Is it possible to do a sub forum for members only Keveh?

Well, well done Bolton/Ticketmaster.

Logged in to online ticket site 19:07, tickets bought and conformation printed by 19:14.

Not as much fun as queueing up past Carpet Right though!!

Waiting for all the mentalists who log on at 09:30 on the dot to finish is the way forward!

Got ours this afternoon...was hoping to get down the sides, but all were either sold out or didnt have 4 tickets together! So were in 133 row 22!!

Can't chuffin wait!! With me not bein a ST holder, had to foot the bill for all 4 tickets till they all get paid end of the month!! Well worth it though!!

Not sure whether I should be badgering ST holders for their spare card number (or whatever jazz it is) but I'll probably end up waiting for open sale - need to get 4 tickets for the family. Sure we won't sell out before then (I 'ope).

Don't panic, we sold about 11,000 yesterday so I'm told. There will be loads left.

We won't sell out, and I'm pretty sure that our initial allocation can be extended a bit.

I reckon we'll take about 25-28 thousand down.

'fraid not. We've got what we've got and that's it.

But you're right. I doubt we'll sell out either.

Are you sure? I thought they could extend each one up to 35,000?

I'm not entirely convinced that Wembley thinks they can sell 25-30,000 tickets to neutrals for this game. Surely they'd want to make money on them?

100% positive. The police, clubs and the FA have allocated the numbers. Dunno how they've come up with the figures but what we've got is all we've got.
Interestingly, to that end out of the four semi final clubs Stoke have the largest allocation but Man U have the smallest with us and City having more or less the same. Who knows why.

There's a lot of neutral seats but these are used for Wembley ST holders, corporate, other football clubs, press and stuff. Plus BWFC (and Stoke) get a 20 seat box and 50 pairs of seats for the WAGS.

Interesting morning. Confirmed seats for flight to Amsterdam for 4 season ticket holders who know they really should be at Wembley.

and bought Wembley tickets for daughter, her fella and her mum! Who are delighted.

Got through very quickly. Lots of availability.

Now - anyone know a sports bar in Amsterdam that shows FA Cup games???

The Bulldogs the big one isn't it? There are dozens in the centre, mind.

I saw an International game, I think it was England against Australia when we lost, in Amsterdam, not far from the red light district. Was a fairly decent sized bar.

You're probably right. Just too much 'I've got a golden ticket' hysteria and I have to wait, haha! Doesn't matter really, as long as they're are a few seats not perched in the clouds, I'll be happy.

Is anyone with a previous history of buying tickets from the club having problems accessing their transaction history online? Apparently there have been a few problems with the system and obviously you'll need a transaction history to purchase tickets online if/when they go on open sale.
