Be really careful if you intend buying a ticket outside the ground mate.....for obvious reasons.

 

Thankfully my tickets arrived intact....

I think it's worth the risk. They have no way of stopping the stolen tickets getting in. I don't want to pay the touts but I've never been to an FA cup final before and i'm desperate to go after being successful in the ballot but not getting one.

How do you know you were successful in the ballot mate? Didn't you say yesterday you'd been unsuccessful? I spoke to the ticket office and they said that the absence of a letter at this stage did not mean you definitely had a ticket. I'm choosing to believe that as otherwise I may go crazy.

 

Can't bring myself to buy off a tout. If it wasn't for those b******s, its unlikely the robbery would ever have happened.

I thought i was unsuccessful yesterday mate. Someone phoned Radio Merseyside today though, and said she was told by the TO that if she hadn't received the letter saying she was unsuccessful by now then she would've got a ticket, but she won't now cos it's to go to the people who had theirs stolen. That makes it even worse.

 

She was looking LFC to give people like her some priority for the community shield if we win.

She can have the f***ing place to herself as far as I'm concerned.

If I don't win Saturdays Lottery can I have priority for Wednesday's draw?

Going ticketless, thought I would have been sorted in the ballot and would have gone anyway I suppose 'cos I've always managed to get a ticket in the past. I've resigned myself that I'm not going to get one now and I think it's right that the ballot tickets are used to replace those stolen, given that the Millenium Stadium were not going to budge.

 

I've never watched a final that I've been to in the pub (make sense?) but there's always a first. Will be glad if it doesn't turn out to be the case but will not, under any circumstance, buy a ticket I know to be stolen.

why, to stop charities getting the money????

 

The Charity Shield payments are a bit of an enigma.

 

The FA

 

The process for distributing funds raised by The FA Community Shield for community based initiatives features the following components:

 

The funds available for distribution include the general admission ticket income net of match expenses and all profits from the sale of the match day programme.

 

At last season?s FA Community Shield the contribution to the fund amounted to 59% of the total income.

 

A section of the fund will be divided between each of the 124 clubs that participated from the First Round Proper of The FA Cup last season. Each club will be asked to nominate a local charity or community based initiative to receive its share of the fund.

 

The remainder of the fund will be donated to The FA Charity Partners. These Charity Partners have been selected for their outstanding work with football through the season and their details will be shown in the match programme.

 

It's not really clear with that, but I can remember being told that the clubs concerned get an 'appearance fee' regardless of sales and the actual monies to charity is less than what the clubs and FA get and keep for themselves.

How much do charities get?

 

Isn't that why they changed the name to the Community Shield, because charities get f*** all??

 

Hmm, maybe boycott the Community Shield and give the money you would have spent on a ticket to your chosen charity. Sounds like a plan.

Two out of our gang of four were going with us but without tickets and then two tickets turned up for them free of charge* (no, seriously!) from a most unusual place! We had to tell them, "yes, Cinders, you WILL be going to the ball." Don't give up hope, a ticket might magically materialise.

 

 

* A serious legitimate source. A slightly disturbing one under the circumstances but all above board and we can all be grateful they've gone to two passionate reds meaning there'll be two suits fewer in the ground and two more real fans.

I honestly don't know, but the general feeling was that Charities were helped a lot with this game, but from what I remember they only get a small percentage of the total revenue. It may have changed since then, but somehow I cannot imagine the FA giving anyone the steam of their s***.

I've not recevied a letter saying i was rejected in the ballot. But given the theft I assume here is no chance of tickets, even at this late stage?

 

Or is it worth calling the club to make sure?

The ballot has been cancelled, the tickets set aside for the ballot are being used to replace the missing tickets. Sorry.
