Cup final tickets

Anyone any experience of an adult (40s) using a 65+ concession ticket? Trying to work out if likely to be an issue.

I did that at west ham before at a neutral game and a light went off to say it was a concession one. Steward stopped me and I was lucky not be chucked out and gave a "sob" story 😅

Usually it's not a problem at selhurst....

Maybe wear a wig and a fake grey beard and a walking stick and it will be fine.

That's fair enough, but FA Cups final seats aren't the same value as England v Albania.

At Palace you get back the same amount back regardless of who the opposition is. Trying to turn football into a "value pricing" model is highly capitalistic and encourages greed. Feeling so strongly about this matter, I have written to the FA today about it. Value pricing meets ticket touting

Understandable as it's Premier League or Premier League.

FA Cup final is the biggest game at Wembley and can't be compared to an England friendly.

Lower bowl for England is £25, Saturday is £50

So only maybe getting £300 for an England friendly ie fair value, but look to make 'hay whilst the sunshines' for the FA Cup final - trying to bag £800 for that one? 🙄

Wembley and Palace are two completely different entities! Besides, each week Palace tickets get snapped up on ticket resale websites priced higher than the season ticket price per game.

Ain't nobody getting £300 for a friendly. The official Wembley website states minimum £275+15% admin fee up to £825, so £800 for 2 isn't majorly over the top.

You are massively missing the point Penge, it doesnt matter the occasion it should be Wembley re-selling the ticket not allowing members to make some dosh. I have written to the FA and separately to our FAB asking for the whole Club Wembley corporate touting fiasco to be investigated. Its taking football down a bad route encouraging obscene rip off prices. Not good. Enough said.
 
The issue of who should have priority on tickets is a very emotional subject for many of the members on the site.
Everyones cicumstances are different and we should all be aware that for some having a season ticket is a great asset for many.
My circum stances changed two seasons ago after supporting Palace for many years (67 years to be precise) but due to health and a couple of bad experiances traveling to matches from my home in Gosport I reluctantly gave up my season ticket.
I decided that I would attend as many matches as I could so took the Gold membership with the view that I could keep in touch with everything that was happening at Selhurst. Nowing that I would have a
e. Programme for every match and that when I could I would be able to Purchase a ticket for the matches I could attend.
I have an accumalation of circa 7000 loyality points.
So please do not tar us all with the same brush.
Does not matter who you are or how many matches you actually attend we are all the same and Palace is in our DNA and always will be.

UP THE PALACE see you at Wembley on Saturday. (Because as a Gold member I was entitled to purchase a Ticket)
 
It is showing me as a new member of The Holmesdale but I have been a member for many years its just that when they recently changed the site I was unable to log in with my old name which was Pompy Eagle.
Hence the change to Turktown Eagle (Turktown is Local nickname for Gosport)
 
Looking for single final ticket. Am usually on bbs forum but have used this forum way back when - went to semi, but stupidly didn't have a gold membership this season.

If anyone has a spare leading up please let me know, thank you!
 
Here is my deal - I paid £1200 on a sell-on website for 3 tickets at the back. This was the only way I could be sure that my two kids could come with me (they are both members). This is a mark up of about £900, and something I really couldn't afford!

I then bought a single ticket on my gold membership, on the waiting list for £270 (a really good ticket near the front). I could (and perhaps should) offer this at face value to a Palace fan. But there is an understandable temptation to try a recoup a couple of hundred quid extra, after having shelled out so much initially. Tickets in the same block are now being listed at £700 on sell-on sites. It's a difficult position to be in.

I am so grateful that I will be able to be there with my kids on such a special day for Palace, but the cost is high.
