Agreed the club need to sort this out for next time we get to Wembley and realise that it is the location of the seat and not price that matter to some people - God knows what will happen IF we get to old trafford and the quick turn around needed on ticket allocation

You do realise you don't HAVE to pre-order via the club don't you? I got on a bus outside the ground after the semi, got the RFL website up on my phone and knew exactly where I would be inside Wembley before I even reached the Trafford Centre.

Without wanting to sound flippant, I've got better seats than you for the same price too, because I'm in the upper as well (by choice) and I'm 14 rows further forward than you which does make a difference because it's high up.

More importantly from your point of view though, I could easily have bought lower tier tickets in our end if I had wanted to for either £31 or £41 a go because the option was there.

As I say, you pays yer money you takes yer choice, but rather than saying what the club need to do "next time" (and here's hoping there is one soon but let's not take that for granted), maybe you should consider doing things differently yourself "next time".

There are alternative options.

When the game kicks off you won't care.

It did say on the website and the form that it was first come first served on the "what if" system. I put mine in on the day it was available the same as last time for £31 and have got block 111 again. The problem is if you are going for the cheaper tickets and with there being less £26 tickets in the lower tier than upper tier, then it all comes down to when did you put in your forms? If you put them in in last week of the scheme being available then it waqs most likely you would have been allocated upper tier. Really for an extra £15 you could have guarenteed lower tier as the £31 "what if" tickets were all lower tier im led to believe.

Can you pay on the gate?

Re: Wembley Tickets Swap : Thu Jul 26, 2012 3:11 pm  

The last two times we've been we have been in the upper tier and middle tier. Both times i have been envious of the atmosphere in the lower tier so was keen to get in there this time, RFL couldnt get me in there so we ended up getting 3 tickets from getmein.com for quite a reasonable price. Were in block 111 row 5 which I think is behind the sticks, im just hoping the view is ok from there now!

Re: Wembley Tickets Swap : Thu Jul 26, 2012 3:16 pm  

Row 5 of the lower tier is very low. Not a great view of the whole pitch, especially if you're sitting down.

Getmein is a Ticketmaster run glorified touting site, so if you've paid above face value for this it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
