Wembley tickets

[kentblues]

Yes, easily. Emirates, Tottenham Stadium, London Stadium, Anfield, Old Trafford - all big enough. I know it's nice for smaller clubs to get to Wembley but we've been twice before, it's not as 'special' anymore. I'd rather play at a nearly full Tottenham Stadium than a quarter-full Wembley.

Obviously it's too late to change the venue now, but this should've been considered before.

What is it about football that demands those running it you wouldn’t leave alone to manage a lawn mower in your back garden…
Surely a minimum level of competence should be required?

 

[Farmer Fossett]

Does anyone know how many tickets sold??

 

[RONMARTINOUT]

Everyone will get a seat. Let’s not fall out about it. The Club are in an impossible position and whatever they do they upset someone….

Yeah okay im done talking about it anyway. Proper depressing after being at and the high of Rochdale and FGR away.

 

[RONMARTINOUT]

Ok, I do get your point but let's say something gets sorted and the capacity increases. Those ST holders who wanted to take friends/family who aren't able to attend games on a regular basis are limited to 2 each then miss out on sitting with family after the larger allocation is announced.

You cannot have a go at the club for this! They are trying their best and as a season ticket holder I am glad I was able to get the correct amount of tickets I required to enjoy the game with the people I want too.

This 'I've been to more games than you' attitude is pathetic. Your anger needs to be aimed at TfL and the National League not our own supporters. If you were a season ticket holder I'm sure you would have bought what you were allowed too and been more than happy.

No, whys it any different for ST holders friends who cant attend on a regular basis and non ST holders who can’t attend on a regular basis.

Non ST holders who have been to home & away games should of been given priority over ST holders friends and family.

Just use your away season ticket to buy oh wait a sec

Away games are alot more fun than the majority of home games.

 

[Mad Cyril]

People dont get it mate. Who cares about the rest of us non ST holders “because we should of just bought one” according to Cyril.

I never said it was fair but season ticket holders have always had priority.

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

After the Semi-final, I'm straight on the phone arranging with mates/family and planning to buy in 'big' bulk; now, there is a massive risk that some or all won't be able to attend the 90+k stadium for the League 5 play-off final!!

I hope they have a big screen at RootsHall, and DAZN regularly shows clips then flips back to the masses of empty seats; how embarrassing for the people planning this.

A massive letdown for the football community, also letting families down and losing £.
I'm sure Oldham feels the same!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Heads should roll at the NL. A truly ridiculous and embarrassing state of affairs which is just a slap in the face to both clubs and fans who have been to hell and back in the last few years. 90,000 seater stadium and potentially thousands of fans who won’t get there because there’s not enough tickets! Utter incompetence. They won’t, but they should reimburse both clubs for any additional expenditure and loss of revenue as a result of this absolute ****ing farce. Really taken the shine off what should’ve been cloud 9 time.

When NL decided that1st June was the day that the final would be played didn't they check that engineering works were taking place.Afterall these sort of works take months to organise they donhappen overnight

I sincerely hope you are right that everyone will get a seat as personally I fell very disalusioned at the moment and I suspect I am not alone........lost for words really !

So tried to sign into my account from home but no luck. So went to Roots Hall and joined the end of the queue. As the queue was moving, albeit slowly, I kept trying to log in via my phone. After about 35 minutes I got successfully through! We have two season cards but i only purchased three tickets, as that’s all we need. Hopefully that’s gives a chance for other Shrimpers to acquire a ticket. The only positive was I probably saved best part of an hour in the remaining queue. PS: saw Spurs and Liverpool shirts in the queue,which looked a bit odd!

No, whys it any different for ST holders friends who cant attend on a regular basis and non ST holders who can’t attend on a regular basis.

Everyone will get a ticket, you need to calm down and stop digging at fans. You're acting like it's all sold out.

 

[Swiss Tony]

As someone without a season ticket seeing all this ‘tickets sorted’ is just rubbing the salt in the wounds

Punchers chance tomorrow

This poxy league has questions to answer, I wish you lots of luck tomorrow I’m sure you will get them.

They need to go down the legal route, both clubs as there is a huge amount of lost revenue if they don't increase the capacity

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

My springer spaniel is worried he won’t get a ticket.

That’s a very good letter.

What I’d add to it is that the preceding matches were played midweek rather than at the weekend when fans could more easily travel in part to allow a Wembley final that fans now can’t attend either!

 

[Holy Joe]

So the coaches - I had sort of assumed it would be a 2 stage process, select your ticket, then tick a box or something for coaches - but it seems no. If you want a coach you need to select tickets in a specific section - is that correct?

If so I'm guessing its a system limitation but seems odd. You'll get people want to be in the lower tier that then can't select the coach option. So more people are going to potentially be in the 17.5k non coach tickets than needed

done

Also purchased
As said before, can select block but not seats - I'm in 225, tried to put a concession in, but no facility to do so....block specific for us "seniors" ??

I got 2 concessions in 117

And future revenue.

Our attendances grew massively under Tilly, in no small part because of the bumper crowds at the JPT finals.

A fair few of those day tripper or fair weather fans became season ticket holders as a result of the big day out.

It is an appallingly negligent decision by the NL that will have a very real impact on the club’s finances.

 

[Target man]

It's just really sad to see so many upset fans, and bickering and nit-picking at others. I get it, it's a really big event and not one Southend fan should be denied. In reality, the blame sits with the National League.

In view of this, we shouldn't turn on eachother, after all, it's the pulling together that got us through the most difficult times when we almost went under.

Stan Collymore (who remember is a guest in this fixture) and Tom Lawrence are doing the most they can to try to increase capacity so that fans don't miss out, and unfortunately as a result some patience will be required over the next few days. Fingers crossed something is worked out. In the interim, let's remember why we've had so many compliments as a fan base.
