    Ah that must be it then. I'm just bloody slow!

    Quite a few tier 3 seats left, so I should think there will be some for us non-ST holders

    Surely you can just go as a neutral can't you if you get desperate?

    Just buy the tickets from Wembley ticket site, not the club?

    I heard that tickets will go on sale to no ST holders @ 6pm on Wednesday. Not sure what will be left but there's always the neutral section surely?

    I got level 2 tickets heading towards the corner flag. It want too bad to get them, logged in with 2 laptops and both took about an hour or so - one timed me out straight away but luckily had the other one as backup!

    Thoroughly looking forward to it although I am at a festival in Lincolnshire on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday......... I could be pretty rough and tired heading to Wembley!!

    You can only buy tickets through the club websites at the moment. With our allocation of nearly 39,000, it stands to reason that there shouold be at least 10,000 or so tickets on general sale, as there are c.25,000 season ticket holders and then several thousand priority members (they stopped selling priority membership).

    I've had a quick look at the stadium, and after Tiers 1 and 2 filled up rapidly, ticket sales have slowed down a lot for Tier 3 - presumably because most people who can buy tickets have! On Wednesday I would think there will still be several thousand tickets available.

    Yeah that is when the EDP says they'll be released.

    I think it's bloody annoying that having a purchasing history means nothing - anyone could have logged in to the website after the match and bought priority membership and jumped in to get tickets, but there are plenty who are only able to make away matches...

    Then on Wednesday it will open to everybody anyway

    I have bought several tickets and shirts by calling the ncfc hotline and a member but i don't think I'm a priority member.

    Pretty much what I was saying when I was in the queue today - they should not have sold 'priority memberships' after the final whistle on Saturday!!!
    Fairly happy with the seats I've got.

    How did you get tickets then? Are you a season ticket holder?

    Yes, I have had 2 season tickets for years and because they're under the same number, I couldn't link them and buy on Sat evening - still, got them now!! <ok>

    My mum managed to sort me out, I'll be sat in block 118 lower tier in one of the corners, cost me about £54 I think. I would have preferred to be in one of the upper tiers, but musn't grumble too much.

    A colleague went to the ticket office at lunchtime today and was told tickets will not go on general sale. ST and Priority members will be entitled to one additional ticket each (one per customer number) from Wed onwards. The view seems to be that there will not be any left once this additional allocation has been taken. Good luck to all who are still trying to get hold of one! On a slightly different subject does anyone know which pubs at Wembley we have been allocated yet? I

    Mmmmmmm, if that is the case it's very unfair.

    I agree that Season ticket holders should get first refusal and also Priority members but to not give ANY tickets to the general public is a bit wrong IMO. I have emailed them to see what the deal is. It's a bit tricky as my son who is 6 wants to come so I need 2 tickets. If what your saying is correct there is no way that I will be able to get tickets from NCFC. I will have to see if I can get tickets by other means.

    Since when did Tories start worrying about things being "unfair" ? Sounds like a classic case of the 'haves' trumping the 'have nots' to me....

    This is correct. The one additional allocation they will be allowed does not need to be bought for a ST holder/Priority Member, it could be for anyone (whereas the eight they first bought apparently all had to be for ST holders or Priority Members).

    Having a previous booking history makes no difference. I never got priority membership because I haven't ever had a problem getting away tickets. The really frustrating part is that priority membership was on sale until Sunday morning, so there were (as you can imagine) a lot of people quick off the mark who got their priority membership then booked tickets.

    The one additional ticket thing is slightly odd - if you've already bought your tickets, why would you want one more? There will almost certainly be no space next to you, so this is bound to just produce a secondary market in ticket selling...

    Very disappointed with the way the club has handled this - I know that Villa do booking history for the FA cup final and that makes much more sense for what is genuinely a once in a lifetime type opportunity.

    I couldn't agree more. The first mistake was allowing people, who possibly had not been to any games for years to purchase 'Priority Memberships' from Sat evening. I saw posts from people on social media who normally gloat about Chelsea / Arsenal / Man u (delete applicable) telling the world how they had secured their Wembley ticket and having the bare faced cheek to sign off, OTBC!! If you have been to games you will have a customer number which should have been taken into account. We should have ensured the people who have supported the Club over the years (not all of them great) were rewarded with a ticket, as per the Villa model you quoted (although I hope they get dicked in the final). I'm lucky as have been a season ticket holder for many years so have my ticket but really think the Club could have been smarter around allocation. Hope you get sorted.

    I should confess that I don't have reason for too much complaining... I am one of the very lucky ones who can pull some strings at work. But I would much rather sit in the Norwich fans' section even though the seats won't be as good just for the atmosphere rather than in the dry corporate section.
