No joy. Got through to the page with the blue dots and was very excited, but every time I added a seat it popped up and said it wasn't available. After the 500th attempt or so, I gave up. I'm guessing they were actually sold before I arrived. Just teasing, I suppose!

I know it’s past the event but ever in that situation again. don’t pick seats, use the allocated filter

Luton still have tickets for sale - unbelievable but suppose they have a smaller fan base.

Good advice mate. In truth I'd have happily taken anything but the filter didn't populate, just the map. Like I say, I suspect the map simply wasn't up-to-date and was showing tickets that had already sold.

Hi all, Got tickets for me and my 10y/o son but one in block 123 right next to the goal and one up high in block 531, is there anyone in block 531 that would want to swap for block 123 ? I don’t want any money towards it just a swap so I’m at least in the same block as my son !! Any help would be so grateful

I’ve been gifted corporate tickets which is so generous of my boss and I’m very grateful. Only downside is club colours are prohibited!

Last time I was in there, play off final, i had a dark blue t-shirt with the old club badge on it, the one with the elephant and football. They never had a clue.

Not sure your son will be allowed in on his own; see here - NEWS: Play-Off Final ticket details confirmed

Wembley National Stadium Limited do not accept responsibility for unaccompanied minors (14 and under) – as such all supporters this age must be accompanied be an adult.

I agree, it isn’t. Scammers will try with a printed or PDF tickets, but PDF’s enables any opportunist to have a go if they wanted to.

Managed to get my 2 tickets today through a mate with a contact in the FA- absolutely buzzing for it. Block 247 which it says on the ticket is neutral and not to wear club colours- from the map though looks on our side- anyone else around that area?

Wondering whether to smuggle my Cov shirt in my pocket in the hopes I can wear it when we’re at the seats

Mine is in the "Coventry Supporters Only" area so there would seem to be a segregation

Generally they are strict on this so be careful. Not sure about standing up and shouting for your team tho!

Not sure what that's got to do with Ticketmaster. If you're dumb enough to buy a pdf ticket you're asking for trouble even if you ignore the fact there's laws against reselling football tickets

Got ya. I'll be getting the train a couple of stops after it starts so I'll hopefully get a table.

Last couple of Wembley games there's been a few Cov fans on the train up to be fair so it might be a good atmosphere. But less busy than Cov!

Because they do everything to maximum profit. Instead of hard copy ticket, they want people to print off. euros you have an app where the Barcode changes every 2 mins to stop scamming

Given our fans/club generally aren’t technologically advanced enough to handle anything that doesn’t involve shuffling to queue outside the ticket office like zombies, I’d love to see how we’d manage with an app and a constantly changing barcode.

I’m planning to get to the turnstile at least an hour before kickoff on Saturday…

They are reportedly asking for proof of age - but how many or all I don't know

I always have a problem because I don't look my age

They could contact club and see if it can be upgraded

For major league baseball, you can ONLY get your ticket through the app. No smartphone, no ticket (which might have been blessed relief for me recently - YAWWWWN)

As you say, how would that work and be inclusive for all our fanbase?

84% of people have a smartphone. There comes a point where you can’t keep entire infrastructure running just to support and ever dwindling number of customers.
