Fa cup tickets (19 Viewers)

[napolimp]

Outrageous decision, amateur, heads must roll. They should open it up to all ST's, it's an absolute joke. This club is run by clowns and deviants and deviant clowns.

Presume you're trying to be funny, but don't really get the joke.

I didn’t realise that all the way back then the club 2013 created a supporter number that they were prepared to acknowledge!

We must have had them as far back as 2005 as we had those flexcards when the Ricoh opened where if you weren't a season ticket holder you could load your match ticket onto a card rather than be posted a paper one. Still got mine somewhere, might have a look for it and see if its the same number I have on Ticketmaster now.

As far back as the 90s apparently.

They have to do this or there will be empty seats .. not exactly rocket science they needed to do something .

Glad they've done it anyway.

Yeah, general sale pretty much isn't an option and I think that's a good thing.
I'd honestly prefer a few empty seats over having groups of Man Utd fans in our end

 

[Brylowes]

I think Wembley is the only stadium big enough to hold semi finals. so more fans can go, for this tie Villa Park would have been used 42,000 take away FA and hospitality say 10,000 that gives each team just over 15,000 tickets, it wouldn't even go to all season ticket holders.

Could have had 30,000 each at Anfield.

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

It'll be to sell out the allocation and allowing those with the biggest purchase history to bring a mate/family member who wouldn't normally come. Thought they'll almost certainly be in a totally different area of the stadium by themselves.

How many fans do people think have got 1300 points or more

Well if I was the club I'd have worked out how many tickets were left and then looked at how many people in the database had enough points to sell those tickets, with a small allowance for those that wouldn't want the extra ticket for whatever reason.

too logical that

I'm currently developing a game called "Football (Ticket Office) Manager" - could everyone shut the fuck up about it until it's released and then you can all WIN and brag about how much of an operational genius you are. Cheers.

You made your first mistake in communicating your plans to the public

 

[rob9872]

Probably the 10th person on this to ask without reading but ... any indication when tickets will be emailed? Getting awfully close and knowing there will be glitches I'd like to have printed copies, even if only as a back up.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

At least 1500 you would assume.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Surely the fact that we sold out the original allocation of 34k shows that the club initially got it right?

 

[itsabuzzard]

I will as most of my mates are Utd fans. They’ll be celebrating Utd goals too

Mates!

 

[wal3590]

Still one short if anyone kindly has a supporter number I can use!

Cheers.

Last year it was around Wed and Thurs.

Every hour the club are responding on twitter saying that it will be later this week, so why do people keep asking? I’ve no idea what the panic is, unless they think the internet might go on strike and stop all deliveries. Just be patient, they will be sent out when they are sent out.

I think the problem is a lack of trust in the process.

Yeah, I remember last year, none of the tickets were emailed out and our end was completely empty

Well I've not seen twatter and its skready been answered so no need to advise me to be patient. Tickets bought 2 weeks ago on Thursday, you'd assume automatic afterwards like lots of other events and paper away tickets regularly arriving within a couple of days. As above, its the process and the short time in between if it fails for any reason and don't see why first half couldn't have been sent last week.

They emailed the play off tickets 3 or 4 days before the game and it was fine

Well why don’t you look at what the club has communicated (many times) if it is causing you so much stress? They said right from the first announcement of tickets that the emails would be sent out nearer the time so not sure why you expected them to arrive immediately. The process worked fine last year, this is no different.

One of the lads has asked me on our WhatsApp group 3 times since the weekend.....I've finally snapped and told him he's no longer got a lift down to Wembley......like he thinks I'll know before the club.
Check the website......check X.....not on there....guess what...they've not been sent yet!!
It's a shame they can't identify these people.....I'd send their tickets out to them on the morning of the game

Bit of a harsh response tbh

Ffs I just asked a question. Pipe down you bellend

Doubt it. If you get 36,000 each at Wembley, you'd not get that at Anfield.

Old Trafford isn't in a fit enough state, neither is Villa Park.

I know it's in Wales but the Millennium would be the dream. Unbelievable stadium.

It’s good that you have never suffered the consequences of an IT failure. I have - a 6 week crash of a conveyancing firms system meaning I nearly lost a house sale, and recently simultaneously an online Virgin a media order and a BT cancellation getting “stuck in their respective systems. The latter is still not resolved and I am continuing to be billed.

Therefore I don’t have your blind faith in a system that takes my money some time ago and leaves it as late as possible to send me what I have purchased.

Hopefully your smug confidence and easy dismissal of other people’s concerns will one day be suitably rewarded.

If we haven’t received tickets by Saturday I’ll share your concern, but as it’s only Tuesday I won’t panic for the moment. I’m sure it will all be sorted in the next 48 hours. Assuming Armageddon hasn’t happened, obviously.

I think the bellend is the one that can’t or won’t read the communications the club sends out.

 

[David O'Day]

is it weird and a bad thing they just want to send all the tickets out in one go?

[SBbucks]

Last year they sent them out in tranches over a two day period, assume they will do the same this time. I would expect an announcement in the morning, then start the process, and complete it during Thursday.

 

[Skybluecol]

Yep, it was harsh, but when it's all you see and being asked then sometimes a harsh response happens!
It's a rant and to no one personally.....albeit my mate is on the end of it directly!

when you take the FA tickets out and hospitality it's probably about 20,000 each. Wembley holds 90,000 but each team didn't get 45,000 tickets

 

[rob9872]

If the club don't email me, this is generally where I find out City related stuff. In future perhaps I'll look elsewhere just so that you don't need to get involved if I don't know something. Arguably what's the point therefore of a Sky Blue Forum and if you already know it all, why are you here?
