Wembley Ticket Update Thread

[sgaz]

The tickets say Brentford/Swindon as they did not know who would be in the final when they were printed.
Stop panicking.

The Yeovil ones will say Yeovil/Sheff Utd.

Bah. I was hoping their's would say Brentford v Swindon on them too. That would amuse me no end.

Do people know that when you are viewing the threads from the Forum tab or New Posts tab if you click on the small blue circle icon with 2 white arrows pointing down it goes to the last post you have read up to on that thread. Thus seeing what has already being posted and not having to ask the same question multiple times on the same thread!

 

[Bee Gee]

My 11 tickets arrived at 11am this morning...

 

[8 Bee]

My 5 tickets have just arrived.

The Luton-supporting postie wished us luck as we deserved it after the Donny fiasco.

 

[devonbees]

How many have we sold ??????????????

Can we have an up to date total put on the club website please.

 

[Rusholme Bee]

Cannot be ****ed to read through 45 pages to see if this has already been asked, so I apologise if this is annoying. I bought 5 £40 tickets, and they've arrived. Thing is, we've been given seats in Block 130, which as far as I can tell, is usually £52 a seat. Either we've been upgraded for some reason which I'm not going to complain about, or there's been a **** up - has this happened to anyone else?

I don't reckon the club know the exact figure.
Ticket Zone + club + Brentford corporates = ?

[Rusholme Bee]

12. Am I being an idiot?

 

[Bungy Bee]

Ticket arrived this morning......the postie even knew our managers name....wished us good luck on Sunday.........YOU REDs...

 

[Brentford_till_die]

12. Am I being an idiot?

I believe the back row is 44 and the £52 seats are for the last 17 rows
Front 10 rows are the £30 and in the middle is £40

Thanks. Unclear from the diagram on Ticketzone!

 

[thombee]

Tickets came an hour ago

 

[detours]

Tickets are just being posted through the letterbox right? No signatures or any of that stuff required?

 

[Rusholme Bee]

Yeah mine just came through the letterbox.

 

[GRJ]

Err, my ticket says v Swindon Town

 

[MetalBee]

What's that knocking on my door?

Woohooo it's the postman!

All 9 tickets here safe and sound

I'm curious though as they ALL say full price on them yet some are juniors and some are seniors, I take it it's not important which one is used on entry?

 

[Mkbee]

all tickets say Brentford/Swindon as they were all printed prior to the Semi Final, and you will notice they are all full priced, even if you have paid concessions as well.

 

[bow.bee88]

Tickets printed before play off games so hence swindon on ticket.Tickets will be scanned on gate and junior and senior tickets can be identified.Could be some confusion though if one of the parties turn up late,only to find he has a junior ticket.

 

[staines_bee]

Tickets delivered.

To my astonishment, Mr Postman says 2 other houses down my road are also Bees supporters. :looks:

Phew don't want to go through that again

COYR

 

[MetalBee]

That's what I don't get, sure the scanners on the turnstiles can likely identify which tickets are kids, which are seniors and which are adults but when they all say "full price" on them how are we supposed to know which ones are which?

Say for example my Uncle who's a senior walks in before me to use the toilet say whilst I'm enjoying the Wembley surrounding and he goes in with what turns out to be a general adult ticket.

I then come in 10 minutes later only get told by the scanner I have a seniors ticket.

What happens then?

Cant see there being any problems, tickets were in a strip, torn off and sold. I bought 6 tickets, 5 adults 1 junior and i wont be going in with them. If anything it will be juniors going through with adult tickets.

 

[wanderer paul]

There won't be a problem. You've been entrusted to purchase tickets in the relevant categories. They'll be accepted on the turnstiles no matter what you paid. If people have purchased senior or child tickets for an adult, then that's their problem and they'll have to look at themselves in the mirror after they've cheated the club/s out of revenue.

Just stop asking questions!

All tickets have Brentford/Swindon on them. All tickets are the same. None are categorised. Just get to Wembley and enjoy the day!

I will be enjoying the day, just checking beforehand so am prepared for nothing but total enjoyment of the Bees promotion party.

 

[badgerbee]

Still a bit worried about this full-price/concessions business.............
7 in our party.....4 full price, 3 concessions....due to 2 travelling up from Devon on the day (1 a concession) who aren't sure on route/arrival time, we'll be posting them their tickets in advance and meeting up inside the ground.
What happens if we unwittingly post them 2 full price tickets leaving us with only 2 full price tickets for 3 adults??........Not gonna be happy if the turnstile light shows my ticket to be a kids one and I'm denied entry.........

Any thoughts??

Would probably be more of a surprise if you lived in Edinburgh

I know one of them. They don't seem like the footballing types if you know what I mean.

Never judge a book by it's cover, those nuns outfits might be their witness protection identity. lol

Do not think Senior, Adult, Junior tickets can be identified.

I picked up 15 senior, 14 adult and 6 junior tickets yesterday - The tickets were just counted from a strip and passed over - No bar code markings were taken and none heve Senior or Junior written on them - All have adult written on them.

I have no doubt our ticket office keeps close track of how many are sold in each catergory as they have to settle their account with the FA - But I could see no evidence of any ticket being allocated to any catergory.

So hopefully BFC sold 17,000.00 Senior tickets, 7,800 Junior tickets and 32 Adult Tickets

It is normal practice for many clubs to just print Adult tickets and then mark them as Senior or Junior with an indelable marker when sold at a concession price.

Are you on a wind up?

There are no markings on the tickets. Just turn up. The club have trusted you to buy from the relevant category your ticket for the game.

ps. We definitely have the Green Man. :no:

The club had such short time scales to sell them that it was impossible to mark tickets as well as sorting out where people wanted to sit. Wembley sent them in blocks of 4's but with tickets not running concurrently. So they had to sort them all out so people could turn up and block buy them together. I wonder if the Millwall debacle with in fighting was part of this problem?

Best of luck on the day. Maybe see you in the pub.......?

Have you got it in writing and is there an authority letter we can produce when we enter the Green Man? lol

 

[Bookie bee]

I would just like to say i'm worried that people aren't worrying enough
on this thread.Thats a big worry off my chest.:horns::horns::horns:

Also is there a designated singing section in the Green Man:bound::bound::bound:

 

[GABS]

I'm worried I don't know how many we've sold thus far. It's an awful worry.

 

[LingfieldBee]

My tickets just arrived in post

 

[Simon W]

Will entry to the Green Man and order of being served at the bar be governed by Brentfords customer charter? ie ST's first follwed by Memberships? and any beer left will then go on General sale?

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

The tickets are impossible to differentiate between so how will any different coloured lights show up ? If a steward says anything just explain .

 

[GEOFFBEE]

Missus missed the bloody postman

I feel sure he will still write to her now and then...

Busy with the milkman

 

[Hullbee]

Ripping of the club.... Given the small percentage they recieve from ticket sales I would not be ashamed to purchase a concession and then buy something in the club shop!!

Nothing like the Gpg for collective bed wetting over trivial matters

 

[Debbee]

Missus missed the bloody postman

So did I ...have to be signed for so have to collect from the Post Office, but have to allow 4 hours.

 

[Robi Bee]

Can someone confirm this? Me and the missus both out at work all day, kids in school, ie no-one in during the day. If its a signature needed and ends up going back to some friggin sorting office, Im going to start sweating.....

[N16QPR]

4hrs is quite good, in some areas is 48hrs.
