FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

Has any one had issues adding under 25s tickets? I qualified earlier tried to add an under 25s ticket with mine for someone who is on my friends and family just keeps saying not eligible. Never had a problem doing it before

I said earlier in this thread that I don’t think those numbers in the queue figures are accurate. Probably half that at most I reckon

People with PC, laptop and mobile logged in, in case one or two crash.

It seems a bit pointless having the initial points set so low rather than staggering even by a couple of hours. Multiply several thousand watching the time count down and that's a lot of wasted time.

Last 3 hours another 2,497 sold

32.2% have sold of the 16,200 on sale circa 9.25am by 3.25pm

Top tier sold 26.7%
Middle 9.9%
Lower 40.0%

The sale rate dropped 8% last 3 hrs compared to the previous, if that carried on the same rate (just 8% less each time) then:

Monday after 9am 8,670 left
After 12pm 6,556
After 3pm 4,612

Tuesday after 9am 2,823
After 12pm 1,177
After 3pm Gone

Obviously it could drop off a lot quicker and go further. Will know better on Monday morning.

Never even knew they'd gone on sale.

City email me and SMS for every away game they know I'll never qualify for (not enough points for most), yet for the FA Cup final they send nothing at all.

Been working today so wasn't able to check until now.

Annoying but anyway all sorted now.

The club expect demand to exceed supply…
So despite the difficulties getting there, the cost and the likelihood of trouble, it seems like it will be sold out easily.

That's just supporters club allocations.

Having clubs together maybe makes for better atmosphere. The Barnstoneworth branch will be out in force.
 
Luckily it was a swift process - eligible at 3pm, had our tickets booked by 3.15 and thankfully got £45 ones. Good luck to all the Blues waiting for their window to buy.

You could always join your local supporters club… and like one poster on here said, nobody gets this angry when supporters clubs get their allocation for a game like Southampton away… can’t change the rules now for a final. If the supporters club have been running things fine with the usuals and gaining new young fans in the process then happy days.

The above poster said that only 60% of the 30,500 go to the points system anyway.

Thanks for the advice chairman, however, not required. You know full well the point I’m making. It has happened for donkeys years, brushed under the carpet. Then we have the City Matters group, pointless. Gaining new young fans, don’t make me laugh. Supporters clubs had a cardiac when the 18-25’s got all the tickets for the Brentford game. Fact is, you know and I know, season ticket holders are being sold out by supporters clubs, by letting non season ticket holders apply for a ticket before season ticket holders.

Supporters clubs are a bit of a piss take. It's just a way for people to get prioritised for tickets, who shouldn't be able to get them over other people with more points.

I agree, if my experience is anything to go by then supporters clubs are not interested in gaining new supporters, this is the response I got when I requested to join last year.

I’ll get a FA Cup final ticket, I’ll have enough points to get one, just feel for any blue that just misses out who’s got a decent amount of points and are season ticket holders. If we get past Madrid on Wednesday and the supporters clubs get a percentage of the allocated tickets and I just miss out then it’s a piss take. I’ve been on the cup scheme for years just to better my chances of a ticket for the final.
 
tickets in the bag for 7 of us all in the cup scheme and F&F, was easy as pie to buy and already downloaded to everyone wallets.

now we just need to sort getting there ;-)

Do F&F need to meet the same qualifying criteria?

yes we had to wait till 3pm for 4 of the tickets to be available as their points were between 10-12 thousand, the other 3 had enough points to get them first thing or at midday butnwe wanted to get together, each friend listed had to allocate a ticket to their supporter number and they have been sent to their registered addresses
