    Didn't we beam back a cup game too? Reading away maybe?

    Yep!

    That is last years map. If it is to be believed they seem to be selling tickets for all tiers. So I would guess that would mean an allocation of around 40,000 tickets?

    I’m presuming I have to purchase via the club. Hope I don’t need loyalty points…unless iFollow subscription for the last five years counts!

    Given that there will be such a short time between the second leg and the final (If we are successful, not counting my Bantam chicks just yet), I would get in touch with the club. You could try Marco Townson marcotownson@bradfordcityafc.com
    They must have considered such circumstances and have a plan in place.
    You are not the only one who will be in such a position. I think the club should recognise the situation of ‘international supporters’.

    I suspect ticket sales will be controlled via EFL/Wembley. They always have been in the past, unless it has changed this year?

    I wouldn’t worry there is always plenty of tickets 30,000 plus.

    Surely there’s no such thing as paper tickets only? I’m hoping I can buy an e-ticket and have QR or barcode to scan via my phone at Wembley. I will email Marco - what’s his capacity at the club?

    Head of Ticketing, Data & CRM: Marco Townson. Here is the link to ‘who is who’, https://www.bradfordcityafc.com/club/whos-who/
    I have had paper tickets for previous visits, but agree it is likely to E-Tickets.

    It is the criteria for the allocation of tickets which is unknown. Will it be two per Season Ticket or even possibly three? How long a window until they go on general sale, etc?

    You have to remember that the ‘Second West’ will be hiring a fleet of coaches and will require thousands of tickets, if we make it.;)

    I’m just thinking if there’s a pick up point at Wembley, and what a hassle it’d be to go collect, rather than just receiving a ticket via email. Would like to think that if we’ve got a 40k allocation, there should be at least one going spare for a fan overseas :)

    Had a look at Luton and Coventrys pages to see their ticketing details. Both teams have been allocated just over 36,000 each (36,493 Luton - east side of Wembley & 36,237 Coventry - west side). Ticket prices match last years, so I'd expect the same for L2.

    However, ticket sales for the championship final are online only. Both have the same blurb which is below:
    Due to anticipated demand the Club and Ticketmaster advise all supporters will need to book online at www.eticketing.co.uk/lutontown

    Tickets will not be sold through Luton Town Ticket Office, although the Ticket Office staff we be available to assist with booking queries during normal advertised opening hours.

    Coventry have the same details but added to their blurb that only disabled fans should visit the ticket office for assistance with their online purchase. Both sides have been set an e-ticketing page, with all the help pages and help phone numbers for the site directing you to Ticketmaster support, so just looks like e-ticking is a sub-site of Ticketmaster. Both sets of fans are only allowed to purchase 2 tickets per season ticket/supporter ID and each transaction caps at 6 tickets. So sounds like the championship is bar code/QR Code only tickets, no more paper ones. I'd guess it's the same for the EFL as a whole.

    There will be no shortage of tickets, imagine salford would bring a couple of thousand. Maximum.

    If Salford get through, I pity the bars in whichever "end" of Wembley they are allocated to. They might as well shut up shop and stick the green eyed monster in the other "end" to watch the tills go kerching.

    They will dish out free tickets at Old Tafford pre ManU’s next home game . Takes “ Friends-and Family” to a whole new meaning!

    Regarding the game on Saturday, I notice it is on the same channel as the Stockport v Salford game.

    If that is the case and with Stockport v Salford kicking off at 12.30pm. What would happen should the Stockport v Salford game goes into extra time and then into penalties. With a 12.30pm kick off half time is likely to kick in around 1.20pm, Second half kick off around 1.35pm and full time about 2.25pm both based on about 5min injury time.
    Extra time in that scenario would likely kick off at 2.30pm, a few min injury time and pens and you are looking at coverage possibly running till 3.15pm.

    Do Sky stick with the game? Split the coverage? Delay our kick off?
