One of my colleagues wants to go to Manchester for the Villa game in April.
Whats the best way to get tickets?
He managed to buy some overpriced ticket for this game.
Now since the CP game has been moved, he can go there aswell.
Can somebody please tell me how to get a ticket for this game?
Is it possible to buy one in front of the stadium, or is there a better way?
I have never bought a ticket before as I was always invited by friends.
Since he travels from Hong Kong, he is very nervous and would like to be sure to get into the game.
Any help please?

Hi mate. I'm selling a pair. I'm away on holiday so will be a favour for us both. I'm a season ticket holder so will send you the cards. Will accept PayPal.
Had an email today, saying if we beat West Ham Wednesday, all season ticket holders and execs can enter the ballot due to short turnover time before the semi. (9/10 days?)
Am presuming that means opt outers can get involved?
Should be fairly good odds, what is it? 30,000 tickets, for say 50,000 season ticket holders, and a few thousand execs? And that's if all of them even go into the ballot.
Just need to win first!
What about membership holders?
Thought they couldn't apply for domestics game once they had opted out?Had an email today, saying if we beat West Ham Wednesday, all season ticket holders and execs can enter the ballot due to short turnover time before the semi. (9/10 days?)

Will get a minimum of 31000 tickets for the Semi final against Everton at Wembley, should that be enough to guarantee all season ticket holders a ticket, even those who opted out of the League Cup and Europa League?
I opted in to both but want to apply with a mate who didn't do either.
Thought that would just apply to the final. I think Europa League opt outs won't be an issue as 10000s looked to have done it for our last 32 game. The LC might be another case though.If you opted out, can you even apply? I thought you couldn't
You have to apply in the ballot. Opens at 11pm tonight for 24 hours only. Same for all season ticket holders.Four of us want to go to the semi final. We're all season tickets opted in to absolutely everything.
Should we be okay applying as a four together or would two and two significantly increase our chances?

Ah okay. So how many tickets can each member apply for? I assumed it was 1 each?He knows that, he's asking what gives the better chance, 1 application with 4, or 2 applications with 2!
Any stats fans?
I'd probbo say apply as a 4, as if 2 don't get them you'd be bloody gutted/jealous etc!
Ah okay. So how many tickets can each member apply for? I assumed it was 1 each?
It is one each, but we're wanting to apply for 4 and we all have season tickets.
Think you'd have 100% chance applying as a 4 if you've all opted in to all games this season. The final could be a different scenario but with the amount of tickets we're getting I'm pretty sure all season ticket holders who want a ticket will get one.
Gotcha, sorry, I got confused.It is one each, but we're wanting to apply for 4 and we all have season tickets.
Not sure, just presumed there would be favour to those who attended all cup games but maybe I'm wrong. I think tickets will end up going to members after the initial 24 hours.I thought it's a straight forward ballot. I didn't think there was any biasing towards credits/opt ins etc?
Hope your last line is true though.

I think with it being a semi final (rather than the final) and the mixed bag of performances we've had this season, plus the 24 hour limit and the amount of people who just don't travel to games other than Old Trafford I think there'll be a few that go to members. Everton are getting 31000 tickets so we'll get at least that. I think the 5.15pm kickoff will put some off too as that's a tough one to get home from.Wow, you reckon they might not all be taken up?
I'd be annoyed if I was an opter in...if I didn't get one, while opt outs did.
I opt out, as I think a potential 4-6 extra midweek games would be too awkward for me to sort, living 180miles away. I know the risk is no semi/finals, so this is very much an unexpected chance!
The website already has a 60 minute queue and the ballot isn't even open for another hour. Can't see many being left if it keeps up this demand.Wow, you reckon they might not all be taken up?

Yeah it is a ballot but what I'm pointing at is that the demand seems to be there rather than people forgetting about it. I still think we have a good chance though.It is a ballot though. Doesn't matter if people apply at start or end. although most will try and smash it early doors.
I'm gonna get some kip and try at 6am
Following the thrilling win in our 6th round replay game against West Ham United, we have qualified for the FA Cup Semi-Final against Everton.
We have received an allocation of 31,606 tickets which are priced £30, £40, £50 and £60. A £10 discount will be applied to any Under 16, 16-17, 18-20 or 65 and over Season Ticket holders.
Applications are now open for all Season Ticket holders and Executive Club Members. Due to the incredibly short turnaround between now and the semi-final, applications will only be open until 11pm tomorrow night; Thursday 14th April. The ballot will begin immediately after applications close and is expected to take up to 36 hours to complete.
Priority for match tickets will be given to those supporters with the highest number of home cup matches purchased this season. Therefore those supporters who have purchased all 10 home cup games will get priority over those with 9, and those with 9 home cup matches will have priority over those with 8, and so on.This season you have purchased 9 out of 10 home cup games.
If you make an application with supporters who have purchased tickets for different numbers of home cup games, tickets will be allocated based on the lowest figure. For example, if you have purchased tickets for 10 home cup games and your friend has purchased 9, tickets will be allocated to your application based on 9 home cup games.
