F.A. Cup Tickets

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm not having a go but when doug was here buying tickets seemed a lot more straight forward than it is now, I think it's been a bit shit in all fairness, as others have pointed out Liverpool and Reading were sorted ages ago

At 2.45 today. The criteria changes to anybody with a ticket stub from that Southampton game.

A mate has just left the ticket office, he reckons there are about 50 people at the door and he saw two piles of tickets a foot high each.

Fantastic Alan, great news, very happy for you

There must be a huge number of people that can't get there that want tickets and could otherwise get them (like myself) that'll miss out completely.

It's going to be frustrating, I'm living just down the road from Wembley too.

If I thought it was possible, I would have caught that 5:45am train with Alan_Clarke! Great job.. deserves best tickets in the house for that effort!

It was easier in some ways because it was either programme vouchers or ticket stubs. However that meant that people abused the system because it was a piece of piss to do so, at least this way those that go the most to VP are guaranteed a ticket. Which is the way it should be.

In hindsight though they have dragged it out too much. This criteria should have been last week as a lot of people who only go occasionally are going to be those that live a fair distance away. And expecting them to be able to get up to VP on a weekday at such notice is obviously going to be hard for a number of people.
That said, I think they expected to have sold out before reaching this criteria, so maybe they got caught out a touch by a larger than expected number of people not claiming tickets who qualified to do so.

So glad you got a tkt Alan. Been watching your 'journey'. Hope yr boss is forgiving.

I would expect that next time we get to Wembley we'll have a fully electronic system in place.  People travelling from London to stand in a queue is just absurd in this day and age.

Can't see such a system being ready in less than a month.

Are you saying we should prioritise out of town fans over those who don't have electricity?

Have fabulous time boys and girls. Massively jealous. Will be cheering us on from sunny Toronto
