FA CUP Ticket information-SOLD OUT 17:40

Re: FA CUP Ticket information

I don't think the cup scheme has anything to do with sell out crowds at the earlier rounds. surely it was down to the club reducing ticket prices ?

They reduced the prices in 2011 and for the Reading quarter final there were 39K there, and for Notts County and the Leicester games 27K there so don't tell me it's nothing to do with the cup scheme.

I'm not 'telling' you anything it's just my opinion ! were the adult tickets for the games in 2011 reduced to £5 like they were for the Watford game ? also, didnt the cup scheme also exist in 2011 ? maybe it didnt but if it did it didn't have much effect then either !

The Watford game wasn't £5 this season for adult tickets. It was £15 and £20 depending on where you were sat.

And yes the cup scheme was in 2011 but it was new and when people realised they would have priority for the final, not something we previously had to concern ourselves with since 1981, more have since joined hence the increase in attendances this season.

No body knew the selling criteria for a cup final in 2011. We all do now.

Re: FA CUP Ticket information

Some of the cheaper tkts should have been held back for the non cup scheme season tkt holders instead of letting them all go to cup schemers, got thru early this mornin only to b told only £115 tkts left, something just doesn't seem rite here

How can you hold them back ? Everyone has a right to choose where they sit and others who were ahead in the queue decided to buy 'cheaper' tickets. Nothing wrong with that.

Seeing as the cup schemes r such a roaring success lets see how everyone feels when it's compulsory like it is at the swamp

Re: FA CUP Ticket information

You join the cup scheme to get PRIORITY on cup tickets so why should any cheap one have been held back?

I get where your coming from but it doesn't seem right to me that someone who's only bought a season ticket this season but chooses to be on the cup scheme gets priority over another person who's had a season ticket for 30 years who has chosen not to join the cup scheme because they prefer to be in control of their own finances rather than having MCFC debit their account on an inconvenient date .

Edited it for you

Edited it correctly for you. I still went to all the games but I bought them as and when I could afford it.<br /><br />-- Fri May 03, 2013 3:05 pm --<br /><br />

Didn't those pigs stop that in the end?

They will never have to make it compulsary. They have gave us the option and people with any sense have joined to get priorty for cup finals. Now all the thick twats who are moaning will also join.

Re: FA CUP Ticket information

I see the restricted view seats are now on sale, so not long to go before the "SOLD OUT" signs are put up.

How restricted are they?

you stand on the wall outside the green man.
