I'm guessing on sale to all members on Friday if the sales for STH aren't high.

 

But if they sell well, it'll go down on priority points for members?

 

Desperate to go to this, but just got my first membership, with hardly any points.

 

Work situation means I can go to more games now.

You will definitely get a ticket. Even if all STH's bought a ticket, there would be 3,000 left for members.

 

It will go to general sale next week I would imagine.

I don't think we'll sell out 27k tickets in London in 10 days you know.

I would agree, we struggled last time and it was our first Wembley appearance in 16 years and first at new Wembley. Plus there was no pandemic and a 4/5 week sale period. Be surprised if we get close. I expect us to take about 22k maybe? Which is a shame but quality over quantity.

Some inconsistent information regarding when members can putlrchase. Friday or Saturday?

Many things wrong with this.

 

1. The 30th July is a Friday

2. Initially the announcement was for members sale to start Friday 30th July

3. An email I received stated that members sales are from Saturday 31st July

 

So in summary, members can buy from either Friday 30th July or Saturday 31st July, the club haven't decided yet.

It's not great, is it!

[AKCJ]

Normally it'd be fine but does anyone know if buying a ticket under the season ticket of someone who is on holiday can be used by someone else? Worried they'll be quite hot on it with corona virus restrictions and with what happened in the Euros final.

[adejo92]

If they are print at home tickets, surely people could just edit the name prior to printing. Would take about 20 seconds on Photoshop!

 

Extreme but I'm pretty sure ticket touts will go to such lengths, especially with the money that can be made for the demand of teams like Man Utd on the ticket black market.

 

Surely they can't check names and ID for everyone that enters?

[Lesterlad]

My opinion what its worth is that the checks will be more stringent due to the morons at the Euro final. They will not want any repeat of that in future and will use to game as a starter.

 

But I may be wrong

I think the checks will be more stringent up until 30-45 mins before k.o. Then faced with thousands queueing after 4pm ish the efficiency will go out the window.

The stewards will have been fully briefed but lets not forget they're still minimum wage bods.

Pay peanuts........

I think this probably explains the differing experiences between fans at the fa cup game.
