F.A. Cup Tickets

[Clampy]

The week or so before they played at Wembley, they showed the goals at one of their games at Bescot or Bank's. There was hardly anyone there by the look of it.

Nothing wrong with that - they are what they are. Four thousand regulars and 25k who'll watch them in big games. It's a smaller scale version of us - about 32k regular but if we play Reading in the final we could sell Wembley out twice over.

I suppose they made a fair bit of money off it. It does seem a shame that they don't get a few more in. They would if they were to get promoted.

I've no doubt Blackburn would sell all their Final tickets but not sure about the Semis. We outnumbered the similarly-sized Bolton about 50-15,000 in 2000. It was a while ago though. Anyone any ideas if Wigan sold all their tickets? If they did then I'm sure Blackburn, as a much bugger club, would be able to.

There were more than 15K Bolton. From what I remember they sold nearly all their allocation.

And from a page or two back

It's a possibility. When Wigan played Millwall in 2013 about 6K 'neutral' tickets were issued as Wigan couldn't sell them. Whether they'd have offered them to their opponents if they could have sold is a bit of a guess, but Millwall only just about sold their allocation.
For the final Citeh got an initial 25K, and then a further 7K, Wigan asked for 21K which was then increased to 25K.

Those are the only examples I can think of where extra tickets were available at the new Wembley.

If Bolton sold out their allocation, it was only cos they had a much smaller allocation than us. There were only 62,000 there. I remember a couple of scallywag Bolton fans had managed to get hold of a loudspeaker after the game and were shouting "are there any other Bolton fans 'ere?"

I also remember the pop group Five driving past on their band coach and getting shitloads of abuse. Felt mildly guilty about joining in when I found out one of them was a Villa fan.

I am buying mine on Good Friday as I have no ST but all 4 Cup matches; my mate has to wait as he is blagging his from a ST holder who isn't going. The fun will be when I try and buy the two seats together I think - I have all the ST holder's details (including date of birth!) but I still fear they will not let me buy two tickets?

As long as you both qualify and have all the relevant info you'll be fine. Leeg is getting mine and his together next week when we both qualify.

What info will they need PWS?
I have name, date of birth, address, ST reference number, stand/block/row/seat but am still paranoid they won't let me have one!
A born worrier me  ;-)

That should be all you need. It's all Leeg has of my info and he's ordered us tickets for each round no problem. Although the plum forgot to stick Leicester on my reference, better hope that doesn't come back to haunt him!!!!

If these are equal what does that mean?

So technically you won't be recorded as being at the Leicester game ?

My mate has four league references to his account + L. Orient in the League Cup. AVFC say this game doesn't count. How unfair - anyone who was subject to that deserves a medal never mind being credited with his attendence at that fixture.

[Des Little]

Any ideas on how many tickets we would get for the final should we get there?
