Wembley tickets

I also think people are forgetting that they sold neutral tickets at £20 an adult and I think half price for over 65's back in April. Absolute peanuts.

Then you look at this pricing, it's half price for over 65's. So only £20 a ticket! Even £40 isn't a lot for London any more. They aren't making any money to open all the ground. It costs so much to do so with no return. When I went to the FA trophy final last year, most of the kiosks were shut. It cost them too much to open them.

Don't also forget, the FA aren't subsidising this final, like they do with the fa trophy final, it's all on the National League to hire the venue. They aren't going to pay out for the whole venue to be open with all the costs that come with it with how much tickets cost. Also, Dazn are a lot smaller that TNT/BT too.

This is all money related and they've got lucky that they have the transport situation to hide behind.
 
In a way that would be ideal as it would then ratchet up the pressure for a solution- slower sales would have the suits sitting their hands. Sell them in 48 hrs then go absolutely potty.
Absolutely. We need to sell out today to turn around and say "told you"
 
I know some season ticket holders are buying tickets for friends and family that don’t even like football and wouldn’t even know which team is which on the pitch which means the atmosphere will be a bit weird to say the least!
 
It's at times like this that being a miserable bloke with no mates comes to be an advantage.

I can hopefully buy 4 on my ST, find 3 people who need the spares & who know might get a friend out of 1 or 2. Even making a vague acquaintance would be nice. 🙂
I'm still hoping that I and my two grandsons can get tickets in the general sale tomorrow. We've been to quite a few games this year (and previous seasons) and I've been going to Roots Hall and away games since 1966. We're no longer local (now exiled in Sussex), so season tickets weren't an option for us. We'd already booked a car park space in anticipation! Hope you find some new mates and you have a great time with a Blues win back to the League.

Atmosphere at roots hall only got decent last few games of the season . Most of the time our home atmosphere is awful

I just don't/won't buy that 55,000 people there isn't more financially advantageous for the organisers than 35,000 people

Also have heard of some season ticket holders that want to buy their full allocation to sell some on at a profit which is disgraceful tbh!

Exactly. The kiosks aren’t there as a charity. If the numbers expanded, so would the number of kiosks licensed to print money at circa £8 a pint.
