As you probably know all clubs receive a small allocation of tickets for cup finals. I need at least a couple for the league cup final. I'm Sunderland but I'd buy tickets for any section. I'm happy to pay over the odds. I live 1000 miles from the UK but still manage around 16/20 games a season. I was at the semi-final and have stayed on for Kidderminster and the Stoke match on Wednesday. I can't have a season ticket so won't get a ticket for the final. I'm not going to give you a sob story, I'm just an ordinary supporter who's been travelling the length & breadth of the country for 40 years following my team. If you can help please pm, thanks.
From experience, I'd suggest these limited tickets are kept 'in-house' of the football clubs and aren't released for sale to the supporters. You would probably have to appeal to the club directly for the tickets - although expect ours will be snapped up by Bernard Mensah, who is a Sunderland fan The only suggestions I would have is beg on numerous Sunderland boards, or have a look at 'Club Wembley' tickets to see if these are released if the seat holders aren't going. Good luck in getting tickets, and in the final
Sounds to me as if you deserve to get some tickets with your dedication. Keep an eye on Ebay There is also the sites where the rip off merchants sell tickets they have hovered up like getmein and viagogo but these people make me sick. An alternative is ScarletMist http://www.scarletmist.com/ I think there are some other similar sites to ScarletMist just search on Google for spare tickets. Good luck in your search and in the final.
For the League cup final you do get a bigger allocation than for the FA Cup final at least.. Hope you loyal fans can go though rather than the gloryhunters...
Cheers lads, I'll take any help I can get Nice to be met with such decency. Threads regarding tickets are traditionally left alone by wummers etc and it's nice to see that's the case here. Good luck to you for the season.
