The day trippers will dwindle for second and subsequent visits

As Swindon Town know only too well.

Not sure if it's Wembley or Ticketmaster who control how blocks of tickets are made available for PO finals.
But the upper tier at the Barnsley end looked to be empty apart from the section right next to the Millwall bit.

Selling the upper tier blocks behind the goal first may have prevented the problem or at least meant that the Millwall lot had a bit further to go!

Interesting that the League 2 final attendance was better than the League 1 turnout.
Noticed big gaps in the Millwall end as well. Looks as if the Wembley experience is popular first or maybe second time around then starts to wear a bit thin.

Same for the Championship final where Wednesday sold out but Hull, on their fourth? recent visit, didn't.

Dont forget thats the 2nd time in 2 months Barnsley have been to Wembley. I doubt all of their fans could afford 2 trips in such a short space of time.

The trouble is Millwall to Wembley is relatively a piece of piss journey. That means all the plastics can happily go along to the big games. Just in their case a plastic isn't someone with a half and half scarf, it's someone who wants to get involved.

Play off final ticket prices are a scandal. It is little wonder that the Wembley experience is taking its toll. The PO final is, in effect, another league game, not the cup final it is made out to be. Prices should reflect the finalists' match day prices, not the exorbitant greed of Wembley/FA. Presumably the participating clubs acquiesce.
