SPARTA From the image RFC posted on Twatter, it's a straight 31k each and the rest Wembley Members.


Wembley holds 90k and there are 17k Club Wembley seats leaving 73k. Playoff finals get the lot which is why we had 37k for that but for the FA Cup the FA pinch some. This time it looks as if that is about 9k

Arsenal are moaning about their 32k but I guess you can understand that given they have 45k season ticket holders

Another reason why STH's need to be given a +1 - otherwise as soon as they go on general sale they will be snapped up by Arsenal fans, meaning we will have shed loads of them in "our end"

You really think that when we were in the Prem, or had big cup games, there weren't plenty of membership cards taken out by fans of other teams.....
The club may well decide to suspend cards that have not been used for some time though....

Royality creeps In Should be the fans that supported the team away at Huddersfield, Cardiff and Derby that get first dibs. They supported the club in the less than glamorous ties, be they ST Holders whatever. Each should get one ticket

Next it should be ST Holders with one per ST

Then it should be down to Royalty points.

This is fair and ensures loyal regular fans get their tickets.

Annoys me when glory hunters suddenly come out of the woodwork and start bitching about not getting a ticket.

This is a stupid idea, because at most it caters to a few thousand fans, most of whom would be catered for by another system, and makes the majority of STHs, who reliably put (in most cases) more money into the club, wait unnecessarily to get theirs.

There's no way all Xk STHs will buy 2 tickets each. And even if they do, it still leaves >5k tickets, with loads of the spares blatantly going to non-STHs with good point levels, so no problem there.

You'll probably be fine down to 500 points and I wouldn't be surprised if a few squeek through to general sale.

Not only does the system have to be reasonably fair (thereby rewarding those who put in the most) but also simple and easy to structure and implement.

What about those who trekked up north in the early rounds, when the majority couldn't be bothered.
Do you not think they should be rewarded?

Does not make any difference to me as I am a STH

Just putting it out there for those non STH who made the effort

TBM How many did we take to the play off final? I remember tickets being pretty easy to get for everyone


Almost certain we had 39,000 and something tickets, Swansea had slighty more maybe by about 1000. So in the 90,000 capacity stadium that meant there was 10,000 corporate tickets, I wonder how many more there will be this time?


so we've got 31,500! Assuming Arsenal have the same thats means there's more than 25,000 corporate tickets? What an absolute joke.

Like I said, how many both don't have STs and don't have lots of points? And why should they be prioritised over people who put £££s direct into the club. And how do you distinguish between those who trekked up and those who are exiled up there so didn't put in much effort to go?

I would like a ticket and am willing to get quite angry about it.

Can I have one?

But the club won't have a record of those that went to earlier round games if the tickets weren't bought through them. The games we had were hardly sell outs and so tickets would have been available on the day.

They will know how many went to each game, and how many tickets we sold so they could at least assess how many people would moan on HNA if they did prioritise people who went to the away games.
They could also possibly see how many tickets they sold to to non STH....
