Sales are fairly consistent at the same point as the semi final

Lower , middle tier sell out to season ticket holders ans a bit of the upper. 

Once tickets go on sale to members most of current upper will go quickly and they'll then start to open up additional blocks , as happened last month 

Im hoping to get mine tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed.

[Toadhall Saint]

Just had my email from the club letting me know when (as a member)  I can purchase my ticket.

Does Saints know the outcome? Looks a faily confidant post. Boro will be complaining...

The social media team will do what they do regardless.

Yeah I wouldn't read anything into it. We have to continue to prepare for the match as usual until such time as we're told otherwise.

[jamesfp1]

Hull training this morning must be weird. Preparing for a match that may not go ahead or with an undetermined opponent.

How long before the next window opens does the queue normally start? 

[RedArmy]

Ignore that, I’m in the queue

Usually 15 mins or so but you can get in too soon and not be able to buy anything. Always a little stressful for those doing the booking for their groups. Why always me? (Balotelli 2011).

Careful you don’t end up timing out when buying, sometimes kicks you out.

[RedArmy]

What a fucking dipshit system 😂 Why put me in a queue that ends before the window opens.

Sky Sports was tentatively promoting the game today in an ad break during  Sky Sports News.... just a bog standard title screen and voice over job.

Weird, I just get an error message

I wouldn’t worry. You just end up on the ticket page to see a not on sale message. 

[saintstowin]

The error thing isn't unusual. 

I've got that in the past (and today) and then when seats go on sale I've been able to click on the buy tickets link and it has remembered I was in the queue and allowed me to buy tickets.

However this probably isn't consistent and foolproof.

It's what I'm doing today but I could be at the back of the queue come 130.

Because they're not on sale until 13:30. You don't want to get in before the window opens

[Britannia]

If you're early or get an error, don't refresh, just follow links to get back to the page you want.

Didn't the ticket news say they take down sales 15 mins before each new window opens, then open it up again , next window at 13.30

This... our ticket website is almost as amateurish as our spying department

Shhhh. Don't tell the Boro fans. They will convince themselves that us taking the tickets off sale is ABSOLUTE PROOF that we're being kicked out.

[RedArmy]

I got in but got kicked out. 
 

There’s some level 2 stuff on sale again today. 

[Saint Scott]

I got cat2 put my payment details in and then got booted back to the queue.

My payment has succesfully gone though?

[waterlooville saint]

That's a Bummer. Selectred my seat, just finished the purchase process and it's kicked me out and put me back in the queue 😡 3000+ people ahead of me.

Hope it doesn't happen again.

 ... Now received my ticket via email. Guess there are a few gremlins in the system!!

Just had email confirmation, thank fuck for that!

[SNSUN]

Poxy stupid work. I've done nothing all day and the minute I wanna join the sodding queue.....

 

...anyway I'm in the queue. Now the waiting begins. Over 4000 - was about that for the City game and that took around half an hour/40 minutes.

[Mattio]

Are they actually going to check if people are concessions? Surely it's worth the risk... 

[goodymatt]

I was also just paying and it kicked me out, now 1551 in the queue, fun and games of getting in too early, as I warned

[iansums]

I've got someone buying tickets on my behalf, not sure if it's extra stressful or not

[Whitey Grandad]

"Position in queue: 5648"

[Cuddles]

Wow, 5000 in front on me 🤣

Even more annoying, I was in the queue and it kicked me out of it and put me into position 6500...

[LGTL]

I am buying on behalf of my Dad in this window and managed to pay and check out at 1.20. Surprised it didn’t whack me back into the queue as technically I brought it 10 minutes early. Loads of club wembley has opened up so he’s buzzing with that 

[SNSUN]

I hope I get a ticket. I can't wait to see the mighty Hull batter Middlesbrough. 

[Mattio]

I'm not sure why the club use this shit system, surely there's much better options available?

Think I was incredibly lucky, must of hit confirm payment just as they kicked anybody inside back to the queue.

There were plenty of seats left, opened some lower blocks right round to behind the goal

Have they opened up all our blocks for sale now, or still holding some back?

I'm not that concerned as I'm going alone, there are usually plenty of single seats dotted around. My only real stipulation is getting an aisle seat, because I have a tendency to shit myself when I get excited. Oh, and I have long legs.

There was a single seat right behind the goal in the lowest tier

[SNSUN]

I've dropped nearly 1000 in the queue in 7 minutes. So people shouldn't really be waiting more than half and hour or so to get in.

At least I hope so as my shift finishes at half 2 and there's no way I'm leaving to have to re-join the queue again.

Duly noted, though I do like being higher up where the air is crisp.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Ah damnit. Logged on just after half 1. Now number 6000 odd in the queue

I'm sure the people on your row will be thankful, but I feel for anyone sitting below you

[Britannia]

All done, no stress.

Fairly decent view from almost the centre.

Thing that worries me about digital tickets is that it leaves a single point of failure.  Fine at SMS where I can just pop round to the ticket office but I'm not sure what happens here if something fails.

Could be bottom tier with the smells rising up. Swings and roundabouts when it comes to faeces.

[Mattio]

If there ends up being no safe standing left I might just leave it and see if more go on sale, I'd rather go to a busy pub than sit quitely on row ZZZZ and pay £60 for the privilege

There’s a ticket office at Wembley, and they usually fill at least one of the windows with a member of each clubs staff on match day.

Yay... I got Club Wembley level tickets too... love a bit of posh, me...

[Saint Scott]

They've opened some more blocks from when I purchased.

We have an extra couple of Hull blocks at the top by the looks of it too?

[Cuddles]

The queue on the Middlesbrough site is quicker for those struggling.
