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

[Seaview Seagull]

It's all the STH from earlier windows waiting to buy with friends/family that were in P4 group.

I'm sure you are right. I was doing that but when I saw the amount selling at priority 3 I grabbed the 2 I could on level 2 and then got 2 in level 1 today. The queue today was horrendous.

 

[sully]

ok who was this ?

5 tickets in a row all purchased together at £65 each

and literally the row behind would be £45 each saving you £100

It's somebody who thinks the pitch is at the top of the picture and that the different coloured seats are the expensive ones....

I noticed that sort of purchasing in a few of the upper blocks.

Yes I know, I'm one of them.

I have come to the conclusion that there simply aren't enough ambulant disabled spaces for our fans, meaning that they run out before the other tickets.

So on Monday, you may well have your Albion+ ticket, and be priority 1 because you go to games, but if you're disabled, you won't get a ticket.

That doesn't seem right.

You've just jogged my memory there! I think that happened in 2019 as well, unfortunately the email from supporter services at the time is in a box I can't access anymore. I'm trying to get some clarification with SS now. I was already in conversation with them about how guest tickets with carer tickets at the Amex works, (that involves a call to supporter services from the STH) so I'm just carrying on with that convo.

Some good news - Wembley have just added over 60 extra seats for ambulant disabled people (they haven't added more tickets, just assigned some of those that were std tickets, to ambulant)

That's good. Does that sort out the 3 together issue?

I got our tickets this morning thank you (I'll sit behind my 2 kids). Our issue was struggling to sit 3 in a row, because we wouldn't be able to select 3 ambulant tickets.

But I'm posting about disabled spaces for other people, because it's not right if they miss out on Monday.

Get a sense this seems to be selling quicker than in 2019.
22k is pretty good considering tickets only went on sale on Wed at 2pm and Albion + members get their chance from Monday.

You wait for the MyMitoma+ members...

You and your posse all in yet Mellotron, or are some Albion+ ?

The 3 of us STHs had to make the jump, as we were very keen to be lower tier and it became apparent that getting 6 together (or even that close) on the 6th April was not going to happen.

So the 3 STHs are in - 1 Albion+ is aiming to buying his own near us - then the other 3 guests, well, we'll just have to hope for the best. All fun and games. Definitely don't remember it going anywhere near as quickly for the Man City FA Cup Semi - we had 8 of us and only 3 STHs and managed to be practically all together.

We became sexy and fashionable after Hughton left....... We've come from a ramshackle athletics track and being a bit of a laughing stock, to the coolest kids on the block!

The antithisis of Millwall.............. everyone likes us.

Similar M, try and get lower tiered broadly near (same entrance/concourse) for pre match/half time beers but couldnt hold the nerve till next week. #BottledIt&Bought

Anyone want to have a guess on Albion+ numbers ? 15k at a stretch ?

Suprised this hasn't been published before

Does every tom, dick or harry that rocks up to the Amex on 1 matchday in the season have to take out MyAlbion+? or can they just buy tix if available?

If they each have to buy membership, it could be a lot.

I could be wrong but I thought Mr B mentioned in a very short email that there were almost 13k Albion+ members last season so 15k now wouldn't be that far off now,I was hoping this would filter down to purchase history but that seems very unlikely given how much ticket take up has already happened.

I guess they wont all want to go, some may be day trippers or locals whose first club is someone else wanting to watch a game.... but would be surprised if we get to round 1 of STH tier 1, to bring a friend.

 

[El Turi]

Having a quick glance of the thread from last time, it looks like sales are going at a similar pace: https://www.northstandchat.com/thre...cup-semi-final-about-200-left-on-sale.371294/

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Chances of it going to season ticket guests? I've got 4 that want to go but it's going to be a long shot.
We need more tickets.

 

[Hendrax]

That's why I did print at home....

not really the same as a proper ticket though, like 2019.

Yep, that is probably the case. I got 7 this morning but 4 of the group, me included were P2 but had to wait for the P4 window to open as our kids and one of our mates who stopped his season ticket for a couple of seasons but is now back were all P4.

My son has had his season ticket since the 19/20 season but he's only been to one away game so there will be plenty of not quite JCLs in group 4 still.
