Wembley tickets

[kentblues]

That 50k doesn’t include the coach tickets I believe

That would make sense which would mean 8k more tickets- would they split with Oldham given they are maxed out? I suspect they will feed through in batch according to each clubs demand with would explain why a number is not mentioned

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I’d say you’ve pretty much cracked it, chaps. That all sounds very likely to me.

At last, we have the tickets we wanted now without a f'ing coach

 

[Sleaford Shrimper]

It's great that more tickets not linked to a coach package have been released but I have to feel sorry for those people from places other than south-east Essex who bought a coach package earlier in the week with no logical possibility of using the coaches, because it was the only way for them to get a match ticket. That's an unnecessary £40 down the drain for them now that this new batch has been released.

Love to be at one of these meetings.

"Ok we'll let you have a few more thousand tickets, obviously your fans need more so we are delighted to help you out"
... "oh thankyou kind sirs, your understanding in this matter has been refreshing and i know our fanbase will be ecstatic with this"

Fans... "**** the National League and **** Wembley" !!

It's either 17.5k or its not you tossers. There better be enough stewards and catering staff in the place after this absolute bollock storming drip-feed of tickets that somehow we are supposed to be thankful for.

Southend vs Oldham National League play-off final capacity upped

Wembley Stadium increases ticket numbers following a backlash by fans and politicians.

It’s good news, but I’d say a good few thousand won’t come now that would have otherwise.

Well done to both clubs, trusts, MPs, councillors, fans and folk like Stan. F the National League

 

[ShrimperInTheShadows]

Yes but let's not blame the club. They have gone above and beyond here.

No, I know it's not the clubs fault. I'm just venting a little frustration.

Selling well. Over half the blocks released are now limited availability

 

[Holy Joe]

Originally it was 17.5k each plus 9k coach & ticket so 26.5k each or 53k
So this is a reduction of 3k
Noons know what’s going on…

It was 48k unrestricted tickets - 21.5k each club +5k for NL and club officials/guests - so an increase of 2k overall?

Safe trip down from the Midlands. If we do manage to pull this off and win then you and I need to go to the National League HQ next week which is just off Victoria Square and celebrate with some kind words for them. I scouted it out this week, easy access you would think from looking at the massive building but they only open up to so many people who have come to Birmingham by coach, then all of a sudden they say it’s a free for all and all are welcome at the last minute

This actually sounds like a plan!!

 

[dusterman]

Cheers mate. Share your hate of Ipswich Town by the way. Dunno why, proximity to Colchester probably. Cocky fans.

They are cocky I agree.

Have all the blocks been released? I.e could we see Southend fans in every block?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

How many more tickets have we been given?

Presume a decent amount if they’re opening the ticket office until 10pm tonight and then reopening at 9 in the morning.

Are these the Oldham unsold tickets, if so a lot of happy Shrimpers

No. Still over half the top tier closed.

I guess we are at around 28,000 allocation now. With 26,000+ sold.

From our end what blocks have not been sold at all (512-526!?) and then some from the middle!?

Oli Johnson's winner in our league one season more than made up for it ;)

Mate of mine who supports Southend wants to go and has asked if i fancy it... id love to come in with you guys but wouldnt want to deny a die hard shrimper the chance of a ticket

Grab a ticket, it's the sensible thing to do.

Yeah, I imagine we've also been given a few extra that Oldham didn't sell.

There’s no excuse for anyone who really wanted a ticket now. Buy one and join us.

Fantastic, got a couple in block 503 @ £35 each.
I'd about given up hope!
