There must be a good reason why Wembley can't simply allocate half the stadium to each club and set the order in which tickets are sold - or even better, oversee the ticket sales directly and maybe use AI or some form of technology to manage ticket sales in each section, ensuring the maximum number of tickets are sold to each club's fans and they a dispersed evenly.
In 2025 there's not even a system in place to avoid leaving singles in the family areas ! A space you can't/shouldn't be able to buy singers in.
I just bought my ticket with The Dons for Monday. £65 bang on the halfway line. No booking fee whatsoever, so we were being ripped off.
Additionally, is anybody seated in block 123 for our game against Orient? Orient are currently selling this block on their website, but it's on the west side of the stadium, so it should have been ours?
Absolutely bizarre that after all this who ha, Orient have been given more of the lower tier than us 🤷♂️
Block 123 was sold to Charlton. You couldn’t make it up. We booked 124 as didn’t want to be right next to their block.

Yeah that is odd. If I take my two kids to our local cinema, it won’t let me book three seats and leave a single seat gap to whoever is next to us and force us to sit next to them or leave at least two seats gap. If Landmark Cinema in Edmonton, Alberta can manage that I reckon Wembley stadium should be able to.

Orient have seemingly gone rogue!!
Well that could be interesting if they're selling seats to both sets of fans. The westernmost seat they currently have for sale in block 123 is seat 4 (3 is to the east of 4).
There is a stairwell to the west of seats 12, so it could be that 5-12 will be some netting to separate the fans.
Might be the case block 123 is split between the 2 teams with the segregation point down the middle of the block
123 was def with us at point of ticket release, but I didn’t personally see the block able to buy (I wasn’t looking though). Did anyone see tickets in offer there on Saturday? I suspect there wasn’t.
Anyway, just seems odd they will have more in the lower than us
Tried to book some tickets on the Orient site, but my account is too new, it won’t let me. Anyone got an older account they can use to buy some tickets? Desperate at this stage, I don’t really care where I sit

Easy for me to say but I'd wait a couple more days and see if we get more tickets to sell
And this is why the club needs to sort out their comms - people here and elsewhere confused and convinced that 2pm was the 1,400 tickets - serious risk of causing bigger problems by not issuing guidance - it’s not even as if the ticket office is open for in person visits nor calls picked up - inaction causes this

One of the Orient owners described them in an interview as the most authentic club in the UK. Anyone know what he means?
It means he's desperately looking for a USP to help them try to shift more tickets.
In truth they're no different to many other clubs - no more or less authentic.
Personally I've always had a soft spot for Orient. I used to work with a fella years ago who followed them home and away every week and once went to a couple of games with him and his mates - decent bunch. Normal fellas. No side to them.
Obviously I hope we beat them on Sunday, goes without saying, but you won't find me running them or their support down.
Fuck me, are people really arguing about transaction fees when they're supposedly desperate for tickets. I despair at times.
Sunday needs to hurry up!!!
No-one's arguing about transaction fees!
There is a simple disagreement about what price a "face value" ticket should be sold on as. Some people think face value is the value printed on the face of the ticket; others are happy that it includes a fee.

Might have something to do with the lack of projected tickets in the upper?
Will look a lot better if the bottom tiers are filled and then they can make it look better for the cameras.
Having empty bits at the bottom and a half full/less than half full top may look weird.

The Wembley/Orient map is slightly misleading.
In reality the blocks aren't self contained between the aisles. The aisles run down the middle of the blocks.
E.g. Orient are selling some in 501 today and we've already had a tiny slither of 501 ourselves. We've had most of 123 and Orient now have a tiny slither of it - about 4 or 5 seats in.
Obviously there must be a way the fans are separated and allow access.

Will keep trying but just concerned that even if they do, they will go within minutes(
The plot.. thins .. 123 must be getting segregated and any additional for us will be 528 onward I guess for the cameras which point toward the 144/101 block they wish to at least give the impression of a fuller ground
Why did people bother queuing up, when the club said this yesterday, and havent communicated anything else as yet..? - A further communication will be issued to fans ahead of these tickets going on sale, which will be in the next 48 hours
Because this is a shambles and we don’t f know what’s going on ???

I love Curbs. Oozes charisma.
A division lower next season ...
