Wembley tickets

I booked my train down from Scotland and hotel accommodation in London before there was any indication that tickets would be restricted, yes my choice but train tickets either sold out or limited and accommodation in London at a sensible price also limited when I booked.
Your inference is that people like me and many others are at fault, with respect it's not us that are responsible for this total **** show........
Neither is it the clubs fault! That's my point, it was about the poster saying the club should reimburse fans.
 
Please stop blaming season ticket holders for being season ticket holders.

Stop saying you deserve a ticket more than the next person.

It’s a near impossible position for the club to handle, they have handled it as best as they could so far.
Never said ST holders don’t deserve a ticket. But the fact they’re allowed to buy 4 is a joke. Why can’t people understand that?

Exactly the same for me. I had to book and pay flight pretty sharpish for Friday as there are no more flights to UK from where I live in France until Monday. There was only 1 seat left. I choose to book accommodation (again because of the flight for 3 nights) the latter I could have waited. However I based my decisions on the fact the Final was at Wembley and despite our wonderful support it wouldn’t be a sell out. Undoubtedly there will probably be people there who haven’t seen us play for many years, maybe never at all but the fault does not lie with the club.
 
The initial allocation is enough for every season card holder to purchase 4 tickets with plenty leftover. Not all season card holders have/will purchase 4 tickets. There will be tickets available tomorrow. We might even get an increased allocation if discussions between relevant parties go well.

Cut out the abuse of fellow fans or bans will follow. The end.

You will be fine. There are bound to be people who purchased tickets for family or friends etc and they won't be able to go. Keep an eye on the sell and exchange thread on here.

I honest think more tickets will become available
 
I think again this is where loyalty points should come into play, for home and away games, I get people can't afford STs at the time of sale and probably attend alot of games over the season, so they should take priority over people who are going just for a day out. As in loyalty tickets should go on sale before general sale. But, how many home games have we sold out this season?? 1 or 2 off the top of my head, and we have an allocation of 17500, that's double roots halls capacity so should be plenty of tickets, and we will probably get more if the club source more coaches. The only other thing I don't really agree with is 4 per ST, and that is me as a season ticket holder. Probably should have been max of 2, I also didn't take my full allocation.
Loyalty system is literally a waste of resources. The FGR game only for the whole of this season would it have come handy for and this one but that is because of the poxy trains so abit of an outlier
 
Why should they? You chose to book a parking space before you secured a ticket. I didn't buy my parking until I knew that I had secured tickets.
TBF car parking was announced by the official parking and allocated to the club whilst the ticket fiasco was still a secret- and what risk should there be given it’s the National stadium with 90k capacity and it’s the non league playoff final.

Whichever way you cut or dice there’s only one place the blame lies- and they’re all in hiding..
 
I reckon by 7pm tonight we sold around 14,000 tickets

That will be fantastic and unbelievable as only last week I read, after a few days reading them east london Sad O's posting on the internet they was happy with selling 10,000 for their playoff v Charlton after a few days .

I never said it was my view that our club were at fault, I know exactly who is responsible for this almighty **** up.
Obviously this is a very sensitive situation for many people who are Shrimpers through and through but are extremely worried that they may not get a ticket.
 
For those in the pot for tickets tomorrow.

Log in now. You won't be able to buy tickets but you'll be able yo confirm your login details all work etc

Beats getting to the front of the queue then remembering you can't remember your password.
Is that with the Southend site? My horror is that I get through tomorrow and then haven't got the password required. Equally can you purchase from Wembley and do you need to register before?
