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.

Hold on..... I don't think they even go on sale until Monday!

Happens every year of course, but no less ridiculous that we get the same number of tickets. That means every one of their members will get to go, whereas 1/3rd of our season ticket holders and 100% of red and silver members miss out. How fair is that?
Iceman29 wrote:Where are the other 1,200 tickets?
Squad of 30 senior/junior players getting maybe 10 each......15 coaching staff x10, 300 backroom staff getting a couple of tickets each....? A few for the local councillors who were so much more accomodating than their Haringay counterparts ! Doesn't take long to reach 1,200.....
Another 1,000 for FA and Football League officials, UEFA, FIFA and assorted foreign officials etc.
Perhaps 1000 to Armed Services and local schools?
So where do 10,000 tickets go?
Samis!
Carling taking 9,000 and SamiS a 1,000!
Seriously though, I know Carling sponsor it but 10,000 is an insult to fans of the clubs involved.
If they get 2,000 for their staff and competition winners etc then fair enough, but the effects of sponsorship are not always in the fans' best interests..
Aaah its going to be such a magical day arranged to go club shop at 11 to buy Eboue shirt and hats scarfs and so on then get to restaurant by 2 might get into ground 10mins late but who cares the game can wait for me to settle then on 40th minute head inside for pie to miss nasty queues get in on the 50th minute after relaxing in the concourse eating to my leisure then ill take out my brand new camera to take some photos whilst BBMing and Facebooking friends to let them know where I am before I make a quick get away on the 85th minute so as to avoid all the matchday commoner traffic
I'm soooooooo excited if I'm feeling real crazy I may start a song like I love AW and chuck in a few Oles if we score early so as to wind up those Brummy *word censored*!!!!

There's other sponsors aso TONS of local clubs Refs and so on get
Also 10 tickets go to every league team so that's 1000!!

2,000 for backstaff, players family bla bla of both clubs
1,000 for Sponsors
3,000 for Armed forces
1,000 local school and hospital

Birmingham City have actually put up a general sale date!
Isn't this their first final since God knows how long? GS date was 22nd Feb I think, which is like a week before the game. Sadly I think it will sell out before hand, but if not, I'm definitely getting a ticket or 2.

One of my family friends (jew network) helpfully had 2 tickets spare from his box that me and my dad have snapped nup! At £86 per ticket I was happy to take them, heard we will be in the posh section!!!!!
Which price category are most people aiming for? What's the boozer before the game.
For everyone I asked tickets for from (Iceman and co) thanks alot but now SORTED (yes it's the beer cup BUT) WEMBEEEEEERLY WEMBEEEEEEEERLY WE'RE THE FAMOUS ARSENAL AND WE'RE GOING TO WEMBEEEEEERLY
I got a ticket from a friend of one of my uncles for the 1998 cup final super expensive tickets at the time and ended up in with the Newcastle fans (and my brother had an Arsenal shirt on) it turned out alright in the end but not sure i would want to be in with Birmingham so dont go showing off too much
! Doesn't take long to reach 1,200.....
