    So I have tickets! I let them choose for me in the end.
    I believe the areas I wanted were all sold?
    Even though the site kept saying loading.
    This was for over 10 minutes at one stage.
    I wish all of you trying tomorrow the very best of luck.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    How long before tickets start appearing on secondary ticket sites, at ridiculous prices, having been bought by professional ticket purchasers (aka touts, aka scum), so that Saints fans are reduced to paying over the odds, having been frustrated by a rubbish ticketing system

    Got through in the end, Block 551 in the sky but near the half way line.

    Just happy to be there.

    Do we know if what is currently on display is whats left, or whether they are releasing blocks in parts? Can see some of us ending up in space only to see some decent blocks released in future.

    Apparently they're releasing blocks as they sell.

    Apologies for using this thread but until we have the matchday post up who do we reckon will be appointed ref for this one? Last year it was Michael Oliver so presumably top level prem ref (if such a thing were to exist)?

    After the stress of the booking this morning, I opened my bet365 account to see that from betting against us recently my £5 initial account was £96 in credit. So I have done what all good fans do and lump it on Leeds to win at evens.

    Go up I have lost £5, stay down we have no VAR and I have recouped £100 on my day :)

    Yeah even though in VAR world we would have had 100% a pen for Brookes in the second half the other day, I wish there wasn’t any. Though to be fair we wouldn’t have got the pen we actually did :)

    Re: Parking.
    When I came down to Wembley for the cheated out of it final v Manure, I booked a place at a Brent Council car park about 20 minutes walk away. It’s pot luck, as the space isn’t reserved. It was £5 for the day. Car park closed at 9 or 10 pm, as it was a Wembley match day. Worked for me and I’m country mouse. Previously I had got the tube in from Stanmore, but that was about £20 return.

    edit. 289 Preston Rd. For those who travel from oop North.

    Assuming this is illegal, could you buy on a Visa Card and when you got them report the sellers as selling illegal tickets, get your money back on the VISA guarantee and keep the tickets? :bandit:
