[Football] Wembley Box Park for SF

[AmexRuislip]

That says ‘fans’ not glory seekers so I am afraid you are excluded…

Mind you I bet a coffee will be expensive !!

OK you've got me hooked, you bitch

From what I was told last time if you want guaranteed entry have to turn up by the set time … after that it’s just first come first served until capacity is reached.

Then 1 in and 1 out etc.

That's what it says for the Sheff Utd game the day before. Guaranteed entry before 12:30. Seems very early!

Seems stop serving alcohol an hour before kick off so early in and out !!!

 

[AIT76]

Yes, after 12:30 it becomes pay-on-the-door to allow them to manage capacity.

So there's only one Boxpark per game then? And only one club gets to use it? Seems like a bit of a massive oversight by Wembley there, failing to fully monetise every damn thing they can. Clearly only a matter of time til both clubs get a Boxpark of their own

 

[Easy 10]

So you could end up spending £10 on a ticket that you can't use if you don't get there before half twelve ?

Seems a bit cock-eyed

The ticket is still valid for entry after 12:30, but you have to queue with everyone else - you can't just waltz in... (unfortunately)

Thats fine. Just didn't want to rock up at 1.30, flash my ticket only to be told "sorry blud, we is full innit"

That very well could happen … says tickets only offer GUARANTEED entry before 12.30

So what is the point of a ticket if you get there after 12:30? Do you still need a ticket to get in then?

 

[Springal]

Yes tickets only valid until 12.30, after that it’s queue and if full, one in one out. They want people in for a few hours spending loads, not people popping in for an hour having 1 drink

If you know you're not going to be there before 12:30 then yes, I agree no point buying a ticket as it is pay on entry at that point. However if you have a ticket and are delayed somehow then it is still valid for entry and you won't get charged £10 again on the door. As Easy 10 pointed out - that could leave you out of pocket if the queue is massive and you don't end up getting in.

Ah I see, so it is £10 to get in anyway. That makes more sense.

I’ve emailed to clarify. May have to try get there closer to 12-30. Can’t imagine a huge queue at say 1pm - may have to take the chance. Seems odd though - surely they should sell the amount of tickets that the capacity is and only if they don’t sell out allow people in at the door!

Because people come in later, they want it full and to stay full from early on

 

[Sheebo]

Does anyone remember getting in after the cut off point and whether they had to queue for long last time please..?

There was no cutoff last time, because the club hired the entire venue and sold the tickets themselves. We got wristbands to get in and reenter.

Pretty certain it has nothing to do with Wembley Stadium/The FA, like many businesses in the area.

Yep……there’s one in Shoreditch and one in, er, Croydon. They’re open every day

It’s been mentioned that the Box Park tickets are £10 but how/where can you buy them. Their website appears only to give info.
