FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

Manc_Gullit said:
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!

Just go with it. Maybe dont turn up as the first one to get in, just incase you find a jobsworth steward with nothing to do

If you go when a fair few others are entering, they dont stop you to check on a ticket type

Doesn’t matter how much of a jobsworth they are. There is nothing on the screen or the barcode to indicate it’s a concession. Probably why they hardly bother with discounts.

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.

6000 tickets go to supporters clubs instead of going to season ticket holders. Fair enough if they get a few thousand, but 6000 is a joke. If we beat Madrid on Wednesday and the same happens for Istanbul, something has to change as it isn’t right that blues who go every week miss out to someone who goes once a season.

Im aware. I thought the ticket had a concession/oap printed on it previously (maybe i have that wrong). i went in very early one year as gates opened (had kids with us, they wanted to get in asap) and they checked ticket and a quick frisk as no one else was around. Not worth the risk of not getting in, Just delay until theres a few about. Better safe than sorry!!

I reckon you’ll still be behind 5,900 of those Blues on loyalty points

There was a difference for the semi finals. Before then I can only remember all tickets being the same
 
Just wondering what people think the odds are of this going to Wednesday 3pm (ST, 0-4000 points) and if so approx how many? Appreciate that this afternoon's good results won't have helped my personal cause!

Given the club have announced that in the sales criteria I would assume it will get to that point, they are very good at estimating when games will sell out. Not a clue how many will remain though.

Were they paper tickets mate?

Only asking because I went into my expired passes on my phone on Friday because I was buying a junior for someone who was flapping and none of my semi final tickets had any mention of either price or age band.
