It's still bizarre that it shuts at all on a weekday ! The Wembley charade has stirred up some excitement but I hope it doesn't just paper over the cracks. Our club is run very poorly.
Please forgive me but we do have a home game on Saturday too. Besides I think we all know that a combined ticket office and club merchandise shop drives impulse purchases etc but instead we have this split shambles. Like I say eyes are diverted at present but it's really not good enough.
Yes but there are seats together in the upper tier.I'd guess all those 149 are single seats now too ?
Bit late to the debate but I think it's justified ST holders are allocated extra tickets, while it doesn't mean we are "super fans" or anything of the sort, it does mean we have continued to actively support the team and pay for the privilege of doing so. Saying that, I do think six is too many.
I also think there should be (and apologies if there is) another priority list for those who have been to x number of games this season, home or away. That covers those who could not purchase a ST for monetary or practical reasons, yet have attended when feasible.
As others have said I hope everyone who wants a ticket gets one, but I'm not looking forward to the inevitable influx of idiots who don't know the team/players and will probably do nothing but criticise.
I've got 12 tickets, 1 each for me and my son who are ST holders the other 10 are going to people who fit the demographic of your second sentence.
It makes you wonder why there isn’t a simple mechanism for fans of all clubs to earn points when buying tickets. When clubs get to Wembley, Season Ticket holders will always (rightly) get first go, but then it could pass on to other fans who’ve earned “gold” status based on their purchase history for the season. Then “silver” fans, followed by “bronze”. It would be a great incentive to buy tickets right from the start of the season wouldn’t it, and everyone would know the score from the outset.
Instead we have the kind of damaging fiasco we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks, with the rules seemingly made up as we go along, and random people getting to Wembley ahead of genuine supporters.
I reckon most clubs use pretty much the same website & online ticket facilities, in which case setting up a common system to handle this ought to be piece of cake.
Why don't you buy a season ticket now for the rest of the season ?
Half season tickets have been withdrawn from sale by the club in the last few days G, so impossible to get.
Just to add that as it happens, I am quite confident that I will have the tickets that I and my fellow lifetime fans need. Every post I have made on this topic has been about the principle of treating CCFC supporters fairly, not my narrow personal interests.
The clear set of Wembley priorities that was published just before the semi final as a way of making people buy tickets* was completely changed by the club after the event! If that's not making it up as you go along, I don't know what is. Surely nobody would defend that?What rules have been made up?

* Again this didn't affect me personally, because I already had stubs for earlier rounds of the Checkatrade which had been stated to give a higher level of priority over the semi-final (which I still went to anyway).
Sorry Nick, I genuinely don't quite understand the Brighton point. Anyway, see my post No. 307 for the unfairness, which was absolutely blatant.Where haven't they been treated fairly? It was the same as it was against Brighton in a previous round, were many claiming unfair then?

Note to self: stop banging on about this Calista, you're alright, you're going to have Wembley tickets. Walk on by.
But whereas they were promised a higher level of priority, now they are lumped in with anyone who has bought any ticket for the whole season (including this Saturday's match!). It's not a priority system, it's basically general sale isn't it?They still do get priority for being to a home game.
I do have season tickets and have secured my seats for Wembley but just like in 87 the club has turned this into a confused shambles. Season ticket holders should have been given 4 tickets each and those with Checkatrade stubs could be second priority along with all other attendees for any other game this season.Why don't you buy a season ticket now for the rest of the season instead of moaning?
