Doesn't surprise me. Buying 3 tickets together online this morning was a stressful experience. Everytime I tried to put three together in the basket it then said that they were no longer available. In the end I got two - one behind the other and the third 5 seats along the row. Not ideal with an 8 and 11 year old but do-able. The speed that those tickets were selling at online was astonishing: they were literally disappearing before my eyes - and I mean literally. I reckon that in the 30 minutes that I was desperately searching for 3 tickets, 5000 must have been sold - it was that crazy.
The queuing system is fair but I don't know about the random place in the queue at the beginning but I suppose that that's the only way they could do it.
Just got ours, the queue was surprisingly short...about 5 minutes just 400 in front of me. Got 2 in area 543 row 5 so up in the gods but we are in! Booked on a train from Hastings to Gatwick.....off to Jersey for a chill out few days before the big weekend.
There were over 7800 in the queue at 9 o'clock this morning.
I just had a count up too and got 1665. Most seats are available in the North East section, particularly blocks 546-561. There are still some singles dotted around all over the place including in Cat 1 sections (edit: actually forget that, they're wheelchair/assistant tickets only).
Every time I thought I had a brilliant seat, I discovered it was for a wheelchair. I did this multiple times before accepting a seat in the gods. Watching the clock tick down while I messed about looking for the 'perfect' seat was so, so stressful.
Hi @JiMMy 85, were the wheelchair seats marked with an 'i' or similar? According to Wembley's interactive map my seats are wheelchair spots, but I didn't seen anything that indicated this on our booking pages or in my confirmation email.
@Neil Heaney from what I can tell it only let’s you book wheelchair seats if you are registered as a disabled ticket holder. When I got to the check out part it said something like “you can’t have these tickets” so you should be fine!

Not sure where CE got his figure, mine was a manual count of what was left per block. Regardless, it's a great effort that so many have bought tickets already.

I don't know for sure but I'm fairly confident that the club (or more likely their ticketing system provider) are using a third party that specialises in issueing tickets eg Ticketmaster. Hence the very effective queing system which would have to manage ALL customers to ALL of the events that they have currently available. So position 7800 does not just refer to CAFC customers eg it could include Sunderland supporters if they are using the same ticketing provider.

Question... I assume this is the bank of tix for Charlton fans.... any idea how many left in the whole stadium? Does this mean a sellout of Wembley is essentially imminent? 74,000?
I'm absolutely delighted that we are going to sell out. But I hate the idea of people missing out. Hopefully we will receive a few more thousand and everyone who wants to go can.

Those than can afford it should probably be able to get hospitality/corporate tickets, otherwise it’s down to people offloading spares or Sunderland not selling all of theirs

In contrast, the minnows at Stamford Bridge and the Emirates can't even sell out their 6,000 allocations for the Europa League Final.
Arsenal - "Tickets are currently on sale to Platinum, Gold, Silver, Purple, Red, Cannon and Junior Gunner members only." So basically anyone who's bought a scarf in the club shop.
Chelsea - Tickets are currently on sale to "Members with 0 loyalty points", so basically anyone who's quaffed champagne on the Kings Road.
Baku, blah, blah, blah, expensive, blah, blah, blah, logistical nightmare, blah, blah, blah. Face it lads, you're small time! We would have sold out purely on the basis that it's a new ground and Baku Railway Station has a rating of 4/5 on Trip Advisor. Mugs!
