Whatever way the tickets are sold there are always going to be people disappointed. I'm in the second batch and hoping I'll get one first thing. Been to the three other cup games and a few other aways this season, but didn't have a season ticket in the championship as I worked the gate so its cost me. Girlfriend was a student at the time and as I know loads of friends and family going palace there was no need to buy tickets at the time you'd just get a spare. Guess I better start scanning my season ticket when I buy a beer from now on.

Yeah, I think the system is pretty fair. Has to be some way of trying to be equitable and the club is doing its best.
Should be no problem with tickets for the semi-final anyway. :-)

Agghh sold out!!! I am a season ticket holder who goes to six or so away games a season and still could not get a ticket. Our allocation must be minuscule. Not a huge ground I guess. At least I can watch it from the comfort of my sofa - not the same though is it?

I know it says Sold Out online, but do check back - it said sold out at 9am and 9:05am but then more tickets came online - or were you told this on the phone?

I don't agree, I've been going to Palace for nearly 40 years, since I was seven. I've had a season ticket for 35 years and I've already got mine for next year. I've been to all our Wembley vists,I saw every game in the 1990 FA cup final run including Cambridge away, the last minute win at Stockport where we stayed up, saw us go down at Charlton, and around 60 away grounds, but I don't meet your criteria so if you'd decided I wouldn't get a ticket! By your reckoning someone that's just started supporting Palace and been to four games this year would get a ticket over me. Well I've already got my ticket and I believe that the points system does work because it rewards those that have had season tickets for at least the last five.
deffo the fairest way to do it , I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be so hard to get a ticket for this game 5 years ago so rewards people who have had season tickets before the prem when we didn't sell out every game .
if we stay up for a fifth season then the johnny come lately premier leaugue season ticket holders will be on the same points as me and ive had a season ticket for 25 years . I go to between 7 and 10 away games but I don't buy any merchandise which pays out as much points as an away game , but that's another subject

I was gutted as I actually got a ticket at one point online, but unlike before it wouldn't allow me to get my mates ticket who is on my friends and family list. Obviously the system has changed as we have always got each other's tickets/allocation before to ensure we sit together.
Still, as others have said, at least we can watch it on the TV!

Alright folks, I was 400 points off the target of points needed for an away ticket for reading. Since they've now sold out I'd pay over the odds for one so anyone who has got a spare please give me a message. Been all the other FA Cup games including saints away. Spurs & Stoke & I'd really like to get to this one, Got the day booked off work in advance so anyone who's got one just message me, cheers

To be fair to the club, they opened the box office at 8:30 this morning and they needed to sell to people queuing up before they released the last few tickets on the internet.
Shame we weren't given more tickets.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Should have spent £100 online in the clubshop increasing your points to 2800 then when the stuff arrives send it back,

Would check that as you should get 500 points regardless if you spend £1000 or £250 on a ST you get the same 500 points.
