Playoff tickets, First Leg

[FlamingLip]

I do love United but we're so reliably tinpot

Hope everyone that is struggling takes a breath and calls the club to try and sort. Good luck!!

Yes things could have been done alot better but just think on, we could be sat in a rusty stadium with 10,000 part-timers a league (maybe 2) below the mighty blades wishing we were playing Forest. Oh wait a minute Forest Green it is.

 

[ShropsBlade]

All these people who are sacking it off to watch it home.

1. Is your phone broke?

2. A hope if we do get to Wembley, a home leg is needed to be able to buy a reasonably priced ticket.

Just get on the phone to the ticket office, buy a ticket and get yourself down to the lane. Otherwise your listening to Andy Hinchcliffe talk shite for 90 minutes.

They just like a moan up , I struggled on the website.But persevered and waited 50 minutes on the phone.And ticket come through the post today.

Have you actually read this thread.

It really isn't just people who like to moan.

It's a balls up.

I'd go as far as saying it's embarrassing for the club.

There were only around 500 left last night BLLT and a few restricted view seats left so not sure why they get away with spinning the pig propaganda in the local media. At the end of the day around 2000 who were at the Fulham game will miss out on this fixture due to the incompetence of those running the club, no matter how they spin it this fiasco is down to SUFC not SYP or SAG. Piss up and brewery spring to mind.

Explain how anyone will miss out? Hundreds left in the lower tier, anyone who wants to go can buy one, it won't sell out even with a lower capacity.

taking into consideration that a lot of people who will pay game by game don't purchase until the last 48 hours then I think quite a few will miss out plus how many who haven't "moaned on here" have given up on trying due to online issues that could stretch to large numbers

 

[Vass Borbokis]

The whole 'fuck it, fuck the club, I'll watch it at home' is a daft mentality.

If you can't get a ticket through the online system and can't be arsed to try alternative methods, that's on you.

Granted, there will be some that can't get one online because of actual problems with their accounts, that definitely sucks (you could have ensured your account is up to date before now), however I'd imagine a big chunk of the issues are user driven.

I remember queuing up for hours before the ticket office was even open to try and secure tickets ~20 years ago.
Now a wait on hold on a phone is too much for people.

It is embarrassing how the club made season ticket holders give up their seats to give Forest 3k+ tickets especially if we assumed they would give us the same amount of tickets back. It is also strange that we didn't give Forest 2k tickets on the top tier near the old enterprise centre, net a block off and sell the rest to Blades( the concourse can be spit off)

However, for a little bit of balance, I think the pricing is spot on especially considering the cost of living crisis. Any fan who wants to go, even with a group of people( if they have a purchase history) can still buy tickets which would suggest the club( despite its poor customer service) has given all fans who can attend an opportunity to attend.

The fact that fans haven't sold out the ground already is somewhat surprising . I can't imagine fans refusing to go all because they cannot sit in 'their' seat for one game .

My wife's was in her 'Spam' box (oo errr). It was received the day she ordered the ticket. Can you access it va your online account and 're-send' it ?

Who wants a seat in worst area in ground

 

[Blade.com]

Just had a quick shuffty on SUFC App, easily done. 1 ticket left on John Street. About 100 or so on the right side of BLLT as you look at the kop. And 3 single seats on the Kop.
Be quick. 4 million Wednesday fans are watching!

 

[madeinsheffield]

Just email the ticket office. I did and it’s all sorted

Anyone that wants to go

Don't think it will but near enough.

You're "e ticket" should be an attachment to your receipt of payment email. Have you checked or not received that either?

I never twigged when I got mine for the Burnley game last season, got in touch with Ticket Office and they put me right.

 

[LS16Blade]

Some fans most definitely will not be attending by reason of not being able to sit in their season ticket seat. My father, who has been going to the Lane for 62 years, took his bat and ball home when he tried to get his seat in the South Stand on Sunday, only to find that it had gone.

Supporting a club as chronically under-achieving as Sheffield United is as much about the ritual of the whole day - attending with your friends and/or family in the same tradition as you have for decades before, as anything else. If that gets messed with, I can perfectly understand why any fan wouldn’t want - as an alternative - to go and sit on the Lane end lower tier which is an area of the ground that United fans have never been keen to go on largely because it’s a poor view.

I myself was fortunate enough to get my season ticket seat but, I’m bound to say, attendance at Saturday’s match is already diminished for me. I’ll be the only one of 3 season ticket holders in the family, who will be there.

Just had a look. A lot more than 100 left on BLLT - I’d say around 500. South and John St full, 2 left on kop and about 70 restricted view on Family Corner.

 

[Bladeloyal]

kop jss and south all but gone ,and the 350 in the bllt will start to disappear this afternoon and on payday tomorrow

I’m not disagreeing it’s a balls up , but throwing the towel in and going the boozer to watch it seems a bit extreme.Your choice though I guess.

We have an app?
Bloody massive.

I'm flouncing off to the pub unless I'm hand delivered a gold ticket on a silver platter ,hand delivered by Bettis in a rolls Royce .ticket fiasco

 

[nicksufc]

It will be amazing when it sells out and it turns out we've shifted these 5,000 unsold tickets in a matter of hours

 

[Sean Thornton]

Don't understand the club's attitude Hecki is doing a great job with the playing side ! That's his responsibility discharged.
Who's incarcerated of other areas of the club? Whoever it is are neglecting there duties as the club is becoming a laughing stock
No one on media duties fans are Furious at lack of communication with management.
Come on prince sort this mess out the club are fast becoming a joke.
Just who is responsible for day to day running of the club s they are Awol at a vital time.

They peel them with their metal knives.

Are you really that thick? There are around 2000 less seats available to home fans for this game than there was for the Fulham game.

Same problem here. Went down about 10 this morning, no queue, they printed them off for me.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Spelling checker has minced one or two of my words sorry about that

That old chestnut Finlay. We know you’ve found the Brasso.
