Christ, what a faff.
Unreal that Wembley can't simply give us a "print at home" option and email the tickets to us, like BHA and most other clubs do these days (which is what I actually expected to be able to do when I ordered mine). Buying online and then relying on the post is ridiculous and...
I'm not.
I've been buying their stuff for YEARS, but I never bothered getting a loyalty card there. Now everyone else is getting all these massive deals and discounts, and I've been totally ignored. So they can poke it.
:rolleyes:
Bloody hell, you're like my missus. Bangs on and on about me being unfair because I won't drive her to IKEA. Then I finally relent, and she's all "Too late, forget it. I don't want to go now".
I agree to a point, but when you talk of this 2,000 unsold tickets, you're looking at it in hindsight - nobody knew 8-10 days ago that we'd have that availability by this stage, and bear in mind we only have that now because extra tickets were eventually released due to slow sales in the City...
Whatever is left now should just go on general sale IMO - although at the start of the process, there was no guarantee that there would be anything left by this stage after the STH's and members have taken their allocations anyway.
As for your second point - its only equivalent to a booking fee...
I don't see any reason why, as of today, there can't be a free-for-all for whatever's left over now that the STH's, Bronzers and STH hangers-on have had their fill.
But if you don't bother becoming a member, when its been stated up front all the way along that it gets you in the queue, then...
Nailed it.
Its perfectly clear on the website - membership gives you PRIORITY when tickets come up for sale. Yes, you can still usually get tickets without it for the humdrum stuff during the course of the season. But when massive occasions like this come around, a membership will guarantee...
Yep, I'll be logging on again on Wednesday to get my +2's for the daytrippers, as are many of my other STH mates.
Can't see there being many if any left for general sale come Friday.
