Does that mean only 1,100 of the additional 3,500 ticket and coaches packages made available have been sold? That’s a bit of a shame given how much effort would have been put in by TL/the club to secure all those coaches at short notice.

Everyone just be careful of scammers:

BBC

See here the details of who did it.

The alleged scammer has deleted his Twitter but details here. Seems a genuine Southend fan's account prior to scamming other fans.

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?

It means theres a **** load of coach package tickets that will go unsold.

woke up this morning to find my tickets arrived.

Woke up this morning feeling fine
Southend United on my mind
We’re playing football the way we should………

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

Agree with all of this.

Is it possible for a coach seat exchange. For the many Shrimpers who don't need to head to Southend, could they not donate their seat to someone who was planning to drive or get the train?

Without all of the delays, restrictions and obstacles deliberately put in the way of the Club and supporters, the whole buying process would have been very easy. With our full amount of 35,000
everyone who wanted a ticket, it would have been available. Plus everyone would have been able to sit together as they required.
Due to the "Experts" at the top of the tree, it turned out to be an unnecessary and very stressful experience.

£20 PPV for the National League final.

95% of people that would pay that will be in the stadium. DAZN should be making this free to air and streaming it on YouTube like TNT do with the Champions League final.

Confused. I'm seeing this. Could it be because you're in the UK and I'm not?

And no doubt at a cost to the club

 

[Shrimp Curry]

I don't think all of the sourced coaches are 50 seaters, there's apparently a fair few smaller mini bus types due to a lack of availability

One’s not a Freddy pony pulled one I hope as that should already have left

That’s if you sign up on their monthly subscription not a one off match pass

Edit: just signed into app and one-off Weekly Pass seemed to £14.99? I don’t press pay to 100% certain..

I think you are assuming coach means a coach with 50 seats- I think the term “coach” covers a wide selection of coach sizes between minibus and 70 seaters…

Confused in the UK also. Being offered the final for £14.99 on the Weekly Pass deal. Don't see the £19.99 price anywhere.

Doe’s anyone know how many tickets have been sold by both clubs so far please.

Agreed. I guess in the end they have ensured that everyone who really really wanted to go could- not withstanding the disincentive of cost (although that, it seems, isn’t mad verses public transport, but is against a full shared car) and probabl, more challenging, geographic location of many fans. All be it many will pay for the coach and not use it to get around that.

Presumably those attending by coach combined tickets are indeed receiving their match tickets independently??

We missed a bloody trick here you know. All we needed to do was have 4 or 500 cars identifying as coaches (seems all the rage) and that would have got plenty more in.

Sorry just saw Smiffy’s post, apologies all.

 

[EastGreenNutter]

Tickets only on sale until 7pm tonight.

Plenty of spares going around though.
Not sure we would have taken 35k but definitely 27,500 to 30,000 was possible without the restrictions.

I think we would of been close to 30,000 I know quite a few that gave up getting tickets after a few days, 35,000 I'm not so sure.

I think 35,000 was estimated by the club when general sale was halted when 8000 we in the online queue and 600 in the car park. And each of those people wouldn’t be buying just one ticket. I think 35k was quite a conservative estimate at that point in time…
