    Will Wednesday fans sitting in the West Stand lower be paying £20 like those in the North Stand or will they be paying £21 like reds fans sitting in West Stand lower?

    Are we losing revenue and charging our own fans more? Hope not!

    it will be £21 I would imagine

    it's against the rules to charge away fans less than home for comparable (is that spelt right? who knows) seats so i'd imagine the same rule applies the other way too

    Owls website has one price for adult tickets £20 and doesn`t state where seated.

    It's got to be in comparable parts of the ground so it will be the same price as Ponty.

    Think this got raised against QPR where there were cheaper tickets for their supporters but in a different view to the pitch.

    It's not

    It's against the rules to charge away fans more than home fans for comparable seats, but it's fine if you want to charge them less.

    cheers for clearing that up Jay

    yet another crazy rule by the FL/FA then. It's not ok to rip off away fans but you can rip off your own fans as much as you want

    Yes North Stand and Ponty £20.

    But East Stand Lower and West Stand Lower for Reds £21. Are Owls paying £21 or £20 for West stand Lower?

    we seem to enjoy turning oakwell into hilssbrough for them

    Have their fans sit on top of the changing rooms so it is all they can hear while getting ready, surround the tunnel with their fans so they are all they can see whilst waiting to come out of the pitch and have them run out between them.

    Excellent, we might as well just do what we did for Man City and rebrand the stadium with their logo's for the match.

    We aren't going to turn their cash down though are we ...

    .... when we can't sell the seats to our own fans? It's probably another £20,000 in our coffers.

    At the end of the day it's what happens on the pitch that matters, not who is sitting nearest the tunnel

    ddin't we only get something like 3 points from 15 last season (or season before)

    when we gave the away fans the west stand? Had we been relegated because of those points thrown away it would cost far more than the temporary gain.

    Wednesday get charged £21 IF they are given west stand seats! They have been every over season & they have to get charged this!

    But they haven't even sold out the north yet so I think it might just be the north for them this season! The folws are more concerned about the Sheff utd game at the moment, I reckon with 25-3000 owls being at Hillsborough on Sunday, a lot of people will buy tickets before the game!

    A few more might then buy some on Monday, even more so if they win! Maybe we will drive over with some West stand tickets on Monday if they stuff Sheff Utd :D

    Not sure we can blame the lack of points ............

    ........ on the seating arrangements, more like we were ***** in the big games/local derbies

    hope they are paying £21. Costs them more then to sit in the open with **** facilities than those in North Stand seems strange that.
