[Football] Wembley Box Park for SF

[AIT76]

SOLD OUT GRRRRR

If it says 'few tickets remaining' then keep refreshing the page and you may get lucky, I did.

I suspect @AmexRuislip was merely paying tribute to your indefatigability. 







Thanks Mike

How the hell is this sold out already - what a joke it’s been on sale an hour or so…

Will just have to chance arm at 1ish I guess - I take it kids will still be free…

Info for Sheff Utd fans, so I guess Albion info not long in coming.

Am I right the Green Man is just west of Wembley? And that’s the other big decent boozer we’ll have? So can easily check the queue at box park then still over to the Green Man if queues too big?

Any help appreciated pls…

Sold out to Cat 1

Long time lurker, have been to Box park (Wembley, Rainham, Preston Park) loads of times over the war years, if anyone has a guest box park ticket please let me know

I didn’t go to The Green Man before the City match but hopefully will this time.
If you look at Dagmar Av on Google Earth you can see it’s not far, the pub has got a very large garden with outside bars.
I’m told by others that went last time that it’s good.

 

[Easy 10]

Got tickets. Aiming to do Boxpark around 12 until 3ish. I want to leave in plenty of time to get to the ground and have a chance for a mince around the concourse with a beer and soak up the atmosphere.

Why do they charge £11.13? For what exactly? Seems like money for old rope to attend a venue with overpriced food and drink. Don't think Ive missed out. Ok well done club for securing it if thats what some want.

I shall be heading to the equivalent of the Battle on the day and then tubing it in. I liked to avoid piped entertainment for as long as I can.

To those going, enjoy it.

Yes Green Man is ours. Was there is 19, atmosphere was good, but beer queues long. Had waitresses going round with trays of shots, if that’s your thing.
Got led on a merry old route to the stadium, up through a car park and around the block.

We were sceptical back in 2019 but eventually opted for it and it was well worth the money. Probably not if your idea for the semi is to get on a coach, go to wembley, watch game, get on a coach, come home. There will be videos of the albion, guest speakers, several ex players milling around, for example in 2019 we had chats with Sidwell and Rollings. The fact it has sold out so quick suggests people have a good idea of what to expect. Also, rather pay a tenner to be there than in some local pub. Each to their own though.

Agree - we enjoyed it last time, although also got a drink included for the entry price so was even better value.

Surely this isn’t right. Not screening the game

It's only open to people with tickets, so what would be the point?

 

[bomber130]

Oh sorry didn’t realise that thought it maybe for those without tickets who wished to have the Wembley experience.

 

[axscott]

Hang on, does that mean the ticket is worthless if you show up after 12.30?!

Early start then I guess

Yeah that's how I read it, gotta make a proper day of it and get there early!

Whilst I missed out on tickets I did take a look at their offerings. They claim a great choice of drinks including craft ales, wines and spirits. Well, the beer choice is decidedly average, and largely from Burton on Trent, prices on par with the Amex and many an establishment in Brighton, and nothing resembling a craft ale whatsoever. I think you'll be fine if you are a gin drinker as they offer a large choice of flavoured clear spirit.

The food on the other hand looks varied, and seems to be good value, so long as a) the portions are sensible, not meagre and b) they don't put up the prices on FA Cup Semi Finals day.

I remember 2019 the train up and then the walk from London Bridge through Borough Market was incredible. Albion literally everywhere.
I really don’t like Wembley in terms a place to get to or drink around so I’ll be doing my pre-match elsewhere.
I’m expecting this to be different to 2019 though in terms of plastic Man U also everywhere, unlike City’s tame efforts.

Outside the stadium there are designated areas for supporters with food, beer tents etc . We had a great time last semi final, (although the weather was in our favour). Lots of singing and drinking and free!
