Allocation for final is 28,000 £45, £65, £85 and £115. The fa are charging ridiculous amounts.

Does that count for official members aswell or just season ticket holders? Im hoping members can also enter.

I don't think they can. Priority is given to season ticket holders who have 10/10 home cup matches.

I'd imagine members will get nothing for the final

Guy in front of me at the game reckoned we got 30k tickets for the semi and Everton 36k. Does anyone know for certain how it ended> Thought a text had said 31,000+?

Chances of ballot success with 6 credits? Slightly lower than today of course..
 
Anyone have a pair for Bournemouth? I have a single for myself but my brother in law is coming to see me after ages that weekend and would love to take him to the game. Will then return my single.
 
Guys,
Is anyone applying for the final tickets just to sell it on or is applying but not sure of going? I am willing to buy tickets if someone wants to sell.
What can I do to get in touch with people on the caf looking to sell on once the tickets are awarded?
Thanks and Regards,
Raj
 
Ticket help needed for the Bournemouth game.
Number of tickets needed: 2 to 5. I know a total of 5 is difficult to get. So people with 2 or 3 or 5 tickets kindly ping me. I am sure we can work on this.
Stand preference: Stretford. Other stands will do.
Confirmation: One VISA has been applied for, trip will be sorted during the first week of may. Others are already in London.
Registeration of names needed? : Last season, when 4 of us went to watch the United Vs West Brom game at OT. @Sultan had helped me with the tickets. And he had ensured that the tickets we got were registered on our names for that particular match. Let me know if that is a must, will confirm the names(based on that one VISA application in process) if required.
Kindly get in touch.
Regards,
Raj
 
Some people don't like it, as you do have scammers knocking about (easily avoided though imo) but I've found twitter brilliant for getting United tickets.

Id imagine that the allocation will be taken completely by 10/10 credits and the execs.

Any idea on stats of how many season ticket holders/execs we have?
Presume the 1 1/2 day ballot period caught some people out for the semi, as well as maybe people being put off by the long trip/expense "just" for a semi then?

The semi was also very short notice due to the replay so I imagine there will be a lot more apps for the final

yep, that 1 1/2 day ballot midweek could be so easily missed.


To be honest, the are very up front with the risk that if you "Opt out" you can very easily miss out on big games, so I'm very much taking the semi final as a bonus, and wouldn't have even though I could apply. For me, having to schedule/sort out another 4 or more midweek cup ties is too much hassle to risk. The Palace game, and just about shifting them was a real wakeup

Winning it is all that matters now.
 
Even with 10/10 for the FA cup, how likely is it to get a final ticket in the ballot, surely they should give priority to those who went to the semi's as well (although I thought our fans were pretty shocking compared to everton's)

I have the same question, wondering if its worth trying through the ballot if not are there other ways?

From the e-mail it sounded like they aren't taking into account the semi-final...

Having been to all 10 cup matches and the semi-final, I will be pretty peeved if I miss out on a cup final ticket in the ballot. Agreed about our fans on the day... so many people not singing or making a noise. The atmosphere was better on the concourse than it was in the stands.
 
Two tickets together available for Leicester next Sunday. Seats are in last row of NW3434 right by the stretford end.

PM if interested. Ta

SOLD.

I expect that anyone with 10/10 will get sorted

We have around 55k ST holders and many opted out of League Cup/Europa and some will not apply
 
I'm on 9/10 plus the semi (if it counts) for the final so thinking of applying for the pricier tickets which should hopefully increase my chances for the final. I assume most will apply for the cheaper bands, even though they are all expensive, and the majority of those will be taken up by 10/10 applicants. What is everyone else going to put their choices down as?

Semi doesn't count so you are on 9 which I believe should guarantee you a ticket so I wouldn't bother worrying about where you apply for to affect your chances.

I'll be going for Cat 1/2.

I used twitter to try for tickets for the first time on Saturday and had a mixed experience. Was due to meet one chap for a ticket in a pub (above face value), he turned his phone to "Do Not Disturb" and ignored my texts/calls. However it turned out for the best as I managed to pick a single up from Twitter for face value, met the seller at the agreed place and time with no bother.

As you say you will get time wasters / scammers though

I got my ticket for Saturday on twitter too for FV. A lot of the scammers/dodgy people seem obvious to me now. Been on twitter and bought/sold tickets on there long enough.
 
For the semi and final, you had/have to give first and second choice ticket values.

If you're an exec or 10/10er, and your chosen area has been sold out, do you then get allocated a different bracket?
Or do you risk missing out to a lower credit person who went into the different bracket?

Basically, is there a better chance of success if you go for the higher value tickets? Anyone have any idea?

good question - not actually sure on the answer.
I would say you probably do have a higher chance on the more expensive tickets
 
I think Cat 2 is the largest category followed by Cat 3.
 
Some news that might interest you standard people, execs if they renew by 1st may can buy double their allocation of tickets.

So if you have 7 execs and you renew you get 7 final tickets as opposed to 3 if you do not renew by 1st may.
 
Interested in a spare single for Leicester/Bournemouth (or both!). Drop me a message should you be able to help. Cheers.
 
Does anyone know which end we have for the final? Just asking because that will affect travel to the ground and which pubs are available to the United fans.

Is it only 1 final ticket per 2 execs at the moment?
Click to expand...

If you have two exec tickets in your name you will get two tickets as all home cup games were inclusive.

If you have four in your name you would only get two UNLESS you renew by 1st may, where you will now get four.

Interesting move by the club but my insider tells me renewals were non existent across the club (under 10K) so they are looking to capitalise.

We have the torch end I am told.

And we are playing as the away team.
