Pod9 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Apologies if this has already been discussed but I've just read Leeds have been given 4600 tickets at Hillsbrough. Surely this is incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Quote We can now confirm ticket details for our trip to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday 1st October (12:15pm) live on Sky Sports. Ticket Allocation: Approximately 4,600 As per their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the teams we play, id give Leeds the least allocation. Horrendous fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Aren't we giving clubs what they have agreed to give us? Thought I'd read that somewhere before the season started. The club had discussion with United, and they were adamant that we'd only be allocated 2,500ish tickets at Bramall Lane, so we've given them the same. I can only imagine Leeds have agreed to give Wednesday 4,500ish tickets at Elland Rd, so we've given them likewise. Can't be fairer than that.

alanharper Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So that's the whole of the top tier and some of the bottom. Yet we only gave the pigs 2,400 or something like that, so just two thirds of the top tier - personally I'd have given them the full top tier at least, rip off as many of them as possible at £42 a go. That said, at least Leeds will sell their tickets and not pretend to be boycotting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mercury Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Cannot understand this , less away fans there the better for me. Hillsboroughs always been an away fans dream 5/6/7 thousand if needed/required, has to help the opposition surely. Would defo have given this shower of s*** same as our allocation at Bellend Road. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Chansiri is looking at things purely on a business level. He knows Wednesday fans will sell out for the Sheffield derby with United getting the minimum amount of tickets. Potentially the west stand lower might not be needed for the Leeds game, therefore why not cash in on the knowledge that Leeds will sell it. More revenue for Wednesday and that's what Chansiri wants.

Front 2 rows and areas near both corner flags. So all clubs are treat the same with EVERY club allocated a max of just over 2,200 tickets at Bramall Lane.

Baffling. Your personal opinion is probably and quite rightly presumably based on your own attendance habits, but I can only take the view that you don't go to away games. Giving small allocations only leads to reciprocity which means those that want to go to away matches which have a great Wednesday atmosphere far better than Hillsborough don't get a look in for tickets.

jonnyowl Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Someone is going to have to explain the logic behind this? Why give Leeds more than the Blunts? I can only think because more chance of selling west lower to Owls fans against the blunts? Would have thought that Leeds will only be given the upper due to past problems.

Think it was explained a few posts back, we give what we get, I.E if the Pigs only give us 2500 at the sty then we do the same? Seems fair to me.

Pod9 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm sure Leeds Away sold out on the day last year. It definitely made it to general sale. Its just a horrible place to go and they are just full on idiots! I would gladly sacrifice us only have 1000 tickets if it meant Leeds only got the same. I think it's a good idea to only give what we are likely to receive. Sick of giving other teams 4000 plus if required only for us to get 1800 if we are lucky.
