Lee Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) I'm really excited. Just spent the last hour trying to get tickets for the 1st test event on 24th March(England V Italy u21). After phone lines crashing and server of the FA website crashing, I eventually managed to get 4 tickets. Can't believe I actually go through. I was in a queue at position 9.200 of more than 11,000 and suddenly I shot straight to the top of the list. Yipeeeee!

arwebb Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Good effort. Unfortunately I won't be at Wembley, as we've got a home game that day, but I plan to go down for one of the cup finals in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I have read somewhere that it will be a World Record attendance for an U21 football match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwebb Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 The thing is that Under-21 games in this country regularly sell out grounds all over the place. 30,000+ people go to watch the Under 21s regularly, partly because the ticketing policy of £10 for adults and £5 for the rest encourages people to go. It's not as expensive as ordinary club football. That, allied to the historic nature of the occasion, made a 60,000 sell-out on this occasion inevitable. If they'd been able to have the full capacity available, they'd have filled the rest of the seats as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its a bid of magic Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 It's great to see the historic Wembley Stadium, finally reaching for the finishing tape. True, it's not been a straight forward journey, but I'm still fairly sure, that despite all the contentious wrangling, that Multiplex will eventually reap the rewards of having been the company that built Wembley on their CV.

Lee Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I am sure I would be able to do that. Was offered £1000 the other day for my 4 tickets. Let's just say that I didn't even think about selling for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tower Bridge Fox Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I’m pleased to see the inside looks like a multi purpose stadium, in fact they have left so much room around the pitch they could almost fit an athletics track in without moving the seats,(but not quite) the ouside looks like a stadium, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
