An extra 250? Gee thanks FA for sweet FA.

Good luck to those still trying to purchase.

If I get one I will be the happiest man alive, if I get two you will be th first to know ........... ;)

[Tea Bar Boy]

Fingers crossed for you !

Does this mean you will want the flag back if succesful ?

[g3.7]

okay, I've never done this and will be trying for the first time today, anyone with experience have any tips?

will I have to keep refreshing the page or something?

any help will be appreciated.

[bonetti]

Start asap and make sure all your credit card details are in sync i.e. do not try and to get them to deliver to an address that is different from the billing address - this caused me problems for the Carling cup last year.

[g3.7]

will check my debit card details now.

also- I'm trying to get one for my dad too... do you know how to buy two tickets (he's also a season ticket holder)?

[ethicalstrategy]

Val, just so you know, the club are selling tickets at a £5 to members for a beam back at the Bridge in the Champions club. Could be worth a look.

[g3.7]

cheers for this info, I'll be trying for two also.

If I wasn't going that's where I'd be, reckon that'll be fantastic.

Someone else bought my FA cup ticket online for me so it must be possible but not sure of the details - I would guess that you can link the 2 of you so long as you have all of your dads log in/password details

[g3.7]

thanks- just rang him and got that.

doesn't matter anyway, my internet is sure to fail at 1:55pm for about 20 minutes. I hate buying tickets (for anything) online.

[bonetti]

Hope you are lucky G

Put a new flint in your modem before you start!

Don't refresh, you'll lose your place in the queue.

[g3.7]

Don't refresh, you'll lose your place in the queue.

so how do you do it- keep going back to the select tickets page and clicking?

I thought I'd just get here and refresh like crazy?

[Gem]

It counts down from 30 (if I remember correctly) and automatically refreshes every 30 seconds. I think it gives a warning that if you click F5 and manually re-fresh you'll lose your place.

[g3.7]

thanks-

so basically at 2pm (when the tickets go on sale), I just enter that page and wait, watching the clock? (there isn't a clock now but I presume that's cos the tickets aren't on sale yet)

[Gem]

Not a clock, but a spinning circle as such. It's the same sort of thing as if you've ever purcahsed tickets on tickermaster.

And yes, click on the "buy tickets" for match you want and you'll be taken into the queue.

Good luck.

oh yeah I have. okay- thanks. I think I have all I need to know.

[Valerie]

More people think it will be fantastic: unfortunately it was already sold out last week

You need to add your Dad as a friend before you can buy tickets using his seaosn ticket - if I recall you need his memebership number, name and postcode. You can add him as a friend anytime so best to do it now rather than at the time.
