I know this is a needy kind of post but anybody have any idea when the info will be up on the Tickets section of the OS?
Nothing there yet.
Have some people already received e-mails? I would have no reason to get one, since I'm not on the cup scheme, and only have about 3000 or so points.
Two years ago, to my utter amazement, a handful of seats for the rag final (the first one, the important one) came up on the OS literally about three or four days before. There was one seat up in the gods. I stared at the computer screen for about five minutes, hummed and hawed in my mind. My finances really, truly didn't make it advisable. I was already fairly overdrawn for the month. After about five minutes, I cracked. I thought, “Fuck it, I may never again in my life get the chance to see us beat the rags at Wembley, and furthermore in a way that will really hurt them — second stage on the road to the European treble”. It's only paper and iron, isn't it? Exchanging that for Gundo's goal — well, there's no argument really.
Would really like to get to this one. Got a good friend to put me up as well. I very well know that I'll be the last possible priority, short of it going on open sale (which it won't). I think two years ago many people had to make hard choices between Istanbul and Wembley.

I suspect that they won’t publish ticket info until the kickoff time is confirmed.
No reason at all why it can’t be done before that with the condition that timings aren’t confirmed yet but it doesn’t seem to work like that.

If ST numbers have been dropping on an annual basis at the rate people on here seem to think they have, I imagine pretty much any ST will be fine.

Just those on low points and no cup scheme might be only left with the £250 ones.
 
Looks like tickets on sale from Friday. Prices seem to have risen since last year?IMG_1677.jpeg

In fairness to them they've been going for 20 years. My brother used to live near their stadium back then and I remember going along to a Championship match and being sat near them.

That banner in 2014 was direspectful to City so they can fuck right off.

Got stats for away support early 2000s, were printed in the City programme. Palace brought less than 500 to City in August, we took over 5000 to Palace in the middle of winter.

Good Palace fans I know(was there 1990)but these Ultras are a bunch of wankers, imo.

Why is it taking so long to confirm the KO time ? It’s beyond ridiculous!

Another example of treating the actual match-going fans like trash. People have got to book hotels, book train and coach tickets, for God's sake. Not the Palace fans, of course. It's really not that far away now. Just over two weeks.
This is probably something to do with negotiating with the satellite tv companies.

How the fuck can they justify charging £135 MORE (level 2) for the final than the semi final? The expense of putting it on can be no more (actually it’ll be less as not a Sunday), so it’s just the FA profiteering, yet again. It was a 20% mark up on last season’s semi final and it’s over 10% on the final (which was double the semi final last year).

I’ll await the ‘journalists who only care about the fans’ running a big expose on this…….
 
Apologies if a stupid question, but why has there been any sort of wait for a kick off time to be announced? Why does it matter who made the final, we know it’s Saturday 17th, we know there’s no other English football that day, the BBC knew it was Eurovision etc etc.

What’s the fucking problem?

Pure incompetence is the reason why , as you say all this nonsense about Eurovision was known months ago plus the bbc has several channels so there really shouldn’t be an issue at all .

@More in Hooe did I read some time a few years ago that the Palace Ultras was started by a few "new" fans who were Polish emigrees and adopted Palace as their club when they moved to the UK?
They occupied the Holmesdale corner as that was basically empty if my memory isn't playing tricks

It’s not really been established who or when started them, although it is said that one of the “founders” was a Pole. There is mixed feelings about them at Palace, they certainly have helped improve the atmosphere and were at the forefront of it at Wembley, they also arranged the Tifo. However, some act like dickheads, in particular at away games, sitting where they want etc. A few seasons ago, they wanted to move from the corner of Holmesdale to the centre, this involved Mr Parish moving long term season ticket holders from their seats, was not a popular move. They also do a lot from local charities so not all bad. There will be a massive display on 17th, I have no idea what but they are all fan funded, no money from club. Some of the players have contributed. I believe the total is nearing £30k

Purely because there are at least four different, self-interested parties involved in making the decision.
