No luck today. Event ended. Chucked out of queue.

Never mind, Sky Sports will show match.

Try again tomorrow.

How many tickets do you need? 
Have you tried the spare tickets thread, on this forum? Lots of people being helped out on that page...

The mistake I think they’ve made is that they’ve sold the full lower tier of orients side I believe, I can’t see them allowing Charlton fans in the upper tier above them which is where most of the empty blocks will be

I should imagine that they would know what they are doing by now though.

It's fine, they'll tarp off the first 5/10 rows to stop people throwing stuff down

Also don't think it helps that this demand wouldn't have been expected. 

How many of us really expected us to shift 38k plus this easily, and be able to sell anywhere between 45-50k looking at it all, I certainly didn't. 

Was expecting us to fill out our initial allocation after general sale, just about.

Yep, that's what they usually do in that situation, example:

vff

Got 2 tickets - wanted 4 but lucky to get 2. Tickets sold out, hopefully will encourage Wembley to release more.  My tickets print at home, and received in my inbox all ready.

Getting the tickets was like some really shit video game. Thought had 4 but they disappeared from basket, not sure what I did / didn't do. Hopefully can get 2 more for family / partner in the same block if they get released. Quick to sell tickets, that's good but it would be nice to have more than 10 secs to see what you need to do and when clicked on seats, they should stick for at least enough time to process them to the basket

Modern bloody living. At least got 2 tickets.

Throwing them of the upper tier is just cruel.

Surely it’s more of a known thing is my point given how many matches they do this for. 

For example start with  35k each. Then a guaranteed extra 2k then you get x from any unsold by the other team?

Dont get the lack of detail if it follows a process?

Brilliant, you buy now & get tickets immediately.
Most who bought Saturday are still waiting.
Oh well, they'll come through eventually.

They do that for all the bigger followings though.

Orient have let's say 9,000 left of their allocation and it's unlikely they will sell many more now to fans that are known to them i.e. on their ticketing database. There only chance of selling more is if they go on General Sale - to fans unknown to them. They cannot do that if we don't have any to sell as the authorities (mainly the Police I would suggest) would not allow it as they will know Charlton fans would flood Orient's ticket office.

It is in Orient's best interests to sell-out Wembley based on the gate receipt share they would receive - which won't be more or less irrespective of which Club sells the seats. As soon as they realise that the better and it does not make sense for them to hold out until tomorrow. Release the spare allocation of c9,000 now and give 4,500 to each club for General Sale. They still won't sell the 4,500 but at least it's fair and gives us a chance to have an extra 4,500 there.

Orient ticket sales seem to have dried up

I’m not sure it’s in their interest to sell out Wembley. I appreciate it’s a bit more cash, but they don’t want to give us too big an advantage crowd wise.

Not sure it's a great advantage - we sell say 42,000 and they sell 32,000 assuming the additional 9,000 are sold equally.

Ask the Orient CEO and I bet he would say yes please to a share of an extra 9,000 ticket sales.

That ship sailed a long time ago…

The good news is all 1,400 tickets were in our half of the ground - no encroachment into the Orient half has been used up, yet, so could become available in the coming days.

And even after that, it means there must still be 5000 minimum empty seats & possibly more.

Yes got mine Saturday still waiting hopefully soon.

If you keep trying individual seats have been popping up even on lower tier for last few mins. There were 4 or 5 blocks available at 3:15.

PBr

All sold out although I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if there were a few sales that didn’t go through. 

RanTooFar

I managed to buy one seat at 2pm and the ticket was sent immediately as a PDF in the confirmation email.

Anyone still looking for tickets, I'm certain there will be more released over the next three days. Someone higher up mentioned that better tickets in the middle blocks were released one day before the 2019 final. Also shown in a pic above is that Wembley can tarp off a few rows of the upper blocks and sell the Orient tickets to us - they've got thousands unsold at present.

Having said that myTICKETS  have just come through this minute looks like it’s being sorted. Hope everyone gets sorted.
