Sheff Utd attendance

[Green Wolf]

Can anybody see this being much over 20,000? Lots of empty seats and Sheff United had only sold 1100 by NYE.
A shame that this isn't a Saturday 3 o'clock as I think that would have helped a lot.

 

[arctic rime]

Hopefully a big take up this week especially after last nights superb effort, let's take it seriously.

 

[Wolf316]

But but but i can never get tickets as it’s a closed shop!

I guess people mean the big PL fixtures when they say that, though.

Absolutely

A good way to build their points to give them more of a chance to attendant the fixtures they cant get in for. Think what they really mean is we want a ticket for City and Liverpool etc

Over 20’000 sold so I expect high 20s by kick-off

I know quite a few going to this, would be myself as unironically this is corectly priced but no guarantees of being covid-free by that point and the trains down south seem to be getting shafted left and right!

Not sold out though which is interesting, fans beating down the doors I'm told

Won't most that be down to Sheff as well?

We have ~10k seats available at the moment they have a couple of thousand left. Will be interesting to see how it goes

 

[arctic rime]

Normally there seems to be a decent uptake as the game gets closer, I guess people waiting to see if there are no covid related issues?

Trains everywhere are. I know a bloke who is a train manager at a major rail provider. Two issues:

Firstly drivers are refusing to work days off and overtime.

Secondly, the timetables are in flux due to crewing issues. They are juggling timetables between now and mid February. By then they know what they can effectively run. Results will be less trains, but no cancellations (your train will run, but less often).

Not ideal though.

Edit: Trans Pennine routes are particularly badly affected. So might explain low numbers from Sheffield?

You get the option to use it when you go through to checkout.

Thanks . Where? Just see coupon / gift voucher?

 

[Wolf316]

There should be a tick box on there that then allows you to decide how much to use.

This ^^^^

I was thinking of taking my boy for his first ever match, and since I don't have membership this year, I can't get tickets for the PL games. But I'm currently sitting on the fence as I could really do without us both catching Covid at the start of the school term.

 

[SevernWolf]

Is there somewhere we can see how many tickets have been sold, other than adding up each section on the ticketing site?

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I’m going to be making a last minute call. Gave my ST to my friends daughter for her first match, but might end up buying one just before.

Basically can I be bothered to risk getting Covid (again as I’m now 6 months post having it) for an FA Cup match against Sheffield Utd. It’s not so much the illness itself but the isolation that’s the pain.

I'm taking my boy for his first match myself, and he [and I!] can't wait!

 

[clivewolves]

Hopefully if I receive my covid pass letter this week I will get a ticket.

Get Jeff to fly some of his non legacy supporters in from China or Mexico....jobs a good un

No, sadly not SevernWolf.
Would be nice to have an automatic ticket counter installed, so fans could see how ticket sales are going for each match.
Showing, x amount sold, or x amount left. Which would be a good help for checking fans, if they weren't sure of their plans in advance.

Just done a quick tally, and there are 4,000 tickets left with 3 days to go, so apart from the empty quadrant, it might get close to selling out.

Tbf that's a fantastic effort, hopefully comes close to selling the remainder, now we've dipped into the transfer market

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Would help if you could use your wolves cash towards it. Ffs

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Don't know why and I'm probably putting the mockers on this but I'm feeling very optimistic, about a good FA Cup run!!
A trip to 'Wemberley' beckons and we could heed the call !!!!

Wolves ONLY Wolves!!

 

[arctic rime]

Selling steadily now

The daft thing is, FA Cup Final day is on Saturday, 14th May.
We are scheduled to play Norwich at home that weekend on Sunday 15th May, the second to last match of the season.

 

[Steampunk Rules OK]

You can’t for Cup Matches - we tried.

Doubt there’ll be a sell-out.

Agreed c4,000 tickets currently available: plus just under 2,000 in quadrant plus likely to be hospitality leftover. So likely to be over 6,000 to sell.

Have sold c1,000 today and so unless a new signing I’d suspect no more then 3,000 sold before the game.

Sheff Utd have sold 1650. May at best reach 2000.

I’d therefore suspect somewhere north of 25,000 which is still a decent attendance for two second string sides.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

Very poor from sheff utd they have hardly played for weeks, you would think the fans would be eager.
Apparantly not....

Second string?

 

[JohnB]

Second string?

I’m assuming both sides will make a number of changes. Pretty typical for FA Cup early rounds.

Sheff Utd saying only 1450 sold? Maybe out of date info?

I'm not coming down from Sheffield - I don't like driving down on me own, the trains are a right mess, and I can't afford the extra expense. I wouldn't be surprised if many of their fans are feeling the same...

*edit: I might come, but I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for this one given the circumstances
