10% is not the criteria for away fans in the PL.We give away fans 3,000 or 5% of capacity. If you average gate is 24,000 and you give away fans 2,500 tickets that makes means the average home support is approx. 21,500.You getting 25,000 tickets for the final seems like a good deal to me being 20,000 of our season tickets holders wont be able to get tickets for the final.
According to the website: Platinum and Gold members who have attended three or more away fixtures registered to their current 2013/14 membership, will be guaranteed a ticket as long as they purchase in their priority period. This will be based on the past two consecutive seasons from August 13, 2011 – April 6, 2014. Does this mean 3 away points from this season? Or 3 away points in total from 2011-2014.
Well which one is it? I don't get it, I only have 1 away point in total for this season, but 10 overall since I got my ST from the 2012 season.
Reads to me that you'll be ok. Otherwise "This will be based on the past two consecutive seasons from August 13, 2011 – April 6, 2014." means absolutely nothing, surely?
Yes siry, but when they say on the current registered 2013-2014 membership it makes it sound like 3 away points on this season.
The tickets should be a striaght 50 / 50 split regardless who is in the final imo. It is irrelevant how big or small your average attendance is if a club doesnt sell their allocation by a week before the final then those remaining tickets should go to the other club. When you aere at your last fa cup final you played united...you were at highbury ... your av gate would have been about 45k and theirs was about 70k...imo if they had got approx 40% more tickets than you that would have been unfair on gooners. Wembley holds 80, 000 so it should 40, 000 each.
38k would have been our Highbury average so your point is fair. But the idea of a straight allocation to fans without any corporate, sponsors, overseas governing bodies allocation really isn't happening and it's no different now to what it was 30+ years ago....
If anyone does happen to end up with a spare ticket and they are inclined not to try and extort hundreds of pounds out of a fellow fan, please do get in contact - quite happy to pay face value for a ticket if anyone has one going
It's a ****ing disgrace how Thomas Cook have an allocation of tickets from the FA to sell as hotel & match packages
You'll be surprised who gets hold of tickets. Every chance the package Keith Prowse are offering includes a ticket sold by some dodgy lge 2 linesman for £200...
Every year the FA do a reconciliation of who walks through the gate with which ticket and who it was origninally allocated to, for the likes of KP to get hold of so many tickets they must get them through foul means, or, from fortunate people who qualify for tickets who look to cash in and sell to agencies believing they can't be traced back. The FA employ people to monitor where the tickets go FFS ! Someone at the FA has a ****ing great big brush and a ****ing great big carpet to match....
I think we are building back some momentum again, and I think this was largely due to Ramsey's appearance. With him, Flamini and potentially Ozil back, will make us a lot more stronger.
