    Wanted 9 tickets in the singing section. Only singles available so I ended accidentally getting 4 in the family block.
    I think they will hate us in there but I'll try to get them singing!

    Can I suggest that to save time, that if we win on the 7 April, we all just remain seated where we are so they can take our order for the final. They can get the blokes from our local Indian to walk around the stadium with their card machine collecting the money. Mind you I don't trust them to organise a delivery of 33,000 after eight mints in time now. So probably a bad idea.

    Good plan but isn't it normal for the FA Cup final that both clubs get substantially (fewer/less/aardvark)* tickets than the semi.

    Maybe that’s why the prices are so high.

    Unfair.

    The few times I call, all v efficient.

    Today seems to have been a bit of an Andrew Parsons Project.

    Hopefully they'll do as they've done with previously Wembley games and release some prime new seats for today's phase of sales.

    RD, that's 12 posts in a row. Thankfully you drew the line at replying to your earliest posts in that run :).
    Mods, is that a record ?

    Honestly after reading this palava I'll just watch the game in the comfort of my home theatre with Dolby 7.1 and 75" 4K dynamic HDR like a common peasant.

    On my phone, I did read that as Dolly 7.1.

    Happily I reread it before calling the police.

    Odd tweet from the club yesterday about sharing fans’ frustrations. A bit passive. They didn’t have to choose Ticketmaster to do the ticket sales but I hope they can do something about getting the booking fee refunded.

    I hope the system works better today for those buying tickets.

    The AI on which generates the RD output requires increasing numbers of posts for it to ‘learn’.

    Same principle as the Moog 2000.

    I presume the club are mid-contract with Ticketmaster, as they’ve been doing all the club’s ticketing for some time now. I’ve been talking to the ticket office in the last few weeks about an issue with my dad’s fan card. For some reason it refuses to load tickets to it and the system churns out paper tickets by post instead. The ticket office has spoken with Ticketmaster about that too apparently.

    I agree the club should be looking elsewhere though as soon as the option to change is available.

    No wonder there were problems with the tickets.

    Here's a photo taken from inside the Ticketmaster call center at 1oam yesterday.

    Yep, I think it’s a few throusand less than the semi-Final. Always good to see a half empty stadium early in the second half of the showpiece Cup Final event because all that sweet, sweet corporate money is still being spent at the bar. It’s what football is all about. Sandwiches and some glasses of Pimm’s.

    I seem to remember that tickets for previous games at the new Wembley were dealt with by Ticketmaster even when Watford weren’t involved with them.

    Leads me to think this is an FA thing.

    There must be an SLA within the contract if WFC are captive to TM. If so, you would think that TM must be close to a breach of contract after recent performances.

    No but 'Eye In The Sky' is!
    'Sirius' is used as a walk on for the Davis Cup Final.
    'Old And Wise' is what most of us will be after attempting to tussle with Tickethalfwits!

    He's just desperate to get a mention in The Birmingham Mail.. lifetime ambition in fact.

    PS So what colour are we wearing? I don't mean you guys but at Wembley?

    Managed to get in after 5 minutes, just kept refreshing.

    Not much left in the lower tier, fair bit in the upper tier.

    Seems blocks 543-552 have either sold out, or more likely not been put up for sale yet as I'd expect there to be at least a couple spare seats dotted around.
