Will we sell out?

[Hblockblade]

What we sold up to now?

33856 at a guess

 

[Sheffsteel]

Segregation should be half of 526 and half of 527
As it stands it is going to end up being 525 which means Sunderland will get 526 and 527

We’ve sold some tickets in 525 as they gave us a small block there.
I assumed at the time that this means Wembley are planning to put netting over the rest of 525
And then they can give Sunderland the 835 extra seats in block 526.

You can tell they want to give Sunderland the extra seats in 526 becuase they are desperately trying to activate seats to us that are in the neutral areas.

It now makes it impossible to know how many we’ve sold now and the number of tickets left.
Pretty sure Sunderland will be given 835 of our tickets, however we might still sell out as it appears we’re being given extra tickets in the neutral areas.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Still no tickets sent cannot get through on phone ( live away )

Probably due to people calling to ask when the emails with the tickets are going out.
Earlier in the thread it was suggested Tuesday. It’s Monday at 10.20pm.

Tickets are like gold dust now on Wearside, it's a far cry from the league one final when we beat Wycombe, we had over 47,000 fans on that day.

Despite it being impossible you keep having a stab at it.

If Sunderland can flog 835 seats we probably won’t, doesn’t it make sense for Wembley to let them have them?

Agree…it seems to be around 33.5K yesterday afternoon…so will be close to 34K now

But as mentioned…..it’s become almost impossible to guess….due to banks of previuosly sold tickets suddenly become available
And then the batch of tickets being sold to our fans that are in the neutral section.

It reminds me of our ticket sales at Bramall Lane…..when we’re down to the last 20 tickets.
Then suddenly a block of 100 seats are put on sale in the bottom corner of the South stand.
Then it’s eventually announced as a total sell out but the attendance is 1000 below the official capacity.

Totally agree…don’t blame Wembley….they try to be neutral and keep both sets of fans happy with the 50/50 split
But they’ll want to fill the stadium but need to be mindful of segregation…..so they’ll currently have a plan where they want to move the segregation netting.
I expect Sunderland to receive an extra allocation of 835 tickets, when given block 526.

Now sure what’s happening with block 527.
Our plan shows we have/ had half of it but the Sunderland seating plan show the whole of 527 belongs to them.

Not at all, Wycombe sold as many as they possibly could, we got what they couldn't sell, it's as simple as that.

You are a powerful powerful football club and I can only take my hat off to you

It's probably a help being a one city club, it's just normal jogging to me, as I've been going since I was six, the only real rivalry for me is the skunks up the road.

Congratulations on coining ‘Beheadie Howe’ btw. That’s really good

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Dunno how it's went your end re tickets, been a bit of a calamity from our end, people able to buy tickets without the correct permissions last Wednesday (non season ticket holders ) they've all been cancelled now, after the site was taken down and tickets taken off sale whilst it was rectified.

Always an expensive day out, for me £82 match ticket, £175 train ticket and £220 for one night in a central London hotel.

Whoah, hold on fella .
Don't be coming on here making out yours has been a bigger shambles. That's the proud claim of some of our posters. They'll be in with stats later to back it up.
It also ruins their other grumble that you were selling cheap tickets a week before us.

 

[BladeByChoice]

Sunderland have a similar thread on their forum.
It goes like this.

Post 1: 9AM, tickets on sale
Post 2: 9:01AM, will we sell out
Post3: 9:02AM, yes
Post4: 9:15AM, Wembley sold out, thread closed.



Qualtity not quantity UTFB

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Just been on looking to swap tickets but my son seems happy to stay in the nosebleeds, but ridiculous way they’re releasing the tickets, as I said earlier I panicked and brought 2 tickets that had a seat in between just so we had them secured, would happily have paid more as well but here we are

Just wait for the tickets to arrive in your inbox how hard is it.

It’s not like everyone else has got them and you’re the only one missing out, they just haven’t been sent yet.

There are posts on here saying what the ticket office has said.

 

[UTB]

Just been onto the ticket office gone from block 506 to block 119 I’m an additional £147 notes lighter for all 3 tickets, took two minutes to sort well played ticket office

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

My cousins have moved from up in the gods to 205 row 3 seats 102/103

 

[Winchester_Blade]

Yup, ticket office really helpful in moving tickets from various blocks to get family all together. I'm hoping my move from block 105 to 205 is a bit more in the shade!

 

[Pikey's Shot at Blackpool]

My cousins have moved from up in the gods to 205 row 3 seats 102/103

just worked for me, ticket office were fantastic and very reassuring

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Many left in 205 I’m tempted to move to there?

That is, provided it is a simple job of shifting some netting and that there are no segregation issues below the stands. We don't know whether they can do this for an individual block. We'll see in the next few days, I guess

grow up just concerned, how hard is it top be polite and considerate of fellow blades

I think they can put it pretty much anywhere they like, just attach it to the back of 525 apart from the quarter of 525 that we've got and then give Sunderland 526.
But it has a weird non symmetrical look to it.
Our fans can buy tickets in section 123 at the front which extends beyond halfway, but we haven't quite reached the half way point at the back with only a quarter of section 525 sold.

Section 205 has gone from having 23 tickets left to 45 tickets left, to 27 tickets left, to 44 tickets left, all in the last two minutes
Section 116 has three tickets left but it is only showing down as far as row 28, does that mean the 27 lower rows are sold, or does it mean that they're going to suddenly appear out of nowhere as well

 

[thehet]

Just called the ticket office.
Once you're able to get through (was P12 to start with) you can get your seats changed to any that are available (but not if they are being held in baskets, the TO can't see them).
You can also get refunds.

Clearly been inundated as it took him all of 2 mins to sort me out.

 

[RecordBreakers]

That’s incorrect.

We were allocated just over 35.5K.

So where are the other 4,000 seats?
Section 525 holds 1,118 seats
Section 526 is smaller as the TV gantry is there and it hold 832 seats.
Then there about 50 seats left in the other sections.

So that’s about 2K tickets left

Means we’ve sold 33.5K to date.

Incorrect 32,284k
