Cup final tickets

[Peeman]

There are tickets still on sale.

I had one successful and one unsuccessful so at time didn't bother getting the one. Just logged in today on off chance and it let me buy the two tickets

I get the same. Was trying to purchase tickets using the memberships of the two old guys next to me who were unsuccessful in the ballot...but suspect that you needed to have been on the stand by list to buy now. And when I put my membership in it just says exceeded quota...

Strange how the tickets it offered me yesterday were over £100, but now they are offering £45...

Were you on the standby list Peeman ?

Were you on the standby list Peeman ?

No was unsuccessful but got this email yesterday. But could again only buy the one so didn't bother yesterday. But today when I got in I could get the two.

Well done mate. I just went in and was told I wasn't eligible so there you go

Has it officially sold out now? Arsenal have made a massive cock up of this whole process.

Just looked at the sales of tickets for the screening, lower tier and club level have sold out, they are now opening the upper tier. Could be a massive attendance and some party after to come back to if we win the fucker!

I've just had a closer look and could still get a choice of 10 £45 seats together in several areas by adding them to my basket, unfortunately I still can't assign them to any of my "unsuccessful" mates. It's a bloody disgrace that the f*cking arseholes have pissed off so many loyal fans, they couldn't manage the proverbial pissup

This was always going to be the case if you don't let people apply in groups. I know that in the first instance that is more difficult to work than a ballot and it would take some work to ensure the odds stayed broadly the same but balloting 15,000+ tickets was always going to cause a problem as there would be hundreds upon hundreds of groups who were split down the middle and some wouldn't take up their ticket, meaning the club were going to have to go through a few more 'standby' ballot rounds to make sure they sold the exact number of tickets.

Meanwhile tickets in the hull end are getting cheaper. Wouldnt surprise me if you could pick one up for around £200 by the end of the week.

Yes you have to be successful in the 50th ballot to get access to them. If arsenal did it properly and allocated per group rather than individuals then this farce would never have happened.

If I didn't have a ticket then I would certainly buy one in the Hull end if they dropped to £200...

Disgrace though that they obviously have tickets on sale from our section...And in one case 6 tickets in as row at almost £700 each... Anyone who buys these tickets should report the details back to the FA and Arsenal...after the match!

You see herein lies the problem, on the one hand you have arsenal whose ticketing policy requires you to navigate an obstacle course to get your hands on tickets , and Hull where tickets went to those fans who could turn up at the stadium with a FA cup semi final stub.

That's what caused the liquidity in the hull end, because there's tons of tickets and not as many takers. Despite this there will be a lot of Arsenal fans all over the stadium including their end. If I had bought a ticket on the black market, I definitely would have written a stern letter to the FA and Arsenal afterwards (if it was an Arsenal end ticket). The owners of the tickets are easily identifiable, and should be made to answer for their greed. I've even seen some gooners saying on craigslist they cant make it, but marking the tickets up 300%, *word censored*!

This is weird, one of our group was unsuccessful in his application and yet just going into the ticketing section on Arsenal.com its opened up his membership to get a ticket. I have assigned it and got to checkout.

The only prob is, if I purchase will that screw up the seats we have already bought?

A right royal fuck up this is.

It'll make my fucking blood boil knowing how many Gooners are going to miss this when I see that poxy Club Wembley section half empty in the minutes before and after half time.
