Wembley tickets?

Not open for further replies.
It's nothing to do with people being OOTers or anything else, just a case of rewarding loyalty.

Someone who attends more matches in a season than someone else deserves a ticket ahead of them. Simple.

Doesn't matter where they're from, just how much they deserve it.

Yeah, it's difficult for people who don't live in Liverpool to get the game, but to not attend a single match when the away games can't be that far away then say you have as much right to the biggest match of the season as someone who has attended games is bollocks.
 
I never went to a match and didn't get it and I've never paid over the odds. If you travel and you've got half a brain, you'll get in.

I didn't book it!! I'm trying to find somewhere cheap for the six of us which is alot closer. We've booked 2 double rooms but going to sneak 1 extra in each room. I know typical scousers.

El Pist- why don't you look at places a bit further out like Uxbridge or Ruslip? It
Won't take you long to get to Wembley on the tube.

All of those areas will cotton on and shove prices up. They always do! It's like easy jet holding flight prices until after the cl draw is made!

Maybe, but if people book now they might themselves a decent deal
[/quote]

Cheers Ladyred will have a look now and hope they haven't cottened on. All by wembley the prices are scandalous, even the fusilers inn is charging 4 star prices!
 
The travelodge in uxbridge for the 6 of us 130 pound for 2 nights is not bad at all. Wht would taxi prices be like to central London for a saturday night out?
 
[quote author=LadyRed link=topic=48444.msg1471488#msg1471488 date=1327620564]
What's a reasonable price for a night? I'll have a little look for you tomorrow too
[/quote]

Where probably looking 135 total i know its stretching it but thats about it.
 
Yeah thought you'd find something much cheaper there, the tube won't cost you more than £5 each to get to Wembley.

I have no concept of cab fares from there, ring mini-cab firms instead of black cabs. Just google cab firms in Uxbridge and ask them how much they'd charge

Again you could get the tube into central and get a cab back. There are always tourers you can bargain with too

There are at least 50 hotels on laterooms for less than £50 for the room (double or twin) for a night. No idea about the location/transport etc but there is the Ramada London Ealing for £44 and it's just 3 miles away from Wembley and next to the tube.
 
Get the feeling even getting to london is going to be far more expensive than i imagined.

If i can ebay the tickets or by some magic theres general sale i'll bunk the train.
 
#hey guys, if any of you need accommodation (hotels) let me know - ill be able to sort out a group deal in central - much better for going out in.

Not touting or trying to make a quick buck, just a genuine offer for help (though a ticket wont hurt!) Oh an im just down the road from Wembley so if any of you are driving in - parking etc can be sorted out
 
Should be a goodun, best of luck everyone on the ticket front. I totally agree about some deserving tickets more than others btw. Spion (for example), makes a great effort to get up for games when he can and offers lifts and tickets to others. Surely he would deserve a ticket for example ahead of someone cashing in for a one off game. Avvy is another example, he broke his neck to get up to Anfield and even caught an away game I think.

Or how about me, Aidan, the count or Ross. Who travel over and make a big effort to go to games and help others. Surely we'd deserve a ticket over some cunt like Paddy for example. Some do deserves tickets above others. I've been on both ends of it, my uncle gave me a ticket to the All Ireland Final two years ago and I hadn't been to a game in few years. Some one else did deserve that ticket more than me, I can admit that.

I see where Sean is coming from too, there has been countless times when he couldn't give away a ticket on here. We are a poor site for attending game and to sum up I think those who make a better effort to attend deserve a ticket more. It's not arrogance or anti - OTT (don't know why that was brought into this at all) just common sense. I don't begrudge anyone wanting to go, everyone is entitled to attend a match but I can why those who have made an effort in the past would be pissed off to see others jump on the bandwagon and get a ticket ahead of them.

Anyways. It's bed time and i'm probably rambling.
 
There is no debate to be had, at all.

I can personally vouch for the trouble Sean's gone through to help people get to Anfield.

It's the attitude taken, I think that's a bit sad. Yes, it hasnt been easy to get to games, and it was pretty costly. BUt not in a million years would I think I earned that right to a ticket.

Loads on here have been going for decades. That's DECADES.

Do I think they've earned that right more than someone like me?
That's damn straight.

Luckily for me, these are usually the same kinds of fans who are deeply appreciative of the trouble taken by fans from far away to get to games. These are the same fans who help you get tickets, buy you food and drinks, even put you up at their homes.

I'm also very conscious of the fact that the seat i'm sitting in could have gone to someone who's earned it more than I have.

NOthing to do with OOT. Just respect for people.

If anything, I'm touched so many people are willing to help.
 
i find it pretty amazing anyone could accuse Sunny of arrogance on this issue.

he helps us lot out with tickets time and again - and pretty much runs the site for us! - for no personal gain at all. when i first asked him to help me with tickets i couldn't thank him enough, because tbh i felt fucking cheeky asking some bloke i'd never met to take time to do me a favour and take a risk of being out of pocket.

no doubt most of us feel the same, and are grateful and polite, but no doubt also a few gracelss fuckwits take him, and others like him, pretty much for granted.

and of course some deserve a ticket more than others. again, no debate to be had.
 
Great posts on the subject of "deserving tickets" by ILD, Avvy and Peter.

Can't really say any more other than once again, Sunny deserves nothing but thanks and praise from everybody who lurks or posts on this site and even more so from the many who have benefited from his considerable efforts to get posters tickets for games.
