So Preston have sold 16.5k and they're not even at General Sale yet? They have an average home attendance of 10k, so assuming they have about 7k season ticket holders, that would mean every season ticket holder has bought 2 or more. That's not completely unreasonable. Let's just hope they don't have a day where they sell 10,000 in a day when it goes on General sale.

As I posted previously...

Nope, but anybody who went to the semis can purchase now so it's not like loads of die hard fans are being kept at bay. Expect them to sell more than us though.

As for 4Ds comments about those not going, I totally agree, but feel like saying that kind of thing on the TEF is basically the very definition of preaching to the converted.

From PNE forum today:

 Originally Posted by Dreyfuss 
Here is an update on the current ticket availability (as of 9.30am May 16th) for the various seat categories...

£30 tickets
Plenty of seats available in block 135. Very limited seats available in block 134, 137.
All the £30 category seats in blocks 130, 131, 132, 133, 136 are sold out.

£40 tickets
Think there is one single seat left in block 137. The club have opened up sales for third tier (blocks 552 & 551) - plenty available.
All the £40 category seats in blocks 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136 are completely sold out.

£52 tickets
Plenty of seats left in blocks 128,139.
All the £52 seats in blocks 127, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138 are sold out.

£62 tickets
Loads of seats available in many of the blocks (126, 127, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247)
All the £62 seats in blocks 125, 231, 238, 239, 240, 241 are sold out.

£80 tickets
Plenty of seats available in blocks 124, 229, 230, 231.
All the £80 tickets in blocks 125, 227, 228 are sold out.

Please note: Some more third tier seats were released yesterday afternoon (blocks 552, 551). Depending on sales it is expected that the following third tier blocks will be opened up over the weekend (blocks 550, 549, 527, 528, 529, 530). That will leave 17 blocks of seats in the third tier (which would probably only be released if we sell out our initial 30k allocation)
Thanks - I reckon thats about 1/3 of our allocation sold so far - 12,000? Numbers well down on previous trips it seems - unless we get a slurge of 'hangers on' booking next week.

So has somebody on their Forum gone to the trouble of working out what seats have been sold and where are still available?  If Ticketmaster have the info, it would be useful to provide ours.

Also, why have they had £30 seats released when we haven't? 

I think we'll struggle to hit 25,000 this time by a fairly big margin.

I think going by how it is we will get between 25k and 27k I know a fair few people who haven't decided yet but who almost certainly will be going.

I am sure we did have £30 tickets available, all sold (Preston have those in the lower blocks, like we had).  They've probably just checked each section and tried to buy 2,3,4 etc.  That's an indication of how sold out the block is.
We have four blocks available up top right now, three in reality as the first one is all but sold.  Preston appear to be having blocks released exactly as ours have been, they sell the side the camera's view first up top, then they seem to sell the other side rather than behind the goal.

I'm also sure that the cheap seats at the back of the top tier didn't go on sale the last couple of times either.  I'd imagine this must be a Wembley/FA related thing.  It would look odd everyone sat at the back and the front being empty.  Not sure if the club can do anything to get those seats released or not?  Presume they were not in the original allocation (80k are available usually, with 10k reserved for Club Wembley members, FL etc. so we are allocated 10k less than our end can hold).

It would be marvellous to have a full 30000 cheering the boys on and if the ticket prices were slightly more appealing then we would have, but some people are still out of work or minimum wage and unfortunately as much as a visit to Wembley to see your side is exciting you have to prioritise. Unfortunately the FA don't care about the fans it's corporate all the way then the odd stragglers and general sale at the groung on the day robbing swines

Really don't buy any of this 'the FA are screwing us' rubbish, nor calling their bluff by holding off to save a few quid. Obviously they're going to withhold the top tier behind the goal until they're needed. Makes perfect sense and would be the case for every event, irrelevant of sport etc.

Just pointless moaning.

The three I went with last time (and the time before) aren't going this time, but I'm taking another four people who have never been before. Swings and roundabouts.

Has anyone actually received their tickets yet? I bought mine on the first day and still nothing. Still, I did only pay £48 in booking fees, so I can't really expect much.
No & I think it's absolute disgrace, my Mrs ordered the kids a t-shirt the same day 99p P&P and they've arrived !!!  Bad Mood Bad Mood

If anyone fancies a Cat 1 ticket for £40 with transport included, let me know. You'll have to sit with me (awaits jokes).

I was wondering with the FA Cup being devalued and every Tom, Dick and Harry being allowed to play Wembley, how many different teams have played at new Wembley?

I'd guess 50. JPT Finals, FA Cup semi and finals, league cup plus play offs. It must be close to 50 different teams.
