Magoo 2 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 How come that doesn't surprise me, with the NFL or NFL UK, it just shows what a well organised and easily accessible organisation the Patriots are, this would never happen with them. Yep, at least we'll be on TV and give the players a great welcome in warm ups, we need plenty of flags and plenty of noise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest scurry Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yes I have the block number, and I'm pretty cross about it. We have sideline tickets, but they are Rams sideline, and we are not at the 30-40 line, but the goalline/endzone, near the players entrance tunnel. I've dealt with a different (less experienced) person at the NFL this time. From my very first email to final application form, I mentioned PATRIOTS sideline. When she gave me the block number, it was a done deal. I protested, but she said that the Home team was where they did all their "group" allocations from. When I asked why we were on the peripheral edge of the top priced tickets, she said it was because of the size of our group. I'm very annoyed because they know what we wanted in January, and somehow managed to drop us in a pot with all other corporate ticket applications. Still, we'll be on the best side to get seen on TV, so lots of flags and noise needed, and Damo's sorting out some Pats towels for us to twirl! Blocks 140 and 506. See here => http://www.wembleyst...40|event:sports That's a shame, and pretty poor from NFLUK (another example of them letting us loyal fans down) but hopefully the Patriots will spend plenty of time scoring TDs into that endzone! Also if I remember correctly we warmed up at that end last time so should give us some great photo opportunities with plenty of close-ups of the players. Also I suppose its a different vantage point to take in the game from, if we'd been in exactly the same spot it might have all felt a bit samey as 09. Not to worry, thanks Ade. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See here => http://www.wembleyst...40|event:sports We were in block 141 for the Bucs game and you get a great view of the goal line action at that end and the players will be coming out right in front of you. Great photo ops as the players go in and out for the warm up. Brady did his post match interview at about the 10 yard line in that corner and most of the seats had cleared out so if you move across a bit you may be able to get his attention when he's done with the cameras. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Secret_Seagull 86 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Seating layout shown below. I requested a square block rather than a few long lines to keep us more together. I'm waiting to find out if first 19 rows are covered. If they are, we are front row, and I'll sit any shorter people there. Just let me know if you have short people with you.

realtygirl1971 3 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Woohoo! Very exciting Ade, you would be worth mugging LOL Huge thanks for all the work you did, I don't really care where the seats are as long as we get to see the game :-) Only downfall not being behind their bench is not butt shots of Brady ;-) I sewed the 4 flags together yesterday ready for the letters to go on and it is massive! Thinking we could hang it on the wall behind the cheerleaders or from the balcony at the top of the Sports Cafe :-) See you all soon! Sam 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BB may have said something along them lines, he was more diplomatic than Sean Payton in 2008 though who was a right miserable so and so.

Yes I think thats not for our section, as we cheered loud on 3rd downs, chanted when the Bucs were driving, and hushed for the Pats but theres another 81800 people who affect what is heard from the players and coaching staff! Haha Good news about that flag though, we will have to make a point of it that all UKPats know what is looks like/where it is hung up so it doesn't go walk about again. I think we should do something for the guys that have put so much effort into arranging this all over again, the tickets, the party, the flag football and and all the other events, but I don't know what. Any ideas? These guys have busy lives with full time jobs, and families, yet they still manage to give up their time to arrange all of this. My idea would be to maybe get a little pot going at the party for some beers for them all? 5/10 pound each? Just an idea, if not, individual thanks I am sure they could appreciate as well! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stanleymorgan Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I am in the front row of club wembley tier, Block 247 which is just above your block 140 and right where the players come out......so if you want any flags hung from there, I can do it for you. Assuming the Wembley stewards allow it ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

italian pat patriot 3 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Have we heard what block(s) our seats are in yet? Not that it really matters, especially if the seats are comparitable to 09, which was an excellent spot. Just interested to know, but can wait until tickets are delivered! Yes I have the block number, and I'm pretty cross about it. We have sideline tickets, but they are Rams sideline, and we are not at the 30-40 line, but the goalline/endzone, near the players entrance tunnel.

I'm very annoyed because they know what we wanted in January, and somehow managed to drop us in a pot with all other corporate ticket applications.

We were the road team, but I managed to snag a picture of them inside the stadium. They were about a block over from where the UKPatriots were sat. Amongst the family and friends of the players. Belichick's first lady, Wilfork's wife, Maroneys mum and sisters where in the vicinity too. I expect they will be in a similar area this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Secret_Seagull 86 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Mail just sent to those expecting tickets by post today .. Dear ticket holder, So, I went to the post office yesterday, and they no longer offer the £1.89 "Registered" service that I was intending to us for your tickets. They only have "Recorded" and "Special Delivery". "Recorded" is signed for, costs less than £1, but is delivered with normal mail and does not carry any insurance. "Special Delivery" carries £500 insurance, and is a separate, track-able, service. But they want £5.90 per envelope. I know that most of you have included £2 postage with your payment, and some of you an extra donation as well, but this will cost the UKP about £240 that we haven' budgeted for. I am sure that tickets would be reprinted if lost, but there is a hassle/worry factor with that. Also, the T&Cs say "The management is not obliged to to issue any replacement .. ". This is not a chance I suspect many of you will want to take. I am going to see if my office can help on Monday with an alternative option. If not' I'll go back to the Post Office and use the Special Delivery service. If this is the case, I may have to ask for an extra £3.90 per delivery to be sent to the UKP bank account to cover the additional postage cost. Sorry, it was poor research on my part in January when first setting the tickets charges I know, but everybody's tickets are here and safe and will be delivered securely as promised. And we're still far cheaper than TicketShafter! Cheers A 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElPatriota 10 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well, it is what it is. For peace of mind and considering the face value of the ticket, an extra £3.90? No contest as far as I'm concerned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
