Can't you register them? Or did you have to register before a date?

 

[lucky007]

yeah I tried that but even if i registered them today they wouldn't sell them a ticket for this game

How not to gain future fans to help fill Falmer. What a joke.

your kids grandparents.....isnt that the same as YOUR parents??

 

[lucky007]

no its my ex-wife's parents....haha

I assume this is due to the sellout in the away end; there is a large risk than anyone registering since they sold out would be an FCUM fan.

I do see the point in trying to segregate the home/away fans but think this may be a little over the top

Why is it a joke? EVERYBODY has been aware of the wankfest over this game regarding tickets since we beat Woking. The club made it perfectly clear that to buy tickets people had to be on their database prior to a certain date to avoid any potential trouble due to away fans getting entry to the home stands. What should they do-bend the rules for every story they get about 75 year olds wanting tickets? I'm not a club apologist btw-it's just that we've all known the ticketing arrangements and to expect the ruling to be relaxed 2 days prior to the match with the Mancs saying there'll be loads travelling without tickets is a bit naive.

Yes, because none of this is due to police advice.

Its not helped when our own fans are selling them tickets
Fa cup tickets, this Saturday?

I don't know why the club have taken this approach, why not only restrict people from buying tickets if they are outside the Brighton area? If you're living in the Brighton area, but you're not on the database, then it's not very likely that you're a FCUM fan is it?

My Mum and Dad are avid *Manchester United* fans, we were so disappointed that we couldn't get them tickets for the away game at Ibrox last night,, they really wanted to go, something to do with the fact they have never been to see them before. Can't get them any tickets for their next home game at *Old Trafford* either, have to pay to join a membership scheme or something like that. Thoughts?

*or substitute Liverpool/Anfield Chelsea/Stamford Bridge Arsenal/Emirates etc.

I cannot wait for this bloody game to be out of the way so we can concentrate on more important matters. The clubs ticket policy has been known for ages, and whatever the rights and wrongs of it we all know why. Can't we just f**kin well move on. This game will no doubt be a load of crap i cannot understand why people are getting het up about it.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I can't attend and you're more then welcome to me and my dad's fan numbers but you'd have to pay full price for them as we're not concession.

You should still be able to buy concession tickets online under an adult membership number though. I have done so before

I agree with you-let's get this game/tie over and done with, the mancs can get on with their lives and we can return to being a manc free zone again, focused on getting promotion. I used to love the FA Cup but it has become a massive ballache in recent years.

Are your mum & dad 75 years old though?

Excellent point. Its not as if there are any Manchester United fans, or freinds of Manchester Utd / FCUM fans living in Sussex is it?

 

[yorkshire seagull]

Exactly. I live in Leeds, so should people automatically assume I support Leeds Utd*, and sell me tickets for their games whenever I want?


*Actually, they tend to see the stripes, and assume I support Sheff Weds...
