Last time i looked at the Sheff Weds tickets they had a handful left in the next to end block in the upper tier.

I know the online sales often throw up red herrings when it comes to guessing how many sold but if that was correct they'll only have one block left to sell.

I'm of the opinion they've suspended sales because they don't want to be made to pay for a full extra allocation of 500/1000 in the lower.

Obviously Wednesday would want to sell as many as possible so why they'd insist that i don't know but football clubs are strange things often run by clueless people.

And they need money.

It's the only reason i can think of to stop sales, initial allocation almost sold.

Away tickets are supplied on a sale or return basis so it can’t be that.

Not always they weren't unless there's been a rule brought in.

Don’t know how long it’s been a rule but it definitely is now:

I noticed Hull sold the entire away end out today, top and bottom tiers.

Interesting, i wonder how it might apply to initial allocations then if you request more ?

In this case the club are being run by administrators and it would be understandable if they said 'look if you want more we have to open up the whole lower tier and we can't afford that for the sake of a couple of hundred tickets out of a possible 1000'.

Then again it's probably just the dicks that run Rovers thinking ok we've sold enough for there we wan't people spending on home tickets instead !

There is guidance to the relevant regulation which states both clubs must act reasonably when agreeing upon the final allocation.

I think your hypothetical position from their administrators would count as such (subject to it not breaching the minimum 2,000 ticket requirement).

Your final paragraph does feel like the most likely explanation of what’s actually happened!

I bet hull didn't take there allocation off sale 6 days before the game!
