my mate and his brother can get theres on thursday and were wondering what time to realistically start queuing
any ideas lads?
cheers


I went at about quarter past ten and it was a breeze. You report to entrance w where they take details off you before joinin the main queue. I was there around half an hour.
The fifty quidders are either bottom tier behind the goal or top tier down the side.
Forty quid are front half of the top tier behind the goal. the thirty quid ones are right in the gods

Farringdon's a bit central, how about nearer the ground

Don't know how well you know london mate but I'd recommend not bothering to watch anywhere near Wembley. You won't soak up any "atmosphere" that way and it's a shithole where most fans will arrive by tube, coach, car and depart that way straight after the final whistle.

The other obvious option would be to go somewhere in the West End....I'd equally advise against it. Not very football fan friendly and equally you won't benefit from any atmosphere of note.

I would follow Spiv's advice. There will be definitely other blues watching in there, it's a 10 minute cab or short tube from Farringdon to Euston Square to head back up north if you've got mates coming down with tickets who you want to meet up with again/travel with

He'll get ten tickets no danger though.

Dont even need season cards,just show city an email of your branch photoshopped onto a picture of eastlands and your laughing.
You get your ticket postage free and early before the riff raff get a shout in the best seats.

Dont be shy.

rang about 8:30 and got straight through. Unfortunately they weren't selling today's tickets till 9. Rang a few minutes before 9 to get in the queue and was served before 9. £50 tickets in 133 behind goals.

I'd have gone for £40 in 2nd tier if I'd known, but can't complain. Would be helpful if City could put seating plan and prices on the website for the final

Just over the Royal box, near the half way line block 554 or something like that.

Went on Sunday early doors as I was expecting a crazy rush after the stories about Saturday - arrived at 9am and was about 40th in the queue, I think there were about 150 in the queue when the ticket office opened just before 11am and I was out with the tickets by 11:30 - no probs. Still one short (they dont have a season card - they will have to join the Plastic Paddys Official Club).

Don't think yer mate will be on his own Sparticus - the guy at the window next to me was saying that his cards were missing points and one season card had zero on it too!

Goinna be driving down Sat morning, booked a hotel near Wembley / M1 as soon as we got through to the Semi's so will be staying up there - box of beer in the room cos its prob dodgy as fook round there pub wise!

Block 550 Row 19 £50 each category two.

Asked for lower tier behind the goal (also £50) but could not get 4 together.

Arrived at ground at around 11 am and got served around 1.30pm. Queue was about a third of the size when I left so it seems that if you don't want to queue long, get there after 2pm and you will be in and out in around 45 mins.

Woman on kiosk very helpful. Didn't have four together in her batch but got off her arse and asked others on different windows until she found them.

If I have to through the same process for the final .... I won't be moaning about it!
Relax ... It's only a message board in hyperspace!!

£50 an im tier 3 block 549 i think row 25ish. Its probably level with penalty area but up in the sky, miles back. Gutted about the seat considering the price of it. Ah well!

My Dad said the ticketing is pot luck in a sense. When you get up to the window, you only get what the person behind the window has allocated to them, so if you go to one window you could end up with a top seat wherever you are eligable, or another window an end up in the gods miles back like us.

D ya know mate that aint a bad idea at all. We would probably need a 'physical' base somewhere but I'd be game for it.

Didn't Arjan start one up somewhere?
