FA Cup Final | Crystal Palace (N) | Sat 17 May 4:30pm

[M18CTID]

Palace seemed to have turned a bit of a corner recently, looking much closer to their best. This is going to be a really tough game.

Palace's form is irrelevant to us IMO because they pretty much always give us a game anyway. They should never be underestimated

What’s the likelihood tickets reach normal members

If you'[ve got a Matchday membership you should have a chance but it might only be the most expensive seats. Make sure you keep an eye on sales announcements and be ready to log in as soon as they go on sale. If/when that happens there will be thousands logging on all at once and ther might only be a few left.

It's not difficult at all Marv. Uptake amongst season ticket holders for the final will be far higher than it was for the semi.

But probably lower than for previous Cup Finals. I don't know what the rates are but I believe that the participation rate of seasoncard holders in the FA Cup and Champions League is declining.

Well it stands to reason that a final against United would see higher demand than a final against Palace

Eyes down fellow seat counters

Only 84 in the queue ahead of me!

702, clearly not fast enough :)

Anyone know if the supporters club have received the emails on which blocks are allocated to them? I qualify today but have got them via a supporters club instead to sit with my son.
I was hoping the chair of supporters clubs have received the email so I know which seats are allocated so I can get my mates tickets nearby.

Roll on 13.00!!!!!

 

[M18CTID]

I was one of the first in. This was the count at 10.01 without me refreshing the planner so guessing hardly any had been sold at this point:

Level 5 - 9633
Level 2 - 1758
Level 1 - 5522

Total - 16,913 so far less than the near 20,000 I was expecting to be available for sale

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Only 17K available? Is that normal?

Think it was a similar number for the first final against United in 2023. Can't remember what it was last year but I expected more to be available for this one

No info from OSCs about tickets yet. They said will be put on sale quicker this time so I'm hoping sometime this week

 

[Whether or not]

Just bought two, but have been charged the same price per ticket as for the semi, £50 as opposed to the £75 I was expecting.

Similar numbers to me, think I was a minute or so after you and got 16,753

Last year there were 13,500 on sale at 10am, so way more this year

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Our group has decided that if we can't get the cheapest tickets they can fuck off.

Prices and kick off times are in insult. The latest nail in the coffin of football for me.

I'm lucky that I can afford it but the principle of it is an absolute piss take. None of these cunts at the FA, Premier League and the 'City Football Group' give the slightest toss about proper fans.

This time next year I fully anticipate that I'll have had it with City and top level football and I'll be watching Maine Road FC instead.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

No £50 tickets left seconds after 10.00am on the lower tier, how the fuck does that work?

 

[mike1923]

Fucks sake wasn’t paying attention and got tickets on the top tier. Least they were the cheap ones

Wow - didn't realise it was that low!
