Wembley Ticket Update Thread

[BFC1997]

It may be right on our doorstep but by public transport its over an hour and theres a lot of engineering works so considering past disappointments and the fact we had 27k for the JPT just two years ago, and the fact that tickets are expensive just over 20k is alright IMO

 

[RitchBee]

Slightly disappointed we only sold 20,000 when Wembley is on our doorstep and it's arguably the biggest game in the last 20 years.

Prices are too dear more sensible pricing would have seen nearer 25k.

Postman attempted to deliver mine today (back of lower tier) but since I was not at home and a signature is required I have had to visit the sorting office to collect. Long, long wait.
Leaving collection until Saturday may be a bit risky.

Our postman must have had an extra two hours put on his round in Twickenham. My son signed for mine this morning and the postie said he'd been delivering them all morning in our area.

Bringing me stepson down with me for the match who's a Stockport fan! He'll see what proper football and supports all about!

If it's Terry he's a Bees fan so won't mind!

Sorry but I just don't see how 30 and 40 pound is too much for a game of such importance and I am skinter than most.

 

[bkk bee]

Would imagine there will be a pay on the day gate?

I don't think Wembley do that anymore. I used to do that at the old Wembley and saw some great play-off games - York v Crewe, Burnley v Stockport amongst others.

There are engineering works every weekend I think it was 18 months I couldn't get to euston or kings x on the circle line. Peolpe just work round it and use other routes.

Its not the loyal fans like you that have gone missing though, its the neutrals that'd go if it was cheap

IIRC the JPT wasn't organised aswell as this with regard to singing section so fingers crossed. This games more important aswell and it'll be less of a day out and more of a football match than the JPT so fingers cross

footballs not worth what people pay to watch it. the fa and clubs are simply milking fans loyalty. cheapest tickets for adults should be no more than 20

There were 'singing blocks' last time and it was still sh*t. Don't get your hopes up pal.

Why it's more than that to get in at brentford

My brother is running a bus from The Price Albert pub, 54-56 Hounslow Rd, Twickenham TW2 7EX. 15 places left at £12 each return. Please call or text him direct if you are interested. 07957597413 No better place for a swift Guinness or two before we travel!

Was just a day out and we didn't score , it will be very very different on Sunday . As long as we ain't 2 down after 2 mins

 

[twickersbee]

I think if the attendance is 43,000 + this will be bigger than Liverpool and Chelsea away and the play off versus stoke and make this the highest attendance to watch a Brentford match in many years? Another piece of history on a very historical season if I'm right?

 

[Raybfc123]

Just asked mark devlin on.twitter about tickets ending Thursday, said unsold had to be returned on Friday to Wembley, so there's your answer!

That's right. But it's looking as though it might struggle to top 40,000 at the moment.

 

[Womble Bee]

thought the same thing.....are we mental or something???....some people wont decide till saturday if they are going or not, surely it makes sense to keep open as long as possible ???? beggars belief !!

We aren't selling 'our' tickets - we are selling Wembley tickets and as such they have to be returned to Wembley prior to the game. If as you say people decide on Saturday to go then fine, turn up Sunday and pay on the gate.

 

[Womble Bee]

Does seem odd to stop selling tickets so early. All true fans will have had plenty of time to get tickets by then, but I know a group of four who can only come depending on something else, and won't know until Friday. I'm sure as more and more press articles start being published, others will start to think about coming along too. Not the end of the world, but a shame nonetheless.

Buy on the day then, not a problem

 

[Womble Bee]

Yes they do, can pay on the day

21,300 sold according to Mark Devlin on twitter.

 

[PartTimeBeesFan]

Hi all, only posting this here as this is the thread with the most amount of replies so hoping someone sees this and helps/directs me to appropriate post

anyone know of any coaches/fan buses (besides the official brentford ones) on the day? The engineering works on the day have made it extremely difficult to get to wembley for me and driving isn't an option considering the ridiculous car park prices at wembley!.

Ps, got my ticket today, you reddddddddsssssssssssssssss

Not sure where you are coming from but if you can get to Stanmore which is on the Jubilee line & about 20 min journey

 

[nick logan]

21,300 sold according to Mark Devlin on twitter.

Pretty good I reckon

 

[Ken Richardson]

If my memory serves me correctly, didn't we have close to 25,000 for the Wembley JPT final against Carlisle ?. I was there and our half of the stadium looked pretty full.

You are correct sir

Coming from Hounslow TW, My previous route would have been drive to earls court and get the tube to wembley but now planned engineering works on the DISTRICT LINE ruined those plans *sigh*

Coach from pub in whitton I saw earlier mate

 

[whyteleafebee76]

21,300 sold according to Mark Devlin on twitter.

I'm happy with that, might creep up to 22,000 by Sunday with a few more pay on the days, that's a pretty good effort and will look a decent turnout for the cameras. I was never a fan of twitter but Mr Devlin is very informative on it, long may that continue.

[Brentford]

yeovil will have to swim here

 

[Babbelfish]

Yeovil have sold 16k as at yesterday tea time. They seem reasonably confident that tickets will be available on the day.

The hike to £52 has put a few people off I know.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

I'm going to intercept the tickets being returned to the FA and like a modern day Robin Hood will distribute tickets around the streets of Brentford (and surrounding areas) giving the tickets away to grateful locals desperate to get to Wembley but unwilling to fork out £52+ and thus robbing the rich (The FA, I hate you) This is a lie by the way. Hello Ken.

 

[Paul_T]

Tickets came today.

Unfortunately, neither of us were in.

So I now have a nice card to take to the local sorting office (as long as I give them 48 hours notice and take my passport).

Good number. With those in hospitality plus last minute and pay on the gate I reckon 23,000 Bees. Gonna be a good'un.

 

[Herbert]

Why I'm bothering to justify myself to you I don't know but for the record I daresay unless you're over 50 I've done more pitch invasions at Brentford than you and you're unlikely to be louder than me as I'd know of you! My daughter was on the pitch after the game and thoroughly enjoyed it but unlike you recognised as did 95% of fans that enough was enough and cleared the pitch shortly after being asked. Now give it a rest you're boring the life out of me, I wished you well last week but you had to come back with an extra dig.
I'm asking you nicely to let it lie, you enjoy the final and do shout, scream, sing or streak for all I care but stop telling me how I should support the team I've loved and followed for 44 seasons.

yes why are you.so boring you keep on repyling.so now its a competition of whos done more pitch invasions?your the one who went headcase over a light hearted post and started using insults,and giving it im the better man with it hahaha.then dig me out in response to someone elses post,yet tell me im persisting and boring hahahah love it.now its a competition whos been going longer,oh dear

if your going to be so over the top about a lighthearted post then i am going to wind it up,every time you give it the moral high ground,say thats it from you then no more replies,then do so everytime

Pity you don't get promotion based on how many tickets you sell.

 

[JasonBee]

im not to bothered how many fans turn up as long as the team turns up, that's all that matters.
Maybe some fans just cannot put themselves through the thought of watching brentford lose again in a final especially if they went to the previous 5.
