FA Youth Cup Final - Chelsea v City - 27/4 7.45pm (ITV4) / tickets (merged)

[Time will pass me by]

Yes I could collect from them but can't get there in time. I'll just pretend I'm one of them and reserve on the phone just didn't want to end sat amongst them.

Are they insisting on past purchase history then?

Don't think so but didn't get that far.

If anybody has a spare, or can get one, I would happily buy you a pint (around Chelsea) before the game and obviously pay for the ticket.

Just been told tickets are collection from City in person only. Chelsea will not sell on the day. No good for us London base supporters it is almost as if Chelsea don't want us there.

To be fair, City seem to delight in making it as difficult as possible for City fans to attend our own matches so we can hardly point the finger when Chelsea don't make it easy for us.

I just got a couple from Chelsea. Picking up before the game. Worth giving them a bell. If they refuse you let me know and I'll see if I can get one for you.

I'd imagine the FA, leagues that either side are involved in, other academy commitments (UEFA Youth League Final as won by Chelsea on 18th April, the semi was 3 days before), international commitments, TV coverage, ground availability and a billion factors sit in before fans...

and of course the TV will pan around to the away end and say ''poor away support for a final.... empty seats....''
What other business would knowingly turn away potential paying customers?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Got my ticket for tonight. Any Blues going in a particular pub near Stamford Bridge?

If you're local and thinking of turning up without a ticket, think again.

Checked Chelsea website, tickets available until 4pm by personal callers only, so phoned them, and asked if there was a pay on the gate option, and no there isn't. When I said I was a City supporter, I was told that Chelsea had given City an allocation of tickets, so to contact City. I've been in touch with City, who said that there was a possibility that they could send me tickets down on the coach, and would get back to me.
