The Club has made it clear that should the Club reach a major Cup Final, it will adopt a one ticket per person policy, throughout the priority sales period. Whilst it is indeed the case that the Club is likely to receive a smaller allocation for the FA Cup Final than the Carling Cup Final, this allocation is not as small as you suggest and should be more than sufficient to ensure that all Season ticket holders who require a ticket are able to purchase one, provided they do so during the priority sales period.
The Club has also made it clear that all season ticket applications will be date stamped upon receipt and processed in the strict order in which they are received.
Finally, the Club does retain accurate season ticket holder history and can introduce an additional layer of priority, should this prove neccessary, in the unlikely event that the Club receives insufficient tickets to satisfy all season ticket holders. The presentation of ticket stubs from earlier rounds also presents the Club with the opportunity to create a further layer of priority should it choose to do so, and it is for this reason that the Club has advised supporters to retain all ticket stubs from earlier rounds.
Full details of the ticket application policy will be widely publicised, should the Club progress to the Semi-final or Final of the FA Cup.
