Wednesday night's torrential downpours put paid to two matches that were into the second half as Sheffield Wednesday against Wigan Athletic and Crawley Town against Bristol Rovers were abandoned.
The Owls fixture was the subject of a ticket promotion from the home club with adults able to attend for £10 and, although their customer charter allows them to levy a 50% charge for the rescheduled game, Wednesday will honour all tickets held as a'gesture of goodwill'.
Reasonably enough, the £10 offer is unlikely to be repeated when the match is replayed as that was done specifically to tie in with Christmas and the fact that Wednesday have another home game this weekend.
Crawley and Bristol Rovers will replay their FA Cup tie on 3rd round day and have reduced prices to £5 for adults and £3 for concessions. The club say this is due to FA guidelines as 75 minutes of the original fixture had been played. Anyone with a ticket stub from the game can also get £2 off food or drink in the ground.
Birmingham City's home game with the winner of the Crawley tie has now been put back to Tuesday 7 January and ticket prices for that game have been reduced to £10 for adults, £5 for students, over-65's and 13-18 year-olds with under-13's paying £1.
