Anyone else gona plead ignorant to the fact it’s not a real ticket, turn up at wembo and chance it? Maybe start kicking off when the barcode doesn’t scan, in the hope they just let you in anyway?

Think the BLC have mentioned that there will be an option to buy programmes aye

Thread needs to be a sticky. For all the people that say it's a pointless competition, our progression to the final is now going to make some peoples lives much better because of it.

Ive just paid another tenner because upon going back onto the page to see what the total is, I actually read the bit about selecting a reward, and couldn’t remember if I did that or just selected to donate only

£14669 now. Great effort. Not sure if there is a delay too, as my purchase about 45 mins ago not showing up yet. Should smash the £20,000 mark. Ha'way

That's not counting the virtual mags who turn up at our games to see us lose.

I made a joke about this and @Leonard osbourne took umbrage.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

I’ll be getting mine tomorrow, will get one for the bairn as well.

Hope you can get your seats together. Will swap if needed

Fantastic stuff, we have some really good people on these boards.

 

[hungrymackem]

sub-human scum like you don’t even deserve a 3rd phase

No - phase 4 for you

Only in the Tranmere end mind....

Payback for when me and few hundred other Sunderland fans jumped over the fence into the Tranmere section and supported them as they knocked you out of the Mercantile Credit in 1988. We lost as well (well it was at Wembley.....)

 

[chevvies]

Done, nearly £15k now.

Who are producing, printing and distributing the tickets? It's a great idea but let's not pretend that it won't take a massive contribution from the club in terms of organisation and human resource (ticket office staff etc).

We are all in this together.

The club are reportedly spending half a million on a new pitch as well as having appointed numerous new staff members on what we can assume are good salaries. They also have the gear to print tickets and the people to design them. I realise SAFC are not a charity but the foundation are and given we will be getting a nice little kick back from the EFL for getting to the final and being on TV, I dont think spending a few thousand on printing some tickets and posting them out is all that much in the great scheme of things to help some local charities and local people. The club will benefit more from the good PR than it will cost them.

Its also not as if the ticket office staff are currently busy selling real tickets? Bring a few back from furlough for a week or so to sort this. How much would that cost? Or get the FOL staff to do it?
It's irrelevant anyway as the club are fully onboard.

Is there not a 'sticky' for this?
