I thought I’d have a look at the Wealdstone forum to see what they’re saying about us, but not only do you have to register, you have to answer a quiz about their history. Has anyone else tried and knows the answers?
Wealdstone were very open about the ticket numbers given to WWFC. I doubt Wealdstone won't sell out their own allocation, so we can't be waiting to see if we get more tickets.
I suspect the club will be having to determine exactly how they will allocate those tickets for sale to ST holders, corporate, club officials etc before they can announce on sale dates.
I have every confidence the ticket distribution will be handled without too many problems; we've come a long way since the incompetence displayed for that visit to White Hart Lane. For this match, with over a 1,000 tickets to sell, a not particularly helpful kick off time and the game being on telly, not to mention the general apathy shown towards the FA Cup, will we even sell out?
While respecting there's a lot of admin, they're busy with 100s of things etc etc, very much so yes. Especially as Wealdstone confirmed the details publicly about a week ago.
I gather that the actual reason is more likely to be that they are embroiled in a relegation battle and they don't want their focus on a very important league match taken away by the distraction of a big televised FA Cup game a few days later
The game they've postponed was also against Tamworth, another semi-pro club who have a big cup tie of their own that weekend. I'm sure it was a mutual decision.
Does seem very odd no update from us, after they posted on their ticketing page number of tickets we’ve been allocated.
I was wondering if Wealdstone might be planning to sell the away tickets themselves (or if clubs could still be in discussions on this still).
Think some National League clubs do that quite often (including Wealdstone based on upcoming league games), and would presumably mean they don’t have to pay us the admin costs.

Decent allocation that.

Superb. Thought it might be a real 400-500 ticket scuffle. But 1,000+ and being on sky should mean a good chance for most who want to go.
Just need Wycombe to confirm when they're available now.
Wealdstone questions:
me being nitpicky but its on ITV1 not sky
Ah yes, fair correction. Should mean even fewer want to go than perhaps would have.
Any news when we will have our allocation on sale?

This will be a test of how professional the new Wycombe Wanderers is. If it is efficiently and fairly organised we truly have entered a new era.
If we keep to the usual amateurish but well-meaning approach (swiftly followed by @Doob complaining on here) the traditional heart of WWFC beats on.
i truly hope it is the latter…
I'm sure there was one limited tickets job that the system allowed season ticket holders to get 5 or 6 each.
See if they've stopped that loophole.
I think I used that to take some plastics to Wembley last season. Supporters of Man U, Plymouth and Villa.
To be fair the said plastics had attended several games at AP and bought me Wembley price beer so my conscience is clear.
That was no problem as we could have taken another 20,000 if needed.
Just checked in in the Wealdstone website and they have, indeed, sold out their home allocation.
It's a surprise we haven't heard anything more about when we'll put tickets on sale.
Have they? It still lets you add tickets to basket.
That's just the seating that's sold out. Standing still available.
Wealdstone have postponed the league game scheduled for the Tuesday before our game to give them more chance to prepare.
Welcome back! Literally only put a post wondering about your whereabouts a day or so back
That will teach me to always scroll down the full page!
That's slander @bookertease !

We might have a chance if they get them available ASAP!
Amazing you can just decide not to play game A to help get ready for game B.
I’m pretty sure they’re not allowed to do that. Maybe NL has different rules
Wonder if they're letting Wealdstone sell out their tickets before releasing ours? To avoid our fans buying their end up or something?
The total silence from the club regarding an on sale date for the tickets is really odd isn't it?
While respecting there's a lot of admin, they're busy with 100s of things etc etc, very much so yes. Especially as Wealdstone confirmed the details publicly about a week ago.
They are prob using that time to allow ITV to get their camera's, wires etc all set up
