The Match Tickets Thread

Think you have absolutely no chance I’m afraid! Gold dust.

Borrowing someone's season ticket in the Wovles home end on Saturday...I live locally so know a few ST holders.

Not ideal (did the same last season) but better than nowt.

Was about to enter the Chelsea ballot but realised that it's my sister 40th birthday in Devon so *probably* can't miss that one

Missed out yet again in the ballot, for the Fulham game this time, but 5 minutes ago managed to get a ticket in the resale in the Platinum Club.

Great result but hoping for a better one this evening!

Got a ticket in the ballot for the Citeh game!!

Got Villa away tickets, clearly the daft kickoff time has put people off. Been there once for a conference, wonder if I can nick a load more free pens?

Got a spare? I live just down the road in Wolverhampton!

I've been to Villa park 4-5 times to see us, back in the days where you could get away tickets with a membership!

I'd advise drinking in the city centre beforehand, the area around Villa Park is a total shithole.

Spare? Can barely get a ticket these days!

Won't be drinking either, driving there and back, so will likely be a manky takeaway then in. I went to a work conference there a few years ago so vaguely know where I'm going...

Haha, well you did say you had tickets

If you become incapacitated prior to the game let me know

Don't stop for petrol in Wolverhampton on the way there - might just get Tonya Harding'd by a hooded attacker seeking a last minute ticket.

Fulham away confirmed for 19:00 on the Saturday of 4th round weekend…if you’re travelling back to Newcastle the last train leaves Kings Cross at 21:00. What a pisstake for fans travelling down. Absolutely zero common sense or consideration applied by tv companies, who can do as they please.

Man City at Spurs the night before too. Both utterly ridiculous.

I don't even know how away ticketing works nowadays...if the allocation doesn't sell out to ST holders (for Fulham) will it drop to members sale?

Not really expecting it to, but as it's an inconvenient kick off time and we'll get a larger allocation as it's a cup game then there's a slim chance.

Villa away drops to 5 loyalty points for ST holders later today.

[Colly]

Hasn't happened in recent memory so not a clue, suspect it'll still go at ST level even if it's people gambling on buying and passing on.

Villa was at 5 points yesterday, it'll likely drop to 1 later on but there's only 150 tickets left per the site. Whether that's remaining tickets with some more held for ballot or the full lot left is beyond me.

In the Forest ballot, my record is currently 0% so only way is up...

[bodacious benny]

I wonder if there will be any chance of members having the chance to get a ticket for Blackburn in the 5th round.

It's a midweek game (all 5th round games take place midweek) and we'll get an allocation of around 8,000 based on the allocation that Wrexham got.

Probably not, but a guy can dream!

What did Man Utd fall to, just the ST ballot? It's possible, but then you'll have unlimited members going for 500 remaining tickets so good luck with that...

Needless to say I missed out on the Forest ballot, but setting off to Villa shortly. Arsenal's dropping from 15 points later but not doing that on a Saturday night with Blackburn a few days later.

Man Utd went down to 1 point then sold out pretty much instantly as soon as it did. Though they still kept behind the token handful for the 0 point ballot as per normal.

I'd imagine it'll probably be similar for Blackburn. Similar allocation and travel distance. Also a weeknight.
