I wonder for the final if we make it, would they do a ballot where basically they say you can only enter if you went to the semi final as i believe we would get around 30k tickets for semi final, then about 26/27k for final. So 90% of people that went to the semi should also be able to make the final as well
yes but it's also not really fair to people who might have 3/4 or 4/4 games and lost the semi ballot. Another ballot involving everyone again would be fairer imo but I don't see the club doing that

Usually the allocations are 35-36k for the Semi Final and 28k for the final

If we got all homes to the semi, then surely they'd do all homes this season, and one from some of the previous aways we've had... Chelsea/Wolves/Plymouth/West Ham etc.

Almost certain to be the Weds, 2nd March. Cant be Tues cos of cup final on the Sunday. We have West Ham tv game on the Saturday after, so cant be Thursday.

Everton also at home, but their games around it are Saturday before and Monday after. So they can play Tues or Thurs.

They didn't in 2012 when we had all homes.

Your right but in those days they differentiated between members and season ticket holders maybe they will do the same and Auto cup scheme wasn't running

Sale dates are as follows

ALL Priority Rights Holders: Wednesday 28th March 2012

Season Ticket Holders who have recorded 4 FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011/2012: Thursday 29th March 2012 until Friday 30th March 2012
(Supporters in this group are guaranteed a ticket)

Members & Fan Card Holders who have recorded 4 FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011/2012: Monday 2nd April 2012
(Supporters in this group are guaranteed a ticket)

Season Ticket Holders who have recorded 3 FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011/2012: Tuesday 3rd April 2012
(Supporters in this group are guaranteed a ticket)

Ballot details

The club will run a ballot should any tickets remain after the above sales have taken place.

The following groups of supporters will be required to enter their details for the ballot:

1. Members and Fan Card Holders who have recorded 3 FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011/2012

2. Season Ticket Holders who have recorded 2 FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011/2012

And for the final Members had to join the ballot

ALL Priority Rights Holders: Monday, April 23 2012.

Season Ticket Holders who have recorded five FA Cup matches on their customer record during season 2011-12: Tuesday, April 24 2012 until 12pm on Wednesday, April 25.
(Supporters in this group are guaranteed a ticket)

Ballot details:

As we do not have enough tickets to satisfy demand, the remainder of the sale will be subject to a ballot.

Members and Fan Card Holders with five (5) 2011-2012 FA Cup games recorded against their customer record will be required to register their interest in purchasing a ticket between 1pm on Wednesday, April 18 and 2pm on Friday, April 20 2012.  Details of how to register will be published on the website on Wednesday, April 18.

That is the round after this. If we beat Norwich, United will be postponed.

I know but the grounds a lot bigger now, and STH and members are now in the same hat. Just my prediction anyway, and it would make sense imo

there's every chance, I doubt they even bring 3k. Any tickets in the lower tier would go straight to members because they haven't been used in either game yet

They only took 1800 to Wolves, Cardiff brought just under 7k...

Obviously next round and against a bigger club, but i can't see them selling half of what Cardiff brought.

plus it's a Wednesday night and only 2 and a half weeks after they've already been here at the league game, it's different if it's not an EPL club as they like the day out at Anfield too

Usually the allocations are 35-36k for the Semi Final and 28k for the final

33k and 28k were the allocations for the last ones played pre-covid

So same as the league cup for the semi then 5k less for the final

Odds for semi will be much worse if there's no away though, maybe they use aways from another season?

If we draw home again and progress I can only see a ballot for all. That means absolute carnage with potential for some with many years home and away support missing out. I’d like to think they’d use previous years aways but don’t see it personally

Can see both sides of the argument.

As someone who would be guaranteed if they look back previous years I can see the argument for everyone in the ballot based on this year's, after all, it is this year's final we are talking about. So it gives everyone who has been to all this seasons games the same chance.

Probably be drawn away to the Ev next anyway and it'll all be trivial :D

yeah exactly the point why I can see them using aways, if you have Shrewsbury or cheslea from 19/20 guaranteed maybe? There's not really a right answer and even in a ballot some will miss out

Would of thought if it is an away tie in the QF and we get through to semi it will be everyone with Shrewsbury, Cardiff, Norwich & FA cup away in the 1st sale then with all homes in ballot?

I could be wrong

Or a combination of any three games maybe for the ballot.

Not sure I agree on that, if there’s not anything between 3500-6000k being taken out first for those with an away QF, then that would mean there are more tickets available in the ballot for everyone who has the 4 home games. So as someone who hasn’t any chance of an away QF, I’d personally be hoping for another home tie.

yeah I didn't account for that but I think the odds will be Similar whether there's an away or not because those tickets are still part of the general allocation
