The FA Cup (Other football)

[martyn ellis]

Has anyone managed to contact the ticket sales people to get an idea of how likely ST holders with no cup games are likely to get a ticket tomorrow (or are there any 'in-the-knows' on here who may have an idea?). I'm a lifetime ST holder and am travelling back from tonight's match tomorrow morning so won't really be able to log in until midday. Will they all be gone by then? If so, I will be mightily pissed off.

Can't you get someone to log in for you? I'd want to be ready the second they go on sale if I were you.

Quick look through all the seating sections, lower tier looks like it has sold out but upper tier blocks (Block 500's) have around 5000 still available?

I’d say you need to find a way to log on at 9. Even if it’s asking someone else to do it. If you aren’t in anyone else’s friends group I’d happily stick you in mine so I can try & get you one.

Thanks Malcolm and CDbears. All I get when I go on the site is a greyed out 'Coming Soon', so I can't see what the availability is like. I'm assuming it's greyed out because of my purchase status, which starts tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

[martyn ellis]

Thanks for the offer, Amfy. I'll bear it in mind and get back to you with my details if I can't do it myself or my wife may be able to do it.
Much appreciated in any event.

Correct.  I suspect most ST holders will get a seat, there won't have been a huge amount of members with all 3 games.

It's definitely a situation where I'd defer the travel or make I had sure internet access to snag a ticket.

Thanks everyone in the Villa family for making your suggestions. My wife is primed and she's the digital whizz kid in my family! I'll post my result on here! Enjoy tonight if you're going.

I manage and pay for 3 season tickets and 3 memberships. Until recently I was logging on, choosing their seats then reassgning them when they became eligible. Now though, if I have already bought, it won't let me on again and I have to sign in on the gmail accounts that I have set up for them all. It only works if we are eligible at the same time.  If you already have your ticket Amfy it may be an idea to try and check.

Fingers crossed. Remember the website is a pain in the arse for logging you back out, so if it still says "Coming Soon" after 9am, she probably needs to log in again.

I think you’re right, a couple of people I know were buying this morning and they both got a couple of tickets without any queuing.

I’ve already done this. I can still log in and re-assign to the third ST holder, it just gives the same message that the number of tickets selected exceeds entitlement, but with the change to the other ST holder’s name. On this basis, I’m confident ai can log on tomorrow & re-assign. The actual holder is also logging on too - were just going to see who gets the best place in the queue, then hold on til they’ve secured it in case anything goes wrong at the point of sale.

Right, we don't need to worry about a CL SF a few days after our FA SF so we don't need to worry about energy conservation. Get into them......

[amfy]

Ridiculously pain free getting our third ticket this morning! Somehow managed to log straight in and buy one at 9am!
