I got row 4 so I'm a tad disappointed as well.
But then realised that when Delph and the boys are parading the cup in front of us, we will feel right in the middle of things !!

I didn't receive a confirmation email.  But my ticket came last Friday so don't worry.

Was in Row 7 for semi, and it was a better view than if you were sat in row 7 at Villa park. You see plenty of the pitch. Good atmosphere too.

I myself am going to the final by virtue of my Dad giving up his ticket. My terminally ill uncle will not be able to make it, and my Dad wants to watch it with him, and if that's in a hospital bed or his home or hospice then so be it. That's what he wants. I hope he's still here for it. I'm pleased I have a ticket, but the circumstances make me wish I hadn't.

£332? You got a seat in the dugout?

[amfy]

Row 44 is the very back row - just under the roof. We were in that row for the semi final. The view is still good, and I am handing the responsibility for banging on the walls and roof to you! Maximum noise please!

[amfy]

Row 44 this time, which should be an even better view than I had for the semi

Should have quoted this!

On the 'will the sales go to the last day?' question - I did ask the club and they said they couldn't guarantee it.

They said it depended on how many season ticket holders took up their seats, which is bollocks because even season ticket holders who don't take their seats will be using their reference on behalf of someone they know.

It will depend on how many of the people with the desired booking histories take up their seats, and amongst those, there will be people who don't pass their reference on.

.....but more so it will depend on how many people build up their booking histories by adding the games to the end of the season (which is what we have done) - in that respect, the key day probably will be the penultimate day - How many people have boosted their booking history to 8? That was the real unknown quantity when they put the criteria out there!

I asked because we have had to buy tickets for games we can't even get to, in order to get Mike & Stu's histories up to 7, so it was a gamble, but in the end, one we decided was worthwhile. We are just keeping our fingers crossed that it gets that far! As it happens, we have managed to secure one ticket from elsewhere, but if I can get 2 on the final day of sales, I know where the other one is going!

I'm hopeful that we'll be ok on 8+ day but I'd be worried if I was on 7+ day. We'll see, I came back when Tim was appointed after giving up the season ticket last summer and had only been to about 4 games up to that point so if it's not to be, it's not to be.

[dalians umbrella]

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

Not 126

Ironically, that's exactly where I've ended up.

I was in row 6 for the semi and watched most of the game on the TV screen it was that bad when the ball went over to the far side.

Dont mention it...
