They need to sort out a ticket reselling platform for home games.

So you either get 2 credits or zero?

Could lead to a lot of people on same number of points applying for a small pot of tickets!

FA Cup Final: Ticket saga continues.

So after a a 1st ballot and 2nd ballot chubbing, got a ticket in the 3rd! Who knew there was a 3rd! I'm assuming that the 3rd is looking for tickets down the side of sofas in the ticket office?

Great stuff anyway :)

The club is still chasing the FA for returns and is also buying club wembley for sponsors to free more for fans, after second ballot still around 1k on full credits were without tickets, don't know how many of those have got so far this week

Edit: Glad you eventually got one!

How easy is it to get 2 seats next to each other with membership?

Very easy for most games, just keep checking the website as they seemed to have put them up at very random times this season. Then you go into a ballot for the top 6

Great, thanks.

And am I right in saying the difference between the £20 lite membership and £32 full is you're paying £12 for a scarf, pen, bottle opener and pin? It makes no difference to actually getting tickets?

Agreed, roll on Thursday, should have SAF songs on repeat.

We surely can do better than Scott mctominay de de de de de de considering scousers already sing it to Gigi wijnandum

Chelsea received an extra 1346 tickets yesterday (presuming United did too) so should be taking each club’s allocation to near 29,700.

A colleague of mine had a call from TO this morning offering him a pair. He has full credits and was chubbed in all previous ballots.

United had already received more extra tickets than that when doing the second ballot, still hundreds on full credits without

According to the e-mail they sent me yesterday afternoon after the third ballot, they are still over a thousand tickets short of getting a ticket for everyone with full home cup credits.

Shit. I'm also Club Wembley, so I'm in 216... that's the east of the stadium, isn't it? I'm in the Chelsea end?
Yup, i'm 206. used to be able to walk round the whole concourse and just pop into the other areas, but club wembley has got a lot tighter recently, sometimes not allowing you to move between blocks.

TObe honest, I was there for the semi too - its fairly dead atmosphere in club wembley, no matter what group of fans you're sitting with. Although form above and below there was a fair amount of "Facking ell ref" etc.

Cool. Good to know beforehand. Will keep the colours to a pin badge! Is it alright to have a drink in? We were thinking of heading in early and enjoying the facilities.

Club wembley has loads of bars, and, I know I say this to the annoyance of some, some lovely food, although pricey. If you can, walk round to the "front" of the stadium, so you overlook Wembley WaY - it's pretty cool to have a drink and watch people walking up to the stadium.

You're not allowed to wear a football shirt in there which is pathetic, so a nice red t shirt will do for me, as per usual. I took my 4 year old to the semi final, and for what it's worth its pretty friendly banter in there. He got in a shouting match with a 40 year old guy behind us who was a spurs fan.

"Daddy, why is that man shouting?"

"it's just what you do at football, you shout and sing songs"

"oh.. COME ON!!!!!! Um.. TWINKLE TWINKLE LITT"

"No Alex, football songs".

Pardew 'wanted pace'
Has anyone sat on the front row of the North Stand at Old Trafford? Our tickets are now there... don't know how the view will be though given the pitch is raised. Should we ask for a move?
