Fa Cup 3rd Round

[Redalert1970]

Would Morecambe have a say in the price or is just Chelsea's decision

[JonCFC1]

Pretty sure for league games the away team gets half of the shed but usually in the fa cup the away team gets all of the shed, I'd guess that club has told Chelsea they wouldn't sell 6000 so we've been given the allocation they usually give for league games. This will probably stop us from being given extra tickets as these seats will be sold to chelsea fans now. Honestly shocked we didn't ask for more than 3000.

[Redalert1970]

Ah well if people don't get tickets it means we will have sold 3000 which would be great achievement

[Strangeways Shrimp]

We will sell 3000 tickets no problem, I'm sure Chelsea will have made allowances for at least an extra thousand tickets should we require more.
As for the price, your average away ticket for Stamford Bridge is £50.

[Wild Bill]

We only sold 3000 tickets for Spurs but that was during a Covid wave with many dropping out. There may be scope for extra tickets, so let's sell out before Christmas as see what can be done.

[Redalert1970]

Would be nice if a club official said if there is only 3000 tickets available or if there is scope for any more ???

[Billy bodger]

We were given 5,802 tickets against Spurs in 2021/22 fa cup game, we led till the 74 minute!

I need four tickets for south based family so I just hope season ticket holders can get more than one ticket. Don’t think 3,000 will be enough for a Saturday game.The pricing structure seems perfect. Will give us a decent pay day!

[Redalert1970]

Possibly 1 ticket each then general sale but doesn't say

"BBC extended highlights" for us.

With allocated seating, I'd imagine season ticket holders will be able to buy at least four tickets to ensure friends and family sit together.

Hope so!

How many season ticket holders do we currently have? I can't see four being available but am hoping at least one is, from a personal point of view.

Wonder when tickets will go on sale?

Peterbrough fans not happy.. Their tie away at Everton is now scheduled for a Thursday evening with a 1945 ko

[Wild Bill]

I think circa 1800 season tickets. Maybe 500-600 will be kids though or OAPs unlikely to travel. Some may maximise a speculated four tickets per season ticket holder, but many won't. I reckon there will be at least 500 left by the time general sale comes around.

Thanks, fair point! Let's see what happens...

Out of the 32 ties only 10 will take place on Saturday 11th January @ 3pm what a joke

Some of the dates and times for games are simply out of order for the fans

Sheff Utd v Cardiff 7pm ko on Thursday night
Everton v Peterbrough 745pm ko on Thursday night
Leyton Orient v Derby 6pm ko on sat night
Newcastle v Bromley 3pm ko on sun afternoon

Fa really don't care about the fans and this draw just proves it


Liverpool v Accrington could have been Thursday night (only about 1 hour travel)

Instead they make Peterbrough travel about 4 hours on a Thursday night to everton... Liverpool v Accy is a Saturday kick off

[Redalert1970]

Accy getting 4700 tickets for the Liverpool match

Accy getting 4700 tickets for the Liverpool match

Be lucky if they sell the 700. Never travelled very well.

How many fans went to the tottering stadium?

How many fans went to the tottering stadium?

Can't remember but a bit of digging on the club website (https://www.morecambefc.com/news/2021/december/tottenham-hotspur-a-ticket-details/) came up with an allocation of 5,802. Season ticket holders also couldn't buy extra tickets until the general sale opened, but I think we all managed to get what we wanted on that occasion!

Edit: Looks like only the overall attendance of 40,310 was ever announced.
