Well about 15k seats are club wembley which have already had a large up take so if all were to sell out, ie Carlisle 26k, Saints 44k and Club Wembley 10K - thats 85k - also there is a quantity of football league "commercial interests" tickets for JPT, other sponsors etc. so expect 85k-88k - there won't be 25k empty seats for segregation!!!

 

Some strange adding up there.

I know of quite a few Saints Fans who have got hold of Club Wembley seats we will have well over 46000 fans on the day I reckon.

How they manage that? Paid over the odds for them or just through "contacts"

What is the magic number? Is it the 0800 or the local one (and what is that?)

 

Cheers

 

3 is the magic number. But 01271 335708 is even more special.

I got them through contacts, not sure how others got them, but I'd assume the same way.

 

It's at time like these i wish i had "contacts"

Hopefully there will be some left on Weds, i only want 2 tickets...

 

If as it seems likely there are going to be many fans left unable to get tickets. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy tickets in the neutral section? If so how...

 

Thanks

 

 

Too much for my wallet, but might be of interest to some. (ignore the fact it says Saracens it does link to JPT final).

 

It all looks above board.

24k + 44k + 10k = 78k

 

Not the 88k you said...

 

It was a rough est which is as follows

 

44k Saints + 26k Carlisle + 15k Club Wembley (i had miss typed to 10k but if your read the first part you'd have seen 15k)..... and the few commercial tickets the football league have...... Did I say 88k? NO, i said expect 85k-88k, further making the point that there won't be 25k empty seats. ffs, how the **** would i know that there would be 88k? it was a bloody est.

Couldn't agree more. The club knew demand would be high.

 

TBH they are damned if they do, damned if they don't - but they should have made it one ticket per ST holder first, then Area Final, then restricted sale (one extra for ST holders and database). General sale should have followed then.

 

Where they went wrong was allowing more than one per person at the first stages along with the issues over the online system - you had people on here bragging about how many they got on one database or ST number.

 

Crazy.

 

If we're going to be successful, they need to improve on this.

neither. you just ring up wembley and ask for them. the jpt isnt included in the package for club wembley, hence why they are available on an open basis for this game

Everyone who really wanted to go had the opportunity to buy a ticket for either MK Dons at home or away. This guarenteed a final ticket. Those who miss out (and not many will) will only have themselves to blame.

it is interesting that when I phoned the ticket hotline today it said there would be a booking fee of 1.50. When ibought tickets it was £3 per ticket. So much for the fans charter and we wouldnt be overcharged etc.

There will though roughly be 20k empty seats.

 

Carlisle have an allocation of 24k not 26k as you said and have only sold 19k of them and sales are trickling off now. Saints 44k. Unlikely many neutrals will be interested. Certainly no where near the 10k you guessed.

How much did they cost? What number? I've just called and they said tickets are only available from the clubs.

But only club wembley members can buy 'seat only' tickets at £58 each. There may well be wembley 'packages' available (e.g. The £199 quoted above) but club wembley seats (on a 'seat only' basis) can only be purchased through club wembley members.

 

I bought my £58 club wembley seats through my company who are a club wembley member.

MK Dons home game didnt even sell out so no excuse about not being able to get a ticket for that game either.

strange how this club wembley works, as your company is a member do you just call up, quote the membership number and they sell you the tickets, if so is there a limit on how many they were allowing each club wembley member to buy?

in theory, could you still buy more tickets through your companies membership for other saints fans and you sell them on to them?

Not wanting to split hairs but you are wrong. They were only guaranteed a final ticket if they went to one of the area final games AND WAS REGISTERED ON THE DATABASE!!!

The club failed to tell fans this important bit when fans paid for their tickets at the booking office at the stadium in person!!!

 

I was lucky and managed to get round this but i suspect there are many unhappy fans that are now going to miss out on Wembley because they believed JUST going to the area final would guarantee them a final ticket.

Anyone with half a brain would ask that the ticket(s) they purchased be recorded on their customer history. It's not like using the database to assess eligibility is a new thing.

You've asked this several times. Why don't you just ring the club up and ask them?

My company has four seats/packages on a corporate debenture basis at Club Wembley for the main sports events. The JTP final is not one of the events. Therefore you are right you just call up, quote the membership number and they sell you the tickets but only for the seats you have (in this case four).

can probably be arranged...they're not choosy, or so I'm told, if you look the part you're in, getting out well not so much..I think it was in East Germany (after reunification) that you could spend a week-end in one of their "labour camps"(for quite a lot of money) .Wouldn't be sure that they got too many repeat clients though.

How much were the tickets and did you need to quote any Club Wembley or other details to get tickets through this route?

 

Ta Ewell

 

 

Prices are £199+ £10 booking fee

 

for that you are in the bobby moore club which has the seats up from the dugouts. Refreshments etc as listed in an earlier post.

 

 

Florent.Coulon@wembleystadium.com was the direct contact.
