I’ve had a major cock up.

[Mstrobez]

Bit embarrassed to even be writing this. But as someone who’s been using these forums for some time, I guessed what better place to post it?

I’m 30 and have been attending Palace since I was a baby. Have a long history on this forum even if it doesn’t display all of that after the update! Have had season tickets, memberships etc but in the last couple of seasons I haven’t. I’ve still attended pretty regularly in this time, home and away but mostly through friends or getting tickets on BBS/Hol!

Once we got to the quarter final I knew it would be wise to get a membership sorted but I just wasn’t able to at the time. Then in the Semis, it was relatively straight forward to get a ticket through someone else. Naively I just assumed I could go the same route for the final, but it’s very quickly dawned on me this won’t be the case.

I know this is my cock up to own and I’m sure I’m not the only one in the same boat and I’m not anymore important than them. But I'm just putting this out there early doors in the hope someone somewhere might be able to help me out. If you are, I’d be extremely grateful. I would be absolutely devastated to not go.

Might be worth visiting the Box Office.

You could try the internet ticketing sites. I understand they will also help you release equity in your house. 🙂

I think everyone with a season ticket has a very long queue of people asking them about final tickets

Good luck

Memberships are still on sale at the moment. Why not pick one up now? I'd say if you have a previous history with your client reference you should have no bother?

I'm not a season ticket holder, just a member, and was getting calls on the way home after Saturday's game from people asking if I could get them a ticket for the final. Even my granddaughter, who always accompanies me to games, also got endless calls, and was offered lots of money from her boyfriend's dad if she sold him her final ticket, should she get one.. The boyfriend and his family are all West Ham *spit* fans, cheeky gits.

My and my granddaughter's answer to all who asked, and who are yet to still ask....No. Bloody. Chance.

Almost certain they won't accept memberships purchased after the semi-final

Unsurprisingly that's been precisely my experience so far! So I'm just exhausting every avenue I guess. Not expecting anything but would be daft not to put it out there.

If it generates revenue for the club they will accept newer memberships.

Well, as a member of Hol since 2013, and with upward of 2thousand posts, at least you have a chance that if someone can't make it they will think of you...... plenty of time for people to be unwell, have crises or anything else........

Forest, a very skillfull way of saying that ticketing sites are expensive.

From the Palace ticketing page regarding Final tickets:

To be eligible for the above phases, all Memberships and upgraded Memberships must have been purchased prior to 21st April 2025, and have had a previous purchase history since before 29th March 2025.

So buying a Membership now isn't going to help anyone get a ticket for the Final.

I brought a Golden Member on 27/04 before Cup Final tickets instructions were released, having ignored the 21/04 limitation for semi final tickets. I was a guest of someone else at the semi final, so thought nothing of it. Upon receipt I was told there was no welcome packs left so benefits were limited and then the Cup Final tickets instructions were released putting me out in the cold.

I asked for a refund which was granted - good gesture.

Now I'll have to beg, borrow, steal or watch in a pub....Hey ho, but at least I got to watch the semi final.

Good luck to you all on securing a seat.

Hospitality tickets for the semi ranged from £250-750 so there are means of getting a ticket. If we win this thing I know I would get there via whatever means. There maybe a slim chance of a ticket becoming available but likely illness would be covered via family or close friends.
