Because of the cost of seats/location?

I wasn't impressed with the upper tier so will be hoping for lower.

If they've all gone I ain't paying £70+ for the crap remaining seats including up stairs.
I know its a final and yes I've love to go but its only the C/C. I can always watch it on TV. If this was the FA cup this would be a different matter.

Also there's a time limit. Bit like when a home game goes from Silvers to red. The standbys are the registeration red members. if you get my drift? :? :lol:
I may be wrong, but I think all the tickets in the lower tier were £70+. That's what we've paid behind the goal, and they were £86 towards the halfway line. Methinks the cheaper tickets are all upstairs. No?

Also - best chance of getting a ticket at this stage is surely from Birmingham. Is no-one trying that route? I don't think I've ever been to a Wembley final where there hasn't been a decent number of supporters in the wrong end and I can't ever recall it being a problem.....
I'd seen the prices and remembered Wembley from the last time.
As the link says you can get the front of the lower tier (behind the goal) for £54. I'd go for the tickets further back in the lower tier (£70) but I'm really trying to avoid the upper tier.
I'm guessing most of the lower would have gone.

They are all going mate. The guys I know that haven’t been going as many home games have been going away to make up for it. So all have about 20+ credits.

Forgive my ignorance but how does that map tell you that the row counting starts from the back? :?

It doest start from the back. Not sure who said that??

I am in the first set of sold out £54 tickets. This is the first rows in lower tier behind the goal.

I got my ticket dead on 9am which means it starts from the front

It was Eboue-Why that mentioned this.

I told him after he bought the tickets that the upper tier wasn't great in terms of atmosphere. Views are great but its like the upper of the Grove.

He's booked his ticket (£38 ) in row 15 upper tier.
Now I could have told anyone from the price that the £38 tickets upper tier are at the very back of Wembley.
This is what Eboue-why has just worked out from the map.

I'm not sure on which way the rows go but in the Semi-final we paid the slightly more expensive price and was nearer the front of the upper tier.

Whether the front (£54) only comprises of the first 10 or so rows, for example, then the rest (£38 ) 11+ towards the back I don't know. (?)

That’s exactly right.

The £38 tickets are all the upper tier from mid rows back.

The £54 are first set of rows of upper tier and first rows of lower tier rows 1-15

1 successful, 1 unsuccessful :? :?

because we can't decide who's going to attend between us, I have a ticket to sell, in the £54 section.

PM me if interested.
