League Cup final tickets

Well I've managed to speak to a different person in the ticket office and they will send a print yourself ticket afterall, so it'll only cost me £40 or whatever a cheap inkjet costs these days. Not very environmentally friendly but better than a 7 hour train trip :-)
are you far from Manchester?
 
Doubt I could find one open on a Saturday afternoon/early evening and without sounding thick what could I do at the post office to help? I've not been in a post office for about 10 years do they do printing and stuff these days?

A fair few newsagents will be able to do so as well.

I think you said you had a hotel booked? Maybe they'll do it for you?
 
As of 9am today, we have sold 34,286 of our 34,854 allocation (98% sold)
568 left

Level 1.........SOLD OUT

Level 2.......568.....(£125 to £150 per ticket!)

Level 5.......SOLD OUT

It won't sell out now, but nevertheless a great contingent and due to the odd allocation by Wembley, we are bringing about a 1000 more than Aston Villa. Do not know why Villa didn't get 34,854 too though

The only barrier to this perhaps not selling out is the extortionate price of those Level 2 tickets. When some tickets have been appearing back on the planner in the cheaper price categories this week, they've been getting snapped up straight away - even the £90 ones - but £125/£150 tickets with no concessions are a step too far for many fans, especially as this is our 5th League Cup final in 7 seasons, and our 8th domestic cup final at Wembley in less than 9 years. In contrast, this is Villa's 11th domestic cup final at Wembley since the stadium opened 97 years ago in 1923 (before anyone pulls me up and says it's 13, their 2 early League Cup final appearances in 1961 and 1963 were played over 2 legs on a home and away basis). As you say, we were given about 1200 more tickets than them anyway, and someone reckoned the most expensive tickets they were given were priced at £100 so maybe they weren't even given any Level 2 tickets at their side of the ground.
 
I am away with work this week and flying into London Saturday, instead of an afternoon check in I am supposed to spend Saturday travelling home to collect tickets that will definitely arrive tomorrow and then travel to Wembley on Sunday. £120 train extra £90 hotel I can’t use, thanks a fucking bunch ticket office.
That is sooo annoying. We decided to travel down on the day instead of making a few days of it for exactly the same reason. When we did Club Wembley for the Stoke match we had the tickets delivered before they even went on sale at City.

It’s also likely that some City fans who can afford the £125/£150 tickets will have already managed to get tickets for corporate sections. There’ll be more than 35,000 City fans in the stadium.
