Its really unclear on the club website. Do you get one tickets per stub (ie 1 person + 4 stubs = 4 tickets) or do you need one ticket per person with stub (ie 4 people + 4 stubs = 4 tickets). I would assume the former but you never know when it comes to BFC ticketing arrangements! Got mine, just trying to find out for my dads mate. Cheers
Another question, perhaps Trust can answer, if I give me Ipswich stub to someone to use for Wembley can I a) expect to get it back from turnstile operator albeit possibly marked which is because b) it my also be valid as a final queue-jumper?
pure speculation but.. if by some miracle we make the final The club will use attendance of another home game...say Sheff U for instance to get some priority. The ipswich stubs will have no value. The only way to be sure would be attend remaining home games 25,000 would be the likely allocation 7000 ST holders would get probably 2 each, centenary members 1 each, 2000 will go to invisible sales leaving abart 7000 to sell in some other way
20000? how'd yer work that figure out? Surely it would still be near the allocation for the semi shouldn't it? (chinny)
no..but its abart 25k apparantly chelski and manure got 25k last year. http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/TheFACup/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2007/04/CupFinalTickets.htm
doh..more here he Football Association has explained its allocation of FA Cup final tickets. Finalists Chelsea and Manchester United have each been given 25,000 tickets, with a further 17,000 seats taken by Club Wembley members on 10-year leases. The remaining 23,000 tickets will go to other clubs alongside grass roots and other football organisations. A spokesman said: "The final belongs to the whole country, it's also a chance to reward the thousands who give up their time and energy to football." 606: DEBATE 40,000 Cup final tickets going elsewhere is dreadful JT The 23,000 tickets go to groups the FA calls "the football family", which include the 92 professional football clubs, 134 full member clubs, Uefa, Fifa and county and international football associations. Chelsea and Manchester United's own sponsors will be given tickets from the club's allocation, meaning not all of their 25,000 tickets will be available to fans. Chelsea have already made public their disappointment at the decision. In a statement on their website, Chelsea said: "We were very disappointed to receive this news as many of our regular fans will now miss out on a great day for both clubs." The move also raises the possibility of tickets being sold to desperate fans for well above their face value on the black market and internet auction sites, something the FA say they're ready for. The spokesman told BBC Sport: "We strongly urge fans not to buy any FA Cup final tickets on the black market. These fans will face a real risk of not getting into the game. "Security measures are in place to prevent people selling on or counterfeiting tickets."

to answer the original question..... 1 Ipswich ticket gets you 1 semi final ticket and there is a maximum of 4 tickets per person. So if you have 4 stubs then you can go on your own to get your tickets, if you have 5 stubs you need to take someone with you, etc.
