F.A. Cup Tickets

[Chris Stares]

You can't transfer tickets to other references.

That's interesting.  My son has been to all 4 FA Cup games but I've always bought his (and other family members') tickets in the past and the importance of assigning tickets to someone's client reference number never really registered with me before, so the tickets have always stayed allocated to client reference number.  I'm a ST holder and have also been to all 4 games along with my two ST mates, so we already have our semi final tickets.  When I called the ticket office to book our tickets, I asked the CSR whether it was possible to allocate tickets purchased to client reference numbers retrospectively, in order to try and get a ticket for my son.  She said that if they could discern a clear pattern from my booking history then it might be possible to do so, but that I would have to wait until the "attended all 4 FA Cup games" window opens before calling up.  I subsequently had this reiterated by another CSR when I rang up to book the coach travel for us a couple of days later.  Now, it could have been that they were just trying to get me off the phone as they were busy but I am definitely going to give it a punt when that window opens.  No harm in trying - they can only say no.

I'm having to wait until tomorrow to buy my ticket as my mate has a had a season ticket on the holte end for four years but not been to an FA Cup game this season. I've had a look online and it looks like almost all the tickets are gone and by the time we're able to buy tickets tomorrow afternoon it seems there will definitely not be seats together. How can this be possible if there's a 32,000 allocation and only around 18,000 season ticket holders? Do they make more sections available each day? I'm a bit worried we won't get a ticket at all and as we both live in Cardiff we aren't going to be able to make it to B6 to buy over the counter. Is anyone else worried?

Have lots of people received their tickets already? I booked mine by phone on the first morning and haven't had anything yet.

The general consensus is that more blocks become available with every new criteria.

Thanks. That's what I thought although it doesn't seem any extra sections were available this afternoon so those allowed to buy first thing seem to have an advantage.

We should all cross "/Liverpool" out on our tickets so they have to let us play Blackburn.

[Des Little]

We should all cross "/Liverpool" out on our tickets so they have to let us play Blackburn.

Now that's a good idea.

[joe_c]

We should all cross "/Liverpool" out on our tickets so they have to let us play Blackburn.

Now that's a good idea.

Or cross out burn/Liver so we get to play Blackpool again.

Now that's a good idea.

Or cross out burn/Liver so we get to play Blackpool again.

And the prefix "Semi-" in front of  the word "Final."

When you say the csr what is that short for mate
I'm in the same boat have to wait till the 8th to get my kids tickets can get mine before but gonna wait and get all three together.
We have been to 11 home games and 2 cup games but my kids have only had a ref number since the Leics cup game.
So the ticket office can see that I have always purchased 3 tickets for 11-12 home games every season.
Can you remember who you spoke to to tell you that

Sorry - CSR = Customer Service Rep.  As far as names are concerned, sorry again, I don't recall.  I'm not hopeful based upon what PWS has said, but I'm going to give it a go anyway.
