As I say, I've been told it is CSD. Not sure about the 17k, didn't read that before when I posted.

But they are all adult tickets, my dads an oap but it said a full price £50 ticket on it and a handwritten "concession" in biro.

2000 people with less than 3000 points shouldnt be getting tickets ahead of someone with more points IMO. Makes a mockery of the points system.Millwallawayveteran1988 said:C_T_I_D said:Only got 3600 points. Doubt I will manage to get one to be honest.
You will be ok with that. We got our on the Thursday with that many 6 days in to the selling period. They sold out 10 days later. Thats got to be more than 7000 tickets.
However on the day we bought there were no cat 1 or 2 left so 16000 tickets minimum had gone by then. Assuming some people bought 30 and 40 quid tickets too then I think it's safe to assume 20000 tickets had gone by 3500 points Inc osc, cup direct and junior.
It will sell out by 2750/3000 for sure.
Danny Wilson spoke to me by phone and confirmed that only 2000 people in cup scheme had less than 3000 points.

It's legalised touting and is absolutely shameful. I was at the semi and I think I'll be one of the 7k who misses out due to the paltry allocation. I simply can't see it getting down to 2460 points or there and thereabouts.bluejean1 said:It has always been unfair the allocation of tickets for the F.A.Cup but what does really get me is that there seems to be plenty of tickets for sale - at a price - on the e-bay web-sites, there is a company on there that has loads of tickets, for both clubs, so where are they getting them from? This really should be stopped as only people with loads of money or influence gets these tickets and not the genuine fans who support week in - week out - because it's a struggle to always find the money for season tickets and cup games and way beyond most working people to pay for overpriced Wembley tickets. I'm lucky enough to have been a supporter for over 50 years and have been to Wembley so I shall be watching on the box, dressed in my City shirt of course.
Believe that you'll believe anything. Our ticket office ain't that organised!<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:56 pm --<br /><br />sniff said:SWP's back said:No SC, no opinion. ;-)

Yeah and the ticket number is logged on the computer at point of sale, they then e-mail fax etc... the details to Wembley who can send that info staright in to the computer at their end.
Or so the woman at the ticket office told me.
Anything else would be a mockery of the CSD system.
