Dot Counting Sheffield Utd Home Ticket Thread Sat 5 April (3pm)

[Kamal]

How is the club going to stop viewing the game over the fence ?as there's going to be big followings coming down soon a lot with no tickets.

Unlike previous seasons, I think the Police will move them on now as we're selling out games, so assume it can be deemed as a safety issue.

 

[holdsteady]

There were the Portsmouth fans who watched over the fence via pallets on the back of a truck for the play-off game, but apart from that I don't remember much else.

That was a zero attendance game though wasn't it?

2.30pm update on Friday and there are now 256 home seats remaining - 231 original seats and 25 exchange tickets

Nothing the club can do about it though, even if we wanted to, as we don’t own that piece of land?

11.30pm update on Saturday and now only 159 home seats left - 132 original seats and 27 exchange tickets. Nearly all singles.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

4.15pm update on Monday for both the Sheffield Utd and QPR matches

143 home seats left for Sheffield Utd - 118 original seats and 25 exchange tickets

414 home seats left for QPR - all single seats in North and East Stands, plenty of seats together in South Stand Lower and Upper, not yet been opened up to ticket exchange

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

Midnight update on Tuesday

109 home seats left for Sheffield Utd - 62 original seats & 47 exchange tickets

321 home seats left for QPR

 

[Colin B]

We are now officially at a Sell Out Plus.

42 original tickets left and at least 46 exchange tickets sold. There are, though, 55 exchange tickets for sale too.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

Midnight update on Thursday

69 seats currently available for Sheffield Utd - 31 original and 38 exchange.

178 home seats left for QPR on Wednesday 9th - ticket exchange will presumably be opened up on Friday.

Leeds tickets go on open sale on Friday at 12pm and could sell out very quickly given the likely demand for this match.

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

1.40pm update on Friday

LEEDS ticket sales are flying - just 324 homes seats now left (after 90 minutes of open sale) - North Stand 77, East Stand 72, South Upper 26, South Lower 149

SHEFFIELD UTD - 77 seats currently available - 29 original and 48 exchange

QPR - 143 home seats currently left - not yet opened to ticket exchange but imagine it will be later today

FURTHER UPDATE - down to 272 seats for Leeds at 2.05pm

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I have come down with a horrible chest infection and don't think it would be fair to infect everyone else in the East Stand, so have put my ticket on the ticket exchange. It's a decent seat with nice people around it! Gutted I can't be there - hope I am better for Wednesday....

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

Sold mine on the ticket exchange as currently heading to Bruges for the weekend (planned last year!). Gutted I can’t be there but fingers crossed for a battling performance, some good luck, decent chances and converted penalty.

It will be interesting to see how many of the Leeds tickets get rejected once the details are checked.

You need to have been on the database and have ticket buying history before March 15th so maybe not many, don’t know how effective that is.

Midnight update on Friday

Sheffield Utd - 65 seats available- 20 original & 45 exchange. Exchange seats go off sale at noon on Saturday.

QPR - 115 seats available and ticket exchange somewhat bizarrely not open yet.

Leeds - 95 seats available- all single seats and ticket exchange not open yet.

With the Sheff Utd game, at my latest check, we had 18 original seats left, and 48 exchange seats. There has been a lot of movement (relatively speaking) of exchange seats over the last 48 hours, with new ones becoming available and quite a few sales, leaving us at (at least) 106 exchange sales to date. It means we have sold 88 seats more than capacity.

I have absolutely no doubt that the remaining 18 seats will go this morning, and that the exchange seats will continue to sell also. It is an absolutely cast iron Sell Out Plus, but I suspect we will still be talking about empty seats this evening.

With the QPR game, I can only presume that someone with decades of experience has forgotten to switch the exchange tickets button on? After all they've been busy selling Leeds tickets, and can't be expected to concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Having said that, excellent sales for all three games.

Not that effective when OUFC fans on the database are buying tickets and giving them to LUFC supporters. It also doesn’t help when executive boxes have been sold to LUFC supporters, and those of an OUFC persuasion that then give their tickets out to Leeds fans.

I fully expect there to be problems next Friday if Leeds score, as I don’t believe the club have a clue just how many Leeds fans will be in the home areas.

 

[Blox21]

Without doubt it will be the most away fans in the home end since we’ve been at the Kassam, hope there’s a sensible approach from the stewards , get em out sharpish !!

Executives boxes are ridiculous and that’s on the club.
Not much the club can do about any fans who pass on tickets to Leeds fans unless those fans play up, if they do then ban the fans who bought them the tickets.

I have no fears, as we have people with decades of experience on the case ( dont we?)

12pm update on Saturday- exchange tickets now off sale and just 9 seats left

 

[Oxymoron]

Why would they do that?

 

[holdsteady]

Only 53 seats left for Leeds now.

12pm update on Saturday- exchange tickets now off sale and just 9 seats left

Did you notice how many exchange seats were available, and how many were sold, before they went off sale?

I went on to do a final count of them at about 11:55 and they had already gone off sale. My latest figure is 43 exchange seats left, and (at least) 118 exchange seats sold and this was at about 10:30am.

They seem to go off sale at random times, sometimes 3 hours before kick off, sometimes 4 hours, sometimes a different time altogether.

Still no exchange for QPR (98 remaining) or Leeds (53 remaining).

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

No like you checked just before 12pm and exchange tickets already removed.

Currently 11 seats left for Sheffield Utd - 7 of them are newly released including two at the back of the North Stsnd and 5 together in South Stand Upper. Annoying that someone has just bought the second seat in of this row of five meaning there are three together and a single seat - as previously discussed, this really shouldn’t be allowed by the system.

Only 59 seats now left for Leeds and 95 for QPR and still no ticket exchange opened for either match.

Can the ticket exchange be open for multiple games at the same time?

@OUSP @OxVox - could we get communication from the club that they will actively eject any away supporters in the home areas.

THIS SHOULD BE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED

I really worry what it will do to safety in the family stand, club morale, and Oxford fans unfairly getting drawn into conflict and potential bans , if Leeds fans are allowed to remain in the home areas celebrating a potential oxford m defeat in our faces

After today, I think if any Leeds fans are in the home areas (and I think these things are always massively talked up in advance, and rarely actually happen) then it will be us celebrating in their faces!

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

Just 36 seats left for QPR & 18 for Leeds - ticket exchange yet to be opened for either match

 

[The Curragh Of Kildare]

8.15pm update and just 35 original seats left for QPR and down to 6 remaining original seats for the Leeds match (3 each in North and East Stands, with South Stand currently sold out completely).
