then would i have less chance getting into a 3rd round match, even though im a season ticket holder?

no hidden messages behind this, just wondering.

its alot of money for me to spend on a 'lesser' visiting team but i dont want to miss out on every round after this.

As I understand it (and don't take this as gospel, because I could be wrong), priority for further Cup tickets if we get through this round would go to (in the following order):

- Those with ticket stubs from the 1st & 2nd Round matches (whether STHs or not)

THEN

- Season ticket holders

THEN

- Everyone else

As I said though, could be wrong. Perhaps you should ask Insider for clarification?

IF what I said is correct, you may have problems getting a seat for the 3rd Round if you don't buy a ticket for Saturday and we then get ManUre at Withdean or something like that.

I think we would only be looking at a 3rd Round sell-out if we get a home draw to a big team though, but I would assume that the same scenario would be in place for each round we happen to progress through.

Season tickets will always get priority! Just because you go to 2 fa cup games doesnt give you a right over someone who has forked out £500 for a season ticket.

Im not a season ticket holder but I still think they should hgave first dibs on any "glamour" fixtures.

They stump up the cash in advance. They are the lifeblood and this is their reward as lets face it glamour ties dont come along that often.

It worked for years like that and should continue to do so.

Then you can do ticket stubs or whatever.

I wouldn't be so sure.

The club have been making a big thing of saying that EVERYONE should keep their ticket stubs fur use in obtaining tickets for future rounds.

I'm an STH myself, and I will have been to both of the first two rounds, so I would 'qualify' either way, but I can see why the club would want to reward those who paid up to watch Northwich and Stafford with priority if we get a 'big' team in a future round over those who didn't, STH or not.

What if you just have a stub from Saturday's match, not the first round?

Then you are entitled to half a seat and will be expected to share with someone else in the same position.

Possibly.

Or possibly not.

I'm just guessing, you know.

What of the season ticket holders never travel away though?

Surely priority for an AWAY cup tie should go to those who travel to the most away games?

I have a season ticket and been to both cup games, but if the club started rewarding fans for attending just 2 games a year hoping we get a glamour tie that would be wrong. Season ticket holders should always get priority, not fair-weather fans.

I'll put the question to Insider, see if we can get absolute clarification on the matter.

Here here.

Because I still have my spurs away ticket from 2 years ago does that mean I qualify?

I was under the impression that JPT stubs will have a bearing too...

Surely that would only be for JPT games though? Wouldn't have thought they'd have any bearing on FA Cup seating.

I've asked Insider though, so hopefully all will be revealed once and for all soon enough.
