please log in to view this image We cant pick the green section seating as they are for neutrals who took up an offer in Feb/March which was £10 per ticket. Around 7000 tickets were sold to neutrals and around 400 of them were to Rovers fans. Only 18 Grimsby fans took up this offer. 850 Barnet fans took up the offer. 650 were Aldershot fans and 450 were Southport fans. So the green section is reserved for those neutrals who took up that offer. We will have half of the North and all of the West stand - so we are in the opposite end to when we were at Wembley vs Shrewsbury play off final. The ticket prices and how to obtain a ticket will be in following posts..
There has been a change to the seating plan. Yesterday the conference said we would have half the North and all of the East stand. Today though it is confirmed that was an error. We will actually have half the North and all of the West stand. I have amended the 1st post to show this

We have also been allocated Block 133 as the "Gasheads" singing section and families have the option to buy tickets for the family block 136.
Reading these comments may suggest that there will be more demand for Wembley seats than are available for Rovers supporters. If I remember correctly Rovers and Shrewsbury were allocated 36,000 for their play off final and as Shrewsbury took up only 29,000 of their allocation a further 7,000 were made available to Rovers supporters. Looking at today's gates of around 11,000 for the Gas and 6,000 for Grimsby, is it possible that that number of latent supporters will be raised for another great occasion?
Reading how they issue tickets, looks like they will open a block of the stadium at a time so if you are the 1st to phone through, I wonder what they will have available. when blocks are sold then they open other blocks. I may call 1st thing and see if the blocks I have in mind are available. If not then I need to decide to either to take what they have or wait to see if other blocks get opened.
As you allude CJS, as soon as ticket agencies get involved, you lose the chance to pick where you want to sit !! + £3/ticket agency fee !!! Dick Turpin would be happy with that !!! The club has experience of these large ticket sales so why can't they do it again ?? Oh that's right, someone gets a back hander for giving it to any agency !!!
I think the £3 booking fee for EACH ticket is disgusting! 2 adults and 2 under 16s will cost... adult 1: £41 ticket + £3 booking fee = £44 adult 2: £41 ticket + £3 booking fee = £44 u16 1: £18 ticket + £1.50 booking fee = £19.50 u16 2: £18 ticket + £1.50 booking fee = £19.50 TOTAL = £127.00 which is disgusting! Oh and then had postage too! And then you have to get to Wembley. Supporters club are putting on 33 coaches, £25 for members and £30 non members. Say this 2 adults and 2 under 16s are non members, thats £30 x 4 = £120. Now add that to the match tickets and fees = £250.00 approx if you add postage too for the match tickets! That for conference football is disgusting. And you have only a few days to find that money to be able to get coach tickets before they sell out etc. Then dont forget to buy food and drink during the day!
