    I have just been offered 2 x club Wembley gold tickets. They are £469.00 each. They are genuine as the person selling them is a client of one of my best clients.

    I am mulling it over in my head at the moment, knowing my luck I will be sat with a load of Man City fans.

    I still have some other people trying to get me tickets too so potentially I might be able to get some for less??

    Do I, don't I???

    Oh some other interesting news is tickets for sale within the Club Wembley system have to get sold before the 22nd or they go back to the owners of the tickets who afaik can sell them on themselves, so tickets might become available after the 22nd.

    Nothing apparently if they are re-sold the buyer does not get an of the perks like parking. Now you have put that plan up it is very temping.

    For me the best seats in the house would be among the Sunderland supporters.

    Right do you think I can persuade the Mrs that these tickets would be better than a nice wedding ring???

    I'd say hold your nerve mate.

    My enquiries are starting to come back to me and I'm 95% sure of 2 City end tickets for about £165 each.

    Not my call but I'd say £300-ish extra, to possibly sit with other Man City is a bit much.

    Tickets will appear, I'm sure of it.

    why aye man :bandit:

    I think you have access to all areas with a gold pass, reading this https://clubwembley.wembleystadium.com/ClubWembley/HospitalityPackages

    Dont think you would have to spend another penny on the day, if you can afford the readies looks class, if you are opposite the royal box (the white bit) to the left then you would be next to the sunderland fans

    I think your probably right smug,

    Its tempting though. My thoughts are most of the club Wembley seat will be Sunderland as the demand for tickets is so high.

    GC, sorry to use you as an info service but ........ I've just had a call from a lad who has two tickets at £56 face value.

    Because of the circumstances, he's a big shot, I can't ask him loads of questions about which section they're for etc.

    So I'm asking you <laugh>

    Look at the situation through the eyes of Smug :bandit:

    You buy these for £470 each.

    Later on you get the chance of 2 Sunderland section for £100 a pop.

    You then punt the 2 Gold tickets. Even if you dip them to £370 you're still only paying £200 to be in the Sunderland end.

    If you have the funds I'd buy them and keep looking for others ....... the worst that can happen is that you're in the stadium to watch Sunderland in a cup final <ok>

    they could be either safc or ciy i suppose, wont be neutral, even at face value you would get rid though, if they are city you could maybe swap them with a tout with a few extra quid, if they are sunderland then happy days

    At 2.55pm on March 2nd you'd give £470 and one of your kidney's so chill out and buy them.

    Once you have them you're 'in the ground' and can be more relaxed about any others that surface.

    Just my opinion like <ok>

    Am seeing the lad who can get the tickets tomorrow so will see if I can negotiate a deal with him. The Mrs just said she wants shoes instead of a ticket so at this rate I might have a spare.

    I'll definitely buy them, the bloke's done me a favour and refusing to buy them could see me eating through a tube <laugh>

    He's a right nasty piece of work, a football agent in Monaco ...... you can probably guess who but I'd never say.

    If they turn up I'll have the Man City pair I paid £355 up for grabs. I'd just want what I paid.

    It's doing my head in all this.

    I hate to see you with this stress.

    Give the tickets to me. I will deal with the burden
