I lost tickets to the League 2 Play-Off Final In Cardiff
The year Southend beat Lincoln.

I ended up having to take a day off work, get down to the Southend Ticket office the last day they were on sale and buy two more. I ended up having to sit in shitty seats near the back instead of my original ones behind the goal.

In the pub after the game, I found my original tickets in the zip up pocket inside my bag that I never use and must have put them to stay safe.

Could you not have sat in your original seats
given that either nobody else would be doing so or if someone had nicked them, they would be.

I can't say I ever memorise my block, row and seat number when I get a ticket for anything.

Me neither - I'm such an idiot like that.

That was your first mistake

"...instead of my original ones behind the goal."
In this instance it would appear that Scarpe had.

Not wishing to nit pick...
but just because he knew they were 'behind the goal' didn't necessarily mean that he had the block, row, and seat number memorised.

I'm assuming that he was referring to the Millenium Stadium, which is a bloody big venue.

Yup, right on all counts.

This does not happen often.

I wouldn't have known exactly which ones they were even if I had thought of that.
Which I didn't. As I'm stupid.
