The Semi Final Ticket Thread (Chelsea)

[marc_saint]

I can only assume it is for security reasons, although that is flawed with all the sub market trading of tickets

 

Doesnt seem to bother Chelsea as they've been letting any season ticket holder buy an extra two which can then be given on to anyone.

[Golden Balls]

OK.

 

My grandson, who I’m taking, goes to a local school. How about refunding the £80 for his ticket.

 

Nope

[Whitey Grandad]

Nope

 

Then don’t give any free tickets to local schools.

[Badger]

They can use mine and the boys customer numbers if he wants

 

Thanks for your offer, but this would prove problematic as the tickets will be posted to the named member, and both my mate and I are both exiles so collection would be out of the question.

 

Can't believe the knobheads who run the club.

I'm not. I just would. Despite you not agreeing.

You would be ok as you now have to collect from Wembley on day of game

[Toadhall Saint]

I'm not. I just would. Despite you not agreeing.

 

And so would I

If Simo can link his account to yours (I think all you need is a surname, customer number and post code) and you buy them online from your account, they’ll both go to you.

 

Might help solve this issue

[richardc]

Does any know if there are designated pubs at Bakers st like at the cup final or are there any other pubs people are meeting up in

[Shance]

Anyone want to buy a club Wembley ticket for this? Face value £60. It's an e-ticket so can attach it to an email. Saints end in the corner. Think it has a small bar as well so you'll be able to get pints at half time. Let me know. I was supposed to be having the ticket off my mate and have paid for it but my works are dicks and I can't go now.

 

Still available.

[Pamplemousse]

Ticket sales update - 7,597 available. The club sold barely over 200 tickets yesterday.

 

I still think there will be a late surge but there are going to be huge pockets of empty seats in the upper tiers.

its down to the clubs inflexibility. It is madness, especially if it is true that Chelsea are allowing more than one ticket per membership.

Imagine all those future fans that will be lost who could have tasted a game at Wembley watching Saints, and becoming fans for life

[aintforever]

Just logged in and there is a massive block of £80 tickets still available in the lower tier at the front, 1 block away from the dugouts.

 

Tried to buy an extra ticket but it's not letting me because I already have one on my number - ****ing nuts. Whoever runs the ticket office needs sacking.

[benjii]

If people are genuinely put out by the way this has been handled then they need to get on Twitter / email etc. and let the club know.

[Hatch]

Would love to take my kids to this game, My kids would love to go.

 

Not allowed to buy more tickets though,

 

Shame, 3 more supporters lost to whoever is top of the league this week.

I'm going to move into the seats in front of me- the row I paid for me and my mates was £30 each- that one row ahead becomes £45 and as I can see from the website it still remains unsold (not just that next row, but in fact like the next 10 rows!)

[LainPain]

Probably a silly question, but I'm trying to buy one and it's collection only. Guessing there's no chance of a ticket being delivered at this stage?

[Micky]

I actually bought tickets for the West Brom tie not noticing that they were collection only. I couldn't collect so phoned the ticket office and they arranged for me to pick up the tickets at the Hawthorns ticket office. When I went to collect on the day, there were a fair wedge of other tickets that had been sent up as well. Give them a call, perhaps they will do the same for Wembley - you have nothing to loose and I doubt we will be here for quite a few more years, so best grab the chance while you can...!

Awesome, thanks a lot.

[Robbie]

I’m working nights on Sunday so can’t make it, if anyone wants to use my customer number then PM me.

Collect at Wembley.

[ChiefScummer]

I left it a bit late ordering mine as I wasn't sure if I wanted to go in the end. Cost me over a grand for the 3 days I spent in UK for the utd final. My mates got me a ticket now so I guess thats another 700 quid put aside. If we lose Im spending a good 300 on a pub crawl.

[Pamplemousse]

People in the upper tiers should take flags or something. Maybe even the club could organise the Markus Liebherr flag to be placed up there.

[Monk]

Skates absolutely killing us for not taking our allocation, can't blame them either.

