Play Off Final Tickets

[LUX]

I'm bringing Jean Claude Juncker with me.

It'll be his first game since Barnsley away

[Haag Royal]

Someone will mate. People who dont want top tier.

On that note though, I wonder how many dutch fans will pop over for the game.

Hope so.

Interesting question - not many I think as the price will put them off. Compared to Dutch football these prices are stratospheric.

Just got confirmation email from See Tickets that my tickets are being dispatched.

[Kitsondinho]

506 is the party block.....so says my old man who had booked us tickets there......

what the hell is a party block? there`s 3 of us booked in there

Whips and ball-gags. Take lube.

Mine were posted through my letter box this morning.

[Elm Park Kid]

I can only see blocks 520 and 521 on sale at the moment.

I assume that they are adding a couple of blocks at a time and waiting for them to fill up before opening more. Or have people booked in 523-529?

[Scutterbucketz]

All in all, I'm quite happy that with buying them through seetickets. Doing it that way meant I could get 5 seats together which hasn't happened in a Final for me since 1995.

Looks like I'm in the best block

The Madejski Ticket Office manager was interviewed on BBC Berks yesterday. One of the questions was why the SEE ticket site shows concessions as being for 65 years old and up, while the Wembley page says that it is for 60+. His answer was that Reading have stuck to normal ticket pricing policy for the club. Ok, I get that (would have preferred the 60+ option as I'd be a concession but ...) but what happened to the other end of pricing? If we are going by Reading pricing why don't U24s get a concession price?

Ah well, job done anyway. 6 tickets bought. Don't care where they are as long they are inside Wembley.

[TFF]

Spying over a colleague's shoulder as she books it looks like they're allocating 'best available' now rather than offering any choice of blocks.

She's in 521 with Cat 4 tickets

That does seem like a bit of a BS answer.

It raises a point though of why should anyone below the official retirement age get concession prices for anything?

That's just the only Cat4 block onsale at the mo. Once they've sold that block out they'll be allowed to put another 1 or 2 on sale

[Brum Royal]

Still no indication of number of sales yet that anyone's seen (other than the first hour yesterday)?

[Brum Royal]

Also, my thinking with this block by block approach is that by doing it this way, if one team doesn't sell as many they can reallocate the unsold blocks to the other team for them to sell if the demand is there, rather than have several half empty blocks at both ends.

Not sure, would be interested to know this. People were quoting figures yesterday but never actually revealed a source - apart from the 11,000 one.

That's a fair point but the fact is that many clubs use 60 as the concession age and when RFC sell away tickets for those clubs they apply that as well. The decision is therefore out of line with their normal practice and as WSM says why not across the board.

Anyway although I qualify for the over 65 rate I got so confused trying to prove I am not a robot and going round in a loop I paid full price by mistake Still its only money and at least I managed to get tickets in the end.

Ticket Status 09:50(Update Edit)

Cat 1: Sold Out

Cat 2: Sold Out

Cat 3: Sold Out

Cat 4: Very close to sold out.

Cat 5: 515, 516

If this is accurate, using a rough estimate, we've sold about 32,500 tickets up to this point.

Lower Tier:
21 Blocks out of 44 = 47.7%
Total Capacity = 34,303
34,303 * 47.7% = 16,363

Middle Tier:
18 Blocks out of 52 = 34.6%
Total Capacity = 16,532
16,532 * 34.6% = 5,720

Upper Tier:
14 Blocks out of 52 = 26.9%
Total Capacity = 39,165
39,165 * 26.9% = 10,535

it was accurate concerning the tickets that were available at the time.

I should have pointed out that blocks 517 - 529 had not gone on sale at that point.

Have the northerners started selling yet?
