Meanwhile tickets for the Reds tie with Chelsea will go on sale on Thursday 21st February 2008 and there is a £4 increase for adults on normal matchday prices at Oakwell.
Prices below:
Adults - £25.00
Senior Citizens (60 and Over) - £15.00
Juveniles (15 and under) - £15.00
Tickets will be available for Barnsley supporters in all areas of Oakwell Stadium except the North Stand.
Barnsley Football Club examined the possibility of giving Chelsea supporters tickets in the West Stand which would have allowed Barnsley fans to sit in the North Stand. However, the capacity of the West Stand Lower would not have fulfilled the Football Association's regulations regarding ticket distribution and would have necessitated moving around 300 season ticket holders. Following discussions with South Yorkshire Police regarding safety and segregation it has been decided that Chelsea supporters will be seated in the North Stand.
Tickets will go on sale to season ticket holders and Oakwell Centenary Society Members ONLY at 9.00am on Thursday February 21, 2008.

Please note: Season ticket holders and Oakwell Centenary Society Members have between Thursday February 21 and close of business (3.00pm) on Saturday March 1, 2008, to secure their own seat for the game meaning there is no immediate need to rush for tickets.
