But now this latest statement regarding 10 year season tickets have wound up fans even more – though it’s not to say that some feel it’s a good offer if you can afford, the reality is that a lot of supporters have been left priced out and can’t afford season tickets for for the new season alone…

CLUB STATEMENT:
The Owls are delighted to relaunch an additional strand to the 10-Year Season Ticket which offers supporters a free Season Ticket while ever we are outside the Premier League.
Since our Multi-Year Season Ticket launch earlier this week, a number of fans purchasing have requested the opportunity to buy a 10-year option as previously offered, so we are pleased to give Wednesdayites another chance to take up this unique offering.
The 10-Year Season Ticket will also begin from the 2024/25 season alongside Multi-Year Season Tickets.
The concept is simple: purchase a 10-Year Season Ticket but the years don’t actually begin to count down until the Owls reach the Premier League. So every year outside of the Premier League is free until Wednesday achieve top flight status.
For example, if the Owls are promoted in six years’ time, 10-Year Season Ticket holders will have accumulated six seasons before the 10-year package has even commenced and therefore receive a total of 16 years.
What’s more, should we be promoted this season, subscribers will receive an additional two years free. Should we gain promotion the following season, an additional one year will be given, meaning those who purchase are guaranteed a minimum of 12 years included.
All things considered, the 10-Year Season Ticket offers savings of unprecedented proportions.
This unique offer is on sale tomorrow for adult supporters only and available on a limited basis, with a deadline of Monday 31 July.
PRICES
Kop – £5,500
North/Grandstand – £7,000
South Stand – £8,000
Supporters should note that as with Multi Year Season Tickets, due to financial regulations for credit card purchases against such products, unfortunately we are unable to accept credit/debit card payments for 10-Year Season Tickets.
10-Year Season Tickets will be on sale at the Ticket Office only from 10:00am on Friday, with payments by bank transfer, cash, cheque or by consulting the Ticket Office. Ticket credits can also be offset towards a 10-Year Season Ticket.
Supporters who purchased a Multi-Year Season Ticket earlier this week and wish to upgrade to a 10-Year Season Ticket can do so by visiting the Ticket Office and paying the difference.
Thank you, as always, for your support.

December 2020 – The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) are called in to offer advice to the players after the club failed to pay them on time. Financial director John Redgate speaks to the players on Zoom, assuring them they will be paid in full their outstanding money for November and December.
January 2021 – Some players did not receive their wages in full for January and had their salaries capped at £7,000.
May 2021 – Several senior Wednesday players are reportedly considering handing in their two-week period of written notice due to the ongoing situation at the club regarding unpaid wages.
Sheffield Wednesday fans react as Chansiri relaunches the 10-year season tickets…
@nanjayman: I wish Chansiri would just give it a rest. Just have an early bird ST, then a normal priced one. Same with matchday tickets, just 2 or 3 categories.
@anders_blades: The Premier return ticket has lasted for over 20 years
@ChrisSWFC92: The club really need to look at how it worked out for Bradford City and their 20 year ticket offering in around 2000. It didn’t end well for them.
@deanrowdingswfc: People can’t afford to pay £700 for a ST so let’s offer em a 10 year un at 7 grand instead we’d make a killing letting Netflix behind the scenes
@iballmunki1: In the back of my head we are really skint like borderline bust and this is a way of generating some cash? Please feel free to put my mind at ease 🤔😅
@DavidLeeFitzy16:
He really is taking the piss now 🤣
Cash in hand or BANK TRANSFER 😭
@HullCity1975: The owner won’t be at Sheffield Wednesday in 10 years. Looks like he’s trying get as much money as possible before he does one
@ToddSiddons: Am I wrong but didn’t he say if it was up to him he wouldn’t have season tickets? And then pops out 10 year ones days later? If it’s a cash injection he needs, he needs to start building a board with investors and not trying to be a one man band if he needs a cash injection 🦉
@Sparky196726: He’s taking your money and running
@Owls1412: 1001 ways to think of how to get more money out of the fans/customers….. the way the club is being run I would not commit to anything longer than one season at the minute. Nothing to do with the price either just don’t trust what he is doing…..
@Joe_1867: Yep we’re skint
@leadenhamowl: Most people can only just afford a 1 season ticket how can a 10 year expect to sell. Insane.
@DaveStoneface: Have we signed anyone yet 🤔
@keiron1972: The way DC is running the club we’ll be lucky to have a club in 10yrs! 😜
@ShaneLevitt11: If you can afford it, probably got a season ticket for life which means it’s great but it just feels crass tbh for fans that can’t. The morale is rock bottom at least in the fanbase
@scotthinch: I’m not interested in a 10 match one at this stage
@ashda32: Dont have the cash to pay for one year in full 🤣
@bvb09destroyer: Chansiri – PLEASE NEVER LEAVE!! 🤣
@Cubadsmith: Very worrying
@WednesdayOwen: Not one person going to buy one 🤣🤣
@joeswfc17: Hold on lads let me just remortgage me house for that one
@owl87: People can’t afford to put the heating on, yet he thinks they can afford £5500 😂 it’s soo out of touch with reality it’s untrue. What Southampton have done with their away tickets only highlights the/our problem even more. I’m Not mad, I’m disappointed 😏
@JoshCarson1867: Suggests we are skint and looking for anything to boost cash flow. Does any other club have a ticketing strategy like this?
@Richardwalsh21: So out of touch with the supporters It’s embarrassing. Bet 60% of the people that fill that ground each week are on or around minimum wage. Huge prices.. not a player through the door. No pies on the north stand 🥧
@DaveSwfcBolton: The deal is very appealing. But the club does need to make a statement regarding the consequences of any future change in ownership or financial collapse (administration). I think Bradford did something similar and had a right job getting the new owners to honour them after admin
@Easysteve30: Ask them where the refund is for the last one please Rob. They promised to buy back each year it overlapped with the 3/5 year multi tickets. Not seen a penny
Cash only 😬 pic.twitter.com/ncOKtUTwgU
