I would prefer the way it was done for the Semi but with a little twist. The person making the lead booking should have to wait until their phase was "live" but then buy up to ten tickets, one per client number in their group irrespective of their level. For the semi, everyone in your group had to comply to the current phase requirements and this led to many being split up.

I know of a father and his 3 sons who were in different phases simply because dad had more loyalty points because all their club shop purchases for the whole family had been credited to his membership rather than the boys. This meant that his loyalty points meant nothing and he had to wait until a later phase when as four memberships were "live" rather than buy his ticket, hope there were tickets left for the boys when it was their turn and then have to sit away from them at the game.

I am ready, are you? Sheffield here we come.

I'm quite happy with the process as I'm not being punished for not living local to Croydon but being rewarded in the efforts I have made over many years in supporting the club the best way I can from 200 miles away and getting to as many games possible.

I was able to buy a ticket in phase 2 for the semi at Wembley and I'll be at phase 2 again, so should get one.

The only issue I have is that Dad is at phase 3, but we've both agreed to be there and hopefully witness Palace revenging 1990, is more important than being sat together. We'll experience the atmosphere before and after the game together.

Let's do this Palace!

Following the outcry over Final tickets the club has made tickets available to those attending the box office with the following.

Why aren't members (gold) allowed to renew for next season like new season ticket holders are now, to get a few extra points to allow them to move up a phase? Due to work on some Saturdays it is not economical for me to buy a season ticket, but I buy tickets as and when I can attend, so it costs me a lot anyway. However, got membership to show support in other way. Will probably get a ticket anyway, but would just like to be in with my brother who has a season ticket.

I think the semi phasing was right apart from too many phases. Take 1 or 2 out. They know how many we get and how many qualify in the 1st 28,000 so I don't see why they don't. The ones with the most loyalty points get 1st choice on touchline and singing sections and then the next phases much wider.

It sounds like a fantastic investment for a tout to buy a ST if you really can get 500 points by buying before May 3. Double your money on the final ticket, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and Man U in the league. Please Palace, don't allow that.

I would like Palace to record attendance - under 80% for first ten matches in the season gives invitation to visit the box office for re-validation of season ticket. Like many, I was unhappy when a gentleman outside Wembley Park station asked if I needed him to help me get into the Stadium.

It may be that Palace are perceived as not watching their supporters carefully enough; our support had to pay £2.50 to a ticket agency for each ticket for the semi final.
