Sheff Weds - Tickets Remaining

At the home games so far this season, I've noticed a small cluster of empty seats in the middle tier of the west stand, closest to the north stand. Anyone know why? Just curious.

From where I sit in WSU there are empty seats all over the place which is why the official attendance figure is so inflated.

Looks very clever! Do we know for sure that the amount listed is actually the amount remaining though? I was under the impression that they released the south stand tickets on a block-by-block basis to concentrate fans away from the away supporters.

First home game that isn't in the summer holiday season though, so I imagine there will be fewer no shows from the season ticket holders.

Also looks like the ticket exchange may kick in; 20 tickets remain if that rather clever little site is correct!

That's not why the figure is inflated. The club has adopted the same method as most other clubs in reporting the number of tickets sold, including all the season tickets, not the number of people through the turnstiles. If no-one attended a game, the attendance would equal roughly the number of season tickets sold, regardless.

Seems pointless to me, but apparently it is good for marketing/sales/business :shrug:

I,m sweating..........I only need 28 for the line.
 


This is interesting. In order to see if the app could deal with 0 I took the last 4 (well put them in my basket) and it sold out. However as I assume noone in the office is sub-2 minute quick I believe it automatically triggered a bunch of new seats to be released (and my 4 went back into the pot when I cleared my basket).

Went down to 10 odd then jumped a little

Are they releasing small batches every now and then?

If they are, the cynic in me might think they're doing this to ensure the 'sold out' signs don't go up until it's too late to crank up the ticket exchange machine.

Why wouldn't they want the ticket exchange operating? It's more cash for them isn't it?

Actually I took the other 34 and the game momentarily sold out. This time no new tickets arrived....better still the app didnt crash. I've put the 34 back in the pot again now and people can buy again.
