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.

Just after some help and or advice re the Emirates screening. I've been to a match in every round of this season's FA Cup (13 so far) since the extra preliminary in August but alas like many others will find it impossible to get a ticket for the final. Instead I'd really like to go to the screening at the Emirates to at least saviour the atmosphere of the day. Has anyone any ideas as to how I might be able to get a ticket? I've contacted the box office and they're pretty no commital as to whether it will go to general sale.
Many Thanks
I know someone who went last season after leaving the pub we where in (ahem yes the globe!), he said the atmosphere was pretty lukewarm. By contrast the twelve pins in Finsbury Park by all accounts was jumping.
If you are looking for atmosphere you could do worse than the twelve pins, and the reason I like this pub is the service is spot on even when its rammed. It's never too long a wait to get a beer. They also have screens throughout the pub, including a large one with no obstructed views.
Now waiting for Steveo35 to trash this recommendation .

Nothing wrong with the Twelve Pins......I might even turn up for that promised shandy
Keep an eye on your inbox over the next few days, as my guess is just like last year they will be e-mailing a few "Unsuccessful" ballot entries as there are still tickets left

BBC going back to the traditional Cup Final Day..Some of it will be cringeworthy and some fun, Ireland's TV3 are showing the game, their promotion piece on it is all about Shay Given and Jack Grealish..nuff said.

Quite a few thousand tickets by the looks of it. Would be nice to get the third ticket so all of our group go but having just rung the box office no one actually knows when the next ballot/window to purchase will be.
It is an utter joke of a system and what worries me is that according to the Arsenal Box Office, this method was agreed after consultation with various supporter groups. Anyone from a supporter group who recommended this should be shot imo.
Even having windows for those with 1 or 2 away credits would be a lot fairer than the current status quo.

They fuck it up every time and cover it up by sending random friggin e-mails, the ticket info page will probably stay as it is until one day it will say Sold Out. Don't bother phoning cos they know fuck all about the final as they are too busy selling tickets to Singapore
Just got the e-mail as predicted above... small window tomorrow... Still only me, not my old man having both been unsuccessful originally... Now all I've got to do it break the news to my son who I've told I'm hosting a big family do so we can all watch together on the box... or break the news to the Mrs who will now be hosting ??
