Title: Sheffield United (away)
Post by: Drummond on December 22, 2017, 02:15:34 PM
HI folks, looks like we're only getting circa 2000 which means supply may be short.

Given that I live less than a mile away it would be nice to get to this one if anyone has a spare pretty please!

Are our tickets restricted then as SHA took over 3k there the other week.

This will be a midweek fixture, last train back to the Midlands is 10pm. Went to watch Walsall there a few seasons ago on a Tuesday and just about made last train.

Pain in the arse that the tickets are on sale before the cup game. Can't be arsed with a midweek so will have to buy just in case, then return them if we get through.

Don't think they did - bottom tier is all that is available to visitors these days.

Post by: PGW on January 06, 2018, 01:34:13 PM
I've basically cocked up, over 60 ticket going spare plus coach tkt from VP, will sell match ticket separately, I think it was £26, but coach available as well.

Just come back from VP and all sold out - asked about any returns and they were not that helpful or sure! I then rang Sheffield ticket office to ask if they have a pay on door turnstile and the woman there was even less helpful or unsure.

I could do with one please if someone can PM me I can meet them on Sat against Barnsley with the cash

I am sure we have took more than 2000 previously as there is an upstairs and downstairs - maybe Villa will ask for another amount?

On another note I see the most expensive tickets for Sheff fans is £30 yet ours were / are £32 - I thought they could not do that?

You only get the lower tier now which is 2300 and a few.

Anyone else in the away scheme not had their ticket yet? Think I’d better call the TO tomorrow...!

Post by: loughborough villain on January 27, 2018, 08:39:08 AM
Not in the away scheme but my ticket hasn’t come yet. Rang them and they said it was posted on 16th so I will now have to pick one up at the ground. This happens far too often with our ticket office!
