It's not the Club Wembley one though. Which actually makes it even worse cos its £5k for one game. Yes, but if you amortise it over 20+ years ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria email from the club suggested there would be spot checks around the stadium. Tbh I can see that happening to an extent due to the carry on at the Euros final, they’ve changed the licensing laws to allow this. If you haven’t got a ticket in your name they don’t want you anywhere near the stadium.

I've heard (about to go to the box office to check) that because of this (tickets are linked to STs) I can't upgrade my daughter's ticket to an adult ticket. Which is just great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pubs within a mile of Wembley are allowed to show the game etc i cant believe they could even attempt to police that mind. there's no requirement to carry id in this country is there? i remember the games at home at the back end of '21 where you were supposed to have proof of vaccination status no attempt was made whatsoever to do so, nor is there to check for id against the name on paper tickets. fucking hell, if they ever start personalising away tickets and checking for id there'd only be about a couple of dozen in the stand!

Well no (although you do need ID to vote now, but that's another rant), but it can stil be made a requirement in any private transaction. The issues for me is though it means I can't upgrade a child's ticket. At SJP concession tickets trigger an alarm at the turnstyle so presuming its the same at Wembley there is no way around this. They're not going ot let an adult in under a child's tariff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 There was still 8000-10000 tickets remaining at 12. I'd imagine most people in today's section would have got theirs by then (there was certainly no queue at that time). So anyone in section 4 should have a very good chance of a ticket. The only weird thing is that they don't let anyone in any of the ballots know they have a ticket until ballot 7 is done. You would think it's very possible there should be nothing left by section 6 & 7 which are non season ticket holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I don’t think Wembley could get a license to put any sporting event on now without “agreeing” to put this shit in place after the Euros farrago. How the fuck they’ll police it effectively is anyone’s guess but as I said it was in the criteria email from the club so we have been told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always would have been a very slim chance but there's literally no category I fall into. I'm a paid up member and I don't even qualify for general public as every home cup tie I was at graft bar the semi final which I put a last minute emergency holiday in for after the tickets were gone.
