    We went to Boxpark for the playoff final. Yes you have to book. Reasonable food and drink. Very manic and pre match felt like a post match celebration. There's a stage and music, plus some ex players. Reidy and Chettle were there.

    Isn't the box park dependent on what "end" you get? Are we the same as the playoffs?

    Any recommendations for pubs / bars / restaurants near the ground, ideally ones that we could potentially reserve a table in, or at least guarantee entry? We weren't organised at all for the play off final, and spent a long time queuing without success near the ground - ended up going in early and drinking overpriced Budweiser.

    Could you park top end of the Jubilee Line at like 10am, do 45 minutes tube into town, few hours boozing, then 20 minutes back up to the ground?

    Presume you mean Stanmore? If so, something to be aware of is that you trigger ULEZ cameras in the short distance between leaving the M1 at junction 4 and turning into the car park. I found this out to my cost and ended up with a £70 fine through the post a fortnight later.

    I went to a sports bar (amongst others) in Marylebone before the playoffs, London Trickies used it so it was Forest themed.

    We have the East end apparantly, no idea what that means for Box Park (which is on the North side).

    Ticket details released. Some priority to people who've been to previous fa cup games.

    I'm guessing this does not mean the 1991 final

    I can't be the only one who is having a complex time working out when we can buy.

    I think 2 of us are window 1 and three of us window 2, with a potential for another in window 5

    I need to try for seats where people won't stand up for my mum so will probably buy in the two separate windows to get best choice and hope to get ones close together.

    I'm ok with going for the top price (£150) which might help choice as I'd imagine cheaper ones will be more attractive to many

    9 April window for me. Glad I suffered through that Luton cup game now.

    And I get nothing for also suffering through Ipswich.

    Assume Jim did Ipswich too to get 9 April.

    Ah right. Checked again and i could buy on Tuesday (ST holder) but my mate didn't go to any cup games, so I'm on Wednesday.

    Which has pissed me off.

    I pay for a my forest pro membership so should be given priority after season ticket holders. Like for league and cup games.

    They have a made a straight forward process more complex than it needs to be.

    Presumably to be able to flog more memberships and early cup round tickets in the next few seasons.

    It says tickets will sell out in sales window 5, which is the one I’ll be having a stab at. So I might not get one. Fuck the fuck off.

    Given my location I wouldn’t even consider using the coach, but £45 is a piss take. Even cashing in on the travel aspect.

    I don't understand. You ARE being given priority?

    www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2025/april/04/ticket-details---fa-cup-semi-final/

    Are you in the position where you've not been to a single FA Cup game? So you'll be competing against the people in the below member level who have been to 2+ cup games? I wouldn't worry, I'll be amazed if you don't get tickets.

    What I think they could have done better is tell people up front what the process would be for later cup rounds rather than donut retrospectively..
