FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

For those that have tickets already, what time did you join the queue? If your window opens at 12pm for example is it best to join around 11.30/11.45 for example?

I'm reading alot of posts with animosity towards SC's and how their members (some/most who aren't ST holders) have obtained tickets for the final before ST members going through the windows on Friday. Not saying I agree/disagree but, why shouldn't a person who is say a Cityzen member who may not live locally but spends probably a hell of alot more to get to as many games as possible, not be entitled to a ticket if they are a paying member of a OSC?

I'm a ST holder on cup scheme and have my ticket but that's just my two cents worth on it.

What about the season ticket holders who spend an awful lot more money, many also not living locally, who's going to miss out on tickets to a Cup Final because a SC member has jumped the queue ahead of them?

I don't think anybody has an issue with Supporters Clubs it's that 'some' of the tickets that have got into the hands of people that haven't been actively supporting the club at games. Most of them will go to season ticket holders and people that would've qualified anyway.

Somebody mentioned in the thread an individual got 6 tickets for the final and hasn't been to a game. If that's true it's enough to grind anybody's gears. If they're getting allocated enough tickets just to fill the bus up it seems a mute point as they'd probably fill the bus regardless with all the train strikes.

Do you think it will open for citizens with a match history or only citizens ???

False dichotomy - no- unless the are more added (400-800 seem to have been to the lower tier so far) or significant numbers in the lower points brackets have already sourced tickets via SCs, 18-25 or other means.

Some clearly do looking back on the comments. I agree if people in SC's that have barely attended a game all season and snatched up a ticket at the expense of a ST holder who has been to virtually all games, that is wrong and needs looking at.

I get what you're saying and agree with it. I don't agree with those in SC's who have been to little or no games and have jumped on and got one because it's a final vs Utd knowing they could get one through their OSC. I'm referencing those who are Cityzens members who do go to the majority of home games and pay anything between £50-£70 a ticket per game, which would average out at costing more than some ST's. That's before cost of travel etc is factored in.

Supporters clubs are like everything else in life.
Some are well run and some are not.
The system that City used gave the chance to for the not well run to rip the pish and it looks like they have taken advantage.
City should have had a better checking system so if the stories are true not all members got a ticket.
Not saying they should have refused all but it looks like quite a few have been allowed to slip through the net.
The dealings I have had with the members on here have all been positive and fair.At no time have I thought they were anything but good and fair in their convener roles.
As long as City have a system in place that let's the not so we'll run clubs take advantage this is sadly going to happen every cup final at Wembley.

Wondering if anyone can help, please.

I've been offered an Over 65 ticket for the final to sit with my mate - his Dad can't make it.

Is there a facility to upgrade this to an adult ticket, by any chance, as is the case with the league games?

Not sure I fancy getting to Wembley and running the risk of being turned away.

If this isn't possible, I'll hang fire until next week when I qualify via my season ticket.

Thanks!

You won’t be turned away. They don’t check and there is no light system to indicate what ticket is activated.
