I filled a priority form in last week, mainly because I want the Wire flyer and we are just about to go on holiday.
I was told that they would be processed before Season Ticket holders were able to get them in person.
Been checking my bank all morning to see if they have debited my account and my available balance hasnt changed. Just got through to the shop, been told that they will get processed later...whats the point of filling a priority form if you aren't treated as a priority?...quite likely that I won't find out if I am on the train until we get back off our hols...2 days before Wembley...bugger!!

Maybe the tickets have been allocated and it's just the payments etc going through later. It was advertised as a first come first served for this so we should get the seats we asked for before others today.

I hope so anyway.

It's a weird one.

It states at the beginnning of the season that your season ticket give s you priority booking for challenge cup matches, playoff matches etc, but yet for the cc final, there is a priority booking scheme that gives you priority over the thing that should be giving you priority in the first place.

Wembley block plans were on display outside the ground this morning with some blocks coloured as Priority Booking so I shouldn't worry. [iSeems strange that the priority booking seems to have used the really dodgy seats at the back though!

[/i

I got great seats.

thing is, unless they were processing them, as they came in at the back end of last week and pencilling ppl into slots, provisionally, someone must have been in last night after the game doing it to slot ppl in, prior to this morning's rush.

I can't imagine many staff would want to be in last night.

This has cock-up written all over it. We were at the back near the scoreboard last year, while people who have been to one match in 30 years were behind the sticks asking which team were Warrington.

I filled a priority booking form about three weeks ago stating my priority being £31, hopefully behind the sticks, lower tier. However there are £31 tickets at the back and other places that I wouldn't choose to sit.

I'm off work today amd could have queued up early like so many others, but have to sit through the wait to see where I have been allocated.

Hope my fears are unfounded, and i get my tickets on Monday. lower tier.

im worried too but surely they cant cock it up

They can dun dun dunnnnn...

my main concern is the train travel. If they have sold the places to people who queued up this morning..I will fume!!!
Like I said, wont be getting back until the Thursday before the final, so will leave me with a travel dilemma...fingers crossed that they have it all under control

I wasn't confident when I handed the form in. I wasn't able to find out what sections the various seats were in. I felt the chaps in the shop didnt know what to do with the form.
It should be easy really. On the deadline that the forms were due in, count up how many £26, £31 etc tickets were needed and when the RFL send the tickets to the club they just put that number aside.
I have got a funny feeling that my form and vouchers will go missing which is a worry as it has all my card details written down on it.

I can understand The Analyst's concerns over travel, but those moaning about people only going to one match in 30 years and getting a better seat than them. Well, diddums.

Can only keep fingers crossed, I don't know what made me do mine but I did!! We shall see

i'd like to know early on whether i've got my preferred choice, just tried ringing before lunch and after getting 50pence worth of wembley related spiel, went through to the ticket office to be given a message saying no one in.

might try again later.

After queueing early and for ages last year only to end up in the gods I decided to sort my own tickets so I know where I shall be sitting, and a very happy bunny I am

I was told that tickets for those pre booking would be taken out of the allocation before going on sale this morning. So you should be guaranteed a ticket, despite not knowing exactly where you will be seated. Just enjoy being there, wherever you sit, and whatever the result.
Is it true that the train this year will take 5.5 hours compared to 4.5 hours last year? Never again!

Row six of the lower behind the sticks is not great seats.

The gradient of the stand isn't very steep so you only get a good spec from about row 30ish and upwards.

Good luck seeing the other end of the pitch.

Balls, then why would people buy them and some lower down, I'd rather be there then where I was last year. I sit at the bottom at every away game I attend, football and Rugby. I'm quite happy with my seats thank you mate, middle six rows up, 'beltin!

We were around rows 17, 18, 19 last year and the view was so good we've gone for the same again this year.

& where are you sitting then god? im on the same row, was there last year & the seats are great!

When I went to the An England Football friendly I was about row 10 and that was excellent, you are dead close to the action which I like.

I remember my first trip to Wembley for the 1995 League Cup Final, Liverpool V Bolton. I was on row one directly behind the goal, which was miles in front of me because of the old running track. I could literally barely see the pitch.

The new Wembley is nowhere near as bad as the old one in that respect, but the gradient of the tier is similar so you definitely need to be a good number of rows up to properly see the action at the other end.

Well four rows further up for England and I could see the pitch, ok?

I'm not having a go at anyone here by the way so no need for defensiveness Atkins! I'm just going off my experience of the old Wembley and what an Everton fan who went to the FA Cup semi and final there in the lower last year told me. He said it was the same as the old one and an awful view until you went further back. If I'm wrong fair enough!

If we win I don't think anyone will be complaining too much about their seats anyway. I certainly wasn't d as a wide eyed teenager seeing his his first live cup win in '95.

So your basing your decision on a different stadium and an opinion of one individual?

I don't think any seat in Wembley stadium is a bad view tbh.
