Who has their tickets then?

Postby fees » Fri Apr 29, 2011 7:35 am

Seeing as though yesterday the official tickets went on sale i was wondering if anyone on here had managed to secure their tickets yet. I was watching footage on SSN and it showed City fans Q'ing at CoMS.

Not me, that's for sure. 350 quid from some dodgy agency seems to be the best option.

That costs a fortune as well. Even for dumps.
Since I'm just staying one night and plan to go to bed pissed, I've opted for a bed in a four bed dorm in a cheapish (for London) hostel, that's on the right tube lines for me.

Got to the ground just after 7 this morning expecting to see huge queues, went to 'check in' and was given a form with '15' on it, I couldn't believe there were so few people there!

When the ticket office opened at 9am there were no more than 50 people waiting in total, we had our ticket by 09:10! Very pleasantly surprised!

We've got shit tickets btw, it's all we could afford, but I'm just so excited to be going to my first ever FA Cup final!

how long were the queues, especially today? I'm going tomorrow, so wondering if I need to take my tea as well as lunch?

Sorted the tickets for our group through the club, the "employee" in question charged an extra £20 per ticket for them - doesnt sit right with me that I had to take steps to circumvent the process, or that a club employee is profiting from their allocation, but ultimately when it comes to games like this, £20 extra for a ticket sure beats paying £350 to sit in club Wembley with a bunch of suits.

Now I've got everyone elses tickets in my hand, i'm starting to regret my choice not to go and take a holiday instead

I was down there popping into the City Store at 13.30 and there were literally ZERO fans queuing for tickets.

Was this down to the wedding, weather, pricing or incorrect assumptions on demand from the club in that points category?

No doubt as the points drop the usual chaos will kick in

A slow start bodes well for me and the rest of the shit fans below 3000 points.

then again its more than likely the phone lines were a bit busier

You may be able to get your own tickets lads. From what I saw at the ground this morning and have read on here the tickets don't seem to be in as much demand as you might expect!

Mrs 2bobs aunt and uncle got ours on Thurs morning, queued from 7.30 and i think they got them at about noon.

Not wanting to dampen hopes but dont forget that the cup schemers arent able to get thiers yet
