FA CUP Ticket information

[trotsky]

I can get my ticket today but I've got to wait for my dad's points to reach ticket purchase level, which will be Saturday. Can't see it being an issue, there's less people on the cup scheme than the amount of tickets we've been given so there will be plenty left then still.

Wrong. I have it on good authority that of the 25,000 tickets , 10,000 have gone to corporate, staff and supporters branches. Obviously some branch members would have been eligible for tickets anyway, but they will not go as far as some on here expect.
There's a good reason City do not publish numbers on each band. Mind you, it has always this way and I'm sure most (as I always have) will find a way.

Here we go, the mass hysteria starts after posts like this.

Good authority my arse. 10000 will not go to corporate. This is a wum if ever there was one. Total bollocks.

For one we have over 26000 tickets and two, that is not how City conduct stuff and never have.

Only one block was unavailable yesterday to buy tickets. That will be SC, are you saying that block holds 10000.

Forget it.

I was going to wait until Monday so I could get three together as my Nephew points don't kick in until then. Now wondering whether to get two and one of us sit on our own, if I can still get another on Monday.

Utter bollocks.....do you really think City would start a cup scheme with the promise of anyone signing up would get 1st shout at cup final tickets, to only then go back on that promise....yeah right......supporters clubs have had there allocations cut back that I know for sure....anyone in the cup scheme will get a chance to buy a ticket

Correct, was speaking to the secretary of one of the larger supporters clubs this week, they have been given about two thirds the amount of tickets they got for the semi final.

A club I know asked for 19 and got 15.

They given the £85 tickets also.

I guess a lot of the supporters club members will also be season ticket holders. Just wondered if the supporters club members are then also able to apply on their own for tickets or does the club take details of who gets these tickets so that they can't then apply separately ? It would be outragous if they could also then apply for another ticket.

137 row 12 sorted in seconds. The internet is a wonderful thing.

I almost miss the 4 hour queue x 2 from 2011, only almost mind.

You can't. My ticket is through my branch with my supporter number. I can't get another ticket as it shows on my purchase history.

Grrrr phoned at 8.50 was 33 in the queue got to 9am and was 16 in the queue when phone bloody cut off now back on phone but not getting message of where I am in the queue. But suppose it beats getting up at the crack of dawn and queuing at the ground like the other year, specially when the tickets aren't even for me.
