Sheffield United: No more season tickets available to watch Blades in Premier League as chief executive admits club have been "overwhelmed" by response

Bettis confirmed that no more season tickets will be available for purchase at Bramall Lane, with the club forced to hold back a percentage of seats for fans paying on the day.

"We have been overwhelmed with the response to our season ticket campaign and we will be supported by record numbers in the Premier League in 2019/20,” Bettis said.

"Our fans took advantage of the five-week period when tickets were on sale and a number of issues prevent us from selling further season tickets, we've had to undertake extensive building work at Bramall Lane to adhere to Premier League requirements and unfortunately a number of seats have been lost.

"We have to keep back a percentage of seats for visiting supporters and matchday sales and we hope the new membership packages will enable a number of fans who haven't purchased a season ticket to still watch the Blades in the top flight."
