Everton has announced the system they will use for allocating FA Cup Final tickets to the club's fans. Unsurprisingly, there are not enough tickets to go around. In fact, there are not enough tickets to ensure that every season ticket holder, as the club itself identifies 'some of the most loyal fans', will get to see the side in the final at Wembley on May 30th.
So now the fight for a ticket begins in earnest. Well, actually from midday on Wednesday through to May 6th - the closing date for applications. The official site outlines the application process but if you haven't attended three matches in addition to owning a season ticket, you can forget Wembley. Having reviewed the process again just now, I still have a feeling the club will find itself short even allowing for this reward system. We've played so many extra games this term, I simply can't believe that there won't be significant demand over and above the club's assessment.
A quick peak at the various message boards and comments by Everton's support online reveals every possible emotive fear and doubt about the system Everton has opted for with dispensing it's allocation of tickets. The nagging feeling that the much maligned Box Office will manage to make a pig's ear of the whole thing is a recurring theme. Sadly, there are no alternatives.
In Box Office We Trust.

Away from Cup Final ticket dilemma, I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping to see Newcastle get beat this evening placing their Premier League future in doubt. No group of fans deserve trips to Peterborough, Doncaster and Blackpool more.
