    Eminently possible we can go all the way this season. Any travel information, ticketing details when announced by the club please put them here.

    Ticket prices were initially announced for 2015 and 2016, but 2016's semi-final prices have since been reduced back to the 2014 prices (and prices for the final all reduced by £5, starting at £45).

    As such, we're looking at the following prices (for adult tickets):

    Cat 4: £30
    Cat 3: £40
    Cat 2: £50
    Cat 1: £60

    I'd expect us to get between 30k and 32k tickets, based on our recent sales history.

    The semi-finals will be on either Sat 23rd April or Sun 23 April.

    Also wonder whether it'll be the home or away categorisation. I'd expect we'll get information within a week or so, but there's an incredible six weeks until the games! Let's hope the team step their performances up in the league to earn their places in the semi-final.

    Is the allocation for the semi final usually much different to the final?

    Liverpool received 31,997 tickets last season for the semi. In contrast, Arsenal and Villa got 25k each for the final.

    Thanks.

    I'd imagine that will be enough then for Cat C buyers to get at either match

    Yup. Much lower for the final. Probably not an issue for a club of our stature mind you.

    Bet the FA would love a Palace/Watford final - more tickets for the suits?

    We'll get around 25,000 for the final if we get there.

    The FA give tickets to all the FA affiliates in England (i.e. Middlesex FA, Herts FA, Essex FA etc) as it's their showcase event.

    The League Cup gives a 50/50 share to the teams in the final.

    Let's just hope the club remember why the 1881 came into existence in the first place and sort out an appropriate singing section in the lower tier at Wembley this time around.

    I will be surprised if we sell over 25000 for the semi, wonder if the club wil subside the tickets for the semi?

    But that was in the era of Zola's expansive all conquering cavaliar style of football - things are different now

    It will be 1 ticket per Fan ID only.

    Let's hope we sell out

    I'm guessing the TV companies are waiting to see whether West Ham or Man U get through before deciding which is on BBC and which on BT. That will then decide which game is which day.

    There's no way they're gonna drag this out another two weeks surely?

    They will decide it before then.

    Can't see the difference between West Ham and Manchester United making a difference to our game being the less attractive one. It's a bit odd it's taking so long. Maybe there is some small print involving Manchester United (nothing would surprise me) that means that currently BBC have the Everton game but BT would get it if United go through. Or maybe some negotiating is going on to buy out the "first choice" option of one of the broadcasters. Sounds outrageous I know but really struggling to think of a reason for the delay.

    If that's true that works for me because I can still go on a stag do up in Wales for a Palace fan on the Friday/Saturday
