ClaretandHugh has finally discovered the timetable for supporters wanting to buy their tickets for the FA Cup replay against Manchester United.
Season ticket holders were able to able to get theirs today starting from 9 am but many fans contacted CandH with conflicting reports on how they had or had not been able to get hold of theirs.
Season ticket relocations which provides priority to the STB Stand ST holders to any ST seats not taken up by existing ST holders can be bought on Thursday March 24 from 9 am.
Members will be able to apply on Saturday March 26 from 9 am and the remainder – subject to availability- will be on general sale from 10 am on March 28.
The later start time is due to the Bank Holiday and Mark Noble Testimonial and tickets.
We understand that an announcement was made on the official site at some point over the last 24 hours but was then removed. However, this evening we have managed to establish the sales programme and clear up any outstanding issues.
Someone on another forum said that if you ring up the usual number and press 1 you get through to their “out of hours number. So I did just that and thankfully in about 10 minutes I got through and was able to book my seat.
Now this is the thing, the young lady I spoke to said there has been plenty of confusion and many fans ringing up have been complaining, she also said that the deadline for ST Holders to purchase their seat for the replay is TONIGHT
So if anyone still has to book theirs, I suggest doing so tonight.
I tried to get a season ticket at the start of the season but they “ran out”.
I have been to 20 matches so far, home and away. I have also been to away games, as a home supporter just to see the hammers.
Wanted to go to man utd last week end and Chelsea. Couldn’t because of “so called” season ticket holders, where were they at Everton and Blackburn?
Now for the fa cup replay so called season ticket holders have now got a week before real supporters can get their tickets.
The club doesn’t really care about the Members Scheme.
We have to pay 40 quid, so we get on the Priority List for season tickets. What they don’t tell you is that the season tickets have been sold the 42000. What chance do we have!!!!
So what happens to all the 40 quids, it’s just another money making scheme. Phone calls to the is another rip off. What about using bt numbers? 0871 on mobile is 45p, and 13p on landline = rip off.
I pay between 100/150 quid per match. Ticket, train tickets, hotels, meals and finally programs. My money won’t last for ever. I have retired.
When are all the prices coming down!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you really just say season ticket holders are not real supporters or that they should not be given priority before members??? Have a word with yourself feller.
There is what 20000+ ST Holders, not all of them can go and watch every away game. Because away from home you are not allowed 20000+ away fans.
The reason you buy a ST, is so you get to see every home game, keep the same seat around your friends and fellow fans, and to get priority for cup games including semi finals and finals.
I have been to nearly 1000 West Ham games, home and away. But because I have been a season ticket holder for a quarter of a century, i guess I am “not a real supporter”
The things you learn.
You’d have thought the club could communicate clearly to all supporters by now given we have a website and social media accounts.
Whilst there is much to praise Gold and Sullivan for, sometimes the Club is simply clueless!
I live in the US and am desperately looking for 3 tickets for this game or the Arse one. Anybody willing to sell them to me ? Let me know, I have to put on standby my plane tickets and London accommodation plans until I find out if I can actually go to the match…
Hi Hugh..What Is the actual date of the replay?? PLEASE
http://www.claretandhugh.info/fa-cup-quarter-final-reply-date-is-set/
It looks likely to be the 6th April but it’s still not been officially announced!
I have been on the whufc.com website this evening (Sunday) and can find no facility as a season ticket holder to buy my tickets. Indeed, the game is not even mentioned on the website. So whoever gave you the info has led you up the garden path! Sorry Hugh.
I think the problem with the date is to do with the UEFA Champions League and TV – the next round of Champions League are on the 5th and 6th April – Bayern Munich/Benfica and Barcelona/Athletico Madrid on Tuesday 5th and Wolfsburg/Real Madrid and PSG/Man City on Wednesday 6th – these matches are already being shown on BT Sports.
The FA Cup this year is being split between BT and BBC – I would imagine BBC want to show the West Ham/ManU replay but BT would be afraid of it hitting their audience figures, which are already causing concern to UEFA, and some sort of special clearance would be required from UEFA.
