[Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

Ah, so it's to do with what end you're at then rather then where fans travel from.

The two might be related.

I think there is hope we will have the same arrangements this time round.

Do you think the club will do the Box End thing again?

Do you think the club will do the Box End thing again?

Per my post above, it depends on which end of the stadium we get. If we get West, then Box Park is within that. It seemed to be a success in 2019, so I imagine the club would do it again.

Would that make a difference? Box Park is on Olympic Way and that is used by both sets of fans.

I was in BoxPark that day, great atmosphere.... bumped into the legend that is Steve Sidwell coming out of the gents in there and got myself and inebriated selfie with the big man!

OK, I know for a fact that it does as I've already asked the club about it!

2019 it was Albion only.

It will be digital tickets only according to MUFC website. Will save writing 34,000 names on tickets.

United have confirmed they have 34,000 tickets and their fans can apply from Friday...

United confirm Wembley allocation and announce ticketing process for FA Cup semi-final

Manchester United will make the trip to Wembley for the second time this season when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup semi-finals in April.

how on earth does priority 1 override priority 3? And Man U league STH don't get a look in? Could be as the have far too many STH for 34k I expect our priority will be quite different in fact has to be as we dont have CUP STH

Funny name ..was it a friend?

I assume they mean Europa League when they say cup?

 

[Greeko]

how on earth does priority 1 override priority 3?

Presumably category 1 includes all home FA Cup, League Cup & Europa League matches while Cat 3 is just FA Cup

Cue the exclusion of plastic card non smart mobile phone fans

 

[Wozza]

And Man U league STH don't get a look in?

Man Utd STHers have to opt in/out of cup games at the beginning of the season, and are then charged appropriately.

So standard STHers without the cup opt-in are well down the list for a cup semi ticket (won't get one).

Have a day off. The club will obviously provide paper tickets to those who really need them

 

[pure_white]

i’m trusting that all STH’s will get a ticket and have booked up coach seats for 8 of us, just in case.

in case of another rail strike? that really would be a huge smack in the face. Not sure Wembley can handle 100s coaches. Yes there is room for a few but with no rail transport I could see that being a real issue accommodating so many coaches assuming there are enough coaches and drivers in the first place.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Has any United info actually been announced officially?

Surely that's the point we'd also release ours?

I can't see anything on their official site but it's a big old mess

I bet you don't sleep at night with all this worry in your life
