    MA agree about the one ticket per ID but assuming all 21,500 season ticket holders bought one each we wouldn't sell out would we
    From the original 36K tickets, 24K went to ST holders, home and away members etc and they were all allowed 1 ticket each. That left 12K on general sale. Anybody with a valid fan ID could go on and order up to 10 tickets provided you had 10 valid fan IDs. I understand why, it's to help groups of friends sit together. Unfortunately some folk borrowed numbers from fans who can't or weren't going and there will be some at Wembley who haven't been to a DCFC game since Wembley 2014 or even ever.

    Today we had an extra allocation of 2000 and everybody with an ID could phone/login and buy TWO. Stupidity. Even on Sunday with 12K up for sale there were over 31K in the online queue at one point. Today there were something like 10K people in the queue at one point.

    Everybody 1 ticket. Once you have one your fan ID becomes ineligible for more tickets for that game. That is IMO fair. The way it has been handled is ridiculous.

    Managed to get two, or someone did on my behalf because I could be nowhere near a computer today.
    Agree with DCFCA about the unfairness of those who haven’t been since our last trip to Wembley getting tickets ahead of relative regulars.
    What I found most annoying was Chelsea fans who found a way on the basis that they’re Lampard/Morris fans...then saying ‘we’re all Derby fans now’...just wrong.
    The other surprising thing is...the seats that were made available today are better than the ones I nearly got on Sunday...expected just back row left overs. How does that happen?
