I was working in Chesterfield when they got to the cup semi final at Old Trafford about 20 years ago. Their average crowd at the time was around 3000 but they took around 10x that. We had department secretaries going with blue face paint despite never having attended a football match in their lives and the only footballer they could name was David Beckham.
My mate got booked in the replay for fouling Juniniho. Also scored winner against Forest though

I was planning on flying over from Chicago with my wife for the final. We have booked the plane and the hotel accommodations but even though I am
Part of a fan club there seems no way to get a ticket without mortgaging the house several
Times over.
Sniffer can you have a word with the big man?
I am happy to pay the going rate or just a little bit more but bloody hell prices and availability are 1 million times more difficult than when I was a junior red.

I wonder if we will get some of Huddersfield ticket allocation as they have only sold the block 100 and 200 so far and are only just starting the 500 block seats in a clockwise pattern
RE: We Are Going To Wembley - Marinakis Red - 21-05-2022
I think it is a definite that we will have some of the 500 blocks, maybe 526, 525 and 524 so more hope for those without a ticket yet. Let's get as many reds as we can inside Wembley.

Don't know if it's true because I don't believe everything that I read but I did read somewhere yesterday that Hudders had only so far sold 6000 tickets.
I think it's BS to be honest.
RE: We Are Going To Wembley - Red Dog - 21-05-2022
To make a day of it, I have booked the coach travel offered by the club. Never having used it before, can anyone tell me where the coaches normally depart from? The club have said I will get an email 72 hours before with all the info I need but I just wondered whether if anyone else on the forum can advise? Thanks.

I'm going by Forest coach. The buses always leave from the big BC car park. The time I believe is 11am subject to confirmation.

Thats nonsense they have sold over 20k so far. Think they will sell their full allocation but doubt the demand will be anything like we have. Hudds season ticket holders can buy 6 tickets each therefore friends and family can go.
Thats the problem at Forest, if someone only goes to 10 games a season but for example their brother who is a ST holder gets them the ticket when they do go, they are stuffed because its one per person and we are only going to sell to those with a direct purchase history.
Not sure what will happen if we dont sell 36k to people who have bought tickets before, think the club are very reluctant to put them on general sale. But you could get the ridiculous situation where thousands want to go but Forest wont sell them a ticket.
RE: We Are Going To Wembley - Salvatore Matrecano - 21-05-2022
To add to that, the reason for Forest decision on one per person is because of the incidents like this week. Its a dangerous game Hudds are playing, ST holder buys 6 tickets and puts 5 up for sale on a reticketing site. One of those 5 then get arrested at Wembley for something idiotic but it will be they guy who bought the tickets who will end up with the lifetime ban.

Yes what it probably means is that they have sold over 20k tickets but to only 6k different people. In other words 5 or 6 tickets per person or something like that.
RE: We Are Going To Wembley - Username - 21-05-2022
I read that they had sold 6,000.
This is the latest today from their Twitter account: UPDATE - 20 MAY
As of 20 May, all seats from our initial allocation on levels 1 (blocks in the 100s) and level 2 (blocks in the 200s) have been sold.
We are releasing blocks in the 500s on a clockwise basis as the open blocks reach capacity.
