Update on ticket sales for this batch of northern games - Hull (2,300) and Derby (3,100) both sold out weeks before the games, we took the 2,700 allocation for Liverpool with 350 still available and only 160 left for Sheff Utd (2,700) which will be very close if not a sell-out by the time it comes round.

Impressive numbers, 1,200 miles on the road for most and two midweek fixtures. Time for the team to step up.

 

We might've sold that amount for Liverpool and Sheffield United but i'd bet good money that both will have significant gaps in the away end on the actual day as people are buying just to get access to the skates game

In my experience buying a ticket isn't good enough. The ticket needs to be used on the day to count in your 'aways'. Anybody buying and not going will find themselves very disappointed

That’s not true unfortunately.

The game just needs to have been played, there's no way of the club knowing if the ticket was used, or who the ticket was used by. I know that from experience as i missed Palace away last season because i was ill but the ticket counted on my away history

I don't think we've sold that many for Sheff United,  they didn't put blocks either end of the allocation on sale , for some strange reason that's been on sale to members for a few days they should just let it go on open general sale 

All in all numbers wise still impressive sales for long expensive trips. 3100 will be good at Derby , never used to take many there except for the epic 5000 up at the play off game

Ah, hadn't realised that, not quite so good then.

Well it happened to me.

I think it was a WHU away game where we bought 3 tickets but 2 of us couldn't go through illness but only the 1person whose ticket was used(happened to be me) had the game credited to their 'aways'.  Perhaps I was just unlucky, or it was a co-incidence but has anyone got an example of where they didn't attend and still got the game credited?

I'm surprised the club don't yet ask for attendance information from the home club yet. Easy enough for them to see which ticket was scanned at most grounds.

I know Brighton do exactly this for their away games and remove the credit of those not scanned in.

I caved and bought a membership, but still doesn't let me get a ticket for Sheffield (just have the error saying not eligible yet) - any ideas?

Looks like the other blocks are on sale now for Sheffield Utd, plenty left but should be over 2k there.

I'm hoping to get to the Sheff Utd game. Live in Nottm so gutted the Derby one has sold out (expected) but fingers crossed that we can get general sale tickets for Sheff. Likely to be the only game I can get to and I'll be able to get tickets for this season in the Midlands.

Worth emailing the ticket office, Sheff Utd should be on general sale already don't know what's taking them so long,plenty available 

Bound to be some spares floating around for Derby, keep an eye out on here

It's never really been a problem - a few years ago when I was just a member, not a season ticket holder, I got to loads of the London away games, even Brighton our closest game once (when Bournemouth were in the Champ)

Definitely something they'll have to think about.
