I like that idea, John St is easy to segregate in the concourse and it would be fairly easy to divide the road outside. We could combine it with installing rail seating on the lower tier behind the goal for those that want to stand.

What would we do about those pesky Forest fans invading the pitch from John Street? I know, let’s give them the entire stand - that’ll LeArN em!

I’ve just had a look at every area available and my guess is there’s less than 800 tickets left.

That must take some time as I was clicking a few areas earlier and gave up. Too time consuming. Sold out by tonight probably.

I'd be emailing the ticket office, who will most likely pass it on to the Disability Support Officer. They're usually very good at replying promptly. In these days of inclusivity, I'm sure they'll be keen to hear your concerns.

Thanks - good idea.

I managed to get through myself on the phones and sorted a ticket for her for Saturday, which is great, but I do think this is a more general issue - I'll email the ticket office and ask them to pass it on as you suggest.
 
Anyone wanting a better seat 70 have just been placed online in the South Stand. 500 tickets in the ground with a view left. Plus 200 restricted view in the family corner and Kop.

Just a little moan from me today, how come I get charged a booking fee when I had to print my own ticket at home.

It's to pay for the leaving present of the person who decided we had to give Forest 10% of the capacity 😉
 
I'll take accusations of jinxing it by getting ahead of myself. But.... I am in the lucky position of being able to get to a number of non-SUFC "big games". Internationals, UEFA, FIFA, etc. It is becoming routine for ALL tickets sales to be handled ONLY online. And for those to be electronic tickets. All tickets in the EUROs last year were mobile tickets, purchased online.

And, I see Sunderland have made their arrangements for Wembley having beaten SWFC. Sunderland will sell ALL Wembley tickets online. Nothing on sale in person, or on the telephone. They'll be using Ticketmaster for their sales.

So, jinxing it, be prepared for "anything" if we get to the final.

Looks like we're going to completely sell out the 26k home seats or however many we have. Some fans are going to be disappointed. They won't be able to get a seat anywhere in the ground, while most of the Westfield and half the BL lower remain empty

Aye, good luck with that if they try it. There are LOADS of people who just love queuing in SUFC car park. They could offer to send Billy Sharp round for personal tuition on using the ticket site and people will still get down to stand in a queue for 2 hours

Bought a ticket in south stand online this afternoon in about five minutes. No fuss. Good price. I see why a lot of folk are frustrated but it’s not a universal crisis.

Absolutely And nothing related to Sheffield United on a Sheffield United forum is.

Is that our benchmark now?

Has there been a club explanation as to why the Upper Tier was given to Forest fans yet or heard anyone ask on Radio Sheffield.

They said it’s due to safety concerns because they went on pitch when they equalised earlier on in season.

Which is absolute madness that there punishing United fans for Forrest fans going on pitch

That was just pure excitement by their fans,no malice in it was there,big overreaction by whoever made the call to move them upstairs.

We've been letting away fans celebrate on the pitch for years now with no genuine effort to deter or firm action when they do. If that policy means we have to decrease capacity for home fans at big games then maybe we should start policing the away end properly

Yep nothing like sacrificing 2/3000 home fans to accommodate the away team

It’s in the T&C’s of the season ticket, that the seat is not guaranteed for cup games(clause 2.11). Not sure what anyone is complaining about really.

Nobody cares where they sit, why don't people get it?

More Forest fans means less United fans

Forest fans in the upper tier means more empty seats for segregation

Meaning even less United fans

And all because of a problem Forest fans caused in the first place coupled with a shit police force and SAG taking what they consider to be the easiest route to earning money for doing fuck all
 

So we are on to page 21 about the sale of tickets for this match. Why on earth haven't we heard an official statement from the club about all of this. They are quiet about anything to do with the running of the club at the moment, the sale, where we are with the financial suitability of the prospective owner, player contracts and then this. It is just not good enough. The ticketing website site also needs complete revamp to make the process easier and more intuitive. There comes a time with all software that it is no longer worth trying to update it by tinkering with it.
