Wembley Details

All the details here.

Tickets on sale tomorrow for ST holders. 2 per ST holder. All online or phone. But print at home only.

Thus far I've seen a flood of complaints about - booking fees, print at home only, coach prices, maximum of 9 tickets per transaction, trains, Neil Hart.

Some things never change eh?

Aye, complaining's always louder than contentment.

Reading those comments it would appear that they are some of the same mongalongs that come to the Xmas event I help organise. We sell anywhere between 25k - 32k tickets every year and we get the same moronic and gormless questions/statements.

It’s clear to me many of these people haven’t done much in the real world in over a decade. The coach costs £52.

Which sounds expensive if you are living in 2005. But for 2023 it’s not bad. Cost of fuel and parking and wages etc.

The comments and moaning I’ve seen online are absolute nonsense! There’s a train strike on the Saturday, coach prices seem about right to me! Or drive!

Two for one ST so you can bring the wife/pal/someone else’s wife, buy up to 9, all looks sensible given allocation v attendances.

So I’m here saying looks good, bring it on!

Some of the complaints have been ridiculous. "I want to buy sixteen tickets all sitting together, and it's Neil Hart's fault I can't, just cos I want to take my cousin's boyfriend's sister's son who's never been to a match before - it's like they're trying to stop us getting new fans!"

The thing about that is there is an interactive ticket map. If you really need 20 tickets together it’s not beyond the wit of man to achieve it. Wait for initial sales to die down, arrange for three people with appropriate season tickets to login and buy tickets in a coordinated way.

It’s pretty obvious why Ticketmaster limit sales on each transaction. No doubt if there was no limit and the best tickets were scalped immediately then there’d be complaints about that too.

I hope Ticket Master have improved since the 1999 & 2004 fiasco. We've so many this time, everyone who wants one should be able to get sorted.

Ticket Master had the gig for selling the Watford play off tickets. Day 1 on sale to STH only, they sold them to whoever rang up, no checks, ST details requested or owt. They repeated the error in 2004 but then the club fecked up then too.

£2.50 per ticket transaction plus £1.50 per ticket for you to print at home........so an extra £4 per ticket for them not to do anything other than take your order.......

Gotta love Ticketmaster.

As for those complaining......... imagine how bad it'll get if we make the play off finals.........:)

Its nice to have a seating map and real choice for this. Remember the old days and you ended up where you ended up!

Crazy how many complaints there are. You can very easily now buy a whole bunch of tickets together (if you have enough STs) absolutely no issue.

Other than the coach booking option not appearing initially, it's all been pretty smooth sailing here. Picked the secrion I wanted, four tickets, had my 2nd ST holder in my network, assigned tickets three and four to them, job done.

Don't understand the issues some people are having.

13 of us booked onto one of 6 coaches (so far) from the Shamrock in Walkden - A very reasonable £38 per head and tickets booked this morning

Cannot wait!!!
