Manor Owl Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Ok we can laugh and say they are a tiny tinpot club with no fans. True Hull is Rugby league town.I didn't go to the playoffs in 2005 which I will always regret. But the prospect of Hull fans getting 8 tickets each and we will probably need more is wrong Added to that there must be the likelihood that some of these will be sold on and find their way to our fans particularly those who do not live in Sheffield.

markg Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why would we need more? We've got 38k tickets and have sold nowhere near that all season. We have more than enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therac Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why not declare a Wednesday section nearest our fans? Group of about 8 here with a few Billy no mates without priority points. Sure we are not alone, and would like to guarantee seats now rather than risk general sale. Managed to get a box for Brighton too! Any suggestions for location as went to old Wembley a few times with Scarborough (RIP), but haven't been to new. Ideally with fast getaway just in case...

hirstysboots Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hull have to do this to ensure they sell out - there will be grannies, uncles, aunties all travelling down for the occasion who won't have a clue who actually plays for 'their' team. Hull is, and always has been, a Rugby League city, football is their second sport. Don't think their true fans, of which there are quite a few, will panic too much though, they'll all get a ticket because there simply won't be the same level of demand as there is for us.

goodytheowl Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 They didn't goto general sale, their ST holders etc had a day or two first then they went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 We could quite easily sell 50 thou for this. Hull are going to struggle to shift 30.I agree. We sold 40k for Cardiff play off (2005), which was for a match to get promoted from L1 to Champ. We will be able to shift at least that for a potential promotion to the Prem.

Dave DJ Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If they don't sell out will they send tickets back thus meaning they'll be extra tickets for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IstillhateSteveBould Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 A blade mate reckons Hull were allocated 32k for their semi final and didn't sell out. Says there were plenty of empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 ST holders could get 3 each from the first day - From a Hull season ticket holders mouth. Simply due to demand. Can see why that hasn't been done for Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
