Arsenal tickets and meet up

[Don Diaz]

Application is in for the Ballot...fingers, toes and testes crossed. Would love to be there, but if not the details of the meet up would be appreciated.

I will get the first round in!!

Excellent behaviour.....follow Skiathos lead, he likes a pint of Creme de menthe. Liam is more 11 pints of lager and I'm Guinness. Get a babycham for later maybe??

 

[Wotspur]

@skiathos, I'm gonna apply for me, callum, lydia, shall I do yours too, so even if u don't get over I can sell it for a fortune, and then spend it on Callum's dinner and my drinking session !!

I'll buy it...assuming Callum wants a kebab and you don't do more than 4 shandies!!

Might ...just might do that semi ...I know @Rev John Ripsher thats a sentence you say every week but I'm talking about the football

I might do someone's semi if they've got a spare to the nld or the chavski fa cup game...

Sorted for the cup game just trying to get the dosh together ..nld is a step to far last at the lane seen a yid I know on twitter saying he has the money name your price so I'd say your fucked mate

 

[Don Diaz]

I'm getting a ticket for Chelsea somehow....we should get about 35,000 right?

 

[Thfcire]

Fuck the arch we better win the green man .....please baby jebus the owners a yid

 

[birdonaball]

I'll give the ballot for Arsenal a miss as @skiathospurs pointed out, it's done on loyalty points, and fair enough, I'm loyal...... just not enough points. I'm fine with it though, made peace with not being able to go to that since the beginning of the season.

I'll try get down to which ever pub you guys will be at to say hi though.

Chelsea in the semi though, I'd love to get tickets to. If however they don't go on general sale, I'll be screwed. Damn loyalty points, but I do get the point, those who have been going more often than me deserve a higher chance at getting one.

But I would still love to go.

I'm probably fucked for both mate but gotta try! What date is the chavski semi final?

either 22nd or 23rd April...if I was a betting man I'd say the Sunday. see you in the Green Man as usual!

Fuck! Is that the weekend before the NLD? Think I'm at a wedding in Greece... It's the Mrs sister who's getting married so can't get out of it either. I think they're having it early in the afternoon instead of 8 at night as they usually would out there. So I might be in a fucking church listening to vows in nobody understands as they're in ancient Greek instead of watching the game. Maybe I can make the baby scream a bit and use that as an excuse to get out of the church! Question is where will the game be played in a village outside Thessaloniki? If it was in heraklion I'd know exactly where to go but I'm out of my normal Greek places for this one. Fuck...

Everytime I'm in Greece there's an important game I miss, never a simple Burnley at home type game. Monaco at Wembley last time I was there and I had a ticket to that one too... bollocks. They don't like football either and think being around family is more important than anything, nonsense, THFC is the one for me. Gonna piss them off if I have to leave the wedding....

That's you out of it then.....pop over to Skiathos??

 

[Liam]

It's a bit of a journey from Thessaloniki, if I was in Athens I'd be game but I'm only out there for the weekend.

 

[Ted the Yid]

I think it will be nearer 31k.

 

[Don Diaz]

I think it will be nearer 31k.

Why? is that the rule or is it because the ground is missing a corner? if so that's bollocks, I'm sure the club would appeal that and win....at least I'd hope so. We've just had 15,000 applications for Bournemouth at home on Easter Saturday FFS.

Club Wembley get a chunk something like 17k plus a load to corporate and importent people like Adele.

Seems most have been allocated 31k(ish) recently with the exception of the scum when they played Wigan as Wigan returned a load that year.

Ridiculous situation.

So it's a bit better - about 2,000 tickets better - than a CAT A home game then, ie without the away fans. So again in theory anyone with about 200+ loyalty points should get a ticket. people like you and I need to be resourceful.....

Indeed! Going to be tricky, I wonder if they will go with the ballot process or the wheel of death?

STH's then loyalty points I would imagine - same as a Cat A game. Fair enough really

we had about 31k last time and was at about 140 loyalty points. The cup final was 185 cos there were less tickets

if when time comes i can help out for the semi I will,I wont be back til the thurs after,so unless my mate has bagged a ticket on mine for one of his group,It will get you there if it is loyalty pts.

edit someone on twitter has done the math,looks about right.

 

[skiathospurs]

So how much will it cost you to be there at Wembley?

The FA have announced a freeze on ticket prices for the final two stages of the tournament this season, meaning that tickets for the semi-finals will cost between £30 and £60 for adults without concessions. The four price bands will be: £30, £40, £50 and £60, and any additional reduction will be subject to Tottenham's concession policy.

And should Spurs continue their fine form in the cup and reach the final, tickets will be priced at £45, £65, £85 and £115 for adults, with the club's concessions policy also applying for any match-goers.

Hmm, interesting... now to work out how I won't be missed at the wedding...

 

[Liam]

At the end of last season I had about 130 loyalty points but lost them all so would have had a chance to get a ticket if I hadn't closed the bank account I had my membership DD out of. Fuck sake!

Cardboard cut out?

 

[Flump]

Applied for my group of 3. Fingers crossed. 140 loyalty points so 50/50 for semi final tickets. So frustrating that 30 thousand odd aren't even given to the clubs.

Even worse, the cup Final allocation is even lower.
