Seems like this page has gone nuts over the last few days.

Message to the bloke who is selling his ticket, you badly worded your "advert" which suggests to me that you want this to become a bidding war and the least you expect is face value. You know full well that tickets that are being sold for face value will be snapped up in seconds, and I mean seconds.

The other geezer that wants to offer £150 for an upper tier ticket, lol. You wont get them off touts for anywhere near that price, and most gooners on here that have spares will offer them to mates at face value.

Yup good luck, I am also sweating on the ballot. We have 25k tickets, I recogn 10k have been snapped up by seaso ticket holders with 3 or more away credits. That means 15,000 into 32,000, pretty much a coinflip as we say in poker circles.

I'm not accusing anyone of touting but just a word of caution lads. Be careful who you buy from the FA Cup final is a great occasion but it's not worth getting stitched up over or paying vast amounts of money for.

Just be careful

Its a 4-500 quid punt with a tout isn't it really. That coupled with most of my mates wont pay that amount to go will probably mean I have to sit on my own with a bunch of muppets who have no interest in the football in something like club level. I will only part with money with tickets in hand, meaning I would expect to meet someone first and know exactly who they are before I buy.

That Abbey travel deal is now €1,100

I never win anything, not even a blow on the head, but there must be ticket competitions in the papers? (desperate, I know, but I'm not eligible for an official ticket). Can anyone post the links if and when you see them, cheers.

I would imagine pretty much anybody eligible for a guaranteed ticket will buy one, even if it is for them to give/sell on to family/friend.

I don't know what the numbers are but 10,000 seems a bit low than me? I would have imagined more than a quarter of ST holders have been to 3+ away games in the last 2 years.

You'd be surprised... None of the guys around us in the family enclosure have 3+ away credits. There are a lot of older fans, or guys who go with their kids, who never go to away games. Or the only away games they go to are semi finals and finals, for which you don't get an away credit!

But I would also wonder how many of the 25000 are truly "available" to start with. The club will surely skim at least 1000 off the pile for players, staff, directors and other assorted hangers on...

Same here, we are lower tier near redaction and no one around us goes to away games. I think 10k is at the top end tbh.

I follow Twitter and different sites but it will be hard to hit for a good opportunity.
Thanks.
In true Arsenal fashion I can go to £150.01

Word of warning as well for anyone buying from an unofficial source... I know that a lot of people got stung at the CL Final after paying vastly over face value for tickets that turned out to be fake. If you are going to pay inflated prices, then at least make sure it's from a source you can trust...which rules out a certain salesman on this thread!
