Wembley tickets

[kentblues]

Shouldn't make a difference but we were in EFL League 2 for that game

Average attendance 2014/15 6024
Average attendance 2024/25 7339

This is because of the closure of Wembley Park station.

Embarrassing. TFL should sort their **** out and postpone the works.

Engineering works, especially across four tracks as in this case, are a major logistical coordination challenge and would have had to be planned several months ago. I think you should be blaming the FA / Wembley and National League for (more recently) selecting a Final Date with inadequate liaison.

Is this another example of H&S at its best ??

I'm pretty sure that Wembley have to advise TFL of any significant events at the earliest possible date

It only became a significant event when we and Oldham got through to the final.

 

[Jack_23]

Absolutely shambolic from FA and national league.

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Just hurry up and get the bloody tickets on sale!

 

[danbowen]

That’s outrageous if true.

 

[North Banker]

5 tier Policing

Quite the opposite, at this rate sounds like we're only going to get one tier!

Exactly, the last few years haven't really seen 2 clubs with big support, possibly notts county and Chesterfield but I think that was around 38k which is 17.5 each. Id imagine Wembley are never expecting a bigger crowd than that, which is poor from them, however I can't see Wembley selling out, possibly 25-30k max each club

Wasn't making reference to our fantastic support.

More of a case that NFL/Wembley don't expect as much support from a National League final versus a League 2 final.

In the end you sell the tickets as normal and fans have to work around it. That is less embarrassing than a combination of the league, FA and TFL resulting in nearly half of fans from both clubs having a Wembley final taken away from them.

Of course TFL will take the brunt of the flack. Unfair maybe but tough. The final was that day and months ago they would have known that a couple of the bigger clubs might well end up there.

Im getting a horrible feeling about this. Ive already forked out 40 quid for the car park, without even knowing whether im going to get one ticket yet let alone the half dozen the family seem to be adding to each hour. The bloody cat will get in on it next if im not careful. I haven't even thought about how we're all going to sit together or what bloody colour balloons to buy.

I'm similar. Just hope I and the grandsons can get tickets or I'll have a car park space for sale!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Sort it out, I’ve already booked and paid train tickets
No doubt many others have done the same for the fleet of coaches going to Wembley

Understand- I thought you were wondering if we would exceed 2015 final numbers as we were in L2 then- I was pointing out attendances are now 20% higher so probably.

More generally they should have easily been able to imagine two out of Southend, Oldham and York being in the final given the stupidity of only one automatic place. Truly football is run by simpletons…

 

[Tommy2holes]

I've heard 17.5k each limited due to health and safety.

Ive also heard c2c are looking into running several train direct to wembley

 

[WhiteNoise]

I know. I’m just wondering what we’d roughly expect to take. Think it was about 20k but can’t really remember

 

[manor15]

What’s the point of holding it at Wembley if the tickets are capped at 35k between the two teams?

 

[Smiffy]

Pretty sure anyone that wants a ticket will get one.

There's a lot going on, including discussions surrounding the TfL works and whether that could be perhaps suspended/part suspended. Are there workarounds, can C2C help. Are the Police and emergency services happy, are the clubs happy, the NL, FA etc etc. It's endless. That's without the ticketing arrangements, do Wembley handle it, do the clubs handle it and loads of other stuff.

Lots of moving parts, lots of people involved, not helped by the TfL works.

We just have to be patient and await the correct official info.

Posting chinese whispers on here wont help the situation and create a bit of unnecessary panic.

see Iv heard initially 17.5 and can go up to 30k if needed

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

I’ve heard












Nothing.

 

[danbowen]

With the option of driving, coaches, other train lines and other transport methods it’s a joke saying health and safety. Probably more likely Wembley just don’t want to open other tiers.
