Town have released ticketing details for the FA Cup third round tie at Chelsea on Sunday 9th January (KO 3pm). The Blues have 3,000 tickets for their second visit to Stamford Bridge in three seasons.

As per the usual process for high profile games, letters to fans who qualify for tickets through regularly attending away games will go out today. Those supporters will have until Saturday noon to purchase their reserved seats.

After that, tickets go on sale to Gold Card holders on Monday 13th December, season ticket holders on Friday 17th December and Silver Card holders on Tuesday 21st December, before they go on general sale on Thursday 23rd December.

Prices are £25 for adults, £12 for seniors and under-16s. More details on the club site.

Facefacts added 16:00 - Dec 6 That's not enough tickets, but we will only have asked for 3,000, and they will go to the genuine supporters. Two years ago that 6,000 sold out very quickly, but there was not that mood of despair that there is now. Think about our recent depressing home gates (irrelevant, because the fair-weather fans want to see their one game of the season, but that's what the club'll have done), not forgetting we get a percentage of the Chelsea gate (percentage of higher gate if we sell 3,000 for certain rather than mess around trying to sell 6,000 and return some). By the time we've sleepwalked through the hoops of selling 3,000 in the right order, Chelsea will have sold out the rest of the ground anyway.

Big_Foot_Blue added 16:01 - Dec 6 Being a season ticket holder who queued for hours on morning of release last time out and missed out Im determined to go to the bridge this time but only 3000 seats and the same old ticket policy... will I even get a look in?

olimar added 16:22 - Dec 6 Anyone who is a season ticket holder, queued and then didnt get a ticket has only themselves to blame. If you spent £15 and became a gold card holder, you could have phoned up days earlier and got one. If we ever get to a final of any description, the same people will have the same hard luck stories, but only because they werent prepared to try and push themselves up the order by taking membership.

Big_Foot_Blue added 19:21 - Dec 6 Thats a bit out of order olimar. Im a student with lectures nearly every day of the week meaning no one will give me a job with feasible hours. Therefore Im scraping by with bare essentials on a student loan and back in May put every penny of birthday money into my season ticket. For me £15 is a lot of money so I simply couldn't afford the gold membership. But yeh your probably right, all my fault and I simply dont deserve a ticket to watch the team Ive seen at every home game and supported all my life away to a big team. sorry for disturbing your perfect world.

itfc1996 added 19:22 - Dec 6 Lets go to chelsea not expecting town to get a result there! We beat the baggies (not that they was as good as chelsea might be)! Even if keano is still here dont life that affect the support to the team, get right behind the team and maybe that might give them the extra boost they have needed in the last couple of weeks! COYB!

bluebrit added 20:13 - Dec 6 I guess the thinking must be that, on present form, we will hold them at the bridge and then beat them at Portman Rd in front of a bumper crowd of about 15,000.

cornishblu added 20:45 - Dec 6 At last ...missed out three years ago despite going to 6 away games prior to the FA cup.....at least this way it will recognise those supporters who go the extra mile to away games.....wonder how many of the 3000 at chelsea will be at Preston this saturday having completed a 16 hour round trip?????....this is the fairest way to allocate tickets.....and then season ticket holders get the home seats....COYB....lets get behind the shirt!!....PS see the loyal supporters at Preston!!

MickMillsTash added 21:18 - Dec 6 If you go to enough of the away games you will get a ticket whether you have a gold card or not, that rule has applied to all the big away games of recent years-That is a total 5 'big games' (4 at Norwich) such has been our tragic tragic form. This rule though was not used against Chelsea away last time round. This is when the club were in a rush to get rid of the tickets due to a Chelsea replay and sold to any season ticket holders who fancied a trip to London despite not going away away since a trip to Old Trafford in 2001.
