Sent a mate,up the Fulham Rd early this morning (2'o'clock this morning)

He was turned away because the ticket alloction Q had already been sold.

So now thousands of season ticket holders are on the net.......in the lottery!

Im in a holding area on the net,just waiting and praying I can sort this out!!

I just think this whole situation is f**king mental!

My dad was originally meant to get there at midnight but someone called to say they had been queuing since lunchtime yesterday so he rushed down there at 7 last night

He said there was 300 in front of him and the word spread quickly

The rest of our groups tickets as they were in someones house in Worcester Park arrived by 10.30pm and they let him in

He said it was v organised though and most knew someone to talk to in the seats so it passed the time quicker at least they were undercover away from the elements

They put them in the stands in seat order and Eddie came round at about 8 ish with his clicker to check how many everyone wanted - so as not to let peolpe queue for nothing

They put on free hot & cold drinks and the big screens on with sky sports news

Assuming they sold them early to those waiting in the queue as I tried phoning him at 5.30 this morning and his phone was turned off and he hasn't called

Probably asleep by now

I think he would have called by now

Luckily he lives 5 mins away from the ground

Good luck Just - hope you've got them by now

Today's machine, Excaliber, was picked by Peter K from West London.

We will be using set of balls-up number1.

Now let's hand over to our official judicator Eddie Barnett for the lottery draw, Eddie..........release those tickets......

Got through and ordered ?80 ticket but when trying to pey had all sorts of problems. I received no confirmation the order had gone through and managed to get back in to re-order three times but on each occasion it's saying my allocation has been met so am assuming I'm in. BUT, when I ciontacted the club by email I got a response that I had to keep trying and couldn't get a straight answer when I explained I wasn't being allowed to re-order.

Just got to wait and bite my nails to the frigging bone!!!!!!!!!

GOT MINE BLUENUT MATE.... ?80!!!

Thank the heavens above,for beaming down on me on this sunny day!!

The whole organisation WASN'T right!!

We all have talked about this lots and although the Club didn't deal well,with distributing tickets....

...the blame lies at Brian Barwick's door!!

You are a disgrace B*rwick and you should resign!!!!!

I feel absolutely gutted for anyone who wanted a ticket

but could'nt get hold of one!!

If your not going to Wembley..........Fill up London's streets.........Paint the capital blue!!

Like we did in 1997!

WERE THE FAMOUS CHELSEA FC AND WERE GOING TO WEMBLEY..........

.........WEMBLEY.........WEMBLEY!!

Got mine at ?80 as well Block 128

My cousin came back from the scouse game & started queing about 5pm yesterday afternoon, he was about 25th in the line

There were so many people there that the box office opened up at 12~ish (midnight) as there were enough people to counter for the box offices allocation

They sold out at the box office about 1.45am

I was very lucky enough to have mine as I gave my cousin our season tickets

They didn't have any ?65 or ?80's behind the goal left! EVEN AT THAT TIME!

Anyhow good luck people & I hope it's gonna be a blue day for all of you

happy0034.gif NICE ONE!

Agree about Barwick though!

Stressful couple of hours this morning. Both me and my brother were waiting to log-in, whoever got their 1st would order the tickets. He got there, couldn't find where to purchase them as the screen kept going blank, he then logged out by mistake. If we were sitting together it'd probably have come to blows!! Thank heavens above we managed to get though, but I really feel for those who didn't.

Apparently the old bill advised them to open the office as people were turning up with crates of beer to see them through the night. icon_lol.gif

Anyone got a link for the seating plan?

Just been on the Chelsea site & ALL SOLD OUT!

We got ours aswell thanks to my lovely Dad

Waited until now to call him as I thought he might still be in bed

All credit to EB though for opening up the TO early for all those who queued in the ground - saved them waiting another 6 hrs unneccesarilyand for the ticket staff for working through the night

Got ?60 ones so we are all really pleased and so's my dad - everyone has paid for his ticket and given him his beer money for the day for queuing up for nrly 8 hrs
