The FA Cup (Other football)

[TopDeck113]

If semi-finals were still played on grounds other than Wembley, we'd be playing Palace at one of Spurs or Arsenal; Forest-Man City would be at Villa Park.  All supporters of the participants would be rightly moaning at the lack of tickets.  As much as I still dislike Wembley being used for semi-finals, the opportunity for more supporters to attend is undeniable.

Couldn’t wait to get to the end of the thread so apologies if I’ve missed it, but prompted by earlier discussions, does anyone know what chance have me and my two kids have got for Wembley tickets? We are members and could only get to the West Ham FA Cup game due to my work commitments.

Just had a text from a blue nose stating that we won’t be taking 40,000+ to Wembley like they are - I did reply that we won’t be getting that many tickets for the game - just waiting for his reply

Hopefully everyone who wants a ticket will some how manage to get one - and yes I agree season ticket holders should definitely get 1st choice of tickets.

Also, Would they be taking +40k if the ticket pricing was the same as what ours will be?

I'd say at this stage very limited down any normal route.
There are iro 37.000 tickets for the semi final & not much more than 30,000 for the final if we get there. There are 27,000 ST holders and a lot of members who went to all 3 whatever order they do it in.
That said, there will be people in those categories who might not go to Wembley, especially for the semi final, as it's an expensive business to do twice. In addition, there are also some ST holders who manage to get to Villa Park because they have a very clear routine and place to sit, but are not well or able enough to go to Wembley. (My MIL would have probably been one of these if PNE had made it)

We get 40k+ every home game…hardly a novel experience for us is it :-)

I suppose the devil will be in the detail but pretty much every ST holder I know has been to 2 out of the 3 home FA Cup games. So if they stagger it as 3 then 2 then 1 etc that wouldn’t be as bad however the Preston criteria was all or nothing.

You have to be pretty shit to qualify to play in that Tinpot Cup

Didn’t they go on general sale and the Morlocks could buy 6 (six) Tickets. Each ticket  costing the price of a pizza.  Fecking Nimrods

We'll be taking 40,000 to Villa Park. Every single game of the season.

[Flamingo Lane]

Hopefully we will be allocated the opposite half of the stadium to that which they'll contaminate.

[claret+blue ed]

I don't think any ST's need to worry about tickets for the semi-final, everyone will get one, it's just about the order of when you can purchase, they usually do it by where you sit at VP

As for members, there should be some left, but not loads as the players and staff will take some of the allocation, I suspect they might fetch into the criteria of attendance to the previous cup rounds, but probably on how many home games have been attended this season

I think they probably knew that the Preston game wouldn't get to members, even though it was listed as a criteria, which has probably caused part of the ticket hysteria, at the end of the day, the tickets went to right people

Good luck at Wembley from this Fulham fan, hope to you beat palace who ruined my hope of a 50th anniversary visit to Wembley, palace were good Saturday but we were shite, they’re a good young side and Eze is excellent, but I’m sure Emery will have a plan

[cdbearsfan]

Thanks Franky. We still appreciate your efforts in in the 1975 semi-final, don't worry  🙂

[lovejoy]

Do we know when they will fix the dates and timings of the semis?
