The Final

[PGW]

736 Clubs entered the FA Cup this season, all of which have been able to apply for tickets, so if you know anyone at your local non-league club give them a call. There's no harm in asking.
734 of them are out now anyway!!

It's not just teams who enter the FA Cup but any club who are affiliated to the FA. I ran Sunday club for years and i applied every season and i always received 2 tickets on occassion 4.
Then if anyone in our club had an affiliation to one of the finalists i gave them to them. Club folded two years ago so cant apply now.

I've got no chance of a ticket and frankly I don't deserve one having not actually paid to see Villa for about three seasons!
But I think I'll head to that there London anyway so I might see a couple of you for drinkies somewhere beforehand.

Scotland or London?

[olaftab]

Hotel booked! Bloody expensive this Wembley lark.

Same here booked for two nights in a hotel  in Sussex Garden.

No point sitting on my hands at the back of the room. I too would be eternally grateful, if any kind soul can help me out with an unused ref, or a ticket, please.

Meanwhile, I will continue to beat an already life expired beast of the equine variety.

Thank you in anticipation.

I have had a season ticket for 16 years, went travelling last April so didn't get once this year as only got back at Christmas.

Have been to all five cup games, Sunderland have a ticket for Man City and will buy the three remaining home games. So will have 10 including every FA Cup game.

I wonder if I'll have any chance?

The most frustrating thing is that I get a few freebies with my mates, so I didn't bother to get a half season-ticket at Christmas when I returned. The only home games I've missed are Swansea and Chelsea since mid-December.

[Dr Butler]

when will the criteria be announced for the final ?

Yeah waiting to find out the criteria to plan my strategy. I'm not gonna miss the final, I'll pay a ridiculous premium off a tout if I have to, however I don't want to buy tickets for all the remaining home and away games to bung my history up to find out that I can't get one anyway, to then find out I have to pay XX from a tout outside

I don't want to get your hopes up, but I'd be very suprised if you don't get a ticket. After ST holders, I'd bet the next criteria will be 'all 5 cup games'. Bear in mind there should be a good 7,000 tickets left after ST holders, I doubt there are 7,000 people with better booking history than you.

[JJ-AV]

Are you sure on that criteria? I got my semi tickets late because I was on holiday, so didn't pay much attention to the crtieria... but I thought 15+, 12+, 10+ games all came before attending all 5 cup games.


If that's the case and there's circa 2,500 tickets after ST holders, then I don't think I'll get one. There's gotta be more than 2,500 people who've been to 12 games in total this season without a season ticket.


However, I hope you're right mate!

Obviously I don't know what the criteria will be, but this is what it was for the semi:



So you can see that they're placing emphasis on attending the cup games, with good reason as attendances in the early rounds are always poor and this will drive them next season. I really think 5 cup games will be enough to get you a ticket.

Bear in mind we only have around 18,000 ST holders.

Put on the other Final thread but will also put on here, I am coming back from Oman for this, flight already booked and if anyone for any reason gets a ticket but cant use it I will pay a handsome dividend, asked also if there were many touts outside on Sunday and also if anybody knows the sites for these Wembley Club tickets please pm me. Have got loads of feelers out already but I am now 55 and if its another 15 years before we get there again, lifestyle and past history means I will be watching that one as a Holte Ender in the Sky. By hook or by crook I'm not missing this one.

[JJ-AV]

Cheers Chipsticks, that criteria does make me feel a bit better about it.

This is what I am hoping

Wondering if they will allow the remaining home games to go against your booking history.i had Qpr tickets but they would not count against my booking history Because my day for semi tickets was on the Tuesday of the game.

They only count if the game has been played so the QPR one will now count for you
