Ticket sales suspended

Doncaster have had to suspend ticket sales for sundays play-off final due to the large number of Leeds fans and ticket touts who've gathered around The Keepmoat Stadium. Leeds fans have been getting tickets for the Donny section and it's caused security problems.

Surely the best thing to do was to give Donny the number of tickets the club want and then let Leeds sell the rest. Instead there'll be Leeds fans mingled with Donny fans and then loads of empty seats because they can't sell all 36,000 tickets.

doncaster asked for 30000 with 5000 in reserve, so league had to split them equally at 36000 each.

Out of those 30,000 they've managed to sell 22,000 and quite a lot of touts have got them from the Keepmoat.

I can't get a ticket, i've got an offer of just one but my lads wouldn't talk to me again if i went without them. I swapped a shift at work to go, knowing i could watch it on tv, but my mate has had to go up Scotland at short notice. That means i'm working on sunday

What a shame Beefy. It's probably been posted on here but how were the tickets allocated to the Leeds fans? As you say, it's unlikely that Donny will sell their full allocation - totally bonkers.

Both clubs have been given 36,000 tickets each. Leeds sold theirs in 3 days to Season ticket holders and members. The tickets at Leeds never went on sale to the general public because they'd gone, some Leeds fans have been going to Doncaster to get them, but there's a big following of Leeds fans in Doncaster. Doncaster themselves have sold 22,000 and have had to stop selling them now in case they get in the wrong hands.

What on earth made Donny think they'd sell 36,000 tickets? (no disrespect to Doncaster)

I don't think Donny asked for that many to be fair, it's just the Football League rules
