Wembley tickets set to go on sale in May

Tickets for the NFL regular season game at Wembley between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants will go on sale on May 16 to the lucky ones among those who have registered to buy seats for the historic occasion.

Within 72 hours of the NFL announcing the first competitive game to be played outside of North America, nfluk.com received requests for more than half a million tickets to its special registration site.

Next week, an email will be sent out to registrants, confirming details of the on-sale date and procedure.

Prior to May 16, the first group of registrants to get lucky in the lottery for tickets will receive a further email giving them details of the next steps they have to take. Notification will include details on pricing and how many tickets individual applicants are able to buy.

Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of NFL UK, explained: "It is taking time for us to move this process forward, partly because we want everything to run as smoothly as possible. Beyond the May 16 offer there will be further opportunities to buy tickets so don't despair if you are not among the first group to be given the chance to purchase."

If they painted a wall and we where all let watch it dry it would be more exciting than this

Millions around the world would beg to differ with it

I've watched 2 super bowls, any game in which take over 4 hours to play 1 hour is just to damn slow

Not really fair to be invading your thread lads, but why do they call it football?

AZOffaly · April 30, 2007, 02:56:59 PM

Why do they call Gaelic Football 'football'? There's almost as much kicking in the American variety now. And I'd bet if you understood the game, you'd enjoy it.

You apply for tickets AZ?

I have to agree with the Dub on this one

Hardy · April 30, 2007, 03:02:53 PM

You have a point there AZ, about the handpassing. I just find it incredibly boring watching what's essentially a series of committee meetings at which they always decide to do the same thing – "OK, go out there and find someone to collide with".

I'm just having a bit of crack. I do understand the game – I spent enough time in the States to get at good handle on it. I just don't like it and it bores me. Sorry about that, but I can't force myself to like it.

Lads - if you are so bored by it - why bother coming into the thread at all then?

That should be obvious because we are even more bored in work

Hardy · April 30, 2007, 03:09:08 PM

Good question Gabriel. I don't know, to be honest - just wandered in here.

Maybe it's that this thread is way less boring than an American Football match.

Sorry i'll leave now enjoy yer thread lads
