It's my local...

I'm in Cheadle Hulme, which qualifies as Cheshire... just

I get the feeling a lot of people also won't trust the net or phone and will go on Sunday in person.

All 4 semi teams seem to be following different rules. Stoke are being told they aren't selling any tickets in the side sections nearest the segregation yet, because Wembley stipulate that if one team doesn't sell out and another requires more, they can extend the allocation from one team into another. Which doesn't tie in with the fact we are selling tickets in block 527 , etc, as these are potentially the blocks that Stoke will get if we don't sell and Stoke need more. As we don't actually see our tickets till they go out in a couple of weeks, do we 100% get the seats that are named in the booking confirmation, or can they shunt us around if they need to allocate Stoke more?

On the other hand though, the Stoke fans who queue up are getting the actual tickets in their hands today... http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Potters&action=display&thread=155148

Cheshire certainly is a big place. Warrington/Widnes/Runcorn - that's not proper Cheshire, too many scousers. Nantwich/Middlewich - you're nearer to Stoke, why not go down with the Stoke fans.. .

Current availability as of 9.02am..

They are also grumbling that they cannot choose where they sit, and apparently neither can Utd/City. Someone on a Stoke forum has posted Wembley policy that seats will not be allocated or can be chosen, so they're all confused as to why we were able to.

Sorted, 3 together in block 528.

My progress bar gets to 90% then drops back to about 80%, creeps up to 90 then does it again. Anyone else getting this?

I think you just pick the price you want to pay, the actual allocation of which seats you get will go on after the sales are over in a couple of weeks. In case one team doesn;t sell and the other needs more tickets, they can't allocate the seats near the segregation bit yet... Or maybe not, I'll find out when this bar gets to the end in about 10 hours... ;(

Apologies if this has been posted before... How can a twat turn into an even bigger twat.. By doing this..

They've changed it back to 9.30am again... http://www.bwfc.co.uk/staticFiles/d5/6e/0,,1004~159445,00.pdf

Man City have no online sales either... Postal applications will not be accepted for the Semi Final and supporters cannot buy tickets online. http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Tickets-and-Travel/2011/March/~/media/Files/cup_faqs_v2.ashx We've never had it so good!

just start saying "could of" instead of "could have" and they'll think you're a Stokie no problem... Stuff an oatcake in yer mouth whilst singing Delilah and you'll walk in anywhere they're assigned

Are we all just assuming that ST holders will be guaranteed a ticket for the final if we get there? I can't see it not being the case, but it's not been confirmed (and quite right too, don't want the club to put a kiss of death on things discussing the final arrangements yet...) I wonder if there would be any kind of priority within ST holders though. Am I right in thinking when we went to the Carling Cup final v Boro, it was people who had ST more than X years who had first priority? I'm sure it was

Will do. Want some tickets for the Final as well? http://www.1st4footballtickets.com/Tickets/SelectTickets.aspx?Q=YB%2b2hte0SqxeIIXo%2bzs75Q%3d%3d

Review of that website... http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews230283.html

http://www.1st4footballtickets.com/Tickets/SelectTickets.aspx?Q=xbdLahFBwHLyyM8IExaKSg%3d%3d cheapest is ?175.50 at the moment...

Stoke fan at work said when they beat us 2-0 at their place, Holden was the worst player on the pitch by far, too lightweight and ineffective against their "style of play". So maybe, just maybe, for the Semi it's not that bad a thing. Disaster for the rest of the season though.

If you go to the eticketing website and go through the process of buying a seat for the Bolton v West Ham game, it shows a map of the Reebok, you then pick a tier and it shows you the blocks, you then pick a block.. As the eticketing we use is run by Ticketmaster, I would expect to see the same thing on Thursday..

Nil, as they don't go on sale till lunchtime... http://www.bwfc.co.uk/staticFiles/b4/6e/0,,1004~159412,00.pdf

It was 3 per ST against Boro though wasn't it? I seem to remember the chap in the queue in front of me getting 6 with 2 STs

Well that's beside the point really, as there's only 5 you can choose from with Davies being the only BW player. So it has to be...

I don't think the BW ticket office has anything to do with the tickets, they all come from the FA (with names printed on the tickets to stop them ending up with touts, being sold on ebay, etc). BW is just responsible for providing a list to the FA of where to send them Hence the reason why even queuing in person you still just get a receipt and not a ticket.
