cup final tickets

I'm missing something - tickets go on sale next week but the ticketing website's down now?

People scrambling for last minute home game purchases to get to the magic number.

 

Bingo.

 

So where are people on here planning on sitting?

I'm thinking cat3 behind the goal, though choice may be limited by the time I can buy (if I even can).

 

Already sent for mine. The website was playing up on Monday. Too many trying to get Arsenal tickets or being hacked by Liverpool.

 

Oh go on then! add my name to the list of deserting ex-pats dreaming of a trip home and 2 tickets! (I have a paypal account and can pay instantly if that helps!) and Mrs. Serbia might even crack a smile! (cos she could go shopping in London)

 

Doesn't look good for me. Nearly all away games I go to. 1 home and 6 aways so is not looking good if anyone has one spare and in the very unlikely event of one of their friends not taking the ticket off them I'll find a good home for it

 

Its a shame the official season ticket number is not made public - might ease some people's fears.
Take away support out of st Mary's and I'd say about 28k is the average gate
I would be surprised if it sold out at the 5 game criteria. I guess they sent that bench mark because that would sell out if everyone eligible purchased a ticket, but other commitments/price and travel I don't think that's likely

 

I've been obsessed over this all day. Using all my connections, I've all but secured a ticket. It'll be in the Man U end, if Man U are in the final. I'd still rather we play Hull and I watch it on the box though.

 

Person that works in ticket office said they would be surprised if these tickets went on sale beyond the scheduled dates

 

I believe it was around 21-22k pre season, you can add a few hundred halfs.

I would too like to see numbers eligible. Using a wild guess I's say those with 8 & 7 should be fine.

Could be a rush after that. I'll be absolutely gutted if I don't get one

 

I might be able to get United end ticket if it's them too.

Would rather be with ours and not pay through the nose but if needs must...

 

Just got a sickening feeling that West Ham might be sold out by Monday when I can buy a ticket

 

Also, I wonder how many memberships have been bought today? Didn't think about it at first but bit **** really that you can just buy them now.

Seems pointless buying one back in August now tbh.

Anyone know for sure how many STH's we have?

 

So, anyone who's been to Wembley might have an idea of this one.

We watch from about ten rows from the back at St Mary's, row FF. Anyone any idea roughly how far up Wembley is a similar angle above the pitch? I know bigger stadiums have flatter lower rows and I hate watching footy too low down so it'd be nice to know.

Thanks.

I'll let you know later. Ollie is getting his JPT ticket out as we want to try and get the same seats. We were in a higher tier, similar in relation to where we sit at St Mary's. Bigger scales clearly at Wembley. I too can't sit low down.

Ps. The higher seats are very steep giving you a good view of everything.

 

I have given up all hope

 

Bit early for that mate!

 

Yep be good to know - I remember I was a bit too low at the JPT. I'm in HH at St Mary's - about 5 rows from the boxes. Some say too high, but you get a great perspective on the game. Only problem is takes about 20 mins to get down the stairs after the game...

I think the middle tier at Wembley will probably do it opposite the royal box. Get a great view of our goals, our fans and the trophy

 

Based on the maps people have posted it looks like we're not being offered the middle tier. Presumably that's reserved for those who need a good view to go with their prawn sandwiches.
