Anderson Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Nothing that I'm sure hasn't been said before I'm sure, but it reads to me as if the first 3 pots are bankers, 4 will probably be balloted and the rest are probably out of luck! Unless, as SteV says, they're holding back nominal amounts for people in the remaining pots (as they do with general sale tickets). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems to me that we all know if they don’t hold any back, they sell out before pot 6. So what was the point of having that pot? PR to make it seem like they were including everyone? I don’t know, I just feel like they might hold a small number back to go each of the ballots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just to guard against the unlikely situation that some ST holders don't take up their tickets. Easier to plan it all out under one communication in case there's a few left over.

Have they not been allocated as the "home" team, i.e. getting the home dressing room, etc.? They've had their name first on the billing since qualifying, as Chelsea did last year, and they were the "home team" in the tie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see how they could hold any back really for any pots, imagine you are in say pot 4 and don't get a ticket then you find out someone in pot 6 or 7 has been given one despite going to less games, would be hell on. They obviously have enough for the first 3 pots and then after that they aren't sure so have had to split them all, my guess is looking at demand it will sell out in pot 4.

Given my vested interest in the allocation reaching pot 6, I'm probably deluding myself, but there must be some people in pots 1 to 6 who can't go and/or don't want to go? I know it's a cup final, but there's bound to be attrition of some kind. Or so I keep telling myself... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 As a pot 6'er myself I have resigned myself to watching it in pub somewhere, unless they're holding some back for the ballot stage (which I highly doubt). To be honest, I will be shocked if it gets past pot 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent, but what chance is there of it going to pot 7 without holding any back? Absolutely none whatsoever. Not even close. They would know that.
