Wembley tickets

[Mad Cyril]

A good reason not to spend money in the stadium, show your disapproval with their actions by boycotting their food and drink

It’s going to mean a bit of pre-loading.

North East London also saw an exodus to Essex in the '50's and '60's.

Indeed. A lot of these families retained their old allegiances. My grandfather, for example, was an avid Arsenal fan. My dad, however, bucked that trend and has been a Southend fan for about 80 years. He's been a season ticket holder pretty much his entire adult life.

A funny example is a friend of mine, whose family originated in the East End, considers himself a West Ham fan. Many years ago I pointed out to him (publicly on FB) that I've seen West Ham play more than he has, and that's only because I've seen them play Southend twice!

Got my tickets… and while it cost me more, there doesn’t appear to be any requirement to board the coach…. Unless I’ve missed something?

I was just wondering the same. Tickets received but I’ve had no details about my coach at all, how is this being enforced?

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Ticket received late last night (23:48). I too am 'old skool' and will print it off.

Now the question for me is do I shell out more for the train. Or do I 'risk' the coach?

@Greenelk
You've got your tickets you can travel any way you like, how can they stop you?!

Tickets arrivee’
Tres bon

 

[The Company]

and there lies the catch 22........do you go by coach which you have paid for or shell out a little more and go by train, the coach companies haven't lost money as its pre paid, TFL and ****ers (Wembley) are hoping you will jump on the coach as the world will end on Sunday if people use the other stations as these never get used for other events held at that stadium, and yes that is sarcasm before anyone types something

Having got the coach to Gateshead a few weeks back the coaches are well organised and they do a great job. If you have bought tickets as part of the coach package it might be worth letting them know that you arent travelling by it so it doesnt unnecessarily delay other fans and it makes it that little bit easier on the day when they are boarding the coaches etc.

Well we would have to pay more to get the train to Prittlewell from Harold Wood than the train ticket to West London….

What a mess reading this.

Fans booking coach with no coach details, coaches piled up on the motorway empty, families separated all over the place.

On top of this, DAZN charging 19.99 when people are able to watch the Champions League final for free.

Just a monumental f##k up!

It’s not.

The club have ticked a ridiculous box by selling these packages.

They can’t force people on to the coaches. Many will be half empty I suspect.

@Target man

After reading your message (#2990) I've just reread the email that had my ticket attached to it. No mention of a time from when the Coaches are departing. I understand it's 10.00am, but what time should we get there? Would be nice to have it confirmed by the club!

 

[Ricey]

Got the tickets last night at 22:59, hats off to the team in the ticket office they have done a great job especially under the stupid restrictions!

Maybe the club will put out comms. I'll alert one or two.

Really..? Without being rude, use some common sense… Get to RH a bit before 10am…

Look on Google maps, add a bit for queuing/admin… You’ll probably get to Wembley for 12.30-1pm…

If that's referring to my comment, I check the clubs ticketing page afterwards and it's 10:00am from Roots Hall. I just thought everything would be in the email.

To people who have been to Wembley before ( last time I went was 10 years ago )

Friends have 4 tickets in 112 bottom tier, I have a ticket in 216. Do I have any way of getting into their block and is all shuffling along and sitting together (assuming everyone isn’t standing).

I am guessing I would not be able to get into their tier/level?

Thanks in advance

Simple answer is no. I don't think the stewards will allow it if you read the terms and conditions of Wembley stadium, you can't even take a backpack in in unless it is smaller than A4 size.

Also don't forget this game is a sell out. If you try to move to another block you will be sitting in someone else's seat who may well be part of a group.

I do wonder how much the carrot of playing at Wembley spurred the players on in the previous games

Yeah there’s that but you can use that argument for the opposition as well.

**** me, so it is down to Wembley then?

This is mental.

That makes him happy so he does not have to cross Mayor Kahn, being in the same party and all.
