Will we sell out?

[Tickhill Blade]

But block 114 sold ages ago - just a bit weird for tickets to reappear after all this time ?

I dunno.

Are they similar to the seats at the bottom of H block on the South Stand that magically appear days after the rest of the stand has sold out?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Ticket office closed... how can we open other blocks.. overtime on?

Automation.

 

[Tanny1889]

After all this, yes, we will sell out

 

[jt64]

Interesting that resale sites are already going on in both endsView attachment 211055 https://seatpick.com/championship-play-off-final-2025-tickets/event/362575?quantity=1

The way most of these work is that they put out whatever they think they can source, then if they get an order, they try to get tickets by fair means or foul, if they can't get them they just cancel your order. I guarantee seatpick has at most a few percent of what they claim to have. Certainly because we've not even released our tickets yet

They have all our emails - this should be sent out not just posted on X

I read X much, much more frequently than I check my emails. It's really the only sensible place to get news first on anything, not just United

Overtime?

Sneks covering it to keep costs down?

Again denial.

Just like we sell out every big match, you know that if Wednesday were in the PL and the ground allowed it - Wednesday would average 50,000, let alone 30,000.

It’s your belligerent denial that’s funny whilst not even selling out Wembley - yet again.

Or a play off home leg - yet again.

It’s totally embarrassing.

Thats a very long way around saying NO, they'll never average 30k again for the next decade.

I do enjoy the "if we signed Mbappe, we won the Champions League, gave out a free cars per ST sold, and home tickets were a quid a pig"... we'd get 80,000 fans in the ground stance though. The 'if my Auntie had bollocks' outlook is always a winner.

There’s currently almost 1000 tickets for sale in block 524 at all price points. And it looks like there’s another 3 blocks still to be opened when they have gone.
Now that eligible buyers can buy 2, it should be straightforward for even the most occasional Blade to get a ticket.
Happy days.

I reckon we'll sell 524 out, 525 will be segregation, then they'll give Sunderland the other two (hey, they're more excited than we are, it's new to them, they're a one club city, and we've had some serious PTSD)...
We'll end up on 33k which personally I think is a great effort

H block they were the days, got me exited that especially v Leeds was it 2003

At least everyone's wearing red and white stripes, both sides can claims the full 75000

Yessssss, no segregation, let the pigs think we've COMPLETELY sold out

Will someone please think of the half and half scarf merchants

 

[Rusty view]

Pigs will claim we returned half of top tier and that it was all Sunderland fans. We only took 20k

 

[Davalon]

Surely, baskets should work similar to Ticketmaster; where you have say, 30 mins to purchase before they’re made available again ?

I'm sure it said tickets would only be held for a short time.

Even though I had a good idea where I wanted our tickets, I quickly got some in the rough area without spending time perusing in case I got kicked out.

You get 60 mins to purchase after they're in your basket

 

[mattbianco1]

I think we're about done now.
Maybe finish block 524 off and that will be that.

We have ~27K regulars if you think 30K AVG in PL with 3K away fans.
I'm not sure we have 8.5K daytrippers like the tramps up the road.
Our attendances don't really fluctuate in massive swings

Lol and I was in and out like the Guinness Book of Records premature ejaculation holder

I was buying 15 tickets. It took me 20mins to allocate them properly

This is why I don't get sucked in to attendance war. I'm fairly proud of our tighter and more commited following. 27k at home, 32k at wembley. I'm not sure what the big victory is with being 'bigger'

Or maybe I'm just taking copium.

Weren't we at like 32k before new block opened...

Think we will get 524&525 mostly done. Will be more or less our 35k allocation.

Agreed, I think Danny Hall got figures from the club saying there were about 115,000 registered members who would have the minimum points for general sale.

 

[s20Blade]

Did we sell put Cardiff and Wembley for the Burnley game? Strange if we've lost fans

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

They won’t be sitting on their own. During the match they’ll have fellow Blades either side of them. Before & after the match they can spend as much time as they want with their friends.

Aye
But would you want to be sat next to (some of ?)the cunts on here

 

[Rusty view]

I struggled with 4...and still panicked today that I'd messed up

 

[Paisley Blade]

Block 524 just opened, just got 5 together

Stressed as fuck trying to do precisely the same at 1.30 today.

Didn't manage to execute the plan(!) but at least we are in , good on you mate

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
Ref my post elsewhere:-
“Forget all the shite about ko times; train availability; (not) selling out; loyalty points/ sitting together ;etc
Just arrived back in Slumderland from a trip to York to witness something to make the blood run cold, a vendor peddling ‘half & half Sun’lun: Wednesday scarf albeit both the halves were variations of red/white/black ?!?!?!
When I tried to take a photo the fella got arsy & intervened stating I wasn’t allowed to do so because of ‘copyright’ infringement but I could do what I wished with it ionce purchased !
I’m considering setting up a crowd funding page - to purchase (+ PPE for safe handling) - any takers?!?!?!?!

PS Given his ‘attitude’ I decided not to explain my interest but wished him well in his ‘endeavour’”

Just booked some EMDR therapy to help me with the trauma of booking the tickets today...

This drives me mad, every time I go to buy tickets I’m left with either outskirts of Kop or bramall lane upper. Yet every game I’ve been to I can see loads of empty seats particularly on John street. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I’m interested because I’m wanting to get a season ticket for next season but would rather sit on north or south - I have a young son who can’t see a thing on Kop, and I hate sitting above away fans cos the atmosphere is shite!

May well be s/t holders that didn’t attend that specific game
Some other clubs facilitate a resale system for s/t holders unable (unwilling???) to attend a particular game
