Won't b able to judge until members plus get online tomorrow
I managed to get one in 1980......and it was all paid for by me dad as I was only 8.....so in theory I used your approach to cup tickets......I've never seen Wolves in a cup Final so thought I best get some points in just in case we make the final!! Glory glory Wolverhampton!! Glory glory hunter!!
With more than 4k away fans it should hit capacity easily. I think a lot of members only will be disappointed.
According to @SuziQ members+ can buy regardless of whether they've used the 6 games.
Yes, said on another thread, asking people to shell out for the chance to buy something, but not telling them how much of a chance they've got, and then asking them to pay through the nose for it, and then letting others join in level with them just when they need it, all very poor. At least 10k is my guess though, lots will be unsuccessful I think, unless STH remain half-hearted about the Cup.
Masses of STH who haven't bought theirs. I really don't understand people sometimes.
Same here took 6 mins to get my ticket I was expecting a queue to get on the site.
They rounded on me last week when I said loads don't bother.....it's the same every cup game.... regardless of price , opposition etc......
Just mystified me. Why would someone who turned up to watch us play Sheff U in a game we know is likely to be fairly dire and (despite what we hope) in all probability influence whether we finish 10th or 11th, but not come to a Cup QF with a day out at Wembley hanging on it, even with much cheaper tickets?
It happens every cup game....so it isn't the price or the excuses they come out with ...got no problem with anybody not going but they should give season tickets holders 2 days max to decide... encourage the members and general sale to come with longer to make plans etc ...
I'm sympathetic to anyone who genuinely can't afford it of course, but they could actually sell the seats back for a league game (likely get more than the cost of a Cup ticket), stay at home and save the travel costs if they're coming from distance. People on here made me laugh when they were saying how much it costs but adding in food, parking etc, all things you can save on easily if money's tight. Loads moaning about ticket prices for Brighton, club's been very reasonable on this game - still don't buy (to be fair nowhere near as many though).
Good luck selling your seat back, they aren't released for sale until all the over priced seats with terrible views are sold.
It's a fair point, I don't know if there was a resale for Sheff U, think it was pretty much sold out though. I bet you could sell it for Arsenal though, I'd genuinely much rather see Wolves v Cov in a QF than Wolves v Arsenal. Suspect that's just because I'm old though!
I was away for Newcastle at home, Saturday evening under the lights thought it would be a safe bet for a resale. They were still trying to sell single seats in the wings of the Bully and Billy Wright for £50 odd quid
We’re season ticket holders, and had to really consider the costs etc, before committing to buying our two, I know some might say it’s only £60, but extra matches are really tight on our budget.
I know a few not going to the Cov game. They have been to all the cup games but they have booked up ages ago for the Midland Grand National. They meet up every year with other lads they were at school with and a chance to catch up and have a day out together. Sometimes there are other things in life than football...... Bill Shankly was wrong on that point.
Absolutely, there are always people in this sort of situation, that's why there are always a few hundred resales scattered around. Just not accounting for 5k.
I know people who have already rearranged their holidays -- just in case
You're the Steve Madeley of the Mix (if only in terms of the number of holidays rather than the timing of them!)I know people who have already rearranged their holidays -- just in case
My best mates 40th fa cup final day ....his misses has booked for him to go with all her family to Tenerife....double celebrations with his father in law for his birthday......he said I'm flying home if we get in the final...will be off for a couple of days ...I said ya leaving her , he said she can spend some time with her father ...I'm off...I know people who have already rearranged their holidays -- just in case
Thanks for the info SuziQ. That gives me confidence of getting a ticket tomorrow.
My friend has already moved their holiday from flying out on 24th to 29th, bit presumptuous
Southerners perspective.
