That's the trouble - I'm not!! I might buy it and stage a mini "secret millionaire" amongst family and friends to see who (out of those old enough to attend alone) might deserve an unexpected suprise... :cheers:

TBH could do with the £650 tyhat no doubt the "football family" will be selling there's for, but you can guarantee it'll be my one that ends up going to the prat that gets chucked out and end up losing my ST... :tickedoff:

On holiday in Cyprus, hubby spent an hour on two phones getting either number unobtainable tone or recorded message saying "this number does not exist". Recruit neighbour at home in UK to log in, status bar gets to the end just as husband gets through on phone. Although going by the article on the main page I'm glad we got through before he did. Usual eff up by the club.

Now all I've got to do it break the news to my son who I've told I'm hosting a big family do so we can all watch together on the box... or break the news to the Mrs who will now be hosting ?? :fryingpan:
What time is the window, 10-12?

Got mine in the end for £50 - was some choice but not loads... seem to be a few "barrier in view" ones about??? Why would you plan a new stadium to have that????

Reckon there may be a few more e-mails pop up gradually so worth keeping them peeled... This buying window ends at 4pm so guess wil be tomorrow if anything left?

Any chance you can update the seating map to see what's left? Still clinging on for that last golden ticket to get into the chocolate factory!

The maps already posted here are from a "live" link so will show up to date availability, e.g.

Bear in mind that a block showing as yellow may only have one or two tickets remaining.
