David Kelly 1244 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Well we got five tickets this morning no problem for our end behind the goal. I really don't think anyone who is down to period 4 has anything to worry about at all. There's best part of 33k tickets and we only have about 31k season ticket holders in total. There's not a chance every single one of those season ticket holders will go for a multitude of reasons (can't afford it, at work, can't be arsed with the travel, just don't go to away games). They reckon about 3-4k will get lost to coporate and staff so that still leaves about 29k tickets available. Bear in mind that period 5 is still season ticket holders, so they must know that there must be a reasonable amount who qualify for period 5 but not 4 or they would just have not bothered with the period 5 bracket. The only reason period 4 will be a ballot will be down to availability fo certain areas/seats together. I'd actually be very surprised if anyone in period 5 doesn't manage to get a ticket as well. It's also worth noting that aparently there is only around 12k who have any points whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the club wembley thing? From what I understand with that you get tickets for both finals and the FA Cup semi. As well as England matches, NFL and concerts too. If that's the case, you'd easily be able to make money on those tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the Club Wembley one though. Which actually makes it even worse cos its £5k for one game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I know has a couple and their mate has a couple directly next to them. The lad I know has been to all the cup games but took his whole family by utilising the pair next to his too. Now this other fella is wanting to go to Wembley with the points he didn’t really earn. I can understand it but it’s a tad cheeky at the same time especially as the lad I know was hoping to get 4 so they could all go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
