Wembley tickets

[PIERS]

Words fail me… the National League being Tin Pot as expected.

Given the sides that were involved in the play-offs, coupled with ‘PLANNED’ engineering works… why on earth didn’t they look to secure a different neutral ground such as Tottenham or Arsenal…

Yes if you ended up with a York v Forest Green final they probably wouldn’t sell many… but they’ve taken the gamble and now the National League has a chance to showcase itself by having its largest crowed for a play off final and screwed itself and its member clubs over.

Spurs ground is ****ter to get to than Wembley with the tube lines shut.

9k tickets for coach travel fans is 180 coaches roughly each club. Madness.

It's unbelievable and never achievable. I just don't understand it.

 

[ShrimpShack]

Myself and other exiles that have take the punt and made the journey are sitting pretty nervously with you all. This is so disheartening and not feeling we were hoping for leading in to this. Anxiety and big expense over celebration and community. Good luck to all - hope we get clarity and tickets.

Same position. Good luck

 

[Callum]

This is crazy then tfl should suspend engineering works for 1 weekend

 

[LeedsSUFC]

It's unbelievable and never achievable. I just don't understand it.

I think the argument would be that Oldham coaches cost £55 per person. The train costs £140+ per person.

Oldham's general sale goes live on Monday. Most of their fans will opt to drive/coach. More coaches from them should open up more non-coaches on our end (If transferring non-coach capacity from one club to the other is allowed).

Stratford to Northumberland park, 20 mins easy

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I’ve been on such a high for the last week but this has brought me crashing back to earth.

On the journey back from Forest Green I had 14 requests for tickets from family. This was going to be our biggest family get together since Covid. Three generations all getting together and watching the game together after what has been a tough year. That was why Wembley was going to be so special. This is why so many of us fought to keep the club going because of its ability to do this.

Now I’m going to get a ticket as I’m a season ticket holder, I’ll get one for my dad who booked flights right after the game and two other family members but it’s not going to be my whole family. I may even be able to source some extra tickets when they go on general sale but even if I can we won’t be able to sit together and share the experience as a family.

The National League and the Met Police have robbed me of this moment and they’ve robbed countless other fans of their moments be it with family, friends, schoolmates, teammates or colleagues.

They’ve ruined it for us.

 

[North Banker]

Overlooked in a lot of this seems to be the fact that TfL are putting on rail replacement buses for the closed tube lines. If they're going to shut the tube on a busy day they should be planning to provide an appropriate level of replacement service. We're sourcing coaches from everywhere we can, what are they doing?

 

[Smiffy]

As above I now feel flat as won’t be able to enjoy the moment with the friends/family that I was planning to. Loads in the same boat. Absolutely disgusting and entirely avoidable if the NL knew what they were doing.

 

[leeblue]

As it stands 18900 is current allocation with the current number of coaches.
As I suggested earlier the way round the capacity issue was indeed coach packages, pricey and not ideal but could see us break the 20k mark (coaches allowing)

 

[Bromley Blue]

Yeah this is the problem now. Even if they cave and increase the allocation it needed to be done before the tickets go on sale. Coz people are always going to rush to buy for a match of this magnitude anyway but even more so now. So any late movement on this will already have a negative impact on the experience for whoever has bought tickets already.

Absolute farce and I’m so angry about it.

 

[kentblues]

The difficulty with this even if a load of pressure is exerted at the highest level is that someone somewhere has signed this capacity off as the maximum on “safety” grounds and they’ll have to backtrack on that. Difficult to suddenly say it’s ok to have 50,000 fans using the same trains that yesterday you said were only safe to carry 40,000. Some creative thinking needed to safe face…

If only someone had buses so that they could run a replacement bus service to Wembley Park…does TFL know anyone who has any buses…the whole mess was foreseeable and as always a bunch of people promoted beyond their competence failed to plan for it…

 

[Sammy Shrimper]

Oldham hospitality is priced at £199, whereas ours is £249. Do we eat and drink more than Northerners?

 

[Fitz]

I may be able to get an an an executive box as my company has one as we do some services for Wembley. In which case I won't need my allocation so happy to sell at face value 6 tickets. PM if interested as will buy tomorrow

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Give fans more tickets for National League final at Wembley

[JCB]

I’ve had a few beers tonight which might be clouding my judgement but I’m still incandescent about this. The crap both clubs have had to go through and we’re handed one final **** you by the clowns running our division. My head is boiling!

 

[leeblue]

Again..tell me if I'm over simplifying this, if sold with a coach seat then the allocation is actually limitless....up to 90k obviously.
Wembley coach Park holds 200 I believe

 

[Tommy2holes]

My understanding is that it's Brent Council that have put these restrictions in place. Nothing to do with the league

 

[* ORM *]

I suspect the league will hide behind an it’s the Met Police/safety excuse

 

[stewart]

looks likely Southend may have to have the match on the big screen at Roots Hall if all cannot get a ticket' Should make management even more determined to get out off this tin pot league run by buffoons.