[View From The Top]

Skates absolutely killing us for not taking our allocation, can't blame them either.

 

And they're right too.

 

It's pi_ss poor organisation by the club, awful pricing by the FA which I know has meant some families are giving it a swerve, bad timing with the Soton marathon and a shockingly poor attitude from a huge number of our fans.

[benjii]

Skates absolutely killing us for not taking our allocation, can't blame them either.

 

They didn't either in the semi, if I remember rightly. Although we would have sold more if the criteria wasn't so anal. Maybe they had similar problems.

[OldNick]

They cant say anything as they haven't sold a ticket for the semi final

[OldNick]

If the club were not so rigid the whole allocation would be gone. It is a nonsense. I could have used at least 4 more, to add to the 3 I have obtained

[nta786]

they didn't have the FA charging £70 for a concessionary ticket either.

[Ado]

I have a pair of tickets in block 545 available if anyone is interested? Can meet at the ground on the day?

 

Just going to bump this, I have 2 tickets in Block 545 and also 3 tickets in lower tier. I only need 2 tickets so I’m open to offers on either the 3 tickets lower tier or the 2 upper.

 

Long shot I know but if anyone has last minute change of heart then I can meet at Wembley on the day

[Pamplemousse]

If the tickets were a flat £30 like with them then we would have sold out ages ago.

 

The fact Chelsea haven't sold out either shows where the problem lies. I'm sure there are people willing to go, but can't because it's too expensive.

 

The skates still had tickets on sale for the cup final in 2010, so they can hardly lecture us. Not sure why they're getting involved, they'll never get that far ever again.

The fact is, if it were the other way round then we would be taking the **** out of them. We wouldn't care how much tickets were or what the criteria to purchase one was.

 

In the end they sold out for their semi finals and finals so unfortunately have the right to take the ****.

They hardly register with me these days so I couldn't care less what they say or how many tickets they sold tbf !

[Dark Munster]

I see Chelsea are resting Hazard and Willian tonight for their meaningless match. Nice that our do-or-die match was scheduled tonight "to make it fair."

Spurs and United played on different nights too.

 

What a load of ****

[ericb]

If anyone is still looking for tickets and also wants to donate money to a good cause there's a pair be auctioned to raise money for a girl with cancer, the auction currently stands at £50 for the pair (in club wembley) too

To be fair, there were little or no restrictions for Skate fans for their Semi & final's ... mates of mine got tickets that had not been to Fratton Park in years!!

[St Louis]

Does any know if there are designated pubs at Bakers st like at the cup final or are there any other pubs people are meeting up in

 

A few of us were wondering the same. Would like to go somewhere more central for beers initially, before heading to Wembley, as The Green Man is a bit sh*t.

 

Does anyone know of anywhere the Saints fans might go beforehand?

[tizz]

We were in the Metropolitan Bar next to Baker Street Stn before the final last year,

hoping to visit again on Sunday, packed with Saints fans and a good atmosphere.

We drank at a few different places last year but ended up at Thirsty Eddies. No idea if it's still open but it wasn't too far from Green Man. It's a bit of a dive though.

[Pilchards]

They have sold another two today.

Blimey the rush is on

Thanks Tizz.

 

Maybe this is a plan for those wanting to stop central first then, we will head here for sure (unless there is another suggestion).

 

Getting excited now.... COYS!

Have Chelsea sold out yet?

[rick1976.4.38]

anywhere round baker street will be packed with Chelsea

[JackanorySFC]

I'm a miserable, unsociable sod that loves a decent boozer, a packed boozer full of day trippers isn't a decent boozer IMO. I'll go the opposite way and mooch around London Bridge and binge drink hard and fast on high % decent ale before getting on the tube a few stops before it gets busy.

 

I mostly blame Southampton FC for my lack of sunny disposition these days...

[Holbury Saint]

Have they stopped selling tickets now?!!! Website page days no tickets on sale

[saint77]

anywhere round baker street will be packed with Chelsea

 

Perfect
