As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I don't think that 'live' map of Wembley is accurate. It hasn't changed for days, meanwhile thousands of people on the 'standby' list have been offered tickets. When Tuesday rolls around I suspect it won't have changed and our allocation to be announced as sold out.
It hasn't changed because sales have been suspended.
Standby find out on the 7th so it won't change until sales reopen.

the problem I have is the high number of neutral tickets for both this and in particular the final - that is the real scandal here
'Platinum and Gold members who received a status of ‘standby’ will be able to view the update on their application online by clicking here from 10am on Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Members who receive an updated ‘invitation to buy’ status will be able to purchase tickets from 10am until 12noon on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.'
Did most people on standby get one and why is there only a 2 hour window to buy?
(This pic is linked to the live seat map & therefore it should update if you need to keep an eye)
Yet another Royal f*Ck up!!
How the hell have 3 blocks on the Lower Tier opened up? The bastards must have held some back
I can't understand why there's only a 2 hour window, surely it makes sense to sell the lot asap
Edit: Just logged in & the latest seat map shows even more avaiable! There were 8 green blocks this morning & at 10.45 there are 14!!! This could go to Silvers

Bring it on.
Its much as happened last year- I suspect that the brown tongues havent taken all their allocation so theres spares left, would doubt AFC would have held back, the green lowers must be fresh allocation.
Similar sort of slowly slowly happened for the semi final and Charity plate.

...if it does go down to Silver I'd imagine they'll e-mail invites as for the Wigan semi
The only reason this will go down to silvers (if it does) is because the club in its ticketing policy not allowing mates to sit together because of the ballot process have hacked off enough gold members who won't bother.
For reasons that I just dont understand a neighbour of mine is a season ticket holder, but never bothered to apply for last years semi or final- wierd.
Didnt offer me his card either
The process is a bit convoluted and I guess some loose the will or forget along the way too.

Just to confirm that tickets are back on sale to Gold/Platinums who haven't already purchased, it's crazy that the ticket info page has not been updated, if you missed yesterday's e-mail I suppose it's tough shit. Perhaps I'm being a bit cynical but it might be in the club's interest if this drops to Silver!
