just thinking about it now, how much longer can it realistically be? they’re going to want to have different priority sales starting on different days, and won’t we need a covid test 5 days prior? 8 days till the game. blimey 

Walk in Test is less than 48 hours before the game apparently so no need to panic .....

There’s a real beauty to all these “but I deserve a ticket” moans. The priority system is objective: you go to more games, you get more points.

 

If a game rolls round with a restricted number of tickets that are available then of course it is fair and logical to use that system and reward those who have rewarded you most with their support over the years. There’s no reasonable argument against it!

 

The only people who seem to have a problem with this, funnily enough, are those who know they don’t have enough points to get a ticket. As much as they get stick, that lot that sit on coach one every week and never miss a game deserve to be there more than those who don’t and go sporadically.

 

Imagine if it was a lottery and someone who’d never been away got a ticket at the expense of someone who had been to every game for 5 years...! It would be a disgrace.

 

And don’t get me started on the “I’m a key worker” nonsense. You might be. You did your job, that you are paid to do, in the profession you chose to enter. Everyone has had hardship in their own way throughout these lockdowns and everyone has contributed to the cause (whether that’s on a ward, keeping the economy going, or taking a cut in pay to help companies survive) but there seems to be a trend towards ‘key worker’ starting to mean ‘martyr’.

 

Give them a thank you. Pay them fairly. Don’t bring them into a discussion about FA Cup tickets.

Having such limited tickets for an occasion like this is going to inevitably piss someone off. Even if there was 30,000 available, someone will be arguing they deserve a ticket because they had a season 20 years ago. I think I deserve something for sitting  through the rubbish before relegation to league 1 and then the promotion back. Barely been since lol

 

It's not the clubs fault the allocation is so small or the processes that will be in place. 

 

Season ticket with away points 

Season ticket holders 

Members 

 

How else are they supposed to do it? Only other way is a random ballot for all season ticket holders but then that will rightly piss off people who have been to every away game. 

Only annoys me if people have built away points without actually going but not sure that can still be done these days. 

 

The club didn't choose this to be a test event either which makes it very different to a normal game, yet they'll get a lot of unnecessary hate for it.

Yeah it's not the clubs fault at all to be honest. I'm a bit torn because someone like Jonathan should be going, but is being robbed by the ridiculous restrictions, but he certainly is wrong when he implies he should be entitled to one because he followed the rules and was a key worker.

 

It's the people who sit between 6,250 and 40,000 on the priority list I feel sorry for.

Not complaining before anyone has a go.

 

My situation:

Followed LCFC for nearly 50 years.

Season ticket holder with unbroken support since the Filbert Street days and now with my two Sons at KP stadium since they were old enough in the early 2000's.

Travelled to nearly all away games during the early/mid eighties and regularly until the late nineties but don't get to many away games now days.

 

Very difficult for the club to distribute such a small allocation for such a huge game, so priority on away points is probably the fairest way and I don't begrudge those people a ticket.

 

But would like to think that I am more deserving of a ticket than most particularly as this is not really an away game, it is an FA Cup final at Wembley. I'm sure there are plenty of others in a similar situation to me, unfortunately we are victims of the pandemic restrictions. I just hope that the club ensure that our full allocation of tickets is distributed properly down through the priorities to the real supporters.

 

Come on Leicester, win it for the City and for Kun Vichai. :scarf:

Must admit given this fella’s track record on the socials, this is something. 
 

The City Help Twitter account has taken a battering today, the natives are restless 

Imagine if this wet wipe misses out on a Spurs ticket too lol

 

I feel for anyone who can't go who would in normal circumstances, but playing victim in this is pathetic and makes him look a right dick,

There is no fairer way. 

 

The only thing that you could complain about is the abuse of the away priority system. A lot will be in P1/P2 having bought up their tickets and selling them on, but I've been guilty of using a mate's reference on a number of occasions and haven't bought anywhere near as many using my own ST. It's meant that I have less than 300 points and won't be going, but that's the way it is. Short of some miracle, I'll be watching on TV with my old man.

 

The only other solution I can think of is to ban fans for frequent use of clappers, which is a measure that I think Jonathan would almost certainly fall foul of.

Once upon a time you were. You’re not now unfortunately.

This is part of a wider element of LCFC Twitter, but there are so many showoffs who seem to post stuff or are weirdly cult-like in terms of an individual player or the club/owners. Strange place.

 

However weird Jonathan is (and I'm one of the throng who have no interest in reading his guff) he's a microcosm of how some people are desperately seeking to justify why they deserve a ticket. I've done X, Y, Z, I've supported for 800 years. I went to Sep Smith's debut, I walked to Wembley with a broken fibula.

 

Seems to be a bit of the old "carboard box in t' middle of the road" one-upmanship. It's almost as bad as the few gloaty fans who know they'll get a ticket, tbh.

 

Agree with Stuntman though, if he ends up without a ticket it'll be amazing.
