Regardless of what system the club used, if there's still all these tickets left then no one should go without if they want one.

Also why is there only going to be 20k tickets for the final?

Bruce, this has been explained on here loads if times. It won't change because a lot of fans of a team which can't sell out its semi-final allocation feel they should be able to go to the final even though they will get more tickets than their average crowd.
This whole thing, people wanting tickets with a mate sat next to them, wanting to know why they can't have the same seats if we get to the final, has shown a lot of people have a small town attitude instead if a big city one. You don't get other clubs' fans going on like this they are just glad to get a ticket. Some people would have a nervous breakdown if we were like the big clubs and had more season passholders than there are tickets available?

Yes, someone whose only game this season has been the semi-final should get precedence over someone who shelled out money for a season in advance. Maybe the club should issue season cards stating no preference will be given for cup games, that will go to people who have seen a cup game and just one will do.
The thought that someone who was gone to Wembley for a semi-final but wasn't at the Sunderland game or games like Swansea and West Brom should get preferential treatment is laughable.

Likewise a pass holder who hasn't gone to a single cup game this season should get a ticket to the final over a non-pass holder that has been to every cup game? How about a pass holder that only turns up for league games against the big teams (trust me there are plenty) over a non-pass holder that gets to the games regardless of opposition?

There's always going to be individual situations that appear unfair regardless of who gets priority.

Season passes are for the league, the cup is a different competition and if you have no intention of supporting the club in that competition until a glory game at Wembley then I don't see why you should get priority.

Yes, Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal etc always have difficulty selling tickets to their complacent fans, don't they?
It is an embarrassment although it hasn't been helped by our owners,or the lack of publicity by the club and the local media in building the game up. There was more in the HDM about semi-finals where the RL clubs took 7,000 fans all the way to Huddersfield.
I would bet that similar sized clubs to ourselves, Norwich, Leicester, Derby, Southampton etc would have sold out straight away.
You have to ask given the apathy about what the club is called, the negativity of so many of the population, the lack of support in the local media or on the local rugby league biased council, does the city of Hull deserve a successful top flight team? Other places would be a lot more enthusiastic, the people and the media, than Hull is.

Still to many Man Utd, Liverpool etc kicking around in the City. Especially young kids forced into it by their Dads

People who purchase a season ticket put their money into the club before a ball has been kicked.
Therefore it is, and always has been, that season ticket holders get priority on cup tickets.
And that's how it should be.

They all have much larger nationwide fan bases from which to draw support. You can't compare those clubs with us.

As for all this negativity of the population that you mention, in my view Hull is no worse or no better then any other city or large town in the country in this respect.

Every place has it's whingers.....

Its just a shame so many are apathetic until there's a glory game at Wembley.
 
all this bollocks about someone being more DESERVING?
the fans will still make noise, so what does it matter?
it should be 1st come 1st served.
if you can't get a ticket? tough ****!
should have got there sooner!
 
The main reason that we haven't sold out is simple.

1. Lack of money and the need for a lot to choose and gamble on this game or the cup final itself if we then get through.
2. I think this name change farce has knocked the stuffing out of a lot of people.

An astute media and PR savvy Chief Exec would have sold those remaining tickets.

Why haven't we got one?

Because the owners ****ed him about and now they can't get another one to come in. I think one of the existing employees at the club might get the job eventually.

Like Allam said when he came in he knows nothing about football.
You wouldn't know that we where in a Semi final half the time.
Clueless when it comes to promoting the club just happy causing consternation amongst the fans
