And if you go for the cheapest seats and get the farthest back row in that category you'll get as good a view as the folks in the next expensive seats in the row behind.
Been to the first 3 NFL regular season games there, not bothered with the last couple, and the first year we got lower tier seats and sometimes found it hard to get perspective of where everyone was on the pitch/field from that low down. I know with NFL it's a bit more relevant to see where the play is in relation to yardage etc but it could still be a bit deceiving for the beautiful game.
The next two years we did Club Wembley seats and the view was superb, as you'd expect but we always said that when we next went back for an event, we'd try and get in the rows about halfway between the pitch and club wembley seats and get just as good a view for much less money.

Agree, was in the lowest tier (about half way up lowest tier) for AC/DC gig back in 2009 and view was sound as a pound, well sixty pounds in that particular instance.

So season ticket holders can buy as many as they want first. Loyalty card holders can do the same after that and so on.
Would guess many season ticket holders will buy tickets for friends and family who are already loyalty card holders meaning after the season ticket holder window has closed, it shouldn't be as busy for loyalty card and general sale sales as many in those two categories will already have been purchased tickets from season ticket holders they know.
For instance, I'm a season ticket holder and planning on getting tickets for a number of people who are loyalty card holders and some more for people who don't have a seaon ticket or loyalty card, such as my other half, her parents etc who are all jumping on the bandwagon for the day and fair play to them, more revenue to divvy up at the end between the clubs.

Cheers. Thats more or less the way i was leaning towards taking it. Of our little group there are a couple of LC holders including myself so we should be fine to get a few together for a little group of us.

What type of cost & what do you get?
I'm not sure I think it differs depending on the event in question. As I understand it Club Wembley members have a glorified season ticket and can resell the tickets they get so I would expect packages to appear nearer the fixture.

That's how I read it too but it can't be the case surely. If all our ST holders bought 9 each there'd be none left for anyone else! The first part of the article about buying 9 etc sounds like it was cut and pasted from a jpt press release, then the stuff about st and Lc holders added by the club. A priority system as they describe can't work if st holders can buy as many as they want, so surely it will be limited to one ticket per st or Lc at the beginning.

Does anybody know anyone not going?
Some of the coaches sold out already!
Everybody seems to know three or four non regulars who want in ..
I think we may surprise a few ...
