Well I presume so as they're not selling print-at-home tickets now according to the website and we were going to break our #notapennymore promise but now the club won't let us #shambles
SU have sold out their allocation so tickets are now on restricted sale, and are no longer on sale online.
The fixture will initially be placed on general sale. However, if Sheffield United sell out their away allocation then tickets will be placed on restricted sale.
Brilliant. Spoke to my son last night and we agreed we'd go along on Saturday for only the third time this season. He said he would order the tickets on-line today.
Now we can't. As I live a fair distance away, I'm not going to down the ground today or tomorrow to buy them. And I'm f***ed if I'm going to pay an extra £3 on the day to buy them.
So the club can stick it as far as I am concerned.
(PS Why not have a ticketing system that recognises people like me who bought their first season ticket in 1975 and actually makes things easy for us?)

Can't you order them and choose the option to pick them up at the ground on the day? That's what I've done this season to avoid the extra £3.
Sounds like a cunning way to force people to pay the Kat-tax. Okay no worries we'll spend our money elsewhere again...
Sigh.
No it doesn't, it's a "cunning plan" to stop Sheffield United fans from buying tickets in the home areas of the ground.
Personally I'd stick them in East Stand Block A, no one sits there anymore and it's what we used to segregate for FA cup games
Come on, Sheff Utd have already sold over 3000 tickets. All their "hard-core" fans will almost certainly have got in early to get their tickets. How many more Sheffield fans do you think are going to try and get tickets? A handful at most. And so what if they sit in the East Stand? It's empty anyway.
Can understand these restrictions if we were playing Millwall but we're not. This is just making life difficult for Charlton fans.

Suppose so but the huge queues to pick them up puts me off as we will have to get there early to do it. What time do you arrive to get them?
I'm pretty sure this policy of only selling to members when the away team sells out pre-dates the current regime, Katrien probably doesn't even know it's in place.

there is always one know it all coming on these threads throwing common sense around!
If a neutral or casual football fan feels like taking in this game at the Valley, it looks like they can't.
But then the same applies when the police make a match all ticket and someone wants to come along on the day, and can't
this .. it's getting more and more difficult to just turn up to watch an FL or premier league game without some kind of club membership or purchasing history
I don't get why people try and use stuff like this as points scoring against the regime, there's plenty of other shit that's their fault, it just makes some fans look overly petty and bitter (there's a lot to be bitter about I know) but again, this isn't one of them!

totally agree, from some of the stuff i have read (not all on here) you would think anyone without a red card has been banned from every ground in England and Wales!

I arrive after 2 and sometimes there isn't a queue at all. Occasionally wait a couple of minutes. I've found it uch easier than buying on the day where the queues are usually long.

This, hell of a lot wrong, but some would still find a reason to moan if the club stated that today was Thursday.
Seems a bit OTT, how many walk ups are there likely to be from Sheffield?
Even if a handful of away fans did tip up on the day, stick them in the nearest block to the away end in the east or west. They're not Millwall.
There is clearly still a demand from Sheffield United fans for tickets, even though they have sold out, I would imagine the clubs have spoken to each other about this and decided it was best. Sheffield United would have a fairy large London based supporters club. They may not be Millwall, but they still have a large hoolie element, if it kicked off in home areas due to tickets being available without restriction to anyone, then this forum would explode with indignation at the regime and asking why they were not restricted.
This is standard practise for a high category game against a club with a large away following, move on, nothing to see.
SU have sold out their allocation so tickets are now on restricted sale, and are no longer on sale online.
The fixture will initially be placed on general sale. However, if Sheffield United sell out their away allocation then tickets will be placed on restricted sale.
Target20K is unattainable under this regime, but even appreciating the safety issues, the club don't exactly go out of their way to attract casual fans even on quiet days...

Thanks for posting that up. That makes more sense. Should have read the website before going into a rant!
