Cup final tickets

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 know the system mate, I've got a ticket by having enough credits!!!!! My point is, It's still one right Royal fuck up, the game should have sold out by now, there are hundreds of tickets left & surely that can't be right? :banghead: :banghead:

As opposed to go to one game all season if you are a hull fan and get a ticket no questions asked. A pretty demented comment if you ask me.

This cup final ticketing is an effing joke. I've just logged in and put 61 tickets in my basket but still says I haven't got the correct priveledges as I was unsuccessful in the ballot. Who are these tickets available to I ask myself because all supposed deadlines have been and gone to either successful ballot members or standby members and there still seems to be tons left. My email reminding me that I owe nearly 1500 pounds in three weeks managed to reach me on Friday afternoon. Tossers arsenal get you effing act together

Just to update you all, my ticket has still not arrived and I still have no clue how to get it. Phone calls to the box office tell me that they'll be in contact soon. I imagine this is what being an Arsenal transfer target is like. I'll probably be a Man City season ticket holder by the weekend.

Just tried that nutflash but still no joy. Bloke in the box office reckons they've only got a handful left even though I've now managed to up my basket to 111 tickets and can still add more. He said they had another mini ballot and this is the last chance saloon!! So I reckon when all these "mysterious members" don't buy these tickets they'll be left for the box office to share out amongst there friends and family. Well done arsenal on once again making a monumental f**k up on tickets

You can bet they will end up in undeserving hands - whether it be employees or touts - if they're still unsold.

Apparently, the reason they haven't yet sold out is because some smart ars* has put all the remaining tickets in his shopping basket... 8) !

Spoke to the box office this morning who in turn told me they have a couple of hundred tickets left over, they where doing another ballot this morning and i was told that an email will be going out today between 1-4pm if you have been succesfull.

We pay the highest price ( season ticket ) to get in, they charge us £10-£5 to again pay to see the final at the emirates,(would be good for once to let everyone in for free as a "thanku" and put us through more misery by fucking this up...


" The Arsenal way " oh we do love this club, Thanks Arsenal FC for looking after your fans!!!

I spoke to the member in our group who was unsuccessful originally in the ballot. He says he did not get any invite to apply for tickets so god knows how we managed to bink our third one.

I get a feeling Arsenal make it up as they go along. Empty seats in the Arsenal end will be unforgiveable imo.

Are they going to keep doing ballots for the exact number of tickets until it decreases nearly to 0?

Not sure it was handled correctly from the off but before now they should have had a larger 'standby' pool than tickets remaining and done it first come first served. Would annoy people with relying on the website etc but at least you avoid the jokes of tens of thousands of ST holders desperate for a ticket whilst there are still some floating round in the Box Office due to shit admin.
