The Cup. Still waiting.

[Nev]

Fuck that. I negotiated a pass out and avoided the Mother In Laws birthday meal and didn't get a ticket.

So now I have to leave the house at 11 and come back pissed at midnight!

Not a trial in all honesty but still.....

[RamboandBruno]

Grr i forgot to login till 10am yesterday and sold out, too busy at work to try later, ffs

[Drummond]

I thought we took 8900 tickets? And they sold them all to season ticket holders? Fuck me.

[simon ward 50]

Sold out in 22 minutes they reckon?

[AV82EC]

Sold out in 22 minutes they reckon?

Well that’s not true as I got mine at 10:15, 45 mins after they went on sale.

[Somniloquism]

I suspect the 22 mins was the first "sold out" but then some baskets emptied back a few times.

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah I got mine well after that.

[PeterWithesShin]

It also had multiple windows with different criteria. So first batch Weds, another Thurs and then Fri it sold out.

[AV82EC]

Why are some people surprised that we sold out?

[Somniloquism]

No one is surprised we sold out, it is just the speed of the sell-out being questioned.

This is it. When i realised Id forgotten to login by 9.30 on the Friday, at 9.45, i was pretty chilled, so surprised that many tickets hsd all sold out. Sounds like I missed a trick by not continuing to try through the morning, but work pressures etc.

Why are some people surprised that we sold out?

Oh it's not that, just the speed and not even going down to members. This let's remember is three times our normal away following for league and european games and the fifth trip to London in 27 days!

Our away support ever since the first championship season is just mind bogglingly incredibly strong.

Was thinking back to our penultimate prem season in the 2010s and back in that era I could comfortably get tickets as a non season ticket holder for the secondary aways in desirability in those times e.g. West Ham and Everton away so shows how much has changed in just over a decade.

[AV82EC]

I suppose so. Also last seasons fiddling with the criteria I think has made some STHs a bit wary of potentially missing away FA Cup games moving forward. That and the fact we’re fucking brilliant all helps as well.

[astonvilla82]

Have they sent out tickets out for the game,my lad waiting for his

[cdbearsfan]

I've not had anything. I assume it'll be after Palace.
