    7:59, logged on to site.. Sat back patiently until 8:10 in the queue until it was my turn. Selected the block I wanted, cat 3 tickets which for me have best view in Wembley. Selected 4 adults and 2 concessions. Payment page, done and dusted all happy with confirmation by 08:20.

    Certainly beats freezing the nuts off outside oakwell for hours on end like our other visits to Wembles or Cardiff...

    Well done BFC and ticketmaster. :)

    Must have been my turn lol. I usually get the crappy service.. I was genuinely more than happy apart from not getting free tickets of course..

    Same here. Except I left it til later. Logged on at 11am fully expecting fun and games (after all the stuff I'd read on here), and prepared to leave it til later.

    Selected 6 tickets. Spent the next 10 minutes double checking I'd done it right because I couldn't believe the ease of it. Paid and printed of receipt. All done in less than 15 mins.

    When it works it's ace

    Few questions from me though :

    1. Why weren't we told we couldn't select more than 10 tickets of one category ?

    2. Why wasn't the pick your seat function enabled ?

    3. Why were over 60's tickets sold at £28 ?

    4. Why couldn't Ticketmaster's system cope and was logging people out at various stages ?

    5. Were certain sections held back ? And if so why weren't we trusted with that knowledge ? People have ended up in sections they didn't want it appears .

    There are several happy customers, but they are not gloating.
