Question about Wembley Game October 2012

Dietmar Hamann

Just wondering if anyone on here knows if I'll be able to buy a jersey over at the match?

Also has anyone who bought their tickets on ticketmaster received them yet?

Thanks in advanced

There is merchandise for sale at the fan rally on the saturday in Trafalgar square and the tailgate party before the game. They will sell stuff from both teams (inc jerseys)

In the past at the tailgate there has been merchandice from all 32 teams including jerseys, hats, mini footballs etc. There is a bigger choice of jerseys and other merchandice like jackets etc for the two teams playing.
Also in the stadium there were stalls selling jerseys, t-shirts, footballs etc.
Also, there were a few pop-up shops around London for the week. I remember a small one in covent garden and there was a section in Harrods.
So getting a jersey will be no problem.

Tickets will probably not arrive until September or early October.

In the past they included a small brochure of the merchandice available at the tailgate when they post out the tickets.

When I last went to the game (2009) they had guinness and carlsberg. The bar near us ran out of Guinness in the first quarter so I moved over to Carlsberg.
I don't think they had Bud/Coors but can't be certain.

Just to add. I'm an eagles fan and only eagles jerseys you could get there are Vick and Jackson which is fair enough but if you wanna get a jersey for a slightly lesser known player you might get caught out.

they sell jerseys at the tailgate but to be honest it's a bit of a disaster, you're looking at queuing fro between 20 and 30 minutes to get to buy one. You'd be better off going to http://shop.nfluk.com/ or an american site like www.footballfanatics.com (only $20 postage to ireland) you'll get a better choice and get it delivered in heaps of time. They were also selling them in the Oxford Street Foot Locker, think that was the official shop for the match.

The tailgate is a big disappointment IMO, I wouldn't waste my time with it again.

Yeah It's more for the experience. Once is enough. Did get to take a picture with Vince Lombardi trophy though.

The year I went they only had leftover jerseys, that is jerseys from players who had left the team the year before. They must have thought "hey, let's get rid of these jerseys we can't sell any more by sending them all over to those Europeans. They'll be happy with any jersey and won't know who's who."

Hopefully they will have the new Nike jerseys. Thanks for the replies guys can't wait for it now!

I'd say they'd have to. I can't see Nike allowing them to flog off all the old Reebok ones.
