IF IF IF we get through to the quarter finals the club will be praying for an away match.
Nah, I think they'd be pretty confident of selling out a QF. And we'd be one win from you know what.

"Thank you for your further comments.*
Nobody has based the decision solely on the Palace game! It is simply one factor of many. We look at all Cup matches - including the opposition, match timings, other environmental factors, including previous patterns of ticket sale since the Amex opened, to make our judgements.*
You are right to say, however, that it is our job to make operational judgements and decisions based on many decades of collective experience of running football clubs, pricing football matches, and keeping operational costs down to a minimum. It is not an exact science; it is a series of live and ongoing judgements.*
By using such experience, making such decisions, and spending Tony’s money as wisely as possible, we can keep season ticket and match ticket costs down for our fans while continuing to invest in our facilities and, most importantly, in our playing squad. In this regard, every single match we stage counts - after all, we might only get 19-25 matches in any given season.*
We have certainly not been disingenuous with our comments about marketing the game - for goodness sake, why would we be: we want the game sold out! - and, with respect, we are in the best position to judge how many emails to send (and when) and also how and when to open different stands - again based on previous experience. We don’t just make these things up.*
For what it’s worth, saturation marketing to football fans rarely works, and neither does one particular marketing technique or super hype - it looks exactly what is. I also think it’s fair to say that since beating Middlesbrough there has been plenty of awareness that we would be playing a 5th Round game next week - after all, we weren’t due to be playing anyone else!*
Finally, nobody will be “forcing” the club to open another tier. We want to open another tier! And we have said from the day we went on sale that we would open other areas as sales dictated. This isn’t exactly a new or unique strategy for football clubs or venue owners. Please trust our professional staff to make these judgements.*
Regards, Paul"

Season ticket holders don't like paying more than they usually do per game. So what price? I can see the club overcharging.
Also it will be live on tv and won't be a 3pm Saturday.
So what if we get a premier league team, the opposition has lost it's pulling power as we play them every week now.
There is potential to get it wrong again.

One win from playing in an FA Cup semi final at a neutral ground like Villa Park rather than some devalued crap like playing it at Wembley you mean? I'm in.
See Mr Barber? This is such a high demand game that people are buying tickets IN THEIR SLEEP.

It tends to do this every single day (well has done everyday this week anyway as I've been trying) so although we can keep our fingers crossed that today you are right, I wouldn't read too much into it

Officially it’s the new points threshold for Everton away.
Unoffcially, millions are waiting to get online and buy a ESU Cov ticket!
Truly this is the magic of the cup. Barber in.
