Why don't the club put 32,000 tickets in the centre circle and aT the end of the Swansea game St holders with 10+ yrs run on 1st then 5yrs etc and so on down the booking criteria line. To claim there tickets
 I'm sure all those At the end of the stripey game was practising for it

Or they could have a bumper edition of the half time challenge and you can't have a ticket until you've got a ball onto the middle of the target from the Holte End goal line

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

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.

Correct. No one gets to choose their ticket only the category. Happened to me in 2010 when as a ST holder I got a mighty shit seat

Anyone who has a season ticket or a half decent cup attendance this season has absolutely nothing to worry about. I must say there is a lot of rather OTT anguish going on round here.

Randy's booking history must be piss poor this season. He hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of a ticket.

He might have a  cash card which will get him in on Thursday April 2 in the PM.

Will all ST holders get a chance to buy the best positioned seats ?

You'd complain however the club did it. And they normally hold x amount of seats in each area of Wembley for each stand.

I sent a letter to the club along the lines of Silhillvilla's query for the 2000 FA cup final. The ticket office manager rang me to let me know that it would be organised as per PWS' reply.

I assume it'll be the same now.

(Was that Ray Fairfax 15 years ago?)

Spurs won't count as its after you book.

Is this definite? E.g. People who buy the final 5 package don't automatically become eligible?

We are experiencing very heavy demand on our ticket office phones - and expect it to get even busier on Wednesday when seats for our FA Cup semi-final become available.

Supporters without the relevant criteria who are looking to book their Wembley tickets - should call after April 2.

There will still be availability for other supporters at that stage.

The measures above will ensure efficiency within the ticket office - and make it possible for us to deal with purchasers in a very quick and proficient manner.

From Wednesday, we urge season ticket holders to call at times where they have the relevant criteria to purchase Wembley seats.

We also welcome calls from fans looking to purchase tickets for our upcoming match with Swansea this weekend as well as the away clashes against Manchester United and Tottenham.

We thank you for your co-operation and understanding during this busy period.

Spurs is a definite. They only count games that you've already been too.

Can you book semi final tickets online, or do you have to ring up?

The ticket office was packed yesterday, mostly it seemed with people queuing up to ask when they will be eligible to queue up again for semi final tickets.
