    That was not what I was seeing at 1416

    Wouldn't be surprised if there are slight glitches showing different things

    Nabbed 4!!

    Must've had some luck. Joined Q at 13:51 and was 1800 odd. Took 12 minutes. Not even sure where I am. All hell was breaking loose around me at work Whilst trying to look busy!
    Will look later!

    Been to so many away games the last 2 years but we all take turns to book and never bother assigning tickets so none of us had the 150 points.

    anyway, had 2 browsers open, first one flashed up 32 minutes wait time
    2nd one…3 minutes.

    lovely stuff, in and out in less than 90 seconds.

    see you Sunday. UTFA

    Blocks 136 and 135 lower behind the goal have opened up again with quite a few tickets on them for anyone not wanting to be in the gods as they say.
    Yeah there is a big chunk of seats showing as available in 135...


    That's super frustrating as thats exactly where we would have loved to sit, wonder why they were all held up before now?
    Happened for us in 2019, upper-tier blocks looking full suddenly had new chunks of seats appearing; and the later middle-tier block releases. Plenty of reasons why they might be held, be that Wembley or Charlton - e.g. club tickets being released; to give the illusion of a faster sale than is the reality. No seats available means 'sold or not yet released', it doesn't necessarily mean 'sold'. I know that's frustrating to hear and I'm sure there'll be more cracking seats come up over the next fews which until now weren't available.

    We're not getting any special treatment, it's just how sales like this are usually handled.
    My point was we've ended up in different seats because of it and further away from friends that have bought tickets closer to that section, and had the priority to get them 3 days ago, and now they're suddenly selling them behind the goal again, surely that's the first place you actually want to "sell out" properly before you sell a bunch of tickets in the upper tier, especially to season ticket holders
    It might have been to give the illusion of scarcity and promote faster sales, which appears to have worked. Could be to get momentum going for sales in other blocks. I'm only guessing why its done, and I fully agree it's unhelpful!

    Well, that was more of a pain that I would have liked but I've got mine. Seats in most blocks still but a lot of them are singles so quite hard to get 3 or 4 together. I tried to get the exact seats I had last time but someone reserved them just before I did, so if we don't win I want you all the know it's the fault of the person in those specific seats. It was a bit farcical at times, in the time it took me to click on 3 available seats next to each other someone else would add one of the seats I'd clicked to their basket and I'd have to start over. It was a bit like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it

    If you want >1 ticket go straight for Block 549 / 550  -  the other areas only have scattered tickets.  
    Really? nothing in the 530's?

    nope :(    maybe just 2 or 3 singles

    EDIT I read block 530.    Not sure about the others.

    My brother was excited to purchase tickets in row 1 of block 136, but in the excitement he's just noticed they were in the lowest price category £31.50

    Does anyone know why they are so cheap??

    Obstructed view maybe?  Although that wasn't stated

    I had that problem. I don't have a solution for you as I had to switch laptops to resolve it

    Purely because they're so close, can be tricky to see up the other end as the players can obstruct the view. Atmosphere will be cracking there though and there's a big screen if needed

    not really how do you find about 30 tickets all of a sudden in one block, they have been held back for what reason, I don't know, but if there are no refunds or exchanges being made where do these come from !!!!!

    There are no obstructed views at Wembley, but Level 1 Row 1 is a worm's eye view of the pitch - very low down.

    You're welcome to have your own guess, which is all I'm doing. The practice happens for West End shows, its not uncommon.
