I got my ticket today as I have 4000 points plus I knew I would get one - I had a season ticket at Maine Road from 1973 through to 1996 when I had to give it up due to going to University as a mature student and I went on the waiting list in 2000 and eventually got my season ticket back in 2003 when we moved to Eastlands.
My point is
in 74 I could not go to the final due to not having enough tokens but I didn't expect to go even though I had a season ticket.
It seems fans who have a season ticket with less than 2,000 points still seem to think that they have a divine right to get a ticket for the semi (they will probably get one anyway) but to have less than 2500 they a - either have only had a season card for a couple of years or b - maybe 5 years and never go to cup games, I think due to the fact we've not had any success in the last 30 years certain fans have lost perspective on how hard it can be to get tickets for 'big games' (anyone who queued in 99 for many many hours are obviously excused). Before the season starts fans must realise they are going to struggle to get tickets if they have less than 2,000 points. I hate to think what the forum will be like if we make it to the final and only get 20,000 tickets!
