Sheffield United reveal refund options for ticket and season ticket holders with season set to play out behind closed doors

No fans will be able to watch the Blades at Bramall Lane for the rest of the season, because of the coronavirus pandemic.

And the club today revealed that season tickets will be issued a pro-rata credit for the remaining four games, towards their season ticket for 2020/21. That pass will also be offered at the pro-rata price of a 2019/20 season ticket, subject to conditions.

Any season ticket holder who wishes to request a refund rather than credit can do so by emailing [email protected].

Fans who bought a match ticket for Newcastle away, Tottenham Hotspur at home or the FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal can request full refunds, or receive a gift card for the club superstore - with an extra 10 per cent off, if used before the end of July.

"Please note that as our offices remain closed, we are unable to receive incoming phone calls and we politely ask that supporters are patient and wait for our ticket office staff to contact them," a club statement said.

"Details of how supporters can choose their preferred refund option will follow in due course."

The season ticket credit will be automatically applied at renewal stage, so no action is required to ensure fans receive it.

"Not only will this guarantee your seat for when supporters are allowed to return to Bramall Lane," the statement added, "but to demonstrate our value of your loyal support, your 2020/21 renewal will be offered at the pro-rata 2019/20 season ticket prices.

"Details for 2020/21 season tickets will be communicated by the club when there is more information and guidance from government and the Premier League to allow supporters to once again safely attend the stadium."
