FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Probably a daft question but have you booked a Burnley ticket to take you up a game on your history?

[VillaAlways]

Yes I have . The annoying this is I went to a few at the start of the season but they went on Husbands ref as he was getting Villa cash for it Didn't give it a thought at the time for obvious reasons.

From what was said by folks who did the Clay Oven for the semi, it's a fair old walk to the ground apparently. So keep that in mind time wise, depending how fast you walk it can be a good half hour walk is what they said.

I'm in a bit of an awkward situation I'm going down with my husband he's a season ticket holder but I am a game short for the last criteria so I intend to watch the game in Wembley whilst he goes so am just looking at best options to watch game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There's the new shopping centre next door to the stadium, Wembley Designer Outlet ? I'm sure you could kill a couple of hours with hubby's plastic in there ?

We had a quick walk round the Wembley Designer Outlet before the semi final, wasn't that impressed by it; it reminded me slightly of West Bromwich for some reason. We didn't have a single drink that day either, but that was more to do with Mr L having a hospital appointment first thing the next day.

Dragging him round the shops on a Saturday afternoon ! Bloody typical

I've just had a couple of people contact me asking me to name my price for what I'm told is a very rare pressing of 'Never Mind The Bollocks', normally I'd ignore Duce requests but I've named my price.

A pair of FA Cup final tickets.

I haven't heard back as yet.

I only received one of the three tickets I bought. After calling the ticket office twice, they now say I need to call two days before the game, they will cancel my tickets and I'll have to pick up duplicates on the day from Wembley. I don't want to bore you with my sob story, but since someone else posted earlier that he received 5 tickets that weren't his, there are going to be a fair few genuine looking tickets out there that have been cancelled and won't let you in at the gate. My missing ones are in block 137 so if you are offered two together don't buy them, they won't work.

In a dilemma about tomorrow. Do I take the morning off work to go to the ticket office or try phones and online. Could do with not using my hols but the thought of not getting through online or by phone is a bit concerning. Any idea how many tickets are left?

If it helps I don't recall reading on here of people having problems getting through online, I found it a doddle for both the semi and final. I do know people who have taken ages getting through on the phone though, and I'm sure there'll be some sort sort of queue at the Ticket Office itself.

[A Northern Soul]

Got mine. Word of advice, go online. Despite it not recognising password and having to reset I was done by 9.15 whilst phones constantly engaged

Found this nugget of trivia while looking at an Arsenal forum about ticket touts.

This will be the 7th appearance at new Wembley
 First 2 times we had the east end and lost them both
 (FA Cup semi v Chelsea + League Cup final v Birmingham)
 Last 4 times we have had the west stand and won.

It's our year, we have the lucky west End, and they have their unlucky East End.
