Can anyone tell me what the likely date of the 4th round vs sheffield will be on and ticketing sales dates by any chance? presumably if on a weekend they would give a large allocation?

cheers.

Which is when Albion+ can get tickets for the PL game away at Sheff Utd.

Maybe on sale Wednesday and suspect the cup game though there will only be 3 levels, STH with x amount points, all STH and then all Albion+ on Weds, Thurs, Fri

Almost a week after the draw and 12 days before the game and still no confirmation of the date/time nor of ticket prices and sale dates. I might well have gone but have had to commit to other things that weekend. This is bordering on contempt of the fans IMHO.

It's been confirmed as 3pm Saturday 27th elsewhere on this thread.

However, no idea why they are dragging their heels on tickets. Presumably trying to work out our allocation and pricing.

The state of Royal Mail these days it will be too late to send the tickets out and we'll have another Charlton. Frankly, I want to spend Saturday lunchtime eating and drinking in a good Sheffield pub, not queuing for a ticket that's still in the post.

Have the club learned nothing?

Worryingly, if the club repeated this timeframe for the Europa round of 16, tickets wouldn't be on sale and the away leg would be just 6 days away.

Appreciate the European stuff is probably slightly easier to schedule but still. That is going to fun booking flights and tickets in such a short space of time.

At least for the European games you collect in the host city anyway

Wasn’t the actual fixture date/time only agreed a couple of days ago (when Massive were moved to Friday to avoid a clash) ? If so, factor in the weekend with no admin staff about it’s hardly surprising.

But the issue is mainly due to the fact that Sheffield United tickets will be paper ones, and therefore all the issues of delays in post that brings, and no one wants another Charlton. If the cup tickets were e-tickets there would be far unless panic.

In this day and age, it's should be e-ticket. I appreciate that's a Sheffield United issue and not an Albion one but there is something we could do. For instance, I would pay extra for recorded delivery or better still a supplier that isn't Royal Mail as they are totally shit. As it stands, we are now all going to be sweating on tickets. A 300 mile round trip option for me of collect from Amex doesn't suit as I will have to give Wolves a miss.

In regards to the Europa home tickets, I'm personally not fussed when they go on sale - I've got to buy them at some point - but there must be a happy medium between 2 months in advance and less than 2 weeks. Both seem to be either the extreme of too long or too short.
