Just shows it’s a thankless task ? Guess much more of an expectation if you have a ST. I’m not frustrated for myself as such, I never expected one. Just think it’s an interesting point about so many fans not having a chance from now on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I know people selling it through reselling websites are terrible people, but where do I stand morally buying through a reseller? Would that make me a terrible person? Thinking of biting the bullet, yes its expensive but so were all the away days I've been to. I've been to Plymouth away midweek (the longest journey in English professional football.), flown across Europe (after calling in sick) to see an unimportant premier league match at West Ham, had a season ticket despite living hundreds of miles away for years. Gave it up out as a personal protest at MA, despite knowing it would mean losing my loyalty points which I wanted to cling on to. Given this, is buying an over inflated ticket so bad? Its not like Its going to a random punter, I've put in the miles, attended the soul-searching defeats (including to lower league clubs in the cub and the hard-to-get-to grounds in the Championship) and lived and breathed this club all my life.

Holloway Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 No chance I'd watch the final in the Man U end ,rather be in the pub. I was in with the Sheff U lot at Old Trafford and got gobbed on and a smack in the back of the head when we scored ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that something you or others wouldn’t have realised if we ever got to a Cup Final? Every well supported club faces the same issue when Cup Final allocations range between 26-33K. Id actually see the way the club chose to do it on this occasion as a massive encouragement that you and others in a similar boat will get a chance as small as it might be. That’s why you’ve so many disappointed ST holders that took it for granted they’d get one regardless of Cup attendance. Thought it was quite a bold decision to hold 3% back for none ST holders for such a big game. Edited February 15, 2023 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it worked but the comfy seats Vs Leicester were empty and I can guarantee those ticket holders are among some complaining about the ballot process.

Not sure how you lads feel about it but it's extremely common for sporting events and concerts. I used to head down to the stadium the morning of a game (NFL) and I always found a ticket from someone on a street corner selling handfuls. Usually way over face value but sometimes well under if the game just started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forced as such, as I think you can opt out (believe the Glazers did make it compulsory at one point, but it’s since been changed). However, if you do opt out, you’re down the pecking order in situations like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the league cup is usually a chance for kids to get to their 1st ever game but will definitely be less availability after all this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulH Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I have one official Wembley Car Park ticket for the Final in the Pink Car Park set aside for Toon supporters. It cost me £40 but I have now made other arrangements. Happy to pass it on via e-mail for £20. Message me if interested. I will have to change the car registration number on the ticket from mine to yours. First come, first served. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCOCOL Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 If it’s anything like the euros final getting in without a ticket won’t be too difficult… seriously I’m joking but I’ll guess we will see what protocols other than the van on screening the match within a mile of the ground they’ve put in place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that it’s obviously disappointing if you have an ST, because you expect to get first dibs on everything. Yeah, a small chance is better than nothing. They still have a problem about how to manage demand in the future though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this brief time when fans of other clubs- including some of our own (I remember fanzine articles and posts on Skunkers)- lauded their away support. Then the team became shit and their fans have been as quiet as any other set for years. Funny that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be anything else in reality. On the positive side for those without STs getting to a Cup Final so quickly has probably made them think twice about increasing the amount of ST holders so until ground is increased it will remain 60/40 ST holders occupying the ground and then 50/50 you’d think with any ground expansion or at least closer to even. That’s a lot of potential league and home cup tickets up for grabs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it would be unusual of course. I wasn’t thinking they would sell any more STs until after expansion, they can’t really. That would lock people out of even home games.
