Will we sell out?

[Berkshire Blade]

literally 2 rows from the back where I am. Got tickets 20 minutes after they went on sale.

I can't be arsed changing though. I have sat on the bottom tier before and the front of the top so it'll be a new view for me!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

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!

You wonnt need shade on Sat..you will need a packamac.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

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

It's just tickets falling out of baskets after an hour. People considering their options. By the way, ticket office said to me that tickets are going out tonight or tomorrow when I dropped in this morning.

Yes. No roof on that side.

Somebody may have already spotted this, but 206 appears to be open now.

Crazy. Whoever runs the TO better get Bettis on the phone quickly to have him complain to Wembley. What a farce.

There is a work around in the system, speaking for experience, but waited until I exploited it before posting, its not that hard to work out.

If you are waiting for a block to open and the previous block is down to the last few tickets.

Logon and select them all, no restriction on how many you can have in your basket, then the next block opens, select your seats in the next block and remove the seats you don’t want.

Purchase as usual.

Works well if you want seats together but the previous block only has single seats left.

More Club Wembley seats, it seems - CW seats are blocks 202-213 and 240-251

 

[Wilder-bout Chris]

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

Sat behind me and Mrs , were row 2 101/102

 

[reedy63]

Blocks- 103-104-105-116- 118 all have one tick left.
block-119-4-block121-8-block 122-3-block123-7-block 205-26 block 222-4 block223-8 block 512-30 aprox block 523-17.
Some are club Wembley seats, which offer a great view everywhere in that tier. Of course, the tickets available change minute by minute.
More blocks could open. I am guessing that we have sold just over 34k, great effort, Bladefans.
Let's get sold out as soon as possible. Get your tickets as soon as you can.
Back the Red and White wizards roar them to victory, UTB.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

You wonnt need shade on Sat..you will need a packamac.

Other side fans will be bringing a packamackum

 

[Ranmoorblade]

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

Ticket office must be wrong then.

 

[LBA_Blade]

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.

Clearly puts the bit on the official website a bit redundant - Once tickets have been purchased, they cannot be moved, amended or refunded.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

How are people managing to get through to the Ticket Office?

I'm calling 0114 253 7200, and it just keeps coming back 'line busy.' I'm not even added to the back of a queue.

Keep at it. It was the same for me. Eventually you get through and you might be told all lines busy try again later. Took me a few tries to get 12th.

Agree, it should say once tickets have been issued.

The chap in the TO tried to make me feel a little guilty with a "you're just in time" comment but I refunded 2 and changed my other 2.

This means anyone leaving until last minute getting the better seats

Provided they haven't bought one yet.

Once your actual tickets have been issued you won't be able to change them.

But I agree it's been a semi-shit show brought on through a total lack of transparency from Wembley and/or SU TO.

 

[Hblockblade]

Get em snapped up

 

[FTPE]

This is soooooo confusing.
Can someone just ask the club, the fans board or the ticket office?

 

[Davalon]

Can I ask what the motivation is for those seemingly spending most of their day monitoring how many tickets are available in each block?

I guess many of us have at least some interest in how sales are going and some will still be looking to buy or swap a ticket but.......

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

So the Wembley club tickets aren't counted in our allocation?

I’ve had the same problem for a few days, keep getting told to call back later or the line is busy.

 

[LBA_Blade]

I have had that before, I think there is only capacity for so many calls like 15 or something so it will keep coming up with an engaged tone until there is space to get you in.

Yeah, that's right. Might be a bit strange having two blocks of Blades fans, not directly next to other blocks of Blades fans, in what is a bit of a neutral area. I know when hospitality companies have been selling those seats, they've marketed them as in a Sheffield United area but guessing their checks might not have been too rigorous? Wouldn't be a huge surprise if there are Sunderland fans in and around there.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can’t have been. They’d have gone on sale first if being sold north to south.

 

[VictoryBlade]

I suppose the Blades ticket office will get it in the neck again ! even though Wembley themselves are running this shit show.
Typical London attitude just want ya money.
Years ago while waiting for the coach back after a match in london(Kings cross) a pub there was selling beer to kids as young as 14 ! It had a sales window open ! Just walk up pay your money and walk away with the booze ! Yes young kids and not one copper around !! They didn't care a toss.
Give us the money.
Old Trafford was the best place I've been to for a semi-final. and would be great for a final.
Clubs and pubs strictly segregated for each club ! Get pissed in peace without being fleeced.
Them times have gone! What a shame!!!.

But if Man U get a new stadium could be game on!
