Sheffield Wednesday 29/12/2025

I've created this now because I just wanted to check / moan about something. I saw yesterday on the Club's twitter page that tickets for this game go off sale today and there will be no sales on the day at Hillsborough, and that purchases are online only. 

This staggers me even by recent football standards, that tickets are going off sale over 6 days before the game despite there being no chance of a sell out and with them being skint. 

It seems to be a deliberate attempt to deter people from making a late decision to attend, ignoring that most people will have other things to worry about and spend their money on in the lead up to Christmas and that plenty would like to make a late decision on whether to go, perhaps after the Middlesbrough game. 

Mind boggling. I was tempted to go but can't commit until later in the week. Looks like the decision has been made for me.

Won't this be a decision by Sheffield Wednesday not us?

No tickets on the day is a Sheff Wed decision (why this has become a thing across the division post Covid I’ve no idea when few games sell out), not being able to buy one for almost a week before the game (didn’t realise there were six bank holidays between the 23rd and 29th) is obviously ours.

Please explain why you would think that when Sheffield Wednesday are desperate for every penny.

Sheffield Wednesday won't have told us to take tickets off sale 6 days before the game.

It's because the whole club closes down at 4pm today and isn't back open until Tuesday the 30th, so they have taken the easy option of just taking them off sale.

It's pretty ridiculous, especially with it being a digital ticket game so nobody needs to get them in the post or collect them from Ewood.

Shut the club for a week to save some money

Hence why I thought it was Sheffield Wednesday decision
