Party on Selhurst Park pitch tickets

This damp squib of a celebration makes no sense to me. Didn't the club have a contingency plan, agreed with police and councils, in case they won the final? Spurs got their parade organised within 24 hours of winning the Europa cup.
And why did tickets for Selhurst Park sell out so fast? Like many others, I missed out (after queuing behind 2,700 others I eventually reached the head of the queue, only to be timed out!). Why aren't other stands being opened to accommodate the thousands who still want to come? Don't the club want a full house?
I didn't get to the final last Saturday (I'm only a Gold Member and missed out). Fair enough. But I did think I'd be able to see the celebration this Monday.
I was there (on the pitch!) when we were promoted to Div II in 1964.
I turned up at noon for the 3pm kick-off for our first-ever game in the top flight, against Man Utd in 1969.
I was at Stamford Bridge for the semi-final against Southampton in 1976.
I was there (with 51,000 others) for that magical night at home to Burnley in May 1979.
I was at Wembley for the 1990 FA cup final replay (couldn't get tickets for the first game), and for the Zenith Data Systems cup final, and for the 2012 play-off final against Watford.
I was at the 2016 final.
But I can't even get into the ground to see them celebrate when they win the club's first major prize.
'This is for the supporters', said Glasner. But it doesn't feel that way at the moment. It all feels a bit shabby.

I agree. Apparently Croydon council wanted £230k to facilitate a long bus parade and the club turned it down and went for the much cheaper option. Less than 2 weeks of Benteke wages.. ridiculous penny pinching
 
Anyone else unable to add their ticket from confirmation email into google wallet? Constantly getting this error message

Thats shocking if correct! Even at £230k, the huge amount of new supporters they could catch for the rest of their lives is huge, getting the £230k back a hundred fold in time! We are going to be a laughing stock if it goes on the local news, which it will! This has spoiled the great effort the team put in,and their moment of glory to be worshipped by the whole town for their great effort! I"m truly gutted, was looking all week for the parade route and it turns out to be dow whitehorse lane, left park road, right holmesdale road,,,,to hear its because of £230k savings is a kick in the nuts, considering how long we have all waited for this momentous occasion!Pay up Steve and go into Croydon and the town hall! Easy access from beckenham on tram for bromley eagles and south coast palace o train to east Croydon!
