Also me and few of the regulars I stand with in Block 6 are doing a joint booking. Will be the main guys in blocks6/5 that start off the chants at Arsenal.

If anyone wants in let me know. Also think we will be booking out a pub just for us on the day of the match.
You've all got above 3 credits though? Haven't you had to submit your application already Mikey?

No mate - people with 3 or more away credits dont need to submit. They just buy the tickets from 9am Monday

Thats what i was worried about. Hence why a few of us are going to get seats together.
Going to be sitting with Stevey Gallagher (the noise) and a few others.

You must be gutted having 2 credits! Is there any away game you can buy now to make it 3 ?

Mate you must be pissed!!!

I only got my season ticket this season and I have 12 credits. You should always use your own even if you buy some first on the gooner and then sell yours on.

We are getting the £54 ones I think. I don’t know where they would be in the ground. Not sure how the seating plan works ?


Tell ya what tho, I bet we can sweet talk someone who is sitting near us to swap tickets with you if you sorted them out a beer or something…?

Not everyone wants to be near people that shouting and singing. Just take your number and tex you if we can find someone.

The £54 ones are on the upper tiers. The £84 and the £70 are in the lower. Just called the club to confirm that piece of info

I know what you are saying. I can't believe they have set those kind of prices for a Carling Cup final. Massive rip off. Don't the clubs have any say in this?

I doubt Arsenal are in a position to talk about ripping off fans.

I think most people will go with the £54 tickets

I posted this link on the "Look at me, I'm SamiS and my Dad knows really important people" thread.

It might give you a rough idea of the seats

The prices are a bit of a joke!
I just recalled that the prices are the reverse to the Grove. Cheapest are in the heavens and expensive pitch side.

There's a really good guide I'd googled here.
http://www.readingfc.co.uk/javaImages/a ... 738,00.jpg

Basically: (our prices)
£38 - Upper tier, right at the back.
£54 - Upper tier front & Lower tier, behind the goal (pitch side)
£70 - Lower tier, sides lower (pitch side) or behind the goal (higher)
£86 - Sides (Higher)

So if you wanted a similar comparison block 5/6 in the Corners of the Grove would cost you £70.
Last time (semi final) I was Upper tier lower. It was a bit soulless upstairs although downstairs is better its more expensive.
As its only the C/C this could make people think.....certainly has me thinking.

I thought they were shit seats. View was okay but upper tier behind the goal is a bit quiet.

Pissed with a capital P!

Yeah I know what your saying I might just buy them on mine from next season and if I have a spare sell it on here.

But yeah, if all goes well on Thursday and I get a ticket, I'll PM you about the moving thing.
