FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Makes sense. I got my tickets from a Championship club. Their club secretary was allowed to request up to 10 tickets in either end.

Barry Fry sorted me out with four from Peterborough for the Stoke Final.

Had Club Wembley Man City section on them.

There's no barriers on the second or third tier, it's usually separated by netting.

I presume he means on the Concourses, which there are indeed barriers. These can be moved though, like for the semi I was in the last block sold, but there was one next to us unsold with netting inside on the seats and moveable barriers underneath on the concourse...

Unless we're getting a further tranche of tickets or some more appear on the planner, there are currently 877 left in total. Loads have shifted since 9 this morning

Unfortunately the FA is just a money cow
they dont care if by making tickets cheaper more people can afford tickets there not interesting if we sell out the tickets in three days because there affordable or sell out in ten days at their extortionate prices, in a nut shell if they sell out then they will justify the prices it's just marketing strategies by them, either dont go and make them reconsider pricing but they no that wont happen because of fans loyalty!

The argument is that if the last ticket sells 5 minutes before the event, then the pricing is perfect.
Tickets left unsold = too expensive
Tickets sold immediately on sale = too cheap

FA just after making as much money as possible. Not acting as custodians of the game. They spout the grassroots funding bollocks but we all know millions goes in the wrong pockets.

I'd say there won't be many left by the weekend.

You never used to get tickets allocated in Club Wembley. The 10 year season tickets that you could get when it first opened have now expired which is why this allocation is now available to clubs

When they had 10 year ticket holders these people when it came to a final had a choice. They could either activate their ticket to use themselves or put it up for sale at a price that they could set. This is 100% fact. Many people didn't renew the tickets so CW are left with thousands of seats to sell for each game. They now give a section to each club at a stupid price - this year they are £250.

 

[Abe Frohman]

839 left now

433 @ £250
406 @ £145

Fair play to the Blues that have snapped up the allocation at those prices this morning

We went to watch Uwe's Brentford the day before we played the Chelsea semi-final and met up with Uwe & their Chairman after they played Portsmouth. We made the final, obviously, so wrote him a cheeky letter and hey presto, 2 tickets - no bother.

Level 2 view must be decent enough though as level 5 is a fine view even in the cheap seats.

Im with you, sat all over Wembley and I wouldn't ever go lower, hard to get a good perspective for me... Was on the last row in one corner for the Rags semi, and the view for Yaya's goal was pretty good!!

 

[jimharri]

Just being nosey here. Where were the lower priced seats located; in the bottom tier, behind the goal, yeah? I paid £145 this morning for a seat in 103, roughly in line with the 18 yd line. Robbing cnuts.

Disgraceful that jim

Fuck all else available at that stage Carlos. A few £115 ones, but they were up in the gods. And some on level 2,but I didn't feel like shelling out £250!

 

[goatinho]

theres still 70 quid ones on there now

Level 5 were £45 at the top good view still and £70 from the tunnels to the concourse down as far as I know

Level 1 is shite for watching imho (was in for yaya semi and wasn't impressed) and most expensive

Simce have aways gone level 5 and opted for cheapest one for semi this time and view was as good as the next price level up so stuck with that this time.

 

[Marvin]

And £115. I was assuming all the seats had been added now that the FA Allocation had been transferred but they keep coming in in dribs and drabs.

If you have sales online, this is how it's going to be and we've been to countless games now at Wembley. It's just when there are apparently only 1,000 seats left and you know there are 5,000 people waiting their turn, you'd be gambling by waiting.

 

[urban genie]

115 and 90 for the pan lid isn't cheap :-/ and the views OK if you eat a lot carrots :)

Never saidnit was cheap, prices are a joke, i said the view must be ok as level 5 higher up is adecent view

 

[DavidChubs]

I wasn't having a go at you Genie, it was aimed at the GREEDY money grabbing bastards at the FA.

7 rows behind you. Didn't want to be right down at the front. If it's like the Emptihad it's hard to get a perspective on the far touchline when you're in the front rows on level 1.
