Cup final tickets

clive_j said:
I cannot believe what a joke this process is. I have had a season ticket for 30 years. I called up yesterday and completely agree 1st phase should be for ticket holders with points. So called ealrier today as i work like normal people i couldnt be free till 12 noon.

On the phone for 2 hours to be told all tickets have sold out. I did swear at the poor guy not his fault but when i said how on earth do 18,ooo season ticket holders not get first dibs as only 23,ooo available.... he told me there were 30k tickets.
Every season ticket holder should have the oppertunity to get to this game with no questions asked i know im barking up a tree that makes no difference no bit im fuming. Gold memebers should not go on sale the same day as season ticket holders end of.

I do know roy hodgson and gary lineker so i may be able to still get a ticket through them but i am furious as im not out to get tickets through special favours.

Rant over haha

That's a fair rant.Trouble is after the Fulham game the glory hunters who have probably never set foot at Selhurst Park before bought gold memberships.The cut off point for a ticket should have been before the FA Cup started not April the effin 21st. I've been going regularly since 1969. Barely missed a game but never had a season ticket and only a standard member and as it stands I'm totally f***** Fingers crossed we get some more from Wembley and City and we can get a ticket. Good luck mate

City tickets are almost sold out and it’s not even reached members yet so be no chance of any tickets coming back from that definitely be some returns from the Fa though

Which frankly I think is "fair" as otherwise the starting time limit is useless. Or it should be made clear when the queue starts. But why on earth no trapped system with eligibility based on points? And possibly also a booking for previous cup games included in the conditions. It took days for the semi to sell out even after it was open to all.

And for all you ST holders; agree you should be guaranteed a seat before "Gold" members. It's common sense.

You’re ranting about how unfair the process was, well is it fair that messers Hodgson and Lineker might have tickets to give out when fans of both teams are missing out?

To be fair I’m pretty sure it did say in the waiting room, you’ll be randomly assigned.

I agree with everyone gold should’ve been phase 3 and even then the cutoff is way too late, should’ve been 3rd round when cup started!

But no point complaining now, it’s done. Hope everyone who doesn’t have a ticket finds a solution
 
Hi all, my window was tommorow bloody gutted. Regret not having one of the more upgraded memberships. I get it that ST holders get priority etc. I go to the games outside London towards the North as often as I can.

If anyone happens to end up with a spare they’re flogging at Face Value please let me know.

It was Palace in the 1990 cup final got me hooked as a youngster up here in the Midlands. Not many Palace fans round here !

Looked on one of the legal ticket sites and they had over 1600 tickets available,. Where did they get that amount from?
Just asking.

The touts and the agents from the ticket agencies have all plenty memberships of next to every major club They pay the memberships from petty cash. Think that's the main problem at events like these. Glad I got my ticket today.

Some are coming from club Wembley members who are entitled to tickets for any event at Wembley. You don’t need to look far…they are on here selling them !
 
Well I've been to 3 of 6 FA CUP semi finals and we won them all. Missed the 3 we lost.
My final record is not so good - the draw and two losses in finals. Maybe a good thing for you all I cant get a ticket this time! 😉
Used to have a season ticket when I lived in Kent years ago. attended 45 matches in our 89 promotion year.
I'm a member only - only match this season the semi and delighted to have at least made that - though I do live near Londonderry NI so hardly local. Get it that others who attend currently should be before me. Will be thrilled if we win it but forever gutted not to have got a gold membership with my son! Best of luck to everyone hunting tickets.
 
Also looking for 1 ticket. Travelling on my own from Dublin the morning of the game and will be scrambling to catch a flight after….if anyone has any leads would be much appreciated 🇮🇪
 
Hi I’ve got 3 club Wembley tickets. In the west side which is the palace end.
I bought these memberships as it was the only way I could get a nufc final ticket. I’m only trying to recoup some of the very high membership costs.
Will take 600 per ticket. There isn’t a face value as such but the guide price provided by Wembley is up to 825 + 15% handling.

Hello Palace fans, huge congratulations on making the final!

City fan here...I have tickets through England for the Final. Only down side (for me) is that this time they are in the Palace end. I bet you're all lovely but I don't want to sit in the Palace end and I doubt you lot want me there either.

So...I'm on here to swap my 2 £115 tickets with any Palace fan that has 2 in the City end, I don't care if yours cost £50 or where they are in the ground either, as long as they are in the City end.

I am also working on getting some with the City fans and if I do I'll sell them to any Palace fan for face value.

Also based in London and they are paper tickets so would need to meet in person.

Any questions please shoot me a DM.

Cheers.

This is what football is all about.
 
Just read this, and realised I have no chance of a ticket today...sad.
I was a season ticket holder along with my son for many years, I have been to the other two Cup finals, along with playoffs.
I am hoping that I am the FA cup final jinks, and that my non attendance will make the difference.

I hope that anyone going has the best of days, I know you will all make me proud with the sights and sounds while I watch in the pub surrounded by supporters of loads of different teams, most of which I'm sure will be wishing Palace well.

I agree that season ticket holders should have first dips over any memberships, even thou that means I miss out.

Anyway, all you going please think of us, and maybe raise a glass, as we will be watching with jealousy and admiration of the spectacle.

Really feel that we have a really good chance, and am gutted not to be there "when Marc goes up to lift the FA cup"
