first week, half the people with 60,000 loyalty points will be waiting until their family and friends with 50,000 points can buy, half of those with 50,000 wait around until family and friends with 40,000 are allowed to buy, half of those with 40,000 waiting for those with 30,000 are able to buy.

And this continues all the way down to general sale, by which time half the fanbase can't go because they haven't enough time to arrange time off work, babysitters for kids, travel, hotel or whatever else they might have to arrange.

There are thousands more tickets available than our average attendances, so just sell the bleeding things like everyone else does.

But what if some lazy season ticket holders don't get themselves sorted in time? God we'll never hear the end of it.

I'm pretty sure anyone with a season ticket or loyalty points won't miss out, but if they do because of their blase I'm alright Jack attitude it's their own fault

I’m be in the same boat as the Man City….which as a ST holder for years…..we all missed due to restrictions.

A party of 4 staying in London the night before, 2 season ticket holder, 1 with very low points and 1 with no points.
All 4 tickets need to be together. Seems a simple request. In previous play-offs we managed it, just went down to the ticket office/

I used to love a day out at Wembley-now iam just not that arsed. Always s good day out until kickoff…

Anston blade is a known Wednesday fan. Predicted we’d be relegated and predicts we’ll lose every match, half of them he predicts we’ll be thrashed.

When we win or are playing well he stops posting but re-appears after defeats. Sad really.

I'll probably know him, I'm from Anston. A lot more of us than them

What about a singing section or something?

You scamp!

Can you get anymore negative?

I agree but we definitely shouldn’t count our chickens finishing 3rd doesn’t give us a right to get to Wembley perhaps the poster has put some truth in the post but I accept totally what you’re referring to UTB
