Could be wrong but I reckon there will be 30k+ tickets for both finalists. It's not like the FA cup where thousands of tickets are given to the "football family"

There were about 32k for the finalists of the league cup last year and 28k for the FA Cup Final. Last year in the FA Cup Final I seem to recall we were a couple of thousand short of having enough for all ST holders who opted in to the cup matches last year...

I reckon if we do make the final... 80% or more of the final tickets will go to execs and ST holders who have opted in to all cup matches. 20% to other season ticket holders with those attending most cup matches getting the priority.

Trying to get ticket for Palace tomorrow night but nothing so far.

If anyone has a spare or can't go for whatever reason, please PM me. Can offer you some nice pre-Christmas cash!

Yeah I'd guess around the 35k mark, but there are 50k+ season ticket holders and execs so they won't all get covered and members won't stand a chance.

So I've decided to go to OT on Boxing Day... never been to Manchester, have no idea about anything, we're driving there, not a clue about parking, where to eat and drink, and not sure just how busy Manchester is going to be on the day. Any tips for any of this chaos would be welcome.

 

[Sandikan]

They've confirmed the Feb games at last.

Was a bit nervous on the Hull league home, as i'd gambled on securing a super cheap hotel room pre confirmation. But it's Wed 1st Feb thank goodness!

Leicester away now on the Sunday, and City of course moved. Although being the same weekend as the league cup final hopefully is moved again!

 

[TakeMeHome]

Just been charged for the Reading game. I thought opting out of the cup games meant they wont charge me?

That's only EFL and Europa League. FA Cup and UCL (when we are in it) are compulsory as with League games.

I normally park in the car park at the Lowry Centre which is about ten mind walk away from the stadium.

After the game there are a few restaurants that you can go into and let the traffic die down. The parking in there will be a out £7-£8

Ive parked in there previously for boxing day fixtures, it'll be busy but you should get parked OK.

 

[Sandikan]

Any hints as to how many Reading might be taking?

I'm in East 2 that can be given over to away fans if they want enough tickets.

Hope they do take loads, as It's always easier passing a pal paper tickets rather than having to arrange the cards back and forwards!

Presuming there's no tram restrictions due to the date, another option is to park at Altrincham (mass of parking, either cheap or free depending on day), and get the 15min tram in for £3.80.

Then you can walk to the Lowry mall 10mins from the ground, eat, relax etc, while not being caught up in any traffic.

From a Palace supporter in the newbies.

CPFC fan here. Just in case you are not aware, any fans travelling down by train, will have problems getting to selhurst park from either London Bridge, or London Victoria, as Southern Rail Services ( which normally stop at Thornton Heath, Selhurst, or Norwood Junction for Selhurst Park) are in the middle of a strike, and NO TRAINS are running.

Hope it's a good game.

 

[JmRssll555]

I'm looking for a last minute spare for Palace, if anyone knows of one available.

 

[Slops]

So I've a few tickets for West Brom away and one of them is a £25 (so £5 off) senior ticket as my season ticket is inherited off my old man.

What's the entry procedure like at West Brom? I've been before but I can't remember. Should it be okay or is it genuinely worth one of us not bothering to show up?

Just go and don't stop at the turnstile. Pile in at KO if you're worried.

Not showing up is the worst idea i've ever heard.

 

[Slops]

Well, not showing up is only if I've got no chance, to be honest.

It's annoying 'cause my dad isn't a senior by United's rules, but he is by West Brom's rules.

 

[MelvinYeo]

Looking for four tickets preferably together for Boro, if not will take two pairs!

Where do people park in Altrincham? Is there a car park where you get the tram from?
I'm thinking of doing this option next I go.

The 24h Tesco is right by the tram and has a big car park. No idea what their rules are. Have parked there to do things other than Tesco before, though.

How far have you got to travel and which direction will you be going in?

 

[TakeMeHome]

Travel back to Birmingham. Just exploring various parking options really. I normally park on elevator road, by the factories/warehouses in front of the official N4 car park but its a nightmare getting away.

So M6 then A56 or M56 then? I do a similar journey every time and have noticed it has been getting worse to get home lately but I've found a better route back to the motorway and it seems to knock an hour off the journey.

We park down by the Bridgwater canal, £6 and it's a short 5/10 minute walk to the ground. You can get there by going past Harry Ramsdem's, KFC etc on the left once you've driven past the ground and then bearing right at the roundabout. You'll see a match day parking sign and an old geezer stood on the exit to roundabout. It's nice and quiet down there and we just walk straight down the canal to the ground. On the way home, rather than sitting in traffic for eternity on the Chester Road, when you come to that same roundabout, just go straight on (you can't miss it as everyone is going right towards the A56). We then go through Old Trafford (not the stadium) and Hulme, where there is literally no traffic at all. This will take you to the M56 where you would be a junction or two further back than if you went the A56 route. It's a bit further distance wise but you're constantly on the move so it works out a lot better and less depressing. I've not done the tram from Altrincham but I imagine that would take longer or possibly roughly the same amount of time.

If you do take the Alty route... there's a big car park at the back of the train/tram station where you have the ice rink. It's free if the match is on a Sunday and you'd have to pay up until 6pm on a Saturday - although the car parks are very cheap.

It'll take you about an hour or so to get back there though after the match as the trams are obviously busy.

Yeh thats the journey that I do. On Sunday I left on the 86 minute mark. It took me about 20 minutes to get to my car but the journey home wasnt too bad. I was home about 6.30.

I'm in East 2, and as long as I'm by the exit as the final whistle goes, I find I can have a brisk 10min walk to the station, and have always got at worst the 2nd tram away, often the first, then it's 15mride, and back in Alty within 30 or so mins...
An hour would feel severe!

It was over an hour for me on Sunday! Third tram and there seemed to be a 10 minute wait between each...

I'd say about 45 mins from the match finishing is possibly my average.

Bad luck mate.
It's a shame in a way having to rush off the second the game finishes, but for time saved, it's the only option.
Will never understand those who leave 5-10mins before the end though. Especially the locals!

Looks like Reading have taken their full allocation for the cup game.

Just got a text from United and they will post a paper ticket.

Any one after a single for the reading game then give me a shout. Block E230, Row 25, Seat 62. (Normally the away section).

 

[Zebs]

Applied for a single Liverpool ticket for the home game. Anyone know when successful applicants will be told? Someone else might have a ticket for me and I don't want to commit and end up paying for two tickets.

Cause that'd be a nightmare to resell to a mate or someone on here, a nightmare I tell you!

So I bought tickets back in August for me and the old man for the Chelsea game in April. Somehow managed to get Executive Level seating (through Viagogo) in section 205 which is apparently VIP Hospitality? Does that include some sort of extra amenities? I believe it's the International Suite. Will be my first ever United game so I will greatly appreciate any relevant information!

Cheers.

 

[D1VSP]

Some tickets available over the new year period - DM if interested.

2 for Middlesbrough
4 for Reading

FV @ £45 each. East Stand Lower.

Still have my single ticket going for the Sunderland and Middlesbrough games.

Access to a suite but have to pay for food + drinks.

Won 2 tickets in a work raffle to this sort of set up... seems odd. Have to buy your own food but get free tea at half time!
However, seats are on the half way line and they're free so it works!

Desperately need 3-4 tickets for Watford in February. Please let me know.
