Hopefully sorted but, just in case.
No kids concessions.

Over 65s are mostly wadded anyway, why should they get a discount? Disgrace

In 30 years 65 year olds will be far from wadded!

Granted it's not as much as a season ticket, but when two tickets are available per ST holder, I don't think it's quite right.

Completely agree with you here. Due to working on rota, I can not be a season ticket holder. However I've been to pretty much all the away games this season (and the previous 2) to the arsehole end of the country, with a couple of hundred others and made the effort.

It's a piss take season tiks holders get 2 per applicant, when the vast majority of them only show up to the Reebok. It should be one per person in pre sale to even things out.

It's not a piss-take at all - the season ticket holders are the ones who put the money into the club UP FRONT before a ball has even been kicked - it's only right that we are rewarded thusly.

This, I go to pretty much all the away games too. I don't fancy going all the way to Wembley on my own though.

I'm really angry about the 4pm Sunday afternoon kick off time. Possibility of half hour extra time plus penalties too. Two teams travelling halfway across England to play a semi at a time that has been engineered to suit the advertising executives at ITV.

And when fecking Wembley is half empty on TV the wise cracking commentary team will no doubt state that teams like Bolton and Stoke don't deserve to be there when the fans don't take it seriously.

I won't care what the say on tv commentary as I expect to be there and not have to listen to their carp.

Im not disputing the fact that season tik holders should get priority. It's more the 2 per holder their entitled to. Meh anyway good luck everyone who wants a tik. We should be fine for the semi but should we get through to the final, i doubt any will go on open sale.

I know this might sound a little selfish, but I don't fancy my chances waiting for tickets on general sale. If any ST holders manage to have one, possibly two tickets they need to be rid of, would you please bear me in mind. :oyea:

I'd imagine the ticketing for this game, will be much different to the final, should we get there.

Still with you there. Not agreeing with the whole 'money up front' stuff. I get the idea, but money is money is money.

Yeah, I fail to see why every season ticket holder gets to buy two tickets each before everyone else. Surely one would be the happy medium?
