what chance will a FCH with 3 aways (Bolton, Palace & Blackburn) and no home games have of getting a semi final ticket if we get there?

Will be nailed on I reckon as you will have 3 of the 6 matches and loads will just be on 2 matches IF we make it.

Will they include all games though? I have a ST with Blackburn (probably away as well), palace and Bolton away only. Should be 4 out of 6. Not sure whether away games will be included given the short timescales they will be dealing with.

it's all ifs and buts at this stage, wasnt sure if it was worth converting that FC to a full membership

IF we make it, of course they'll include the aways.

Surely they will have to release selling details for a potential semi final as that will only leave 7 working days (9 if you include Saturdays) before the potential semi final.

They're gonna have to send out tickets by special delivery if we get through. Although actually, they do that anyway for Wembley don't they?

they'll probably already have tickets sorted and they'll probably be at Blackburn on the night and give the tickets to a higher personal to give to the ticket office the morning after with details pre released, all that will get wrote on the ticket is aston villa v Liverpool/Blackburn, I remember everton tickets being like that for the semi the other year, had written on it Liverpool v sunderland/everton.

Better start saving the penny's just in case we get thru.

The cost of a Semi-Final ticket will rise by £3 this season and £2 next season. A ticket for The FA Cup Final will rise by £5 this season and a further £5 next season for all but the cheapest ticket, which will be frozen at £50.

Ticket prices for the 2014/15 FA Cup Semi-Final are £33, £43, £53 and £63. For the 2014/15 FA Cup Final ticket prices are £50, £70, £90 and £120.

Them final prices are a joke. A £10 increase in 2 years is taking the piss.

Pretty standard for a semi final. Drops even further for the final (about 25,000 I think)

Anyone with an away would be sorted surely....I cant afford Wembley but if we get there and I'm successful in the ballot I wouldn't say no.

STH and members with just homes should be put in the same category (but won't) with the aways the only exception

Bucke · « **Reply #463 on:** March 12, 2015, 10:53:08 am »

I've only got the homes and had assumed I'd be nailed on, until we drew with Blackburn then I realised I'd only have 2 of the 6

Why should they? A ST holder with all cup homes should always get priority over a member

Don't bite my hand off I just want to say this

If Season Tickets were easily available then I'd think they should get priority 100% as they are the loyal fans but the fact that it's impossible to get hold of one means that it's not as easy to identify who is most deserving of getting priority tickets apart from the loyal away fans.

Do the 25,000 on the ST waiting list (probably mostly members) and the people who can't even get on that list due to its closing not deserve it as much. It's not their fault they can't get a STH.

I take ST seats through the ticket exchange all the time it's not like they all go the game

To be a STH doesn't mean as much as it once was as there are plenty of other loyal fans willing to take there place

Just my opinion

Max of 39,000 who went to Bolton and Blackburn at home.
I doubt there are many who have just recorded the aways.
As Blackburn sold out on March 5, after it went to ST with 0, Members with 0 and then General Sale you would think maybe 35,000 max had two?
This article says 25,000 season ticket holders - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-reveal-season-ticket-6858841.
Bearing in mind not every STH will have gone to both, you would assume those STHs who have should qualify with the two home games for semi and final.

A membership is for how many games you like. I know people who only buy memberships for the cup comps. Why should these be thrown in the same selling bracket as St holders?

The club does not offer cross competition loyalty.....a ST is for home Premier league games....that's why for example 2 cup credits should be 2 credits across the board regardless of one's status...lets move on...as I said a pointless discussion

Yeah sorry, I should have added that apart from those with 3 or more, seasies with just both homes will be guaranteed for the semi final but not the final IF we get there IMO.

Its always disgusting to see those figures.

32k X 2 - 64K in a 90k capacity stadium means almost one third of all tickets for the semi wont go to the clubs in it.

the fact this increases to almost half of the tickets for the final not going to the finalists and its frankly on a par with MPs and bankers taking the piss

quinny · « **Reply #473 on:** March 12, 2015, 01:04:44 pm »

We've got a quarter-final replay in four weeks time and people are having a discussion on whether ST's and members should be in the same boat for possible final tickets. That's impressive, even for RAWK.

That's ridiculous, 26,000 people who aren't arsed about who wins. That middle section in Wembley always annoys me when I see it on tele, all the corporate wankers that don't even take their seat till 10 minutes into each half. Should just give each team 50% of tickets

About time the FA ensured more tickets go to fans of the actual participating teams - and they could still reward the volunteers and 'football family' (regional county FA's, school FA's, all the competing teams, VIPs etc) by giving them England tickets instead...

Exactly. What fucks me off is when I hear people who haven't gone the match in years, or ever, brag that they'll get a ticket to the final should we get there, cos their brother-in-law gets em through the FA or something.

One of the main reasons I nearly jibbed it off a few years ago after Kenny's last season. I had been to every game in the competition and was thrown into a ballot because there was no aways that season and before the draw was made a lad from footie was bragging that he had 2 tickets from work through a sponsor. He hadn't set foot in Anfield for years. Its just wrong.

Luckily I got a ticket for the final, but I know someone who went to all games leading up to the final that season who didn't get one through the club. As always, he got one elsewhere but the fact that he had to do that was ridiculous.
