60% of middle tier is various "neutral" club wembley passes, mostly owned by London based corporate companies who use them for entertaining clients, annual pass covers all England games, FA Cup semis , FA Cup final, Carabao final and play offs. Company i work for had them for years, often went unused unless big 6 team involved. 

40% of middle tier is then split between teams competing like we had in semi final, Saints have already sold out of our allocation of those. Its a padded seat with a good view. 

Agree that take up by season ticket holders appears to be very high, we have 10k plus members who can buy from Monday afternoon 

I was in Club Wembley for the City game, was decent. Nice bars and food with a great view. The atmosphere is not as good though because you’re surrounded by neutrals.

If you can’t get a ticket from Saints you can usually get Club Wembley on resale online somewhere but they will be expensive.

Has all of that lower tier definitely gone on sale, or have they held some back again? Plenty  in the saints end behind the goal went on sale with those “extras” they released. 
 

The Monday morning ST window has opened already too although I can’t imagine there were many season ticket holders that didn’t go to Wembley a few weeks ago so that should be negligible. 
 

Doesn’t particularly fill me with much hope for Tuesday. Might have to explore club Wembley options at this rate.

There were some greyed out areas behind the goal but don't recall any individual blocks being greyed out.

Always hard to tell if more will be released in lower, probably see some if past games are anything to go on. 

6th visit to Wembley since 2017 , can't be many teams who have been there so often

Bearing in mind Manning hasn’t got tight to a right winger all season, that might be asking a bit much. Need to keep Belloumi busy with doubling up on Scienza 

Is Wellington fit enough?

This game will be our 7th visit there total which puts us level with Palace and the Skates and I think only 6/7 clubs ahead of us.

Edit - just checked and it's 6 clubs on more than 7 (not in order):

Chelsea

City

United

Liverpool 

Arsenal 

Villa 

 

Obviously I'm excluding Spurs 'home' games.

How have the skates managed 7 games there?

There’s a thread in the Lounge that might give you some pointers

You’d assume so, was on the bench on Tuesday. Manning has been great going forward this season so probably keeps his place, but switches off far too often at the back. Welington may have a big job to do off the bench

Their fans got robbed of their chance to visit a 7th time, let’s hope we don’t!!

What seats are left? Only top tier?

Category 3 tickets for me and the boy in Level 1.

And that's the thing Manning is having a brilliant season for goals/assists that it outweighs the potential defensive problems

Look I’m the first to have a go at Mannings defensive capabilities but he has been excellent recently. No need to change that as it’s working - Wellington will get another chance when the time is right but for me, Manning starts.

Yeah but only half upper tier has been put on sale so far, still plenty of tickets to go around especially if they end up giving us some additional again

A friend said there's a couple of blocks where families are. One is block 140.

They’ll be enough for everyone. Chance we get some of Hull’s allocation as they appear unlikely to sell out. Their egg chasing team is at Wembley the week after and some are choosing that instead apparently. 

[bender]

So if we all buy our tickets for Wembley and then we get kicked out, can we still keep our tickets and all turn up to boo Middlesborough for 90 minutes ?? 😁

There will be enough for everyone simply because some people have lost their taste for it.  I'll probably snap up a couple if tickets tomorrow at 1.30 but was considering giving it a swerve

Don’t swerve this one, this is literally one for the ages.  
 

I think it’s the last time we’ll make a playoff final for a while, Tonda will keep us up.

No way I’m booking the £50 parking with no refund until we hear the outcome of this bloody hearing!

Use the just park app, you can get a refund (less booking fee) up to 24hrs before you're due to park. I booked after the semi on Tuesday, 15 mins from Wembley stadium for £30.

No way I’m going if there’s a possibility of some gobby toothless   Teesider in a shell suit having to share a ticket and sit on my lap.

I agree and I put him in the lineup I suggested, it’s just a game and opponent I worry about him getting caught out a bit.

It’s ok I worry about our keeper constantly going walkabout to the center circle 😂

Hi

re Ticket availability.

Appreciate if anybody could give me some thoughts on whether as a couple of elderly saints members, from anybody's experience whether it might be worth us waiting a day or two to see if i can grab some 'better' tickets that are released later or from experience i should just grab 2 tickets whatevers available even if it is right at back on top tier?

Have people experienced buying tickets for wembley before only to find a later release of tickets would have provided a better choice?

ps i understand it would be a risk but i am wondering if peoples experiences suggest waiting could be a wise option?

do later releases of tickets often go to season ticket holders first - so buying now is a no brainer?

thanks

It happened for the semi final and I’d say this has a similar allure for club Wembley members so I’d gamble on waiting if I was desperate for a lower tier seat.
