FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

[Blue Maverick]

Anyone got a picture and prices for the seats please?

Just got mine, block 136 Cat 3. A lot of the Cat 3s are being swept up in third tier and the lower part of the first tier.

FYI, Cat 2 in the first tier starts in row 16 if I remember rightly

I would recommend those that are waiting for a later window to log onto to the queue before it opens. I logged on at 08:40 and when it opened I was 628 in the queue. Those that logged on at 09:00 were around 7000 in the queue. I believe you can try 30 mins before your ticket window.

I logged on a few minutes ago and was 9600 in the queue. It took about 4/5 minutes to get to the front of the queue. I think that’s pretty efficient

 

[Bowser]

So over 13000 all ready gone when it went to pionts, so this will sell out to cup scheme season tickets what a joke

That's why i was always in a osc to help out, i hear they've mostly got all tickets that were requested from the ones i know of but only Cat 2 and above available to them.

 

[Corky]

As of about 0923 there were 16k left, evenly split between tier 3(5) and 1 with 800 on tier 2.

Many Cat 1's about for those already logged in?

Hundreds of Cat 1s left. There's tons of the £45 tickets remaining too. I think most people loggingin in this morning have bought level 1 (safe standing and Cat 3s).

Re. junior pull through. I'm chasing it up with the club.

Mine said over an hour at 09.00, actually got in at 09.11. They must have the Bank of England doing the forecasting.

I got in at 9.24, joined the queue at 8.45. Then had some issues with the seat options not displaying properly and was too afraid of it sticking me to the back of another long queue to refresh so had to stick with best available option rather than pick what I actually wanted.

Not a total disaster but very clear they started the selling criteria far too low. You wouldn't get a ticket for an away game where we had 7k tickets with 17500 points

 

[Besteamintheland]

Yeah no junior pull through. What's all that about?

That has to be a balls up ......... I am supposed to wait until my daughters has enough points but we are both on the cup scheme !

My hunch would be that the OSC tickets are in 530 and 529 (Cat 2 tickets). They're all unavailable.

I think it's likely there are some tickets held back too... Lots of blocks where every ticket has been bought - can't be coincidence.
I'd estimate around 10k gone this morning (which was always going to happen as most people on the cup scheme with high points will be going to this one).
When the criteria drops, we won't see as many fly off the shelves as quickly.

Keep us posted mate!

 

[bluesmith]

Me neither :(

Still not available, what a joke.

It's probably not quite as bad as it looks. The supporters club allocation will be part of those already sold, plus all the other factions such as players allocation, corporate, etc. Plus anyone on the cup scheme with high points was always likely to buy one. Think as the criteria drops then you won't see quite so many shifting. However, with demand so high and plenty of fans who won't be going buying tickets for mates, I think this might struggle to go below seasoncard holders with 4000 points.

How many season ticket holders are on the cup scheme though? This will sell out fast.

They will be the "Football Family" tickets that prob won't get returned for this game....

Block 134 for me. In the £70 seats / standing

Find a ST holder who isn't going. Doesn't really matter if it is a child for the £10 discount, sorry I don't know any as everyone I know wants extra tickets.
