After my phone giving me an error message, my laptop thankfully being only 5 minutes behind in the queue, and a painful wait for a confirmation email, I am in the ballot. Absolutely shitting it.
<divax> When do you find out?

Nobody knows. Latest is Tuesday, but it's possible we get notified before the next ballot tomorrow. Communication is woolly as hell.

One thing I will say is that it'll be even harder for non season ticket holders to get cup tickets next season. I'll be buying my seat even if I can't go to save this hassle...

Fingers crossed for you <diva> . I've entered a competition to win a pair of tickets <laugh> I'm not desperate to go or anything though; I haven't been to any match since we lost in the cup last season at home to Burnley.

Yeah I've entered a few competitions but not holding my breath <laugh>

Slightly annoying that there will be 30,000 free loading corporates at the final but that's modern football.

Is anyone in period 5? I'm really curious as to whether the confirmation says ballot 1 as it did yesterday or whether there's a second/third etc.

If any ST holder could get me a ticket for Forest away on 17th March I'd be very grateful <gent>

Happy to send money in advance plus an extra tenner for your troubles to get yourself a beer.

I doubt it'll get to my points level, and to be honest if it does I might go. This Wembley stewing isn't good for my health.

Friday night game so you might have slightly more chance than if it was Saturday 3pm.

This could be my least productive day in years, all I'm doing is refreshing my email and checking my bank.

Any luck? Looking like I've missed out, massively disappointed with how they've run this given that even non-members are getting tickets.

Guarantees I'll buy tickets to every home cup game next season and I'm sure most if not all ST holders will do the same, it'll be even harder for everyone else.

I thought tickets only went on sale to season ticket holders? How are non-members getting them?
