This makes me VERY mad. Did you see the empty seats today? And I don't just mean in them bloody corporate seats around the half way line. They were empty eats dotted about all over. I would have to love to have been there today and would happily pay good money for a ticket. I applied for 2 tickets (just 2!) for the Croatia game in November and didn't get drawn out in the ballot so therefore cannot get tickets. No doubt there will be plenty of empty seats then aswell! It makes my blood boil. Not only that - did you see the stream of fans leaving 10 minutes from the end. I know we were 3-0 up but thats no reason to lave before the end. There are plenty of people willing to pay good money and sit there right to then end. It makes me so mad ( ( (
Agreed Anyone leaving early should be shot by snipers on the roof! Also a pack of rabid dogs should be released in the concourse as soon as the half starts to make people go back to their seats.
The Best I Can Do Is......... have my cousin bless her bring me back a programme, which I will get tomorrow. I've every programme for a full international at the new Wembley and never been to a match
RE: too right it is pathetic! It is a shambles. You have go through a right rigmarole to get tickets. You have to register for a FAN number (you need one each aswell) you then have to register the numbers in a ballot and then you have to wait so long and then the FA send you an email to tell you if you've been succesful or not. I think a better way would be to send so many tickets to all league clubs and then you go to your own box office to get them. First come first served.
How would you allocate by league club Would it be an equal number per club, or pro-rata based upon average attendance? The fairest way would be the latter I'd think.
RE: How would you allocate by league club Totally agree. Allocate them based on average attendance. Might also be better to 'scatter' the tickets so that you don't end up with a load barnsley fans sat together next to a load of owls or blades. Could kick up trouble!
