Good question
I was wondering that as well, couldn't see any indicators on the ticketing system.

Just interesting to know, was able to buy tickets but I could not figure out how some are able to see how many have been sold 😅
Or is it a load of guessing.

When you go to book a ticket enter "Aldershot" in the "Price Category *" field, then select one of the available "Area/Stand" field choices e.g. "North West Level 5", then look at the available drop downs in the "Block" field e,g, 546 (available seats -420), 547 (available seats -390) etc. You don't need to order a ticket to do this,

My guess is the 16,000 estimate is not accurate.

I think Wembley are only selling 4-5 blocks at a time in each tier. Once one block is sold, they open up another.

For us, in tier 5, only blocks 546-550 are showing available.
On Facebook, I've seen people say they have tickets in blocks 551 and 552.
I have not seen anyone say they have tickets in blocks 540 to 545.
Therefore I think only half the blocks in the upper tier have gone on sale yet - however, if I am wrong, I am happy to be corrected :-).

I would therefore estimate the number of tickets we've sold to be closer to 13,000 than 16,000 at the moment - still an unbelievable effort!

Looking at the other teams:
AFC Whyleafe are only showing blocks 125-128 on sale at the moment.
Spennymoor 103-108 (plus a few safe standing at 110-112).
Whistable 113-117

There may also be blocks in tier 1 that haven't been put on sale for those other 3 teams.

AFC Whyteleafe looked to have about 60 fans at Horley Town last night at best for a crucial title match in their penultimate league game of the season - so I didn't expect they would sell more than 3-4,000 tickets for Wembley in total.

I think people are getting carried away with the numbers, take into account how many have entered for tickets multiple times and I bet the number is not nearly that high. In a couple of days when the seats are confirmed I reckon lots will suddenly become available. My guess is that it is probably around half that figure or just over, but we shall see soon.

That's incredible after just 1 day of sales, I presume that isn't taking into consideration Shots in the neutral zone?

If only someone could realise the potential of this great club which these ticket sales again prove.

Hopefully this can be a watershed moment for the BOD where the small time 'we are lucky to be in the National league' type mentality is binned for good.

Will they increase the Shots allocation or will there be many ‘neutrals’ adorned is ref and blue on the day?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I've sat high behind the goal before at Wembley. Those are really good seats. I hope people getting them late won't feel too down about options because they'll still have a great day and a good view.

Money pit though isn't it? And I think it'll only get worse. Maybe at some point some rich American will take a shine to the club's history and military links, etc, feels like a real trend atm.

A well run club averaging 3,500 with the kind of matchday experience that maximises what people spend in the ground may well produce a better future.. it's not unrealistic... how do we get there...
