Cup final tickets

It’ll depend on how many returns there are. So it’s not necessarily going to be the same amount, if anything.
Re: “If anything”, this was posted in one of the City forums, which sums up why there are returns each year for teams that don’t have a following in all parts of the country..

“It happens every year. Local FA's ("The football family") get an allocation of tickets that they can buy. These are located at various price points in a clubs half of the stadium. They offer them to all local FA's and give them a choice of which end.

Any unsold get given back to the clubs to sell which is what this extra allocation is.”

I’d be surprised if FA affiliates outside of South London will be clamouring to use allocated tickets for this final, so I am confident you’ll get an extra allocation at some point soon.

I’m pretty confident we will as well. What I’m saying is, there’s no guarantee we’ll get the same amount. Locally it’s a pretty historic game for Palace.
 
I went to the semi’s and had a blast. I also went to the 2016 final and my voice hasn’t recovered from screaming at Clattenburg for not allowing us that advantage when we scored.

Anyway.. as an ordinary season ticket x 3, I went online an hour late with phase 2, second day and the only tickets available for 3 next to each other were very far back. I hummed and arred but decided against it. Cost was also a factor.

Instead we’re having a barbi and watching at home. Not quite the same but we’ll all have great fun. Up the Palace.

Enjoy..
 
You are talking complete and utter bollocks based on absolutely nothing other than some meaningless rant.
So you would say for example, someone who has held a season ticket for 40+ years has no more right to a cup final ticket, than someone who purchases a gold membership for a season or two while we're in the Premier League.
That doesn't make sense
 
Sorry, I have to take issue with this post. I've been a Gold Member ever since the club introduced it. I've also been an ST holder as well. Now, I, like others live abroad, so why can't we have the chance to get a ticket? Just because you seem to think we are 'fairweather' fans, for most of us, that is not the case. We & I use that term colloquialy, still get to SP as n when we can, does that make us less of a supporter?

FYI, I have got a ST for this season & 7980 points, I got my ticket thankfully in phase 2. Please think before you slag us Gold Members off, when you have no clue.

Rant over. COYP.
Have to agree with the sentiment. Make it to probably around 10 games a season altogether home and away. However as I was, amongst others, in Doncaster I can barely feel guilty for getting a ticket now. Having said that I do agree ST holders should come first

You are right, it doesn't make sense. Yes, you should have been able to get a ticket. Yes, the selling phase was unfair.

But don't blame those with only a season or two of gold membership getting a ticket instead of you, because it was the phasing of the sale phases dreamed up by the club that allowed them to get their tickets. What were Gold Members supposed to do, wait a while before logging on a for a ticket so those above them in the pecking order can get their's first? Of course not, they had the chance to get tickets, they got them.

Blame the idiot who dreamed up the phase sales, not the people who took advantage of a flawed system.

Good for you mate, you’re a better man than me, if I lived where you do that would be my lot, I wouldn’t be flying over for any game, I’d be quite happy to relax on my sunbed and leave all the desperate scramble and civil war for tickets behind me 🤣😎
 
Wrong.
Most Gold members are fair weather fans, who cherry pick which games they go to .
Putting them in the same category as supporters who've held season tickets for decades is just plain wrong.
Case closed.
Fair weather, how the feck do you know? I've been a member for donkeys years and would love to be a ST holder, but guess what, they're expensive and people have work and family commitments. I've over 3K points and do about half of home and plenty of away days - would have had no bother if the club had tied the tiers to points. The saltiness here after giving us literally well over the capacity of our own stadium is poor.
