Getting mine next Tuesday then my lad qualifies for one on the Friday (been to 4 FA Cup games). Will get ours first then buy him a single and he can come and sit on my lap (he's only 6). I presume as long as I get a ticket on the same tier he'll be OK? As I remember it from 2010 once you are in you can walk all the way around the concourse area, similar to the NIA or NEC etc?

Will this work for me and my 21yr old lad ?

Without gloating I'm in the Wednesday 9am batch.
Are there many more? Just trying to gauge how busy it will be.

That's where I should be but I cancelled my Cup Scheme ticket for the Blackpool match due to being up an Alp. First world problems and all that .......

Missing that one game drops me down the hierarchy to Friday morning

I'm Friday morning as well as, apparently, a day watching Villa vs Leicester wasn't as romantic as a weekend away for Valentines Day. Bloody women.

I hate Saint Valentine. Could the useless tosser not have waited till the football season finished, at least?

Rubbish. For the sake of £10.00 you should have just kept your ticket.

Can't get ours until a week Monday. Does anyone know if I buy online if it is possible to select the block you want to sit in? Or is it limited to buying the category of ticket and they put you in the available seats?

I have managed to get through to the ticket office this morning to confirm that if someone is buying a number of tickets for a group who want to sit together (upto 6) then they only need the client ref numbers of the people in the group.
They do not need to take the season ticket cards as well.

Hope this helps anyone who needs the info.

Rubbish. For the sake of £10.00 you should have just kept your ticket. 

Given the way things were going when the 3rd Round draw was made, semi-final ticket buying priorities never crossed my mind.  :)

Anyhow, as I've discovered during various conversations with the Ticket Office, ordering your ticket first does not give you the best seat. In fact, it sometimes gives you the worst.
