Ticket Chat - FA Cup Semi Final

Edit - Somebody claiming on another thread to have spoken to somebody at the ticket office and they're saying 2 per pass.

 

Anybody queued up in previous years for these sorts of things?

What sort of time do people start to wait?

 

Queue for season passes started about 5pm on the Sunday before 9am Monday opening!

 

That's not too bad. I'll go see my boss tomorrow about being allowed a morning off. I probably wouldn't go at 5pm but probably midnight maybe.

 

The smarter people had a good nights sleep at home and went online at 9am to buy them, much easier!

 

Fingers crossed the new website works then.

 

As I mentioned earlier on the other semi final ticket thread, I was told by a young lady in the ticket office today that they wouldn't be selling any semi-final tickets on-line......don't shoot the messenger!

 

Given your mix up with the rugby tickets, I guess you slept out and queued then?

 

If you can order online and it's only one per pass. How do you order tickets so you're sat next to your mates? I take it they'll be a option to put to put two customer references in?

 

A post a few above yours suggests a lady from the ticket office said no online sales for priority at least as they probably need to be able to prove who meets the criteria they put in place.

 

but you have a 'reservation' if you have a season pass which they have stored electronically similar to how they did the Sunderland priority

 

True.

There could always be some other reason for no online says (if that deems to be true).

FA Cup Semi-Final - Update

We can confirm that we have an allocation of 31,987 tickets for our FA Cup Semi-Final match at Wembley. We have discussed the idea of offering two tickets per adult pass holder, and one ticket per concessionary pass holder.

However, this will not be confirmed until we learn the breakdown of these tickets, along with the pricing structure, at a meeting with the FA tomorrow.

We hope to release all ticketing information on Friday afternoon, which will advise season card holders of when they can purchase their tickets.

 

Then they're ******ed.

 

Well i'm pissed off if that's true.

 

How are concessions defined - anyone not paying full price ?

So someone 64 possibly gets 2 but someone 65 only 1 ?

Cant' see that being fair.

 

Maybe not - but equally is it fair that the 64-year-old has to pay £185 more than the 65-year-old for the season ticket in the first place?

There is always going to be some inequality.

 

Yes valid point.

I think the fairest way is 1 per season ticket holder - give them a week to buy it and then what's left all on general sale after that.

 

I hope it's not two you get every man and his dog buying them for anybody and taking the better seats
