Will we sell out?

Clearly got too much time on my hands and bored

Don’t worry about it. You’re doing a great job… so we don’t have to

Keep up the good work. You can quickly tell exactly how many are in a block by changing the "number of seats" you want until the block greys out. So 171 for block 524

Thanks for the tip. I emailed them & they replied straight away. I’d actually got plenty of historic points but they weren’t showing up on my profile for some reason. All sorted now, got 2 tickets.

No worries pal.. Glad your sorted

 

[Blade58]

I have had a look to see how many tickets are left, approximately 150 left in block 524-4 category.
Block 103-3- block110 safe standing 2. block 122-1.block 502-1.block508-1.block 509-2.in blocks 510-511-520-1 left.
block520-1.block 521-4.block522-2. around 172 tickets left. I think all blocks are open. But a lot of blocks sold out..
We are close to a sellout. Not sure if we can get more tickets, so best be quick to get your seat/seats.
Brilliant Blades Fans that egg in the face of those Deluded wendyites.

Looks like around 170 seats left unless more blocks open up may as well say it will sell out over the weekend.

They've shut the f**k up about us only selling 20,000 tickets now, in fact nobody's mentioning the ticket sales now.

True but surely talking about our own support going to a play off final is normal forum debate is it not?

Why can you call Alan a cunt on here, but not say f**k without getting a warning?

This isn’t about another club’s attendances.

Only if you’re obsessed…

Did you get a warning pal?

 

[jt64]

Did you get a warning pal?

Yes, and I fucking ignored it

Given the barbs, I think it’s just of interest.
Would I be gutted if we didn’t sell out? Nope.
Am I interested now we’re only a couple or thousand away? Sure.

So everybody who calls Alan a cunt gets a warning then ?

It’ll revert to how they took 40,50,60 thousand when they were last there with people flying in from all four corners of the globe.

It’s closed for the weekend. Thanks for replying, we are desperate

I’ve just got mine, on line no need to phone ticket office. See you are sorted now. Excellent

 

[Lightsoot]

Anyone got two spare tickets available PLEASE!

Yes, together in block 503 BUT they are for an adult & young adult aged 17-20

I think you're right. Loads of season ticket holders aren't going this time around and we're still going to sell over 32,000. I don't think these sort of games give you an accurate estimate of how many fans you have as smaller clubs often double their crowds at these sort ot events but seeing as this is our 6th Wembley trip in 15 years I think you can make a better guess with us.

We're looking at 35-37,000 being the max for us as a club right now I think. If we ever actually achieved something like European football I think that's the ballpark we are looking at in terms of what we could attract week in, week out.

We've made huge strides in the last 20 years. Hopefully we win and keep building

European football????, yeah right, that'd be a laugh, our fans won't stop moaning about the cost of a game in London

The ticket selling process this time has been much better than recent big games (Man City FA Cup semi-final, Leeds at home and playoff semi-final at home this year) purely because we've allowed two tickets per customer number instead of one. If this rule had been in place for the other games I mentioned, we'd have sold out or come much closer to doing so. The same draconian one ticket per customer number rule (plus a loyalty points restriction) is why we didn't even sell out our first game back in the Premier League against Crystal Palace in 2019, and I was able to get a ticket the day before the game.

From what the club has posted, it seems like this time it was the EFL insisting on the one ticket per customer number plus loyalty points rule. I'd guess this is a punishment for previous crowd issues. If so I'm glad they have now relaxed their stance.

I think if this system is continued in the future (two tickets per customer number, after a window of exclusivity for season ticket holders) it is a fair and reasonable way to sell tickets which is appropriate for the size of our fan base (for home matches, as well as for Wembley games). It will ensure that committed fans are able to get tickets while also giving us the ability to sell out matches and provide the support the team deserves. Other clubs may have large enough fan bases to shift 35,000 tickets on a one ticket per customer number basis, but that's not us currently.

I think there are a few points to improve the current system which, had they been in place for this match, would've ensured we'd already sold out by this stage while providing a better experience for fans.

1. Two tickets per customer number communicated before the start of general sale, rather than originally saying one ticket per customer number and then changing when sales had already started- I know a few groups who bought fewer tickets than they wanted because of this and now won't buy extra because the website says tickets can't be ammended and the extra people won't go to Wembley to sit on their own.
   
   
2. The website says that tickets can't be ammended once sold, but this isn't true- it's possible to ammend tickets by ringing the ticket office until the tickets have been posted. If the club was communicating this then more people would switch seats and add people to their group.
   
   
3. Opening blocks earlier- again, some groups I know bought fewer tickets than they wanted because they couldn't get seats together, only for an entire new block to open after they'd already bought the tickets.
   
   
4. Make the website more user friendly- I thought the game was sold out yesterday because the website told me that tickets for the match were unavailable. It turned out this was because I wasn't logged in. Friends messaged me saying the same.

I'm not on any fan advisory groups but would be happy to contribute, and I'd be grateful to those who are involved if they could pass my thoughts along.

Absolutely, the starting point of 200 points after season ticket holders is exactly the right thing to do.

Under previous regimes we'd be selling to 60,000 first day, 50,000 second day and today 40,000 loyalty points holders, and by now and we'd have sold about 11 tickets

Cos your 1st statement is a fact.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Seriously? At which point do you shut the fuck up with your continually disproven nonsense?

We won't sell 30k
The organisation levels of both our club and our dopey fans will see to that

Not sure pal but got one anyway.
