But he woke to find huskies Storm and Sky had “ransacked” the whole case – and targeted the smallest but most important things in it.
He told the MailOnline: “I’d be angry at them but I’m more concerned as they managed to get hold of the flu capsules too.
“I feel like I’ve let my family and friends down as well because the tickets are for myself and them, and now four have been destroyed.”
Jamie faces a 280-mile round trip from Weymouth in the West Country to Wembley.

And he has been making frenzied efforts to remedy the situation.
He explained: “I’ve been on the phone non-stop to Coventry City.
“I spoke to Wembley and they said I had to speak to the club.
“There’s just no getting through on the phone and I can’t exactly go to the ticket office because I live in Dorset.
