Topic: FA Cup Draw

[TheSpionKopNC]

Just checked out the sale.  Hard to believe a 3rd round draw against the teams listed has already sold out.  Crazy stuff this year.

Can't seem to get a ticket!

Know that's not the normal error message you usually get, but perhaps?

But there'll be less than 50,000 in the ground.

Not surprised.  Saw where someone mentioned credit hunters.  Again, looks like people doing their rounds hunting a final will prevent people who want to see an affordable match from going.  Oh well, gotta get back to work.  It's mid-morning here in the US.

Good luck guys!

Situations like this they should only give you the credit if the cards actually scanned at the turnstile

[dudleyred]

credit hunting was mentioned in jest a page or so before - yes there will be empty seats at this game but there's empty seats at every cup game - not right but not a new issue.

this game will go back on sale to all members and i'm willing to bet there will be 100's of tickets for it.

The club has no idea at this stage how many the visiting team will take. they have to keep 8,500 back

Newport county average a gate of 2,500. Yes loads will come out of the woodwork for it but i would be very surprised if they could sell 8500. Plymouth probably could but then its miles away so who knows!

There will be loads of hospitality unsold which will go on sale

there will be loads of players tickets etc that will get returned

Its shite that people have missed out today but keep an eye on the sales page and you will get sorted

[MaskedBenitez]

Best get 3 tickets. Been doing the cup run for 10 years Home and Away.

It's surprising they don't. Easy way to check. Wasn't the reason UEFA away tickets had to be picked up in person to stop this?

[stoz]

I agree in principle with that. But there will always be a few genuine cases where people haven't made it due to travel problems, or a late emergency etc......

that's actually a good idea in terms of solving credit problems.  I'm surprised that they don't do that anyway.  Seems technology would be easy to implement, especially on a member card and turnstile system.

Technology is there. Club already know if the card was used or not

Spurs are doing this for their Europa game at Wembley apparently.
Selling £5 tickets, and £15 in club Wembley but you only get +30 loyalty points if paper tickets are scanned at turnstile

I'm getting this at the back of the Kop

[TheSpionKopNC]

Dont' know why they don't do it then.  If that was the case and they implemented that technology then I'm betting you'd see amber blocks galore for the FA 3rd match.  Now again, I have no dog in the fight being from US because I can't go like I'd like to go, but I genuinely would be pissed if I lived in L'pool and couldn't get a ticket because some wank in Egypt was credit hunting with no plans of attending only for a FA final ticket

[PaulKS]

Got mine on my phone at 11 and there was loads available so was pretty easy

Been in a meeting since and cant believe its sold out

[Hij]

Well I've conspired to let some people down here. Fuck sake

[kevlumley]

Am I right in assuming that there isn't a sale for fan cards?

Am I also right in assuming tomorrows sale is for local lads and lasses only?

Thanks

[xRedmanLFCx]

Correct on both counts. No sale for fancard holders .... yet.

[kevlumley]

Ok, thanks. Probably obvious to most, but wishful thinking that the sale was available to fan cards.

[Shanklygates]

So Argyle get their first ever visit! Loads of reds down there too so sure they will take the full allocation.

[Statto Red]

Newport 0 Plymouth 1 FT Plymouth it is.

[stoz]

No you haven't mate. If they can't make the effort to sort themselves out, they can't expect others to do it for them.

[Statto Red]

We've played Argyle before in the League, last time in 1962.

They've played at Anfield before. Albeit over fifty years ago!

[andy07]

Impressed with this selling out so quickly, makes you think how many we could sell?  60k, 65k? 

[willfc]

And to think last season we could barely sell out Carlisle or Bournemouth and yet Stoke at home until a few days before. Mental.

[WanderingRed]

I've messed this one up for myself. Has a membership & a ST in the autocup but have a mate coming over who wanted to go so I was waiting for the local general sale to get 3 together by letting the ACS payments fail.

Did anyone expect this to sell out so quick?

Anyone hopeful for returns

Was it Newport we have never played? Sorry, I know they said it was one.

Argyle's first in my lifetime then!

[MaskedBenitez]

Got one single on one card this morning :/ Got in after 3 mins .. sold out now

Sorted another single in the upper ! :/

[stevemcd]

Any idea when the exchange will be up?

Never understand this sort of risk. Can your mate not sit on his own for 90 minutes, and you'd spend time with him before/after?

[kalle-anka]

Have to agree with Stoz, if it's your mate surely you could have used the two seats together and the other person in the ACS could use a potential 3rd ticket that you got later?

But there should be plenty of unsold hospitality for this one, fingers crossed you can sort everyone out.

Hospitality is basically sold out as well.  Doubt there will be much if anything now.

Hospitality sold out for a 3rd round FA cup against a league two team?!

[chrisfletcher]

Hospitality sold out for a 3rd round FA cup against a league two team?!

Perhaps it's sold out to Plymouth people?

I remember the Blackpool League game years ago being all Blackpool hospitality behind me

[Hij]

Sorted some out now and everyone I had said would be able to go can go. Just need to try and snag me and my brother two tickets for this match on our own cards wherever in the stadium. There's got to be a chance of some coming available before the game is played? It's Plymouth at home! Maybe it's because they were all so cheap.

[ScubaSteve]

If it wasn't for the credits for the latter stages this wouldn't have sold out.

wish it was away to be honest!!

£14 in the kop, can't complain! The ACS is the only way forward for guaranteed tix

Doesn't hospitality sort you a Wembley ticket now? Probably why
