Title: Wembley spares (if such a thing exists)
Post by: Sexual Ealing on May 15, 2019, 10:13:19 PM
Apologies if it's not appropriate for this to be its own thread. Mods obviously don't need me to tell them that they can merge if necessary, but please know, mods, that I'm extremely cool with that.

I'll pay double (or triple if it's the cheap ones) face value if anyone finds themselves with a spare. I love you all.

That's for the "CW Experience"  including hospitality. Seat only is 98 quid.

Looking for two spares in the event that sales don't make it to a 3 game booking history on behalf of my nephew. I'd offered several times to get him tickets for other games so nobody to blame but himself.

Off topic but how much is Club Wembley for NFL tickets? Can you buy just one game? Can't see it listed anywhere on the site.

I would also be interested if any spares are going. Only myself to blame as I book using my brother's account.

I enquired about hospitality tickets.  You have until 4pm today to register your interest, then all the names go into a ballot, and names get chosen at random and contacted tomorrow, apparently.

No, CW members get an email through which they can purchase the tickets. Nothing through the website which only offers the packages Risso referred to.

PGW, I like your story mate, respect that you've given up your ticket for your son due to a promise.

I have ST's for me and my two U17 sons. One son doesn't want to go so I have a spare Fan ID I'd be chuffed to let you use to get you to the final, sir.

After a spare for a Villa mad family member, if there's one going please. It's complicated as to why she doesn't qualify for a ticket through the club's criteria (mainly to do with work, home and travel commitments) but if she's lucky enough to get one she will bring 100% positivity and support for the team and all its players. UTV!

Looking for 1 ticket please - Could not get tickets for my 2 sons and myself. My younger son's company have 2 Club Wembley seats in the Derby half of the ground that they are willing to let him have for £100 per ticket. I've told him that him and my elder son should take the tickets and I'll take my chances at getting a ticket. I booked train tickets for the 3 of us from Manchester to Euston straight after the Albion 2nd leg last week, so I've got to go ! Any help would be much appreciated.

I've only been able to get to 4 matches this season and missed out today. Can I please humbly add my name here to the list of those looking for any spares from some very kind soul.
Title: Re: Wembley spares (if such a thing exists)
Post by: Tony Boucher on May 21, 2019, 12:16:41 PM
I'm after 1 or ideally 2 tickets - together or not together, doesn't matter.
I'm a ST holder, but bought a lot of extra tickets this season for my brother, his lad, and my lad - none of whom will be able to go at this rate, because I didn't get them a client ref!
Any kind souls out there who can help?

Edit:- I no longer need one
Title: Re: Wembley spares (if such a thing exists)
Post by: sonyhill on May 22, 2019, 09:43:06 AM
Apparently Derby have been given an additional allocation of 2k tickets that go on sale today. 

Just spoke to our ticket office.  They didn't know anything about it but said that if they do get any they will go on sale to where they left off - people with 3+ home game history. 

So keep them peeled if you have a 3+ history. 

.......

And if you are unable to use your reference would you mind getting me a ticket please (sorry, got to ask!).
Title: Re: Wembley spares (if such a thing exists)
Post by: Tony Boucher on May 22, 2019, 10:04:30 AM
We have had exactly the same allocation as Derby (36,000) - I confirmed this with the ticket office.
Derby's extra 2,000 takes them to 38,000, so it would be staggeringly unfair if we didn't get an extra 2,000 as well

AVFC Support's official response:

"Hi, the allocation Derby have received is from unsold Club Wembley seats on the East side of Wembley.

Due to the high demand for #AVFC tickets, ALL seats on the West Side have already sold out well in advance.

We will, therefore, not be receiving any more tickets."

Walking around the ground beforehand, there were touts looking to buy. They certainly weren't broadcasting it if they did have any to sell.

I only heard touts offering to buy spare tickets, never heard anyone say they had tickets for sale last year in and around the stadium.

They don't offer to sell out loud as then they are openly ticket touting, so they always say "buying", but really they are selling.
I was looking for a ticket for the FA Cup Final in 2015, and their starting price was £500, i eventually found someone near the turnstiles with a spare for £200. You just have to keep asking.

Cut long story short i'm after another ticket, Kieron of this parish very kindly helped me out with a ticket for myself last week, but my son who
had my original tkt had booked a limo to take him plus mates...been let down so now i have given one of my other sons my other tkt so he can fill part
of the void in limo. At my age no way would i contemplate going in limo. Fortunately my third son cannot go Monday as his partner about to give
birth to their first child, a daughter, my 5th grandchild. So if i fail to get another ticket at least i'm around for that although i'll freely admit i won't be anywhere near hospital whilst game is in progress.

Anyway i'm putting it out there...i'm after a ticket...pretty please. Needs to be from someone in or around Brum as being partially disabled do not wish to meet
in park wearing s pink carnation...u get my drift. At least if around Brum i can drive and pick up and pay.
