FA CUP SEMI FINAL
v Charlton Athletic or Middlesbrough
Sunday, April 23, 2006
At Villa Park, kick-off 4.00pm
With our place in the last four of this season's FA Cup competition now secure, we are delighted to be able to confirm to our season ticket holders selling dates and details of how to apply for match tickets for this prestigious event.
Season ticket holders can download the PDF application form attached right.
With the match now confirmed as being played at Villa Park we are disappointed to advise that the allocation received will be insufficient to accommodate all our season ticket holders and therefore the priority point scheme will need to be used.
As season ticket holders will be aware, the priority point scheme has been in operation for a number of years and ensures that those supporters who have followed the team most regularly receive priority.
Applications from season ticket holders with one or more points are likely to be successful. Applications received from supporters with zero points will be entered into a ballot and only a limited number of such supporters will receive tickets.
Supporters considering applying as a group with any supporters
with zero points, are reminded that the scheme is always
administered by reference to the lowest points total. For this
reason, supporters who have followed the team regularly will
maximise their chances of receiving a semi-final ticket if they do
not apply in a group with a supporter with zero points. The points
total was taken as at 5.00pm Friday 24th March.
Match ticket prices are as follows: £55 - £45 -
£35 - £25
A limited number of concessions are available to both Seniors and Under 16s on the £25 seats only, these tickets are priced at £12.50.
At the time of going to press, we had yet to receive the exact details of the tickets allocated to West Ham United and regret that we can offer no guarantee that the ticket allocated to you will be of a similar position and price band to that of your seat at the Boleyn Ground. Supporters are asked to bear this in mind when applying for match tickets.
Boxes have been provided on the application form that can be downloaded (right) to enable you to state your preference. Please note, however, that should this price not be available we reserve the right to allocate you seats at an alternative price. Please note a £1.50 booking fee will apply to each ticket purchased.
