Carling cup final

Postby Fidel Castro » Fri Dec 25, 2009 4:09 pm

Trying not to get ahead of myself here, but I was wondering how difficult it would be to get tickets IF we reach the final? Any idea?

Reckon they'll be snapped up rapid as it's around 35-40k tops with sponsors and crap getting tickets, so considering we have 40k regulars and ten's of thousands who would love to be at wembley they would be like rocking horse shit.

I hate that. I truly hate that so many tickets go to corporate people and because of that regular fans don't get there.

I'm guessing season ticket holders will be ok, but beyond that it's gonna be a struggle

It's bollox and dont understand how it's allowed, the FA cup is even worse as didn't Everton get 30k last year?

Hopefully we get there and Blackburn do too so we can fill there end for them.

A lot of those tickets wind up in fans' hands anyhow.

Not much point complaining about it before it even happens. We've a long way to go yet.

Last season the allocation was 31500 each to spurs and u****d but of that 31500 we would have to satisfy all our sponsors and corporates so you are looking at 30000 tops.

I would fly over from South Africa if we got to the final and I was guaranteed a ticket. It would make up for the cash I lost last year on Istanbul!

It's easy to cancel a hotel booking up to a few days beforehand without cost. Others are more awkward.

im a season ticket and was worried to. ive heard in carling cup all season tickets guaranteed a ticket but in fa around 26-28k. my brother works for a firm in london who have a box on half way line.(he works with one villa fan and no blackburn). if i get in box which should not be a problem i will be selling my ticket at face value to a regular on here who doesnt get a ticket(if we get to final fingers crossed)
