Ticket Chat - FA Cup Semi Final

Don't be silly, he's dead.

Geoff Hurst does most of the serving nowadays and Gordon Banks runs the bar.

 

It was City. Looks like they're running a few minutes late, but it should be released any time now.

 

Ticket details for our FA Cup with Budweiser Semi-Final against Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 13th April (KO 4pm) have now been confirmed.

We have received an allocation of 32,011 tickets for the Eastern side of the ground and our 18,000 Season Card holders will be given first priority on buying tickets.

Our allocation of tickets means that, unfortunately, it isn’t practical for us to offer all Season Card holders the opportunity to apply for two tickets each.

However, we will be offering all current adult and senior Season Card holders who have held a Season Card for at least the last two seasons (2012/13 & 2013/14) the opportunity to apply for one additional match ticket.

This will ensure that all of our Season Card holders are guaranteed a ticket if they apply during the priority period outlined further below, whilst also ensuring that a number of tickets will eventually be available for general sale to supporters on the Club’s ticketing database.

SEAT ALLOCATION

Our allocation of tickets is split into three price bands. Ticket prices have been set as follows:

Adults: £30/£40/£50
Concessions: £20/£30/£40
Concessions are defined as Seniors 65+ and Under 23s
(Please note that a booking fee of 50p per ticket applies to supporters paying by credit or debit card)

PRE-APPLICATION FORM (Available from 5pm Saturday)

Although tickets won’t be on sale from the KC Stadium Ticket Office until Tuesday 25th March, WE’RE GIVING SEASON CARD HOLDERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET AHEAD OF THE GAME AND AVOID THE INEVITABLE LONG, LONG QUEUES BY OFFERING A PRE-APPLICATION FORM, WHICH EFFECTIVELY MEANS YOU CAN GUARANTEE YOUR TICKETS FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.

Simply download the form from our website when it becomes available at 5pm on Saturday, fill it in ensuring that all of the information that we require is included and email it back to us at [email protected] (or hand it in at the Ticket Office in person) by Saturday 22nd March. For Season Card holders without access to email/printers etc, forms will also be available to pick up from our Tiger Leisure store at Princes Quay on Sunday (open 10.30am-4.30pm) and our Tiger Leisure store at the KC Stadium from Monday.

Once we receive your form, we will send you an email confirming that we have received it and also letting you know when your application will be processed. You will then receive a follow-up email from us once your application has been processed and tickets allocated.

Season Card holders using our pre-application form can also choose whether to collect their tickets from the KC Stadium at a time/date to be confirmed, or have them posted out. Should you request for your tickets to be posted out, the terms and conditions stipulated by The Football Association require them to be sent out by Special Delivery, for which there will be an extra charge of £5.90 per transaction.

Groups of Season Card holders wishing to sit together are still able to do so through our pre-application form – simply include the extra Season Card details on the relevant section of the form. Should there not be enough space to include all applicants in your group on one form, please fill in as many forms as necessary and ensure that these are all returned to us together in one email/bundle. (Please note that the lead applicant will be responsible for all tickets within your group)

Once the deadline to return your Pre-Application Form has passed, Ticket Office staff will then ensure enough tickets are put to one side to cover all of the applications received before tickets are made available in person. However, please note that you may not receive your confirmation email until a few days later, when forms and payment are processed.

Although we can guarantee tickets for every Season Card holder that applies, we cannot necessarily guarantee a seat in your chosen price category. Please mark price bands in order of preference as instructed on the form.

WHEELCHAIR SPACES

All of our Season Card holders who hold wheelchair spaces at the KC Stadium will be contacted by the Club by telephone next week to confirm ticket arrangements.

TICKET SALES TO SEASON CARD HOLDERS IN PERSON FROM THE KC STADIUM TICKET OFFICE

For Season Card holders not using our pre-application form, tickets will go on sale in person only from the KC Stadium Ticket Office as follows:

Tuesday 25th – Wednesday 26th March – Tickets on sale to South Stand Season Card holders only.
Ticket Office open: 9am-7pm (Tuesday), 9am-5pm (Wednesday).

Thursday 27th March – Saturday 29th March – Tickets on sale to East Stand Season Card holders only.
Ticket Office open: 9am-7pm (Thursday), 9am-4pm (Friday), 9am-3pm (Saturday).

Sunday 30th March – Tuesday 1st April – Tickets on sale to West Stand Upper & Lower Season Card holders only.
Ticket Office open: 9am-5pm (Sunday, Monday & Tuesday).

We will be splitting each ticket price band into three to ensure that all Season Card holders have a fair opportunity to apply for tickets in the price band that they would like. The split will be proportionate to the percentage of Season Card holders in each area of the KC Stadium.

For example, if we have an allocation of 12,000 tickets for areas within price band A, 35% of those seats would be available to supporters who have Season Cards in the West Stand, 35% to supporters who have Season Cards in the East Stand and 30% to supporters who have Season Cards in the South Stand.

Although the above sales structure has been designed to reduce queuing time, we do still anticipate long queues at the Ticket Office and therefore strongly advise Season Card holders to use our pre-application form.

We ask that Season Card holders buying in person bring their Season Card(s) with them, and those entitled to two tickets per Season Card bring both this season’s and last season’s Season Cards to help quicken up the process at the ticket window. (Please note that tickets will be distributed in the lead applicant’s name).

Please note that there will be no preferential treatment in terms of seat allocation to those queuing in person.

GENERAL SALE

Remaining tickets will be placed on general sale in person only from the KC Stadium Ticket Office to supporters currently on our ticketing database on Thursday 3rd April. Keep an eye out for further details once the Season Card priority period has ended.

TIGER TRAVEL

Tiger Travel will be running transport to this game with a large fleet of coaches already ordered in.

Coaches will depart from the KC Stadium Bowl & South Car Park at 8am on the day of the game with seats priced £31 each.

Please note that, unfortunately, due to the volume of supporters expected, and owing to Walton Street Market taking place on the same day, we are unable to offer on-site car parking to supporters using Tiger Travel. There will be no vehicular access to the KC Stadium on the day, however there will be a drop-off point (but no parking) at the Sports Arena on Walton Street. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please note that The Football Association & Wembley Stadium do not control, operate, nor fix the prices in relation to the on-site parking facility.

Supporters can visit www.gotocsp.com/bookings to book spaces directly with the car park operator.

Parking is charged at the following rates:

£65 Coach & Mini-bus
£30 Cars
£15 Blue badge holders (minimum of 250 spaces, can be increased if demand is high)

I'll double check the situation for out of towners.

I am a bit surprised that there's no provision for those who went to the previous FA Cup games.
