[Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***
- Thread starter kingcole

I remember that well. Our coach had so many United scarves as momentoes that when we left the coach park other Brighton coaches were Giving us the Maxwell coffee sign. Good old Clifton days.
So we've sold all our allocation, and a few of an extra bonus FA allocation, on top.
Look forward to assorted Palace MORONS crowing about us 'not selling out for a semi final', even though we'll actually have the most fans there of all four teams involved...

Sounds like Wolves fans were buying Watford memberships so they could get tickets in their end.

I'm not sure that even Palace fans are THAT stupid. I would have thought we'll keep selling more tickets in any case - there will be a lot of people who don't yet realise they are possible to get.
Very generous assessment
I logged on this morning and it wouldn't let me buy any. I refuse to pay to be a 'member' of a club I've supported for over 40 years!
I really don't understand why the final tickets aren't going on sale to purchase history.
Say for example there's a family with two young children who have been taken to a few games at the Amex and are starting to get interested. The FA Cup semi final would be a great game to go to but it would cost £80 in membership before tickets for a family of 4. Crazy and wrong.

Not just that, I would have paid and done anything to get to Wembley. However I have the bug, others dont and by having another 3k their some might get the bug. By making them get membership etc is just too much if they are not hooked into Albion yet. Any one who got the membership did so to guarantee they could go so they were already had the bug.
The groups u need to attract are either ones where money is tight or not hooked yet. But Albion r missing a trick as this could be the occasion to make them go more, buy shirts, etc.

Yep. Should go on general purchase history sale now. They must be really keen to shift those memberships.

Supported? With no membership, purchase history or STH friends to buy you a guest ticket? Such dedicated support is... Underwhelming.
The club already published their sale points at the start of this process and, rightly or wrongly, purchase history was never included. Difficult to change it now when so many have splashed out on MyAlbion+ memberships to secure their tickets. It's not like anyone can't get tickets if they really want to, is it?

There were United fans in the lower and upper tier for the replay. I was in the upper and remember some mad Brighton hooligans jumping down from the upper to lower tier to fight with United. There was already a fair bit of fighting after a couple of goals went in. There were United plastics around us celebrating United's goals, after a few were beaten up, self preservation set in and their chants changed to 'Seagulls! '
I bought tickets in the disabled section for the promotion-clincher against Wigan at the Amex, the ticket office said it was ok to do so- probably worth giving them a ring to check before buying.

I'm in the 'make sure we can get to couple of games a season camp' ironically they are usually the cup games because they are cheap and yet we still get to see them play, we can also always get tickets as no-one else wants to go.
The kids have been to the Amex and Withdean and I started going at the Goldstone.
I simply can not afford to buy membership, pay for the tickets, bus fares, train fares, food etc. I could stretch to it without having to buy the membership. Season ticket holders have the opportunity to buy 2 extra tickets and there are 3 of us.
I will still go to the club shop and buy some tat though simply as a souvenir. We may even make a tinfoil cup!!
We're all gutted we won't get the opportunity to go, however we still will have a jolly good time watching it at home!

I thought it was a general sale today. Do people still have to buy a membership then ?
You're not being forced to buy membership. If someone wants to go to exactly one game a season, it is expensive if you're buying membership + a ticket for one game. Funny coincidence it happens to be a semi final? Membership exists to give people who intend to go semi regularly a chance of priority to buy tickets. It's their prerogative to do so. People complaining about spending money on membership "just for this game" are not regulars for one reason or another. There are many fans who want a seat.
