Leeds Utd play off final tickets

Redmikee

Hi everyone ,
I would love to take my two kids to Cardiff for the play off final, but can't get tickets.
Is there anyone out there capable of getting tickets (season ticket holders, members etc) who can't make it to Cardiff willing to obtain them for us?
Obviously an 'inconvenience' charge could be added to the face value of the tickets for your efforts.

Thanks

My partner & I are after them too, he is thinking of getting them for the Watford end! LOL...(he would rather do that than miss out completly, he has done it a few times!)

Again similar adviceto before, i dont know a ticket office manager that as long as there are tickets available will turn a genuine fan away at the end of the queue without a ticket.

Get down to the ground on the day the tickets are onsale join the queue and try your luck, you have nothing to loose and every thing to gain, take the number of people you want tickets for and dont push your luck and you should get a ticket each. take as many ticket stubs for previous games you have and only bring them out as a last resort showing your not just a part time suporter.

If you are part time dont try this let those that turn up to games get the tickets.

if you are struggling to get tickets then as Little John says, there's more deserving people out there getting them who meet the requirements

Can I suggest you obtain the facts before you accuse people of not deserving tickets. Do you know me? do i deserve tickets less than someone who will buy them on ebay just because they can afford to pay ridiculously overpriced fees to touts?
Why when someone asks for help do people who are incapable of helping feel they have the right to stick their oar in?

I know it's a long shot but you could follow this MSE's link to try to win tickets to the match.

I would also love to go. I used to go to Elland Road for almost every home game but unfortunately I cannot afford to go anywhere near so often now. I can understand that people who are loyal supporters should get priority but little john also needs to realise that there are genuine fans who, because of circumstances out of their control may not be able to afford a season ticket.
Good luck!

Or genuine fans who can't buy a ticket because it is impractical due to work or family commitments.
Anyway I know I am not the biggest fan in the world, I never said I was.
Leeds have an allocation of 33,000 tickets and there are enough for all the season ticket holders so I wouldn't be denying them a place anyway.
Thanks Jenza I will try my luck and see if fate believes I deserve tickets.

I'm afraid it's against site rules to sell, trade, exchange or swap. For more details please see here.

I apologise I will now ask for any facts about peoples situation before giving the advice I have to give just incase I upset anyone. You wernt very forthcoming with details in your initial post were you so I replied gong f your post.

I told you your best chance of getting tickets if your not a season ticket holder or have any of the requirements that they are looking for. The reason I know this is because I have worked in a clubs ticket office selling tickets to finals at both Wembley and Cardiff playoffs and cup final. You have to remember that the people working for the club are fans too and dont want likeminded people to think they are a bunch of bas***ds so they will do everything they can to sort you out it is just a case of you need to be there at the right time and the right person see's you. if your there for the whole day standing arround they will notice you, you could maybe get someone in the queue to buy tickets for you maybe they have 4 season tickets and only need 4 tickets they could get another 4 and let you buy 2 of them? If your son is yong, take him along to get extra sympathy, keep checking ot see how many tickets are left with the people selling again to make them notice you make sure they know your story, you will be the subject of their lunch break (actually it will be a sandwich and a drink eaten between the next customer) but they will talk about you and you should get what you are looking for.

My comments about people who deserve tickets it correct, Working in the ticket office I get calls from freinds and family pretty much as soon as the team qualified people that pick and choose the games they go to if they go to any games but becasue they get to the final they want to go. Its hard and it upsets people but I refuse to get them tickets, It would be very easy for me to get them but I dont do it.

sorry Pink but at least I haven't done anything wrong as no-one can sell, trade or exchange any tickets
Sorry Little John, I may have come across as a little snappy but you understand this a very tense week :eek:
Thanks for the advice anyway.
