hi Mulla76,

just wondering could you give me some advice on the wembley cup tickets?
see my boyfriend is a big spurs fan and its his birthday on the 20th so would like to surprise him with a weekend ticket to the wembley cup, what i'm wondering is do you think tickets will sell really fast, as in if i wait until they are on sale to the general public on the 18th is it very unlikely that i'll be able to get any ticket?
and sorry one more thing- would ticketmaster be my best option to get them on monday morning?

Hi Rainbow, just read your post. I would'nt think you'll have any problem getting tickets etc.. for the Wembley Cup. Wembley holds nearly 90,000, and I'd imagine it will most definitely be knowhere near sold out for any of the games.

See below link from Spurs website regarding tickets.

Hi Rainbowsunny,

you should have no problems getting tickets in the general sale, Wembley is huge and cant see it being sold out at all. In saying that I would buy them sooner rather than later to get better seats.

cheers

Mullo76

Sorry Hatch hadnt seen your response.
You heading over on Sat?

rainbowsunny

thanks for that!
was a bit silly of me not to take the size of Wembley into account just didn't know how big this match is to be honest!

just one other thing, not that i think he'd really care (and this too could be a ditzy question) but are they likely to field their first line up for this match? as in would the bigger names be playing?

Unfortunately not mate, the current climate is tearing the bollo* outta me. Will still be renewing but will be picking games carefully for next season.

All the big names will certainly be in the squad, assuming there not injured. He'll get to see most of the top names id say.

why would people bother with this? to me friendlies no matter how glamourous the opponents are like going to boxing and watching the boxers fight with one hand tied behind their backs. I' d prefer to see a leahue cup tie against league 2 opposition than bother with the likes of this!

what say ye?

rainbowsunny

thanks for that Hatch99

I wont be going for purely that reason, no bite/fight in the game. Will keep my cash/brownie points for start of next season instead.

Though in saying that if I were already going to London for a weekend away would prob head along for a look but wouldnt plan a weekend based on these games, if that makes sense..

Agreed, but this girl is just doing it as a suprise for her hubbie which is pretty sound in fairness.

But I agree with what you said above.

Any one tried to get tickets for the up coming tournament?? Why did the club give the allocation of tickets to "Ticket masters". I was very excited to get an e-mail from the club giving me priority tickets as a Club member for this up coming tournament, between Spurs, Celtic, Barcelona and the Egyption Champions in July at Wembley. Prices started @ £50 for an adult & £35 for children. Great value as it covered the two games between Spurs & Celtic and Spurs & Barcelona on the Friday & Sunday. Quick check with Ryanair and could get the flights that weekend for €80 (self and the three lads) return. Assumed that I could purchase match tickets 1 adult & 3 kids totalling £155.00. Great chance to take them to 2 matches at Wembley.Then rang that buch of W*****'s at Ticket Masters within three hours of the e-mail from THFC. Was told, "cant get you seats together", if you want seats together it'll cost £350 plus our credit card fee plus our booking fee plus plus plus plus plus. Shove it ticket masters!! were in a recession. Would never have got that treatment from the club if they had the ticket allocation.

Meathfan

I always find ticketmistress to be a very expensive way to get tickets.

I guess since it involves other clubs we had to let Wembley use that outside agency:mad:

therecklessone

The club had no part to play in the distribution of tickets as we are invited participants, not the organisers. That applied to all the tickets for the event.

Mustn't have many dealings with our ticket office...;)

I have, both over the phone and in person, and always found them to be helpful to a tee. Couldn't have done more for me even when they have changed my original tickets to enable us to sit with our cousins, in the same block.

Meathfan

I have also dealt with our ticket office.

They have always been helpful and when I booked thro them:D

limerickyidd

Thanks for agreeing with me Meath Fan:)

Anyone else not got their tickets from Ticketmaster yet??? I've been told they're FedEx'ing them tomorrow but it'll be cutting it close considering I'll need them by Thursday! Just after ringing them and they basically told me it's my fault if I don't get them on time (ie they won't produce duplicates and leave them at the box office).

Wouldn't mind but I booked them over two months ago!

I couldn't get them off Ticketmasters site so I used the alternative merchant, SEE.

They said they can't post to Ireland and are keeping the tickets for me to collect at Wembley Box Office. Maybe Ticketmaster actually do the same?

Anyways, that crowd SEE seem OK. Easy to get through to them too, not like Ticketmaster.

Did Seetickets sell them for the Spurs area of the ground? I thought that was just via Ticketmaster.

I had no problem ordering or paying for the tickets (way back in May), or getting through to their customer service (even on a Sunday). It's just that they haven't sent them out yet, and claim that whatever stage they're at I just have to wait for them to get to FedEx and then get to me.

I'd love to collect them at the box office, but at this stage they won't let me!

Mullins07

I could not get the option to buy with Ticketmaster online as the only acceptable delivery addresses were UK.

I tried to ring them and couldn't get through so I checked out SEE.

They had some in the Spurs area and I got through on the phone straight away.
It says on their site that overseas orders must be collected at the venue.

Anyways, I hope you got them in time.

Hearvee

Strange, because I had no problem ordering them from Ticketmaster for delivery to Ireland. Shame cos pickup at the venue would've saved a lot of hassle!

Anyhow, after asking for FedEx to reroute the package, and three failed attempts to deliver to the original address, I'm now picking them up at the
Dublin airport depot in the morning. And hoping that they don't put them on a truck again...
