Romey 1878 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 That is worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I actually find that all really confusing. Does anyone know how many people are signed up to the auto-cup allocation system? And with that info who gets first priority? That piece is written very badly and I find it hard to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I actually find that all really confusing. Does anyone know how many people are signed up to the auto-cup allocation system? And with that info who gets first priority? That piece is written very badly and I find it hard to follow. Exactly what i was thinking. Does it mean everyone with a season ticket gets an equal shout, regardless of credits? im confuddled man :confused02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Also will add, unlucky to any non-season ticket holders, as it states in the piece that there is bascially no hope of getting a ticket if you don't have a season ticket and that a season ticket holder can't purchse a ticket for a non season ticket holder, though how they would monitor this is beyond me,. Though its the FA to blame with there frankly disgusting manner of ticket allocation. Once again fans lose out to the big money men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a lucky1 who will get a shout but those who don't i feel for.

jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Exactly what i was thinking. Does it mean everyone with a season ticket gets an equal shout, regardless of credits? im confuddled man :confused02: Thats what it seems like, or its 3 away/cup games, then the rest. God i really don't understand. It's annoying as I had gone under the assumption they would sell tickets as they had done previosuly and the more games you attended the more chance you would have, hence why I have spent large amounts of money for tickets and travel to as many away games as possible. I did the london trip twice in three days and will be travelling up to sunderland this weekend also was going to book fulham game, i purchased all these tickets as i thought it would help as it would boost me to 9 or 10 credits, but if its only three! It seems like I have spent alot of money that I could not really afford in a vain attempt to help secure my final place. I'm not annoyed at the club though, they can't help how shit the FA have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I read it as Season ticket holders (full & half) are allowed to apply for a ticket. The club will then allocate tickets, taking into account your preference, based on how many credits you have. Tickets will be allocated to season ticket holders depending on how many credits you have down to 3 credits They will then allocate tickets to members of the auto cup scheme as stated.... thats how I see it..... More concerning...... not wanting to start a bad rumor.. apparently we could be giving out around 3000 tickets to our "corporate family" just info from a mate in the ticket office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The thing that I find worrying is that there is no transparency in how they do the tickets this time. IMO they should sell them how every game is sold, first day they sell to people have been to everything (if you have been to every home/away/cup/europen game then you should be very very very first priority) then each day knock a little off the credits. The lack of transparency worries me for some reason, not saying fraud will take place, but, well, it could and this system seems to help it.

DangerMouse Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) ^^^^ I think your right... hence my comment about our corporate family getting tickets.... doing it the usual way we could probably gauge how many tickets had been sold.... Do you get my thinking? doing it this way we will just get to see the big SOLD OUT sign.. prob on the wednesday evening Edited April 27, 2009 by DangerMouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm going to call the club and try and get some clarity as the website does not really help at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 They where not a great deal of help but I do have a better grasp on it now:- -All season ticket holder applicants have to apply at the same time. -When they applications arrive they are put into different catorgories:- All games, 10+, 6+, 4+, 3+, season ticket holder only. -They then work through from the top catagory allocating tickets. -They predict that assuming every season ticket holder applies (and they will) that only people who have attended 3 or more additional games will have a chance. It doesn't make sense why the choose to do it all at once rather than seperating allocations to different days like they usually do. Though when I asked the ticket office they said that the FA asked for it to be carried out like this, it's not the clubs wishes. There's a surpirse!

StevO Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 well we have 25,000 tickets, we have approx 23,000 STH's, so we must assume the club has boxed of the friends of EFC. i think its as fair as it could have been, considering we are being screwed by the fa. ironically, it seems by best chance of a ticket for this one is with one the "football family" through carlsberg.

I think it's more like 3000 to 'friends' Stevo (as someone said earlier) as they've said some season ticket holders will miss out. I think that's too many personally particularly as I said in an earlier post that I know of somebody with a link to the club via a former partner obtaining (at least) 20 top price tickets for the semi from the club. That said, 25k tickets is a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beard Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 If I am reading it correctly then I reckon I am ok for a final ticket. But I agree with everyone regarding the allocation, it is just so galling. Imagine the money shelled out all season then not getting a ticket when along comes some folk who are after a day out at Wembley and obtain corporate tickets or tickets via website ticket sellers or even through the Wembley season ticket scheme, its so fucking annoying, Its not as though its a nominal amount like 3-5,000 but nealry 40,000 tickets. The FA, one bleeding joke of an organisation, god knows how they would sort the World Cup out, if they got it. p.s on the subject of tickets and the semi-final, a source of mine informs that a certain Mr Gerrard and Mr Barton received tickets direct from Everton and from a person from a high position.

StevO Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Mr Gerrard and Mr Barton could have got tickets through Liverpool Football Club and Newcastle United Football Club, as they both entered the FA Cup, they would have had a certain allocation.

The Beard Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I agree StevO but I am reliably informed that they received some from Everton as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprooly Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 seems like all the shareholders are getting tickets which sounds sort of reasonable but the allocation in the first place was a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well I think I've got 5 credits and I'm on the AutoCup scheme so hopefully I'll be able to get a ticket. Fingers crossed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ive got a season ticket and I have went to the semi but I dont think that matters, does anyone think I have much chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Going to the semi will help as it will have added a credit to your account. It's worth a go applying. Have you been to any other games that where not on your season ticket? When I spoke to the box office they predicted that you would probably need 3 credits and above to stand a real chance, of course that is on the estimation that all season ticket holders will apply (which they probably will do, but for some the £78- £93 ticket price might be too much) Edited April 28, 2009 by jamiemaher85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheedysheedysheedy Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I was told on the phone that it was as its all cup games counted. The eligible games are named on the OS and the semi isn't one of them! Could be a typo but if Elstone is also saying that then I guess you were misinformed Jamie. That means I've only got 3 additional so have got everything crossed, particularly as train and hotel are already booked and paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 the semi doesnt count - maybe because it is neither a home or away? just a guess really. but i can see why they didnt count it as about 30,000 will have that on their allocation, so it will be pretty worthless imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Application form on the OS. Good luck lads, hope you're all successful . https://www.evertonfc.com/facup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
