We *all* sing. Easy. (Who was our special friend, are they not around anymore to ask this question?)

I've entered the ballot for Club Wembley (vomit).

I haven't read the last few pages so apologies if this has already been mentioned. Does anyone know whether it's a genuine ballot? As somebody who works in sales, it looks to me like it's a pretty clever way to ensure that people are fretting so much about not getting tickets that they'll be so grateful to have been 'picked' that they'll happily hand over their credit card details before they've had a chance to think, 'hang on, is this a sensible use of £800?'.

I entered the ballot after 5pm this evening and I was told I'll get a call from one of their sales team tomorrow, which seems like a quick turn around for a ballot!

Sorted mine this afternoon.
25 minute wait on the phone. Didn't get my preferred options, nevermind.
Bonus that several people couldn't get hold of me. I should make more personal calls at work more often.

Got mine last night - took about 10 mins - Area 238 (looks a decent seat from the Wembley View) - and I am by the stairs - which at my age is good just in case I need a toilet break, half way through the 1st half!

I agree with the comments of supporters who have been more to more than the 5 games, if I had been to 10+ games I would expect to get more chance of getting a ticket than someone who had been to just 5 games. - Best of luck to everyone who is after a ticket this weekend - hopefully by Monday all will be sorted and you will have your tickets.

I’m a long standing ST holder but had to wait an extra day until my kid became eligible through the Villa Cub scheme, bit surprised that at 3 o’clock there were plenty of seats together in the family section and at 5.05 when I go to the head of the queue, there were none available at all together. Which appears daft as the criteria was that any adult had to be accompanying a child, who wouldn’t be able to sit with them.

Other than that it was painless and quick, despite me having to buy in the upper tier which I didn’t want.

If you don’t know your log in details I’d request a reminder now, I asked via the website yesterday and still havent had a password reset link come through. I did it via my customer  ref number in the end.

Agreed, my thinking (hope) is that the club is probably fairly confident that anyone who has been to 5+ games that wants a ticket will get one and that's why the initial post ST criteria has been set at that.

I think a few people including me are having issues linking friends ref numbers to their own because they are already linked to others

Wasn’t the case for me, all ‘friends’ seemed to be cross referenced against each other. I’d be ringing the ticket office or going up there to get it sorted before they are too busy to do it.

Even the 5 plus category is subject to availabilty and I'd be very surprised if this is not a sell out by late Saturday night.

This is a daft system which needs sorted out - you shouldn’t be prevented from linking people ‘because they are linked to other groups’.

People naturally belong to several different friend and family groups, and trying to untangle that could link you to strangers who you wouldn’t necessarily trust with access to your reference.

I guess that if you belong to several different groups there is a risk that one of your mates will get you a ticket on an occasion when you wanted to go with your family, or a different group of mates, but generally, people communicate and know who is getting tickets for who on the day. More problems arise because you are supposed to be getting tickets for someone but can’t because they belong to a different group.

Maybe one for the SCG.
