I wonder if any priority would be given to those who buy this "Final 5" deal they've got going at the moment?

I doubt it, i'd imagine it will just be 5 games on your booking history.

You're probably right. I got one anyway. #jumpingonthebandwagon

I seriously doubt anyone bought one for the possibility of Wembley tickets.

That's kind of my point. Yet here we are.

And you missed my point that the people who have them, have them because they are spending money with the club.

Massively jealous of you boys and girls going down to Wembley. Will need to find some Blackburn supporters to watch the game with. Friendly banter is always good.
After watching the game on TV, make sure you sit in your motionless car for 3 hours to give it the real Wembley feel.

I saw your point but didn't pick up on it as I don't think you can make that claim, unless you know how every single person is using their VC cards. "Spending money with the club" is ambiguous; while it suggests ticket purchases, "Spending money on the club" =/= ticket purchases.

So that brings me to my point again; people may well have them but not used them for cup tickets, or any tickets at all, but now have the chance at getting tix to Wembley before others who have gone to the games.

Actually, I'm just annoyed that I didn't think to get one ;)

Sitting in a coach leaving London at 1mph in 2000 surrounded by gloating Chelsea fans really was living the dream.

I guess that must have been really lucky in all my Wembley trips because I've never had any problem getting away. As soon as the final whistle goes I immediately start running (well, what passes for running) for the car/Tube.

If driving, make sure not to head back towards the North Circular, head through the houses in the direction of Harrow.

I may however make an exception and hang around to watch Fab lift the cup.

I've never had a problem getting away even when I've been to watch England.

I always get the overhead to Marylebone from Wembley Park.  Then you're only 20 minutes from Euston.

Easy enough to do.

I haven't got a season ticket this year for the first time in 15 years, but I've still been to 9 home games so should have no worries with Wembley tickets. As our semi-final allocation is higher than our average attendance anyone who's attended games this year should have no problems. Wouldn't be surprised if the semi final tickets went on general sale.

thanks for the suggestions chaps. Certainly will combine getting wrecked, new Villa full back and chest tattoos, celebrating wildly a top a lamp post, before taking an eternity to drive home, finally getting arrested. I'll try and fit in a fight and being on the receiving end of some causal racism too to complete the experience.

I hope so for fair weather (in terms of attending) fans like me. And even when I have attended more, it has nearly always been away games

It won't be general sale but I wouldn't be surprised if the criteria ends up similar to the quarter final.
