Does anyone know if the club are buying tickets back for those who can’t go?
Considering they’re struggling to sell the allocation, I very much doubt it.
Hi lads, wasn’t sure whether to make a new thread about his but i’ll pop it in here to start.
Essentially, i live in Aberdeen in Scotland and my little brother is a massive latics fan. Due to the distance/trouble getting from here to wigan i’ve never been able to take him down to a game before. However, getting to London from up here is very simple and surprisingly cheap so the semi final would be ideal.
The problem is, as i’m sure you’re aware, we need a previous purchasing history to be able to get tickets for the game, and obviously we do not have that. So i was wondering if any fans that are able to get tickets but unable to attend the match itself would be willing to purchase the tickets on our behalf and send them up to us. I realise i’ve left this pretty late but we were hoping on a friend of a friend who knows Fraser Fyvie to come through with the goods.
Anyway thanks for reading and any help would be amazing, just send me a PM if you can be our hero!
Have you tried ringing the ticket office and explaining your situation? Some people without purchasing history have managed to get tickets.
Ring the ticket office pretty sure you will get tickets
Ticket office are not budging unfortunately, even if it’s not sold out and there’s leftover tickets (which is inevitable) the requirement for previous purchasing history stands. Fairly ridiculous.
As anyone asked the ticket office or more importantly Sir Dave Whelan….Why a previous buying history with the club is needed!? How the hell do we expect to attract NEW supporters if they won’t sell them a ticket!? This is pure maddnes and a good opportunity missed. ….How can the NEW supporters get on the database if they won’t sell them a ticket!????
They sell tickets openly to anyone, without being on the database, for EVERY game except a few higher profile games. That’s how you get on the database. Turn up against Swansea, or Fulham, or whenever there’s an offer.
TBH If someone is not on the database, having been at least to one game that hasn’t involved Liverpool or United in the past few years, then I think they are hardly going to be the people who will be attracted to come more often. Ten times zero is still zero.

No in all seriousness though how many potential new fans could we realistically atrract via a trip to wembley who have never purchased or know someone who has purchased a ticket at some point in the past 8 years?
I think Moizzy is the acception and not the rule unfortunately.
However if it was down to me as long as Milwall had tickets left in all price brackets I would then allow them to be sold to people off the database once all ST holders and databasers had their opporunity to purchase. ( on second thoughts I probably wouldnt as going off Milwalls reputation I bet they have their fair share of banned supporters who could use this to cause trouble)
Like a set of old women banging on & on about how many tickets we have managed to sell get a grip people :woohoo:

woah woah woah what’s this ignorant sod business :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
ive heard as low as 14k have been sold dont no if theres any truth in it so dont start asking who my source is and arguing whether we have or we havent lets just all wait and see sureley the club will announce something
I would say inbetween 16, 000 and 20, 000 and millwall have not sold out and they are not asking for anymore.
