Topic: The FA Cup

Jumping the gun a bit but how many did we get for the 2012 Semi V Everton? Seem to recall over 30,000 then that plummets for the final.

Just short of 32000 for a semi and around 25000 for the final in 2012.

Jumping the gun a bit but how many did we get for the 2012 Semi V Everton? Seem to recall over 30,000 then that plummets for the final.

We got an allocation of 31,997 for the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa in 2015. If we get there, let’s see how close to that figure is.

Can anyone address to the club as part of our fan base why the club is allocating so many tickets in house too.

5610 hospitality/PRH
2640 players and officials
330 sponsors

These numbers were beyond a joke for the league cup

City got over 35000 in the last pre pandemic semi

I believe they have increased the final allocation since then, more near the 30k mark now

[Thomas]

any idea which day over the weekend the 1/4 final is likely going to be ? Not the Friday I assume as we play midweek Wednesday?

[30fiver]

it should be 33k and 28k, but last time the FA returned 2k per match extra to each team, leaving 35k and 30k

Sat or Sun.
Only one that is definite is Palace v Everton will be Sunday - Ev play Thursday before.

Us, Chelsea, Huddersfield, Forest play the Weds before, so won't be Friday.

Posted this earlier in the thread, but it seems more tickets have been made available for both the semi's & final pre-covid

Both teams, City & Watford were given extra tickets for the last unaffected final in 2019. Don't know where they came from but put their allocations up to over 31k.

Arsenal got 4,516 for Forest this season.

We had the full end at Huddersfield for pre-season didn't we not long ago? Can't find the details for it

every chance Palace v Everton could be monday but then again so could our match

[Craig S]

Its international break, so no Monday games

[jdirckze]

Its international break, so no Monday games

that's what I thought but info I read included Monday as a possibility

[TeddyTime33]

that's what I thought but info I read included Monday as a possibility

yeah they mentioned Monday on the draw but its not possible at all, the only EPL games scheduled are Friday night, 12;30 on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday. 5:30/7:45 and 12/4/
:30/6:30 Sunday are probably gonna be the 5 kick off times for the cup

[ooter1]

have chelsea, wolves, west ham and bolton on 2 cards but only 1 of them is an active membership, does anyone know whether the other card will qualify for forest/huddersfield?

[James_1906]

I'd think you'd have to buy a membership on the other card that qualifies and youll be sound, almost certain it won't let you buy without a membership

[TeddyTime33]

I'd think you'd have to buy a membership on the other card that qualifies and youll be sound, almost certain it won't let you buy without a membership

yeah you need an active membership, not sure if they are still available for this season though

[James_1906]

They are, I know a lad who bought one the other week, they are on discount as its gone past mid season only £10 for a light membership

[ooter1]

cheers lads, think i'll bite the bullet and get the light membership for a tenner. i was actually in the same boat for chelsea in 2020 and got a ticket on the un-active card, not sure if it was a glitch on their end but probably best not to take the chance again.

[TeddyTime33]

sound that, although in fairness Watford is gonna be the only game left available to all members

[willss]

Regardless of which 1 or the 2 we get, I reckon it will be based on the last 3 FA Cup aways only -

5466 - Chelsea
1684 - Shrewsbury
4774 - Wolves

3/3 - guaranteed 1st sale
2/3 - non guaranteed 2nd sale

Reasoning is that they normally go back as far as they need in order to find the guaranteed sale, which in this case is Shrewsbury. No need for them to go further back that that.

Obviously the above could be completely wrong though!

My thinking is along the same lines as this for either game.  Looks like the 2/3 sales would be:
Forest about 91% would get sorted (based on 4.5k)
Huddersfield about 62% would get sorted (based on 3.6k)

This is always assuming the club don't do something unexpected (which is common)!!

Yep! Will be a weird one and a lot of factors,  could it be a Monday, perhaps, covid, credits not counting to the following season vs credit to avoid potential ballots! Think if you're in early doors for either sale you'll be safe with these 3

[TeddyTime33]

Spurs West Ham is 4:30 on the Sunday now, you'd think they'd avoid putting FA Cup at the same time, leaves 12pm or 6:30 onwards on Sunday

[DougLFC94]

6pm Sunday confirmed...what a load of shite that is

[ABJ]

6pm Sunday confirmed...what a load of shite that is

Yep, the worst possible day/time. We’ve booked hotels for both on free cancellation although it’s looking like Forest atm.

[ripsaw19]

Forest it is then! Bigger allocation so more chance of a ticket for those of us with Chelsea. I'd imagine selling details will be out tomorrow or Wednesday with the game less than 2 weeks away

[PaulKS]

First time since 1999, can't wait

[anfieldash]

Close to the the same allocation as Wolves, so anyone with that (and others) should be sound, hopefully!

[Shanklygates]

Arsenal "received an allocation of 4,516 tickets for this fixture.

The tickets will be located in Blocks W1, W2, X1, X2, Y1, Y1, Z1, Z2 ,  which are located in the lower tier "

So i imagine ours will be the same. I've not been there before. I assume coaches park just outside? Jumping the gun but as we should get tkts soon. Thanks

[willss]

Not long for them to get allocation sorted and sell the tickets. Don’t think they’ll have too many phases.

[Gladbach73]

Hopefully me and the wife will be ok for this Forest game. We’ve both got the aways in the Cup at Chelsea, Exeter, Plymouth, Wolves, Shrewsbury, West Ham, Bolton, Bournemouth and Blackburn Rovers. Last FA Cup tie I couldn’t get a ticket for was Wimbledon away.

Be fine on that...

Id guess at needing 4 of 4 from Wolves, Shrewsbury, Chelsea, West Ham to be guaranteed

Probs sell out on 2 of the 4 IMO

Plymouth is more recent than West Ham, but dont think either will be used.

Think what ABJ posted is correct.

Hmm doubt you'll be able to get one mate sorry

Sunday night has done me over. I waited years to get on the away ladder for this. I got West Ham, Wolves and Chelsea which were all midweek games I had to miss due to work. Even if I get this I’ll be missing out due to weekend shifts being the norm in my new job. We get over a week off every month though so can’t even book it off really without all sorts of hassle which isn’t worth it with being new. Nightmare.

[harrythedog]

Anyone know when selling criteria and details will be out?

[DOG-LFC8]

Anyone know when selling criteria and details will be out?

Surely a sale by Thursday or maybe Friday at the absolute latest. Announcement this evening or tomorrow hopefully.

Surely it's the second thing that has done you over?

[nickyd186]

Saw a post on twitter earlier that we are due to receive a reduced allocation of just over 4k on police advice
