Has anyone had their Wembley tickets yet ?

With the potential for postal strike, I'm beginning to worry

I haven't had mine either. Checked with Ticketmaster, they've been dispatched in the last couple of days.

My Ticketmaster account says "dispatched" now as well. It would be helpful if it gave the actual date of dispatch though

I'm still waiting for the Bears to play at Wembley *praying emoticon*

I hope the Bucc's win.

You need to build a time machine and set it to 1986 mate. I was there.

So out of the weekend's games anyone want to try picking the point margins and see how close they get?

The ESPN headline says it all

Browns edge Bills in battle of ineptitude


Who'd have thought that the Broncos and Vikings would both be 5 and 0 ?

HAHAHA

I have never met a Browns fan, but my bartender at the bar we go to for gameday is a Bills fan.

He had such high hopes after that first Monday night game.  He actually flew out to Miami for the Dolphins game (they lost)

[ADVILLAFAN]

I picked the Panthers to win. Didn't see the Broncos or Browns winning and I had the 49ers beating the Falcons  :-/

We have the Falcons next, the Sunday night game and I have Monday off so that I can watch it :-D

Hope the Rams are as bad when they play us.

Washington cost me just over a grand! :@

[Drummond]

Washington didn't. Your bet did.

Entertainment for Wembley is confirmed. Can't say I'm impressed by Harris but Jenkins singing is always good.

Chart-topper Calvin Harris will get the 85,000 fans ready for action before the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers do battle at Wembley Stadium on Sunday October 25.

 

Harris, whose 'Ready For The Weekend' album went to number one in August, will headline the pregame show [Calvin Harris will perform pre-game at Wembley. Photo AP] before the Pepsi Max International Series, the third competitive, regular-season match the NFL has staged in London.

 

A gold-record holder from his first release, 'I Created Disco', Harris's Wembley performance will include the number-one single 'I'm Not Alone'.

 

Award-winning singer Katherine Jenkins will perform 'God Save The Queen' before the teams kick off. The first artist to win two successive Classical BRIT Awards, the mezzo-soprano from Wales has released six number one classical albums and has performed national anthems at rugby internationals, the FA Cup final and an Ashes Test match. The performer of the United States national anthem has yet to be announced. [Katherine Jenkins will sing the English national anthem at Wembley. Photo AP]

 

Last year, Stereophonics performed the pregame show, with Joss Stone and Ne-Yo singing the national anthems. At the inaugural International Series game in 2007, The Feeling were the headline act with Paul Potts and Jocelyn Brown performing the anthems.

 

The Patriots-Buccaneers game - a matchup of two teams who have won four of the last eight Super Bowls between them - kicks off at 5 p.m. It will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 2 and BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra, with highlights on BBC Two later in the evening.

If anyone is still waiting for tickets, Ticketmaster says they have dispatched the last batch today.

Mine hasn't arrived yet. I'll give it until Friday and then start hassling Ticketmaster.
