I expect we are going to get ripped off yet again by ticketmaster charging extortionate fees on top of the expensive telephone call. It just shows how far behind the times PFC really are when a Premiership club cannot sort out a simple on-line booking system !!!

Do we really have to have the whole Ticketmaster whinges yet again? What is the club to do? Employ people to manage a rush for tickets for big occasions? Like that happens every week. Why employ people who then just sit around most of the year and then once in a blue moon have to handle a ticket rush - especially when there is someone out there who does it anyway like Ticketmaster. Don't get me wrong, I know some peoople have not been happy with the Ticketmaster service, but it worked like clockwork for me for the semi final and the final. No complaints.
And the club have reduced the price of the tickets too when they could have tried to cash in. To be honest, if you think you are being ripped off then don't buy a ticket and don't go.

Paul 99. You don't seem too enamored with the concept of change. Did you write that message on a souped up BBC Micro?

I see the official travel company of PFC are selling a one night trip for £399! What a con. I got flights and hotel for 2 nights for less than £150 and I know that I will need to pay for the train and match ticket but its still less than half their price! On a more serious note I see Harry has ruled him self out of the running for West Ham at the first available oportunity - good for him at least we don't have to have a few weeks of speculation. Why would Harry want to go to the hammers when his first ever european adventure is just around the corner PUP

Spin Doctor, if you don't like the way the News reports it's stories stop reading it. Do we really have to go through the whole Fratton End whinges again?

See, your 'argument' can be worked for pretty much any subject. Well done.

and only a possible 5,000 tickets with 1,500 going to those who use thomson? thats ridiculous...with their prices you will only use them as a last resort! im already booked for it all just need the ticket! i hope we get more than 5,000 cos that'll mean about 10,000 people will be fighting for 3,500 tickets! uefa allow upto 25% of the capacity for away fans which for us would be 7,500!

Is Tony Adams right to make changes to the Pompey side who beat Blackburn?

Adams should stick to the side that earned him his first win at Fratton Park

He should only change things around if there are injuries

If Campbell and Kranjcar are fit they should start

Davis deserves a starting role after his heroics against Blackburn

With a heavy fixture schedule coming up, changes are needed
