Remember Charlie Bucket when there was only 5 golden Tickets in the whole wide world and Charlie Bucket got one of those tickets in the end????



Like a few other posters have said whoever wants a ticket will get a ticket!!!!



Just be carefull you dont bang into Eld Slug-Worth on your way home!!!

You won't need to queue at all. I'll be purchasing one online when it goes to general sale.



I don't even expect the match to completely sell out and strongly suspect any ticketless Wires on the day who want to go will be able to walk up and pay into the Huddersfield end.

We have 8000 season ticket holders, but not all of them are going to go, there will be quite a few who don't go to away games. Say Hudds send back 3000 then that is 8,600 for us which will be plenty I reckon. Another reason that they won't sell out is that the tickets for the seated stand in the centre are £26 for adults which is a rip off as well. I know that tickets for our North Stand are expensive but not a lot went to the Bradford game in the North Stand when it was that expensive.

We have this debate every time we have a big game. Tickets are always easy to come by unless you leave it until the very last minute and even then there's always someone with spares.

The crowds for semi finals can be artificially reduced though by being in these small grounds.



By limiting the initial allocation to season ticket holders getting 1 each it does lower the crowd. I understand why they do it, and agree with benefits to ST holders, but it does artificially limit the crowd.



In our group who went to Magic on Saturday, only half of them were season ticket holders. This now means that our group of 10/11 won't be able to go and get seats together for the semi final. My mum for example wouldn't go and not sit with my dad who is a season ticket holder.



By playing the semi finals in small grounds with low allocations it does limit the number of people who will attend.



Semi finals should be a party atmosphere where you can attend with your friends and family, and maybe seen as an attempt to convert a few lapsed or new fans, but I don't think it achieves this at the moment.



Sure we'll sell 6k or so and everybody will make out that the number is those who were interested, but the reality is that in different circumstances the potential Wire crowd is 10-12k, and that is proven.

Got to agree Dave. If we can take 5000+ to Manchester for a league game that we were very strong favourites for then surely we ought to have ambitions of being able to at least double that for an exciting semi final that could easily go either way and brings the reward of a place at Wembley rather than just 2 points. Your argument about the casual fans being put off is spot on.



One query on seated tickets - does anyone know if they are Reserved or Unreserved?

Believe they are reserved SEB.

If season ticket holders want to go the match with non season ticket holders they can either get standing tickets or wait for general sale and get seats together then.



It will NOT sell out before you get the opportunity to do this - FACT

I would disagree

You would be wrong then.

Can't argue with that, the capital letters are out.

Three of us ST holders are away that weekend...every little helps!
