Loads of people there when I left, I reckon a good 2000.


They opened ticket office earlier than planned this morning at about half nine with 6/10 windows and started selling from other windows as staff arrived.


Wasn't aware of that - can't see what's going on on the outside when you're stuck on the in! I realised the queue kept moving every so often but thought it was just the stewards shuffling us up. I was number 209 in the queue so on that basis they're serving about 100 supporters per hour.

Know what you mean - it's really hard to know what's happening because there's no updates, but fair play to the ticket office/club for being as flexible as they could.

have been on phone all day - literally
used £20 of credit on mobile and must have called 400+ times plus, now on landline - only actually got through to recorded 'your call is is important etc' 4 times and then get cut off after learning about live for city
surely club should have anticipared the demand and come up with better strategies for selling tickets, it all seems very old fashioned
if my call is so important why won't a real live person speak to me
can't see me getting a ticket at this rate and iv'e got 4000 points
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

Blue Since 76 wrote:Got them, block 533. Took 7 hours of queuing, so I'd be tempted to use the phones in future and pay the bit on top. I imagine Monday will be mental as the points drop again.

Stoke haven't apparently sold all theirs by using some new invention called the interweb. That'll never take off, not when you can have everyone queuing for 7, yes 7, ticket windows.


I was sat in 533 at the semi. Seems to be the block furthest away from the toilets!

I am in Club Wembley for the final. Not sure I would get a ticket for the final so when offered two tickets in Club Wembley at £150 each, I snapped them up.

Apparently the gates to the ground open at 4.30 in the morning but then it's 6am before they start letting you into a proper queue which is inside on the councourse ( W entrance I think it was) and then I expect the ticket office will open at 9

I didn't actually make a note of where I am, but I rang up and got one of the 85 quid ones on Friday - I think she said I was on the halfway line at the front. Phone lines are a joke - lost count of the amount of times I was cut off - I nearly fell off my chair when a human being spoke to me!

Tried on the phone for 3 hours on and off between work emails etc. Finally got through to some bird who only had £45 tickets left. When I asked for a better seat she advised to call back later when a new batch was allocated. Fuck that ! I wasn't wrestling with the engaged tone anymore so purchased £45 in block 547

I was in the front row in 532 at the semi. Fine view.
Hope you enjoy the game. Doubt I'll be there as I only have 3220 points. Keeping fingers crossed that they last until Thursday, but not much hope!!

not joking, got offered 2 prime tickets for the final by a teammate here in Taiwan. Totally unexpected. Had to turn them down as I'll be travelling for business ... absolutely gutted.
