Jeez theres some doom and gloom on here

We are through to wembley... Bags of seats, cheap ways of doing anything. 70% of posts just moaning about ****. Probably have less moaning if wed lost v fleetwood.

Right factamundos here:

Moaning about the booking fee:

Have a think how much it would cost in petrol to even drive to ground. Then put your hourly rate onto the 3h minimum spent in a queue at oakwell. Then put the fact you cant choose where you sit. Is a couple of quid really a lot for this facility?

Moaning about sitting together:

even if you cant get to one another is 90 mins with just 4 of you too much? You can only talk to 1/2 seats each side or behind.

Im not fussed where i sit. We wont sell out and there will be bags of space so just wait until general sale if you want 20 tickets together.

Anyway back to business - lets hope we continue our winning run v gills!

 

If you think it's bad on here you should see the bairning on the BFC Facebook page. On second thoughts, don't bother, you'll probably lose the will to live. Combine all the brain cells on there, and you'd still be some way short of Forrest Gump.

 

Standing in queue shooting **** in feeezing cold waiting for box office to open while birds from sandwich shop mske a killing sky sports and calender turning up... those were days.

 

Well said that man.....personally I think it's s great idea this tick master thing.....we've managed to get to Wembley and yet people still aren't happy....ffs!

I'd hate to be in house on night when they find they've got chips egg and beans and not there usuall sausage chips and egg

 

Bizarre innit.

I'd prefer it if the tickets were free, they came with a nice slice of cake and a chance to stroke some kittens, and then Carey Mulligan sat on my face. Reality is I've got to pay, and pay a booking fee, and I'm limited to 4 tickets on my season ticket card. It is what it is and no amount of complaining can change that. And I really, really, really want to go, so it's no hardship.

I actually think £28 for a Wembley final, for what will be a good view, is a reasonable price. £2.40 booking fee per ticket is a bit steep, but we get the tickets on-line, so none of us have to stand out in the cold queueing for a couple of hours in the middle of winter. As we won't sell out, giving season ticket holders more tickets on their pass may have worked out better, but as the kind folk on here informed me when I asked the question, I can link other season passes to my account (which I did without hassle), so we can all sit together.

I'm going to London for the weekend where I'll see my beloved team play at Wembley and (hopefully) win a trophy, which may be the only chance I get to see this. There's nothing in this world I'd rather do more. And before I factor in accommodation, it's costing me less than £50 for tickets and travel. ******* bargain.

 

If the Don had done the ticketing arrangements it would have been Jim Carrey sitting on your face...

 

You say that as if Jay wouldn't like it.

 

I think the club should pay us £25 each to attend the match, lay on a fleet of helicopters to take the fans from their homes (or from Oakwell car park for those with a garden too small for a helicopter to land) to Wembley.

The stadium should be modified so that each seat has taps supplying free beer, wine, tea, coffee, Bovril and (in the event of a defeat only) Jack Daniels. A private toilet is also provided per seat. Under the seat is a microwave oven where your free hand-crafted pie (normal price £13.80) can be warmed up, and a supply of oxygen which is automatically switched on if we're leading by 1 goal with 10 minutes to go.

The tickets will be custom made on the finest parchment with your face hand drawn on it by Mr C, and will be personally delivered to your door by Mason Holgate who will be loaned back from Everton especially for this purpose. The £25 will be paid by a specially minted BFC £24 coin and the remaining £1 will be personally posted through your letterbox by the Chief Executive of Ticketmaster. Kevin Long will not be allowed to play but this will be compensated for by John Stones' return following his ultimatum to Everton to release him from his contract so he can rejoin the reds as an unattached player.

Technology will be used to enhance your viewing experience. The referee's watch will be modified to be radio controlled, especially its injury time functions. The control unit for the watch will be situated in the Barnsley dugout under the seat. The goalposts will be movable, again under remote control from the Barnsley dugout, so that the distance between them (and between the crossbar and the ground) can be adjusted depending on which team is shooting. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle will be applied to Adam Hammill, so that the Oxford defenders will know he's there but they won't be sure exactly where he is.

After the match the fans will be transported back to the waiting helicopters by jet packs strapped to their chests, allowing them to beat the queues. Al fans are expected to be in Walkabout in tarn by 7pm after a fine day out.

 

Lovely cold and crisp Winter's morning. Been out with the dogs, came home fed & watered the birds in the garden, completed a 5000 word report for uni last night, have my daughter coming home for a short break on Saturday. Finally, enjoying as good a run as I've ever seen from my team, with every player making a positive contribution to the entertaining and winning football, getting through to Wembley for only the third time in our history, with a rare opportunity to pick up a trophy.
I'm one extremely happy old codger and am determined to enjoy this time, as they come round far too rarely.

 

and the site admins moaning about the moaners moaning about the moaning.

 

If no one moans then problems dont get ironed out, nice to see Bondy doing the ticketing queries and the club monitoring the response to ticketing.

Only way to improve things is by the two sides being able to communicate with each other.

The Centenary issue seems to have come to light that may not effect you and me our thousands more but if only a few are affected do we just sweep it under the carpet and forget about it. Supposedly we are in it together, our club.

What is good for some aint for others.

 

The quality of moaning has dropped off alarmingly since two members became, lets say "unbusy".

 

That should read quantity not quality.
