Bluebirds FA Cup Final Ticket Allocation Announced

Cardiff City have announced there ticketing arrangements for the FA cup final as follows

07/08 Ambassadors who have renewed for next season – 2 tickets.

·07/08 Ambassadors who have not renewed for next season – 1 ticket.

·07/08 Season Ticket Holders – 1 ticket.

·New 08/09 Ambassadors – 1 ticket.

This is fair enough in my opinion but one worryingly addition is the postal applications. The club, in order to cut the queues that sprang up at Ninian Park for the Semi Final tickets has decided that fans will not be able to que until Monday 28th April when this seasons ambassadors will be able to buy tickets – here is a full list of dates.

• Mon 28^thApril -Wed 30^th April – 07/08 Ambassadors in the Main Grandstand

• Thur 1^st May -Sat 3^rd May – 07/08 Ambassadors in Bob Bank Seating & Family Stand

• Mon 5^th May -Wed 7^th May – 07/08 Ambassadors in Bob Bank Terrace/Grange End Terrace

• Thur 8^thMay – Sat 10^th May – 07/08 Season Ticket Holders (Non-Ambassadors) & New 08/09 Ambassadors

• Monday 13^th May – Away Travel Members on a first come first served basis subject to availabilityThe Ticket Office will be open from 9.00am to 5.00pm on the above dates.

What worries me is the ability of the club to totally make a complete hash of postal applications losing applications and whatnot. Also what happens if the particular price range you have gone for has sold out, the price banding is a bit steep and you could be hit with a hefty bill if they give you the next range up. Still its the FA cup final so most of us will pay it so who cares, especially the bandwagon boys who seem to be all around us, yes the 14,000 odd attendance on Saturday against Blackpool really shows what a bunch of loyal supporters we have.

Oh well lets look forward to the final and lets just hope the postal applications goes smoothly, oh do the Royal Mail with there track record know 20 odd thousand pieces of mail to Ninian Park are on the way? I hope they tell the poor old postie!!

Watch this space,!
