    It's Ticketmaster / Wembley responsible for releasing the blocks. The club are aware of the issue as it was raised with them yesterday.

    It’s pretty appalling this, looks like Ticketmaster are forcing people to buy up in the gods before opening the rest of the middle tier, there’s only been 2 in the available blocks for hours now it’s crazy, unless it’s @Marc who’s asked em to hang on until his back to back meetings are finished and he’s on Wi-Fi ?

    Currently selling tickets for the purpose of the cameras to make it look full from the main angle

    I'm not buying this argument any more. Cos a match is never televised which influences which cameras show replays. It is always shown in the end areas which are not full.

    It's a penny pinching excuse for less stewards IMO and nothing more

    I heard ticket master sells blocks over the phone that aren't available on the website. Give that a try.

    47 left dotted about in bottom tier none in middle tier, yet there’s 5 blocks either side of the ones behind the nets that’s all gone absolutely madness!

    Seen somewhere it states due to the expected volume you most likely won’t get a response, Ticketmaster are conmen of the highest order.

    It fails miserably then on every occasion as Club Wembley, or whatever it's called, is always empty after half time and it looks dreadful on tv.
    It's as if nobody cares, they are only interested in their prawn sandwiches and wine.
