Would think at least all STHs and members who have been to anything more than a few games are guaranteed tickets - there might be a bit of drama for any STH who wants to take (and sit with) guests who are not members and waits for the non-member window to open....................

No way I'd want to be in the upper tier personally - the players look like ants on a pound note :laugh:

I've never been up top at Wembley.

Can someone who has compare it to Newcastle distance-wise from the playing surface?

For the Euro Semi-Final (Denmark) we had tickets in the very back row of the top tier.

Yes, you're high up, but it was still a great view.

The Problem is that not many get purchase history now.

I've taken my Grandchildren to both the Home FA Cup games, but they have been STH guests, so don't get acknowledged as having gone.

Hoping they stick with the STH guests as the next priority after Albion+

I'm half thinking about going to the pub to watch it. Wembley just makes me feel completely cold. Maybe it's age. I'll probably get talked into going though...

From memory after the 2019 Man City final (light), tickets were still available to anyone after all the priortys were bought. I seem to remember Man City had massive areas unsold.

Anyone know if you can still buy for a guest after you’ve purchased for yourself as a STH earlier on in the window?
You can for other (home) games so imagine it's going to be possible. Will be quite a few securing their own tickets first and then doing this later I suspect.

STH in the last bucket. My Dad, in the 1st bucket bless him, is going to wait for me so we can sit together.

Just hope his 65 year old knees can handle the climb to the nosebleeds.

I'm in two minds too.

It will be at least £200 for me for the day all in, coming from the North. Which, if we win (which is very possible) will mean at least another £200 for the final, which I obviously would go. Plus was at Wembley a few years ago so no big deal in that regard.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you, I'm a STH and family members have come to games in earlier rounds as guests & so have seen no benefit from a purchase history/points perspective.

In which case I'm going to try and hold out for a guest window so we can all sit together, but the poll results on here (albeit admittedly a small sample size) and the club's short article saying 'Subject to availability guest windows will open after STH/1901 and Albion+ members' doesn't fill me with confidence!

I’ve made a rod for my own back by being an ever present for all our games at Wembley. Not that I considered not going for a second.

We’ll be purchasing straight away (priority window 1) and see our MA+ relatives pre-match. Already got the coach booked, too.
