you dont get a choice were you sit there selling block by block you just ask for a value and get put were your put thats how it happens

i know...and i assume they will leave the worst blocks till last - hence why i suspect i'll end up in the corner

i have emailed angela bray to ask her if they have any idea how theyre going to sell them, so that maybe I can stop moaning if I find out that the corner ones will have gone before thursday - but have had no response from her - despite sending the email twice ! Shes probably fed up with people contacting her but till she replies I aint giving up !

Even if I was an East stand ST ticket holder or Non-LC or ST holder, I wouldn't be stressing over an extra £10 or £20 for a seat at Wembley There are going to be plenty of seats to go around! No matter what ticket system the club chose to go for, there were always going to be people not happy with it, some people are acting like it's the end of the world because they might have to pay £10 more for a ticket, or sit somewhere slightly different to where they'd like to.

so a family of 4 with the extra £10 soon adds up then.
there is 10 of us going and 8 of those have attended nearly all games this season thats £80 extra, suddenly becomes a big wedge of money.

1 dont assume anthing 2 the 46 &60 ones will be last to go so dont think you will have a problem

[Spireite Phil]

People will naturally buy the best tickets they can afford.

1 per person are you for real ? How many would take that option and not be able to sit with family and friends ? I was actually just stating how it will affect families as its not only £10 as kopgirl said, I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it but as stated previously up the thread some people won't be able to. Only fair way was first come first served at the ground for season ticket holders but as to limits of tickets your allowed to get I can't see anyway of implicating this to suite everyone

That was in reply to someone saying £10 is not a big difference and that clearly show it is to a family of 4 and also clearly says nothing about me not agreeing with how the club are doing it

In the grand scheme of things though, with what you're already spending on getting there, food for the day, tickets already, it's only a small fraction of an increase in comparison! Say you're paying £20 each to get there on a bus, meal on the way there or before the match at say, £7 each, £26 tickets, the £10 increase is not all that significant considering the occassion.


It's going to be an amazing day no matter where you sit really, don't see the need for all this nitpicking about the club when they've tried their best in the circumstances, there will be enough tickets for everyone who wants to attend which should be all that matters and it makes us a lot luckier than fans of other 'bigger' clubs, where tickets for a trip to Wembley would be very hard to get!

But as I was saying the £40 being spent on tickets could have been thier food money or parking money or even petrol money to get there and may have just taken it over their budget, so in retrospect the £10 difference could be the difference in them enjoying the day at wembley or sitting at home and watching it

Ha ha. Listening to you lot all moan is quite funny,especialy when most on here had no sympathy for myself and a few other LC holders who were complainig about hangers on getting tickets before us.
Not so funny now is it!

I'm not moaning though just saying how £10 extra on a ticket does make a difference to some people less fortunate, wether it is our big day at wembley or not if you can't afford it you can't afford it simple as

not complaining about hangers on getting tickets before us...complaining about other st holders going before us

[Tylerdurdencfc]

Well your all twaddled as I'm sat here now with my tent, deckchair and a blank cheque waiting for opening day sale as I have 15,000 tickets to order....

Seriously...I have to agree about the season tickets....they should be able to go when they like and not have a tiered system...

I have a LC yet can get my ticket before a season ticket holder, just because I know someone who sits in the Kop...doesn't seem right does it...

[lesleycfc]

As unpopular as this maybe i think its time we introduced the points system like other clubs.

Whilst i appreciate my fortunate place being a Founder Member and getting my tickets early i do feel for the other fans.

Now i sit in the South Stand so would have been first pick but i dont think its fair how we can have fans in the West/East stand that go to every game home and away and are behind South Stand holders that maybe dont attend as many games.

I also dont doubt that there will be enough tickets but its still its the principle!

That said i also dont think its going to change anything and people will have to accept the club position
