FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[robbo1874]

Dunno about people back home, but when I've worn my villa shirt out recently ( ok today) I've had random strangers including Scousers come up to me and tell me they hope we stuff the arsenal. I always thought arsenal were one of those meh clubs that nobody really bothered about. Get to a cup final against them and seems everybody wants to be your best mate in Aus !

Tickets came in the post yesterday. Block 133. Row 33.

Get In!

My Dad foolishly booked a cruise prior to the 1/4 finals on the date of the final so my young lad has used his code. I'm then giving his code (4 FA Cup and 12 PL games) to my mate but will they sell him an adult ticket on a kids code? I know all the tickets were the same last time so do you think it's best to just buy a kids ticket on that code. Only difference I can see is that there are different coloured lights when you walk through the turnstiles. Depends what steward you get?

They will sell you an adult ticket as its more expensive.. Failing that give them a sob story. It worked for me at the SF

Would some kind person mind giving an update on what blocks are available now?
Cheers!

Quick question about the online ticket office...on the day when you're criteria becomes available, at what time in the morning does the online ticket office allow you to purchase tickets? Is the criteria scheduled to kick in at midnight, 9am or at a time when they update the website?

I'll need to make arrangements to go in late to work if its office hours only so any advise appreciated.

9am - otherwise those queueing at the door would be disadvantaged.

As I live so far away from VP, are they taking bookings via web site and/ or phone ?
Come 12th may where abouts or what value seats are likely to be left, if any ?
Wen ur criteria comes around if able to book on line is there a block map of wembley or just best seat available type bookings?
Thanks in advance for info

You can 'phone or use online booking - 'phone took me about 50 mine to get through for the semi but t was Good Friday - have permission to take an hour at work on the 11th form 9AM to get ours for the Final - what a great manager I have ;-)

Is there any advantage to going in person?

I've taken the day off in readiness

[olaftab]

No unless you are paying cash then you can save £2 and at the same time you can pick up your final replica shirt  and get your name printed without a queue!

My eldest got our semi tickets in person with his cousin, they were in and out in 10 minutes and were able to choose where we sat. So I am going down with my brother on Tuesday and hoping for the same quick turnaround.

Email from the club.
Apologies if this has already been posted, I know it was predicted by at least one poster.

Villa are pleased to announce a special ticket ballot for the upcoming FA Cup final against Arsenal.

All supporters who purchase a season ticket for the 2015-16 season (excluding current season ticket holders due to their entitlement to a Cup final ticket) by 5pm on Friday May 8 will be automatically entered into a Wembley ticket ballot - with lucky winners handed the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the showpiece event on Saturday May 30. For full details on the ballot, click here.

Don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere else but Falkirk have won the Scottish FA Cup twice, in 1913 &1957.

Villa won the English FA Cup in 1913 &1957.

Falkirk are in this year's Scottish FA Cup final.

It's written in the stars🙌🏻
