Wembley tickets

Forums New posts
It's now obvious that lots of families and friend groups have had to split because of the ticket fiasco. Mine included.
What Wembley could easily do is open up another couple of blocks for each club without selling the tickets. Groups could head into these newly opened blocks and it would create thousands of spaces in other blocks.
People now sitting on their own could then join. Otherwise there will be plenty of 'incidents' of having to shove someone out of your seat at 14:50 on Sunday.

The cost would be minimal and save the stewards a lot of grief. In fact people are more likely to spend in Kiosks if you can get in and out easily.

Not that I will be spending anything in that stadium. Forget chants its money which will send a bigger message. I urge all you Shrimpers to join me in the stadium spend boycott.

Looks like the pubs around Marleybone will be getting my dosh on Sunday

Old school is best I still print things off like that, I have never even owned a smart phone and I am 72, I have an old Nokia "dumb" phone I switch on just to get things like bank security codes and that's it! By the way did I say I hate telephones of all kinds, I had enough of that during my working life :Smile:

You're quite advanced for a Ewes supporter then CaP.
 
@Cricko Re your post #2,999. I wasn't aware that there were other departure points other than the RH carpark! My ticket doesn't stipulate where I should go. Do you think therefore that I can assume that by default I am on one of the Roots Hall departing coaches?

The Greater Southend City area has about 300,000 inhabitants. A huge potential fan base. It’s true many over the years migrated from East London in particular. My family and my wife’s originally from Leyton/Leytonstone/Walthamstow (East London). So yes there are going to be a meaningful number of football fans who support a London club first and having moved to the area or their parents having moved to the area see us as the second club. My Dad was an Arsenal fan but followed Southend closely and attended a few games every year.

That said most in this rush for seats are, I think, just indicative of our large potential fan base, and a large number of people for who if they did regularly support a club it would be us. And we have a large fan base that have moved away and will come back for big games.

I don’t think so. If I remember rightly (I wasn’t there) we took in the region of 30,000 to Wembley for the Wycombe play off. We did not then see that number clamouring for seats for home games thereafter. I should think about half of the people going on Sunday are attracted by the day out at Wembley.

Are you going with The Trust or the club on the coach? If it's the Trust then there is (as far as we know) just the pickup at RH.

If you buy a Basildon to Fenchurch Street ticket 3 days in advance (basically today at latest) with a Network card it is £6.65 return.

Doesn't really make any sense does it? On a normal Sunday, it's not like the train is going to be full and that C2C need to gauge demand before working out how many carriages to lay on. I can sort of understand it they were running intercity trains, but not a commuter train to London...on a Sunday. So why penalise people that decide on the day that they want to travel?
 
We've sold 25k. I thought we had 21.5k non coach tickets. So around 3.5k coach tickets - if a coach seats 50 people. That's 'only' around 70 coaches. Club has sourced over 150 coaches - does that mean there's still around 3.5k coach tickets to sell or did we not get 21.5k non coach tickets?
