Tuesday's going to be a big day for sales then, including myself. To get Semi tickets I went down to Villa for 7am, might got down a few hours earlier to make sure I get some.

Anyone else trying this? Or will trying online make more sense than going down at 5 in the morning?
If it were me I'd be down there in person and would aim for about 430am

I'm up in Swindon seeing Sheffield United in away in the play-offs on Monday night anyway so I might just do an all-nighter!

I did an all-nighter in the North Stand car park for the final that shall not be mentioned. Sounds obvious but remember to take food, drink, a folding chair and a mobile phone charger (assuming you'll be in a car).

All things on my list! Yeah luckily I'll be in my car and I've got a USB adapter for my cigarette lighter so I'll be able charge my phone. I think I'm going to aim to be down there for 4am, I'm on exam leave at the moment so it might be a decent opportunity to get in a few hours of that ;)

Any idea of how many tickets are left? I have a feeling it'll go to Wednesday and sell out there but I haven't actually heard anything of how sales have been.

My mate who had some in depth issues to sort out with the TO was told that 'you would be surprised how many ST holders don't purchase a ticket'!

So now I'm torn between getting there for 4:30 or sitting in my cat for 6 hours...

Is there any reason to queue at VP when it can be done from the online ticket office?

1) You often get in earlier, for the semi we were let in at half 8 - TO and Online starts are supposed to start at 9. Also Prevents me having to worry about the site crashing etc.

I'd get there for 4:30, at least your cat will appreciate it.

I tried to buy the semi final online but it told me i didnt have the correct history which was wrong, so i had to go the ticket office after work to get them. Im not taking the risk of that happening again.

So iv got my chair and a crate of lager ready, just hope the weather isnt to bad.
