Is £53 the top price ticket or is there a +£60 banding ?

One day you'll realise all the info is already in the thread and on the OS! :P

Ticket prices are: Category 1 - £63 [adults], £53 [concessions], Category 2 - £53 [adults], £43 [concessions], Category 3 - £43 [adults], 33 [concessions], Category 4 - £33 [adults], £23 [concessions].

any idea when they go on sale and what the sales criteria are?

Anyone got an email address for the ticket office manager? My young lad, age 6, has been to all 4 FA Cup games but doesn't have a season ticket. Logged in to see my booking history and only showing 2 FA Cup on his client code and the other 2 on mine. I phoned up just to see if they could put these 2, under 8 tickets, so clearly his, on to his code but they flatly refused saying it can't be altered after the game has been played. Bit annoyed as he could have got one on the Friday but now has to wait until the Tuesday after. Obviously a lot less people have been to all 4 looking at attendances against Blackpool and Bournemouth than the 2 who went to Leicester and Albion.

I have always been happy with the service offered by the Ticket Office but I think a helping of commercial pragmatism may be needed. I should have applied today for my ticket for the semi- final and would have obviously got one for my son who is 15 and been a season ticket holder for 9 years and has attended all but one of the cup games. I was told that I will have to apply on Friday as he does not qualify until then even though, quite obviously, I pay for the season tickets. The lack of flexibility did annoy me as I would have been able to drive today from Bedfordshire and get them in person, however I will now have the challenge of either applying for two tickets on line with two different reference number or incur excessive phone charges. I was told that every season ticket holder is guaranteed a ticket, if that is the case why not let me transact today?

As I've been a season ticket holder for the last 40 years, the club have told me I qualify for a seat in the royal box!

I attended the first ever game at the current site of Villa Park and have been a season ticket holder ever since. In all those years I have never missed a game home or away, including the reserve and youth teams. As such, the club have told me that I can choose where I sit and who else gets a ticket for the game.

So if you want a ticket to the game then get creeping to me you young whippersnappers!!!

They have also said that they will let me lead the team out on the day but I declined that offer and said that I would wait until the final to do that

You've had a season ticket since 1897?

WOOOOOOSH!

Ha ha... I'm not really that thick...

The point about West Brom and Blues having away games in London on Saturday does make me think that our match will be on the Sunday.

But this has been the case since the draw was made surely?

They have made it VERY clear that fans should not apply ahead of their qualification.
A little officious maybe, but they need to be seen to be applying the same rules to everyone.
I was ok for today but my mate and his daughter weren't, so I'll be sorting them out tomorrow. We'll be fine and so will you. The club know perfectly well that they have enough tickets for all of those listed in the criteria.
When we're running round Brum with the cup we'll look back and laugh at these bad old days!

It's only a couple of more days for you both to wait though.

its irrelevant.  The three games are many,many miles apart, and the combined away support at the other two games will be no more than one or two thousand people in a seething metropolis of how many millions?

I know but I imagine the queues / phone lines will be a lot busier on the 2 cup games day than the 4 which he has been to. Even have all the stubs here so might just go up on the 4 cup games day and kick up a fuss. If they can see they have loads left might be more flexible then.

I'm sorta in the same boat have tickets for Qpr game but it won't count against my kids bookings history as the game will not have been played before they can get there tickets.
Tickets are paid for so what's the difference
Ah well
