It's never been easier to buy a ticket yet there's still people moaning and whining, jesus just buy a ticket and go or shut up and watch it on TV.

I have a spare concession (60+) seat in Block 238 (Cat 3) if anyone's interested.

Absolutely, Wembley looked rubbish against Crewe, just looking at about 30000 empty red seats. Someone said there was 48000 yesterday for the conference play off. Bit embarrassing if we don't beat that ! Can't see it somehow though!

Swindon and Preston have only sold about 20,000 each at the moment. So there is a chance the Conference final crowd will be bigger than League 1 play off final!
If two clubs that are bigger than us are struggling to sell tickets for the League 1 playoff final, it does not make our 15,000 or so at the moment look so bad.

I'm going to wait to see when more blocks are available.....

Judging by comments on the Preston forum (who are also using See Tickets) it would appear that See Tickets are reluctant to release extra blocks when cheaper seats sell out, even if that means there are only expensive tickets remaining. This is due to Wembley policy (stewarding/catering/cleaning etc).
Preston did originally have some Level 5 (top tier) tickets made available from the start, these have all sold out along with the cheaper lower tier tickets. Their official allocation was also 30,000 but that does not really mean a thing as See Tickets and Wembley put just over 20,000 on sale and will only release further blocks when they want. Their tickets have yet to go on general sale but as the majority of tickets remaining are all quite expensive they are not expecting a huge uptake.

I have a feeling that unless we all but sell out our remaining tickets then we will not get any further cheaper tickets. I suppose there is a chance as we must only have about 3,500 left to sell, but if there are only Cat 3 and above left that might put off some people from attending and yet I bet the official site will still say tickets are available from £26/£13.

Yeah that's pretty harsh of them to be honest, if you're taking a family and the cheapest options are Cat 5 it's an expensive day out.

 

[sufclee]

Wycombe fans can only buy advance tickets until noon tomorrow, after that it's on the day sales only.

 

[Smiffy]

>16,000 sold now....

Should reach 20,000 by the day itself.

 

[shrimperjon]

Does this mean that if we sell in the region of 20000 that this will basically fill the two lower tiers. If so at least it will look decent on tv rather than loads of empty blocks of red seats. Still think anything around the 20000 mark is a good effort. At least it will be a majority actual southend fans rather than loads of day trippers. In our group of 30 there are probably 16 regular attendees (ie us season tickets holders) the rest are friends / family who dont go everyweek but are at least southend fans

The cheapest available for us are the £40 tickets now, catergory 4. Was taking a load of day trippers but they aren't interested at that price. Ticketing policy will certainly affect the attendance IMO

Yep and not many Cat 4 left either, so much for our 30,000 allocation which was really about 20,000.

Tell them it's no more than the price of a good meal and a drink.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Great effort from everyone!

To be honest if it wasn't my team i'd have no interest at that price, add the train ticket to that and beers and it's a very expensive day.

well said! And tell them to enjoy the better view in their higher cat tickets... Come on guys it's bank holiday weekend - let's all go to Wembley!!!! Nudging 20k this time tomorrow me thinks - lots of Echo press in the next few days, I reckon the crowd will exceed some expectations..

Tickets are beginning to be dispatched. 19% done now.

I would love to see over 25,000 of us. Lets silence their crowd!

 

[IamJack]

I have just acquired 3000 yellow balloons. To spread them around the stadium if anyone wants them away from TBV singing areas (as Ill dish out there) and wants 200 at a time send me an address and ill get some posted out.
