Does anyone remember what the ticket requirements where for gaining access to buy the final tickets? I was a blues Cruise member so I had to part exchange serval tickets to be able to get them. I believe it was around 8/10 games you had to go to? Anyone confrim this or know what games met the requirements. |  | | |  |

The later allocations were available with 4 ticket stubs, queued for 12 hours overnight. | | | |

I queued from the early hours with several mates. Radio Suffolk were broadcasting live - seem to remember a really short blonde reporter going up and down the long queue interviewing people.
I was listening to it as someone in the queue had it on - one of the stories was that a family were queuing overnight and a ‘lady of the night’ asked them if they wanted business, but then saw the kids and ran off.
Queuing seems odd now - these days you simply press the refresh on a computer. |  | | |

I rather doubt there will be a problem getting tickets. Sunderland were given an initial allocation of 37,000 tickets for the play-off final which was increased to 43,000. I think the allocation was pretty high in 2000 because a couple of friends who hadn't been to any games were able to get tickets. |  | | |

Think it was something like 4 ticket stubs, annoyingly a mate who used to come to nearly every game but didn't have a season ticket was able to get 4-5 tickets for his family opposed to me who went every game but couldn't! |  |

I remember frantically trying to gather enough ticket stubs together to go. Seem to recall that there were tables laid out in the gym for processing the tickets at the time. |  | | |

I queued from about 5pm the previous night. Woefully under prepared. Sat on the pavement opposite the Bus Depot and got little sleep if any.
Was worth it though. |  | | |

One of the great days following previous years of play off heartache. | | | |

I think first priority was 8 stubs, second was 4.
I remember stressing because I donated 4 of my 8 to my brother so we could both get a ticket, but they seemed to be selling so fast I thought we might both miss out! |  | | |

Cant quite remember. I had a few stubs from going to home games that season (wasnt a ST holder then). I do remember spending night in a sleeping bag (along with many others) outside PR to get tickets when the ticket office opened that morning!
Was a good laugh actually. |  |

Can't remember, but had a good time in the queue chatting to a couple who we bumped into again at Milan Cathedral 18 months later. |  | | |

Living 200+ miles from Ipswich, managed to get a ticket sitting together with a friend (another ITFC fan who lived in Huddersfield - hi Patrick if you're reading this!) without either of us going down to Suffolk. We both had a few away ticket histories & I think (but can't be sure) silver memberships.
Probably done via phone (landline) & post, as I don't think online booking/shopping was much of a thing for us at the time. |  |

as well as ticket stubs, i think there was also priority for people who had queued up / qualified as priority for the bolton game.
after queuing up for the bolton game (with enough stubs) i think i remember getting a voucher together with my bolton ticket that qualified me for 1 final ticket. not sure though... | | | |

I was at uni at the time and sent my stubs off by post with a request for a ticket. |  | | |

These days they will know how many tickets you've bought in the season, so I am sure if you have bought at least four or are silver member there won't be a problem. The following link shows how Nottingham Forest did it for the 36,000 tickets they were allocated for the play-off final.
