FA Cup Final 2024 | Manchester Derby | Sat 25 May 3:00pm

It won't be more tickets taken away "from people over here" as the OSC will still only receive 20%. If you are not in the OSC you won't be worse off with trying to get a ticket.

At the moment it’s only 20%, but the more overseas ones the less the ones in the uk will get, unless the bump it up to 25%

I can't see it going up. As Kevin said, it's always been 20%. If anything their allocation would probably go down

Yes mate. Glad somebody else has a foot in both camps and can think about things more rationally.

Put it this way my mates cousin who has been going years was waiting on a ticket and by the sounds of it he didn't get one. There was more chance of him getting a ticket by sacrificing his season ticket, joining a supporters club, not going all year and requesting a ticket for the final. How does that make any sense whatsoever?

The bloke that sat next to me at Istanbul said the people behind him had got their tickets through a foreign supporters club and had never been to the Etihad. If it's the ones that I'm thinking of they left shortly after Rodri's goal and didn't even stay till full-time either.

All very bizarre.

A guy I was stood next to in Instanbul hadn't been to a game all season but his mate was high up in one of the supporters clubs and had got him a ticket. He even said he was thinking of joining that club next season (wasn't a member) but might not bother if he can get tickets easily for the finals anyway!!

I get the need to some how give overseas fans an opportunity for certan games. However, I don't get the large allocations being given to local supporters clubs as to me they should apply through the points system like everyone else.

Not sure how he’s managed a ticket without a membership number to be honest but if you want to go enough people tend to find a way. There is a sure fire way of getting a ticket for the finals though join the cup scheme, that’s what the club wants, if the OSC who do a lot to promote the club and travel lose their allocation do you think they will go to season card holders or to tourists who do the cup games.

OSC Branches don't actually get that many tickets allocated to them though, they use branch members ST's to buy tickets.

For example, Branch A might apply for 35 Spurs away tickets but are only allocated 8 through the OSC. They then use members ST's to buy the additional ones required, as and when they qualify to buy through the loyalty point system

What worked against me was the long bank holiday wait between the previous points category and mine. It gave everyone before me the opportunity to maximise their ticket uptakes. Had to fork out for middle tiers.

Andy Madley is ref for the final

That should level things up a bit.

Ten Hag will have a run of wins soon. That'll make us squeaky bums on seats against the bucket hats. Derby Days are nervy, and sadly the misfits can beat us in their absolute best day. Would be worse than a defeat versus Wigan. Can't take this Final lightly.
