Fans left weary as anxious wait goes on for Bradford City Wembley tickets (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

I'm glad that video of the guy saying the Wigan game was in the first round has gone, it was embarrassing.

All the people waiting with hope maybe deserve a ticket,but the last 2,000 will be split between those that want and them that do not need to stand in line. one per person whatever criteria is met. We are lead to believe that 1,000 fans really want to go to Wembley but a thousand are not bothered, hence 2 per person. I AM SO FED UP and will be glad when we get back to the norm. ie. 10,000(500 away supporters) at V.P. oh! by the way, none of my family went to Crystal Palace nor Old Trafford in THAT season so that should exclude me......

I just hope for his sake it was down to the lack of sleep....

I notice that scum are already selling them on ebay

Hope City win it for the genuine 10,000 fans that have supported their team whatever the division/weather or situation. For those who have tickets and going down for the day out in London - you are a joke ( real fans are missing out). A BCFC friend of my family who's son son died of meningitus ( ashes scattered on VP), season ticket holders for years, cannot get tickets for himself & wife because they have been snapped up by the 5 minutes fans. He has even been quoted by a `fellow' fan £100 for a £45 ticket. I for one hope they make it to the game in memory of their son, who adored BCFC through the difficult times.
Go on City - Win it for the family Dimmock.

How many did L**ds take against villa in the final and what they getting now don't tell me it doesn't happen at every club

I see a City "fan" is auctioning 2 £40 tickets and currently stands at £250. Block 543, Row 24 Seat 104. Shouldn't be too difficult to trace who bought them.
I shouldn't imagine they would have been short of genuine fans wanting them at a little over face value, I don't mind them making a few quid but this is disgusting. They should be ashamed!
Hope the Football League don't see them!

It's illegal, the tickets were sold as to be traced to the purchaser so if they have a season ticket I would expect it cancelled and the ticket too with a bit of luck and reissued at cost from the ticket office.

I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years and have no problem with the non city fans going to wembley, what would the moaners prefer city to have just our hard core of 10,000 fans going with a couple of thousand floating supporters and send the rest back to wembley for Swansea to snap up, city could not have made it any cheaper to buy season tickets or flexi cards so true fans will have not missed out,hopefully some of the extra fans that the final has generated will continue to support the team in the coming years it's all about building a club,

Nickloza- I was there against Villa in '96 but what has that got to do with my point ? I can mention other teams names without the immature insertion of ***... Grow up.

So like I said before `go on' Bradford City win it for the genuine fans.

Is that ok N*c*l*z*.. ?

To be honest its starting to really f*** me off. Im not intending to be holier than thou, but I was Wycombe the other night. Okay, a lot of people go to these long midweek games, fair do's. But on my facebook I keep seeing comments from people I havent seen for 10-15 years since we were at school, people who would never ever think of going to Valley Parade and supported all the glory teams. Now they're all boasting on facebook about getting tickets, in-between going on about teams from cities theyve never been.

As I said, that is starting to get to me, as I know theres no intention of them coming back. I've told people I'm not getting tickets for them - literally friends of friends who I know have no interest and I'm being asked as I had a ST. Well no chance.

This one appears to have disappeared but there's another now in Block 529, Row 6, Seat 86 currently at £245. The cheapskate is offering Economy Delivery for a quid! There's even a listing for tickets in the Swansea end. This is just asking for trouble! Trace the purchaser and cancel the tickets as TVOR said.

fcat is what he's saying is it happens at every club. L**ds gate on a normal match day doesn't equate to those in big games thus where are these extra "fans' from? There will be "plastics" and non supporters in there with more deserving missing out. It happens every where.

What about the even bigger clubs than yourself, who sell their ticket on a weekly basis?

Its sad but it goes on everywhere not just on this occasion......

SORRY FOLKS, the point i tried to make was this, with just 2,000 tickets left and the demand so high maybe one per person would have seen everyone making a purchase.(is the pub open yet?)

And you know where all those tickets come from ?

The hardcore season ticket holders who snapped up three tickets with view of either selling one or two with the other going to the wife for a day out in London.

All this slagging off of people who have queued in freezing conditions yet the majority of the "plastics" that ST holders seem to detest are only going because of them in the first place

You couldn't make it up

Spot on pal,someone finally talking a bit of sense!

Fed up of all these conspiracy theories that people are making up. How about my theory: 30000+ city fans (fairweather, full time, part time, 50/50 whatever) are going to travel 210 miles south to roar on their team. Plus a few hundred people buying spares (that they are entitled to under the 3 per ST rule) and are now selling them on for a profit - something you will get in ANY all-ticket event where demand far outweighs supply. Conclusion: get over yourselves, stop moaning for the sake of it, and look forward to going to wembley and seeing something good finally happen to our great club after 13 god-awful seasons!!! Just a thought :-)

A thought...Some of us are not travelling 210 miles south because we already live in the south and Wembley for us will be nearly on home turf (well within 50 miles) (!) Not every Bradford supporter lives in Bradford and we do go to home matches when we can but if you get within a sniff of us down here we are there. I have been very disappointed in the ticket allocation but thankfully a Bradford fan who recognises us from the forums and matches has let us have 2 of his tickets (cost). We are looking forward to welcoming you to the balmy south... my god can you believe it WEMBLEY????!!!! CTID
