Anyone sat in the £60 seats at the semi should get first dibs at a final ticket, but was chatting with a guy yesterday who'd probably 4 club wembley spare, so he offered me one and a ticket reseller will get the other 3.
We've been told 18,000 season ticket holders when reference has been made to the silent majority, so worst case we've got about 20,000 pass holders applying for tickets (the 18,000 announced could have been the "silent majority", so season ticket holders excluding the level of CTWD membership) The allocation for the Final though should be the same size as the KC Stadium (by coincidence, not design). Should also be straight forward enough to handle. Same arrangements as this time, the only difference is that nobody is allowed to apply for 2 tickets next time round. With regards Club Wembley availability for the Final, it will remain next to non-existant unless Wigan beat Arsenal. Even as a City fan I have the trains booked for the Friday and the Sunday, and a hotel booked for the 2 nights. The only reason I've not gone for booking the ticket is that I'm a season ticket holder so I shouldn't have a problem getting a ticket from the club if we get there. As an Arsenal fan, even as a season ticket holder I'd be buying a ticket now because I wouldn't want to miss us winning the first trophy in 9 years. They're expected to get there, and if they do they're going to have nowhere near enough tickets to go round their season ticket holders. Their season tickets cost a ****ing fortune as well, so the fans who can afford them are going to be less bothered about buying Club Wembley tickets and losing the money because they don't get there, and they only have that risk if they can't sell them to either one of us or a Sheff U fan. (Wigan will have enough by their own admission, especially if they're going back for the PO Final the next week)
You can only re-sell Club Wembley seats through Club Wembley, if you sell them through anyone else and they find out, they void the membership for that event and you can't use them.
I know it's illegal to resell club wembley tickets outside of club wembleys thing, but are you ok to give your tickets away? And how can they find out?
It's okay to give them away and if you flog them to a mate, then they're not going to know. It's only if you give them to a ticket agency, or start touting them round Twitter and Facebook that you're likely to come unstuck.
If we get to the final ticket allocation should be quite simple . One ticket per season ticket holder , then a very small number to people who have bought tickets to games this season . Not sure what BCC is talking about with 'proper' fans
I meant season ticket holders, but if we have more tickets in our allocation than season ticket holders then it's fine. I just didnt think we would. I honestly thought we'd get about 16k tickets for the final.
That's interesting, one of the ticket resellers I know has 32 club wembley seats which they sell on their own website for every event, and they've had no hassle with it
I wonder what criteria you will have to meet if we do get to the final once season ticket holders have purchased theirs - I am going for you must of had to of purchased 10 home game tickets or more ;-)
Club Wembley have official ticket sellers for the Club Wembley seats that they still own. You can get hospitality packages here... https://www.sportsworld.co.uk/events/fa-cup-semi-finals-2014 And I think there's an official ticket partner that sells for them, but if you put your tickets up for sale, you void your membership and risk having the tickets blocked.
