Revealed: Sheffield Wednesday’s ticket allocation for bumper Barnsley clash as thousands seek entry

The Owls will almost certainly sell out their allocation for the South Yorkshire derby set for March 21st, with thousands of Wednesdayites set to descend on Oakwell for the 8pm kick off.

It was confirmed on Friday that Wednesday’s full allocation for the all-ticket game is 4,635 - and there is expected to be close to a full house in Barnsley as the Reds also continue their push for promotion up out of League One.

Ticket sales will begin on Monday at 9am.

Wednesday will be hoping to still be top of the table by the time that games rolls around in a few weeks’ time, while Barnsley are currently sixth and six points clear of seventh placed Wycombe Wanderers.

Like the Owls, Michael Duff’s side also have at least one game in hand on those around them, and there could be plenty on the line when over 20,000 make the trip to S71 as Darren Moore’s side seek revenge for the 2-0 defeat at Hillsborough earlier in the season.
