As you say, the date for being told whether successful or not is the same but the way I understand it is there'll be a ballot for the P4 applicants then should tickets be left afterwards it'll go to a further ballot for P5 and so on. Would seem like a waste of time creating any categories after 5 if they did that. May as well have just had everyone not in the first 4 all together in 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the people I generally go to the match with aren't season ticket holders. They're either members or I just get mates tickets on a game by game basis on my season tickets. So its the bus there and back on my Todd. Feel like I right Billy no mates. Anyone else in the same boat? I'll have your ticket for the bairn if you're feeling really daft? And wanna meet the lads to watch it. Am sure they'd rather you were with them ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than happy to do that but I'm awaiting on confirmation on in terms of checks etc. As it states on the site tickets are non transferable.

Tbh I think you’d be extremely unlucky to get checked, and even if you did, there’s no requirement for ID, so as long as you know the name and address of the person that the ticket relates to, you’ll be sound.

Yeah, just seems like a lot of effort to go to come up with the various criteria, and the subsequent shit that the box office will have had to deal with, with questions, if there wasn’t going to be some sort of structural use to having them.

From what I read about other clubs going to Wembley for finals the security are more arsed about stopping people trying to jump the turnstiles, fake tickets, radgies looking for a scrap etc History would suggest that a well behaved adult on a concession ticket or a ticket not in their name will generally just go straight through the turnstiles Edited February 6, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Still lots of very good seats left. Not sure if those in later periods can already check but not purchase but If anyone wants me to have a pre nose close of play tonight and tomorrow night to give you the lay of the land for bigger groups let me know. Another thing to note was I was approximately 1200 in the queue this morning from 10am and was quoted 48mins wait time yet within a couple of mins it had dropped very quickly and I got in around 10:10am. It’s a very similar system to ours. Select area. Select seats. Basket. Assign warning if more than one seat being purchased. Assign. Purchase. So very familiar.

Yeah no problem. That’s state of play as of a few mins ago. Blocks 238-252 were never on sale so only half a dozen blocks fully booked with the dark shading. Most paying the higher prices it seems.

As long as you get your application in before the window closes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re in p4 and it’s not a massive hassle to be online and in the queue on Thursday morning, I’d still probably do it, and hopefully someone who’s in sharp will post on here and you’ll know whether it’s worth hanging on or just going back later when it’s quiet.

The higher ones are actually quite scary ? I managed to get a cheap ticket for the Chelsea v Arsenal charity shield when down in London off a tout last minute chancing my luck. Was sat fairly high up but still a good view. The incline is quite severe and the barriers a lot lower than you’d think would be safe ? If we score I’m predicting casualties ?
