LFEE Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 My ticket has just landed in the post (P1). Hoping the fact I’m in the “red zone” isn’t an omen ? Entry time slot 15:30-16:00. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it'd just be transparent given they've not achieved this for what...18 years (a trip to a neutral stadium). There's a while generation of fans that wouldn't have had a clue...

gdm Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Would be funny if everyone started buying up cup tickets with no intention of going ‘loyalty’ eh then the club changed the way they distribute final tickets this ticket argument is part interesting and part really boring. As many have said the main issue is how many tickets are available to people that aren’t fans of the finalists. Club Wembley? What a lot of bollocks Edited February 15, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall attendance in a particular tournament ever being a determining factor for cup final tickets. I'm not saying that shouldn't be the case, but I don't remember this being the case before. Nor was it publicised. My biggest issue is that club never made the criteria clear - doing so would have saved a lot of annoyance. I don’t think any club is arrogant enough to confirm Cup Final ticket criteria before it’s reached the final. Maybe I’m wrong and there are those that do? If you are ever hoping to get a cup final ticket you should always be in the mindset of giving yourself the best chance and not wait on others to. So if you’ve a ST for example and not used it to buy your seats for earlier games you were always running a risk and going forward you will know that risk is real.

J7 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 There's never a perfect way to allocate tickets. I don't really agree with the huff that ST holders are always the most loyal though. I gave up mine when Bruce came in, and it was pure luck I got into the first 1000 in the queue in the summer. I'm probably not any more deserving than many members. You'll also get those who spend thousands on travel every year to get to SJP, but cannot make midweek games due to public transport or work or whatever so will struggle for cup games. The last train north is before 10pm from what I remember. Personally think the loyalty points system needs overhauled as you certain people controlling tens of tickets. There are people with 50+ loyalty points who've barely been away, but what can you do. There'll never be a perfect system. We could go on and on about the fairness of any system or allocation of tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
