If he wants United to win then yes. He shouldn’t be in the Cov end.

Spot on this and very much more likely STH won't pass onto the wrong people. Much more likely that family go along with STH that don't usually go but have to put up with us going on about Cov 24/7 for the next month as the build up to the game increases each week
Just because you would it doesn’t mean everyone else would.

If you're a Man U fan sitting in amongst 34K Coventry fans, it can't be particularly that enjoyable, it's being around your own that makes it special.

There will be a few Man Utd fans who are season ticket holders TBF

That's a bit weird, but now you mention it I know one!
There are only so many City fans in everyone’s social circle. If you give ST holders the option to buy more than one ticket then it is inevitable they’ll bring some United fans along.

My united supporting mate I play crib with came out Monday night thinking he was going.
Had to tell him he ain’t, well not with me anyway.

I’m not overly fussed if the odd one is there. Imagine you’re team scoring and not been able to celebrate? Not much fun. I was in the home hospitality at the Riverside was V awkward when Hammer scored.

I'm sorry but why would you be split up?
If they decided to do allocations of 1000+ then 900+ you just buy yours at the 900+ window with your brother. The window wouldn't be 900-999 points.

How can you be a man utd fan and be 50/50 about winning an FA cup semi final?!
What nonsense. Bottom line is he shouldn’t be in the cov end.

Getting dicked in the final 2 years in a row by Man City, they'll probably secretly want us to win!

Why have tiers when there is no need?

My old man is a united fan, won't be taking him as that would be weird given he's been dead for 8 years and now stays in an urn on my mums shelf.

You can’t be serious?
He wants Cov to lose an FA cup semi final yet I’m the plastic

Having a dick measuring contest over points is juvenile
Anyone who’s “50/50” over whether we get to an Fa cup final is a plastic and I’d much rather that ticket goes to a proper fan.
If he’s half Man U I don’t even class him as human. Needs filling in.

You’re assuming that all groups of STHs will be able to buy at the same time. I’ll be going with people who have 1500-1700+ why tier the sales to split us up or force people to wait until seats become available? Especially when there’s enough for all STHs.
It’s the same reason I couldn’t get him a ticket to a few away games. His sale window is 800+ and mine is 1,000+. He rightfully missed out but as a STH, absolutely should get equal access to the semi final.
The bottom line is that each STH should have the opportunity to purchase a SF ticket. The reason for the points system is because the demand is higher than the supply i.e. more STHs than tickets available. At Wembley, our allocation can accommodate every STH.
Last season, 37k could accompany every STH x 2 so it made sense to allow STHs buy 2 tickets. This year, with 19k+ STHs, we cannot accommodate that without risking STHs missing out. Which is clearly wrong.
Besides, if you make it x2 for STHs, there’s probably a higher risk of day trippers by either buying tickets on the resale market or surplus tickets from STHs.
Using the playoff final as a guide, STHs will get equal access but 1 ticket per supporter number and the remaining tickets available at 1 per account number.
Which is probably why they’ve sent out notices to ensure fans have their details correct and in order.

It is a bit of a conumdrum for the club, once they've sold to the STH's and Points holders without ST's, there will be plenty of tickets of left. Maybe they can throw them open to STH's for a second time to avoid people buying without a Purchase History!

I don’t have the data to hand, but think the STHs plus members, plus non-STHs with points will be close to 30-32k. Then there’s the ‘riff raff’ of previous purchase history.
I’d say the club must have around 40k people on their database.

This seems the most sensible solution
Maybe add in an option for a 5 match package for the final 5 home games as a priority after season ticket holders.
Think that's what they did with the Checkatrade final
To be honest I’d love to fill him in myself, I’d pay good money to do it. The only problem is I’d be worried if I started I wouldn’t be able to stop.
Ffs can people not take a joke, they have to take everything literally.
Its like my mate didn’t turn up at wolves he owes me £100 I said to my other mate ffs I’ll kill him. It doesn’t mean I will actually kill him lol.

If we have over 34K on the database then not a problem, my gut feeling is it might be less than this. We're averaging 25K at the moment so that will be 19K season ticket holders plus 6K points holders that still leaves 9K to take it to 34K, we gained a lot of new fans over the last 2 seasons but to have 9K non STH's and people with really low points or no points seems a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, that's for the club to decide, whatever way they go someone is going to be pissed off & the only way to stop Man Utd fans in our end will be letting multiple tickets to be sold to fans at some point!
