    They are only releasing certain blocks so the only tickets I can get are in the top tier. Bad eyesight means anywhere but the lower tier is a complete waste of time for me! Even though they're not sold out they can't sell me the tickets I want

    Edit!! Typed with anger hence the spelling mistake.... BUT... The ticket agent said "I'll put you through to the stadium" and put me through to corporate hospitality who can't help me.

    This is a ****ing joke

    Cheers to the mod who corrected my angry typing :)

    Have no tickets after spending nearly an hour On the phone to be told as above then, when he put me through to the club, he put me to corporate hospitality who don't sell tickets. Really pissed off at this now

    I just got through on the 0871 number after about 20 minutes on hold and was told the only seats I could get were on level 5. Asked the guy why this is and he told me there were other seats available if I queued up at the stadium. Not much use to me as I am in the office. Had a bit of a moan on to him and he put me through to someone who offered to sell me the £56 seats instead only to find my wife had already managed to get through and book me the level 5 seats!
    At least I have got the tickets booked though and the money I saved I can spend on some binoculars

    I'd just like a ticket. I'd count your blessings you're going to Wembley.

    This.

    I'd be happy sitting in the bogs if it meant I got to be there.

    There are some people on twitter and the like who complaining so much it is unbelievable. If they are that unhappy with their seats I will happily take their tickets off them.

    I've had mine since they first came out and I have corporate tickets, I still got £56 tickets on Level 5, there's no ****ing logic to the way they are distributing these tickets. I reckon they have some ****ing bingo caller plucking them from an old sack.

    Could be worse. You could be sitting beside Level 42

    Hate heights as well, but I'll take a couple of Tramadol and bare it.

    Sorry, I know it's a whinge but I've just been through the same experience ( after getting through after 25 minutes on hold this morning about 8 o'clock to be told the system was down! ).
    Luckily I can take tomorrow off to go and queue and hopefully get something where I don't need to take an oxygen supply with me. Hopefully, the queue won't be as manic as Monday - it was into the SoL before the office even opened. Great effort :shocked:

    Don't get me wrong, I am chuffed to bits I am going especially as it is my first time to Wembley and even better that it is with my 10 year old son and SAFC. As I work in Newcastle I am telling as many Geordies as possible that I have my tickets. Funnily they don't seem that interested

    Those of us without tickets would happily sit on the roof to see the match.

    Enjoy the day at Wembley.

    I'm going through this afternoon. My issue is not at all with the option of Ticket. I'm delighted to be going. Just that I spent a tenner On a phone call to he put through to someone who couldn't sell me any tickets!! That's what really pisses me off!

    That is out of order like. You should be owed a call back as you've already waited the queue once.

    Went over yesterday and got 7 of the £72 tickets just to the left of the goal, had to wait 7 hours but it was worth it.
    Seats are just the job, but there doesn't seem to be any logic to the way they're selling them.
    I can't wait to get to Wembley and ask the city supporters if they have to go through this nonsense every time they have a big game, surely in this day and age there's a better way to do it.
    Why not open all of the turnstiles and every season ticket holder could go to which ever turnstile they use on match day and reserve his Wembley ticket, then they could send it through the post, they waste enough money on postage as it is with that stupid out of date magazine they send, so a bit more wouldn't make much difference, especially as it's only once in a lifetime.

    That's what has me slightly miffed, though tempered with the knowledge I'm going.

    Managed to get through on the 01915515004 number direct to the ticket office and got 2 x £56 tickets in level 5. Might be worth giving that a try again.

    Good Luck.

    Hopefully all others will get a decent chance at general availability on Monday. Heard a rumour that they will go to lapsed SC holders first.

    If anyone would like to check the view from your seat you can go to the Wembley website and get a "virtual " view by putting in your seat number.
