Hopefully 5000 tickets for each club but I worry many will go to neutrals.

I would be very surprised if we get allocated over 3000.

Let's hope the club have prepared, or are preparing for a more equitable way of distribution then.

Could we even afford the trip to Wembley??
I have no idea how much a coach will cost for the trip, but it could even be double the normal price due to social distancing e.g. a 50 seat coach will only be a 25 or less seater in these times

I've been thinking the same about coach limitations.

By the figure quoted above if 3000 wanted to travel by coach that would need 120 coaches.... :o

Somehow just can't see the time needed to organize such a logistical nightmare.

Hope I'm wrong.

One would think that the club have already made plans to get fans to Wembley.

Although date May 2020 I assume the instructions still apply:

Me too.

Was said 22k were at the FA Cup Final and 16k went to Chelsea and Leicester and the rest to neutrals , should be more like 10%.

Maybe the expense/uncertainty will put a lot of the glory seekers/fair weather fans off.

I'm thinking it will just be easier to drive especially with taking a kid, it would be a long time on a coach and driving we can stop off at our fav away days haunts, breaky on the A5 anyone?

Obviously a coach would be the cheaper option though.

Blackpool fans reckon they will be getting under 4000 tickets as do the Brentford fans. 10000 tickets in total for each play off final.

Blackpool FC are offering tickets to the top Ifollow subscribers.

How are lower league fans more infectious than Premiership fans? It was either a safe level at just over 20k or it wasn't. The risk is identical, so the attendance should be identical.

Bigger clubs syndrome as usual! If one final has 20,000 all the finals should have that total.

Sunderland had around 10000 in a 40000 capacity stadium for the play offs but are only allowed 4000ish in a 90000 stadium for the final. I hope we are all following the Science still.

60000 attended concerts and raves with only 15 positive tests as a result.

And that is, as it has been throughout the pandemic, the crux of the problem. The science has been repeatedly ignored. Clearly the risk is identical. I'll put money on it that it isn't reduced capacity because scientists advised it to be. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hope Morecambe speak to them and do something similar, I imagine there would be enough tickets for all of us since we got a few hundred viewers most matches? Then the rest can go on general sale

I'm an exile and for that reason don't have a season ticket. I would like to think that trust members are also given a chance. Plus anyone who donated in the crowd funder or has purchased i follow passes this season. I qualify on all three of the latter. Donated quite a lot on the crowd funder and I don't really want anything for it. It was to help the club. Just hope they can acknowledge this when the tickets are given out.

At Wembley both previous visits and will be gutted if I can't go this time.

UTS

3800 seems to be the number allocated to the Championship and League 1 clubs.

I just hope they give season ticket holders their ticket plus one other. It is not right to make season ticket holders, particularly older fans, who can make every morecambe game, travel to London on their own.

Whatever the club do, they have had plenty of time to come up with a system or plan.

How come teams are getting allocated under 4k? Yet for their home leg. Sunderland had 10k and their stadium is smaller than Wembley. So why aren't more tickets been allocated for the final?
