FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[silhillvilla]

Well done c-o-82, you deserve it.

I'll be queuing early tomorrow although haven't got a clue how many tickets are left!
I'm desperately hunting for a spare client ref no for 7+ games for a ticket for my Son. Is there any kind hearted soul out there who can't make it to Wembley and would be prepared to pass on their client ref? Here's hoping!

Block 545 upper tier exact place we sat for semi

Same block as me! What was the view like? Looks decent on the view from your seat thing on Wembley website.

I queued for my ticket today from 4pm yesterday spoke to a lady called Nicola who is the boss over the ticket sales and she advised us to go home because there is enough to cover today's criteria and tmws but she did say there won't be many tickets next to other on weds. If your worrying and your local get down there and queue now it will be cold but if you seen the faces on ppl coming into the car park today and seeing 5-600 in front of them.

Good luck anyway

I think these f.a. Cup memories are just as much off the pitch as on it with the friends you make queing for tickets and the laughs you have

[Eurochamps82]

Thanks class of 82

Ticket office online is currently showing 11 blocks with tickets available including blocks 533 and 534 which must have been made available at some point late this morning or afternoon. I was in 533 for the semi final and had a good view (I'm not sure if you can get a bad view in the upper tier at Wembley tbh).

Respect again to class-of-82 and all those that queued at VP...and won!

Yep I agree, it's great being a Villa fan at the moment.  I hate queuing for anything and am a right miserable git when I am but the 3 and a half hours went a lot quicker chatting and laughing with the people in the queue and hearing the stories of how they got enough refs to be there.  It's amazing how many people gave up season tickets after last season after having one for so long. Lambert bored the life out of so many people, think there may be a surge in ST's next season.

The sleepless nights, worrying if me and my kids will get a ticket are over thank god.
60 hours without sleep from Sunday morning till tues night courtesy of picking my wife up from stansted at midnight Sunday no sleep into,work then a 2pm start from London to vp started queing for tickets at 4pm Monday for Tuesday me and 2 others there.
Stayed at the front all night with a group of about ten of us and nine cones.
Thought I was going to stay all day tues and tues night to get kids tickets because of mix up with Qpr game.
But God bless the lady who served me she sorted it out and got all three today I was so tired I nearly cried ( I did when know one was looking).
Promised myself the classy striped scarf in the vv for Wembley if I got the tickets and at 8-31am today I got it yeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssss.
Stopped off at beacons field services on m40 for a maccy d and woke up 2 hours later covered in relish and lettuce
This is what f.a. Cup dreams are made of

Brilliant !!

& they reckon the f a cup has had its day !

The view was awesome mate, even though for the semi they was the £43 tickets I thought I hope there ok and when I checked them out before the game they didn't disappoint

It's gonna be one hell of an awesome day,night
We are 1-0 up already cause you just know we are going crank up the atmosphere yet again like we did against the stripes then the Scouse the gooners just won't match us I just know it.

Agree. I got there at 750 to be faced with a queue if 500 or so. Bloody hell, i though. Queued for 3.5 hours and have to say it was really enjoyable due to the numerous fans I got talking to. Lots of banter and laughs and we all had many amusing excuses as to where our employers thought we were. Thanks to all for making the time go a lot quicker

[Rudy65]
