Community Shield Tickets

I'm sure Boc's lucky shorts will be in the other seat.

His lucky shorts are not lucky anymore

I'm beginning to thino that Don is just trolling. There are clearly people happy to pay face value, what's the issue?

When is your daughter getting married? Is it before Sunday?

I want to make it clear that is not what happened in my case. The chap I wanted it for has sustained a neck injury in a boating incident and finished up in A&E at St Neots.

Clearly being "just too lazy/tight to make our first trip to Wembley in nearly 2 decades".

I am not trolling - whatever that is.
I have a ticket it cost me £35 and I will pass it on for £35.
I just want to see it used and the seat filled.
However clearly everyone here already has a ticket, has suffered a very convenient mishap or just can't be bothered.
I can't be bothered to register for Foxestalk or Facebook so I can offer it there.

... and some people who have lost their jobs cannot afford it.

And some people have to prioritise their spending.

In order for me to be "bothered" as you put it, should I not pay the rent, go without food, tell my partner that she can't go and visit her daughter, not put fuel in my car and miss work, or just magic up £100 from somewhere?? What do you suggest?

Sorry Don, I managed to buy tickets for myself before you'd replied! Hope you find a taker for it though.

Hopefully we'll sell out our allocation... Wembley has enough empty seats as it is from the corporate areas!

All those things

Is it me, or are we making a really messy job of selling 27,00 tickets for this?

It could have been all done and dusted weeks ago.

 

[The Don]

I usually have real problems getting an away ticket. Unbelievably I now 2 for the same game so I and want to give someone else an opportunity to go to our national stadium to see are beloved team. An unusual and historic occasion. But no-one even cares.

I don't think the club is making a mess of selling them. I'm just surprised that demand is so low.

Have many people even had a chance to buy a ticket though? They seem to have been on sale to members of various types for weeks. Nobody knows how many we've sold/how many are left.

We could easily sell 40,000 tickets for a Wembley game if we made them available to any City fan. I think we've just cocked it up.

How many are available? I saw a post saying extra tickets went on, possibly returns from businesses or such? I'm not overly surprised that it may not be a full house. It's a preseason friendly and an expensive one. I can't be alone in not having watched a charity/community shield game as a neutral in over a decade.

They went on general sale on Monday. And shortly after that they were no longer available on the Seetickets website. So I assumed at the time they'd old out. So where is the story that they're not sold out coming from?

Some corporate seats, £149 or £299 + VAT

That is unnecessary and unwarranted abuse
