@owlstalk Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Please let us have your unsold seatsWe can shift them in less than an hourIt would be so poor to get to Wembley and see thousands of empty seats because you can't sell them, when we have fans who have missed out on the big day here at our endDo the right thing - budge all your tickets up into the same block where you can all sit together less spaced out, free up a few blocks and let us have themTa.

theowlsman Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Dear Hull, Refund those who have bought tickets and let us have another 39,000. We'll sell the lot. Ta The Massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls about that Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Doubt it will happen, but i hope i am wrong, my mate is a Weeds fan and he said when they played Donny in play off final, they wouldnt let them have the Donny unsold tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townend_owl Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 A lot of their fans saying their ticket sales process has been really badly handled and they actually haven't been freely able to buy tickets at all. No idea what's going on there, but fact is they're not available online any more and they might be selling a few thousand in person which might still leave upwards of 10k empty seats. Surely gotta be something we can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OwlFromHoyland Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Leeds had a few thousand in the donny end that time who went into their own congregations on each tier. Will the FA learn that tinpot teams wont sell tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Tin pot Hull, should have been given 25k and us the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evaD Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If Hull were bothered they wouldn't have requested the full allocation. No chance of getting more tickets now unfortunately as they've already been sent out for delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) If Hull were bothered they wouldn't have requested the full allocation. No chance of getting more tickets now unfortunately as they've already been sent out for delivery Would require some very swift organising. Re-issuing Hull tickets in certain areas to empty areas of identical category etc. Get those freed up blocks up for sale 9am tomorrow morning for Wednesday fans. PS it wouldn't come from Hull, but the football league/wembley could just instruct them to do it... Edited May 24, 2016 by nebneeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebneeb Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Another thought... all the money gets divided between the teams! How can that be right that Hull get an equal share of the pot that's smaller because they didn't contribute equally to it, and even prevented us contributing more to it so it's smaller than it should be. Seriously, the unsold tickets should be deducted from their share of any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It won't happen now. Too late in the day It won't happen cos there has never been any inclination from anyone who could make it happen to allow it. But it could easily still happen. Seriously, it isn't even complicated. It would cost a bit, but nothing like as much as the cost of 20,000 empty unsold seats is going to cost. 1. Certain blocks in the Hull side have all their tickets cancelled, and re-issued elsewhere. They get an email immediately and the re-issued tickets are sent today to arrive tomorrow. We know they've hardly sold any anyway, so would only affect about 3 people. 2. Meanwhile those now empty blocks are put straight up for sale to Wednesday fans. Easy peasy. It won't happen cos those that could make it happen don't give a F.

VBQ24 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's no surprise really that Hull requested their full allocation. Even if they don't expect to sell it all, why give us the advantage of 20,000 extra fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) My mates daughter was speaking to someone from the FA through her work last week. He had said that Hull wanted to know how many tickets we had requested so they could request the same even though they thought they wouldn't sell them all. They simply didn't want SWFC having any kind of advantage over them by having a larger, louder fanbase behind them. WE WILL BE LOUDER AND AN ADVANTAGE ANYWAY SO UP YOURS HULL Edited May 24, 2016 by full fathom five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelman Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Why don't all that fans that haven't got tickets just go down there anyway and just force their way in? After all, there's going to be plenty of space for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebneeb Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's no surprise really that Hull requested their full allocation. Even if they don't expect to sell it all, why give us the advantage of 20,000 extra fans? Hence why it shouldn't be up to Hull to be able to demand seats are not to be sold. By all means do the allocations fairly and equally whilst both teams are able to sell them... But the reality is the FA have a big stadium that was built on borrowed money that needs paying for. There are going to be over 10,000 empty seats in it. There are thousands of fans who want to buy those empty seats. The FA should have a method in place which means in situations like this there aren't wasted seats. It's not only costing the FA revenue. It's costing Sheffield Wednesday money. It's costing Hull money. The pot that gets shared is smaller than it should be. That isn't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
