Got decent seats but it seemed like a mad scramble.

Excellent news!

What makes lower tier tickets the most precious at Wembley? Assuming as the players look like ants from the top tiers? Never really thought about it, but noticeably obvious how much quicker the lower tier seats sell out, despite higher prices.

I'm so bloody glad these lower tier seats are the premium prices. I'm near the front of upper tier 551 (£65), and I INFINITELY prefer that view alongside the pitch to being low down, especially behind the goal where you can barely see whats going on up the other end. I've watched a few games from the WSL as my dad and sister used to sit there. It was ok for a change, but no way would I swap it for my vantage point in the WSU, and I feel exactly the same about Wembley.

Low down sucks.

that proves the randomness of the system also logged in at 859 and around 2250. fairly painless 10 minute wait and 2 minute purchase. knew I needed to get a ticket in the block adjacent to the one set aside for match day staff as my daughter didn't want me too far away

Wow - makes me realise just how lucky I got.

I think the truth is, we won't actually care about where we sit, we'll only really care about the result.

34,000 I think

That, now becomes the key question. I also reckon if you found out it wouldn't be really representative, because loads of them will have been plastic opportunists getting tickets so they can watch their team (arsenal, man u, Liverpool etc) and figuring the 30 quid would be worth it.

 

[Bozza]

34,000, but guesstimates are that around 30k were released to fans...

1. The club need an allocation for staff, partners, sponsors and players' family.
2. Some rear rows in upper-tier blocks haven't been released yet.

If you're a Man U fan then the £30 may have secured you access to a bonus semi-final ticket!

Japan, Ecuador & Argentina at a rough guess as to where the majority of new the members base is now (maybe)?

Ecuador and Argentina on the Internet maybe. Its the Japanese that turn up en masse at games.

So roughly 8000 sold in the last 24 hours. Not bad going.

You also have a very good point about members being Arsenal, Liverpool etc. I'm switching to the glass half full there maybe a chance side.

It was 7000 in an hour

 

[Bozza]

It was 7000 in an hour

If we continued that rate of sales from now until the semi-final itself...


...we'd still have fewer fans than Sheffield Wednesday.

Indeed.
