I bought a couple of £50 tickets today from the club, they are in the top tier

I imagine they are the cheapest tickets going,
Was anyone up there for the semi, and what's the view and atmosphere like ?



I was in row 5 in block 544, despite being very far away from the actual pitch the view is good and the atmosphere was electric. Everyone behind the first few rows (as far as I could see at least) were stood up and singing the whole game. Felt quite similar to Newcastle or Sunderland away, if you happen to have been to those.

I was also worried it wouldn't be as good up there but it was brilliant.

Side note: buying mine tomorrow, was it only upper tier available to you?

Currently 8 upper blocks and 1 lower block being sold on with a mix of availability. I'm not clever enough to figure out how to post the picture form the official site. Maybe someone else could?

Thanks for that fella's, sounds good

Chipsticks,
 I could only get the £50 tickets on line, the bottom tier came up as not available to me, so instead of hanging on the phone hoping for the bottom tier I just went for it,
It's a final ticket at the end of the day

Cheers for the info, I was just curious - honestly I don't mind where my seat is aslong as I can get one!

It varies from day to day anyway. Last time there was only upper tier available on the day Mr amfy qualified for tickets, but the next day they were selling lower tier tickets just near ours - which we had got on day 1! There is no rhyme or reason to it.

At this stage, if it gets to your day then you just have to take the best you can get, & not think too much about what else might be available tomorrow - it might be sold out tomorrow.

I am still hoping to land a couple on Wednesday - its nervy times!

I've been sent an email about joining Club Wembley. Way out of my price range but if anyone is desperate enough PM me your email and I'll forward.

Each event includes free train travel between London and Birmingham on the day. Which is a bonus

I'm just getting 'nervy' too, sitting here with the computer ready for the 2 o'clock window.
Good luck on Wednesday

We were on the very back row and the view was fantastic as was the atmosphere. We had to stand throughout and was worried my son wouldn't see but the way it's raked meant he had no problem and was able to sing his little heart out!

In case anyone wants to know, today's blocks are:

132 and 128 have very limited availability.

The rest of the blocks are in the top level, roughly in the corners.

Sorry have saved the screen shot, but being a techno phobe, haven't worked how to post the image in the message.

I've just had a couple of people contact me asking me to name my price for what I'm told is a very rare pressing of 'Never Mind The Bollocks', normally I'd ignore such requests but I've named my price.

A pair of FA Cup final tickets.

I haven't heard back as yet.

Surprised Mussolini's a Sex Pistols fan.

Stupid phone.

Turning rebellion into tickets...
All over , people changin their seats
along with their travel plans
