ticket prices for semi- final

You could be right. Maybe it's a generational thing in the sense that the FA Cup isn't as big a deal to 15 -35 year olds as it is to older fans. I'm in my 40s and had we got to a semi at anytime between 1981 and 2011 then I would've moved heaven and earth to get there but I can see how younger fans might prioritize the derby over the semi with it being in the same week.

Mate I am in my 40s and I very much doubt we would have sold 33k tickets for our third semi in 6 years in addition to 4 finals at Wembley also. What made the interest, in addition to the Cup being a bigger deal, was the fact we never got a sniff of winning it. I saw some pretty depressing crowds in cup matches during those periods.

It looks like only 5 blocks with any large gaps. 12 blocks still noticeable gaps.

I think we will have to brace ourselves for a few holes.

Its not the end of the universe btw.

I expect there'll be a lot of holes around the ground. I would be surprised if all of the 20,000+ tickets that weren't allocated to City or Arsenal have sold

Edit: if arsenal sold out a month ago they will have taken up most of the 20,000

You could say the same about Chelsea in 2013 but we sold that out (I assume)

Official website says sold out, along with this little message

Any overseas tickets purchased for the FA Cup Semi-Final will be posted to Emirates Stadium and held for collection on the day of the fixture from the East Ticket Office at Wembley Stadium.
 
The fa set the adult prices, but allowed the clubs to decide the concessions prices, considering city fans are the poorest of the 4 clubs, and the only ones travelling, i don't understand why the club didn't help it's own fans with families and cap the kids tickets at 20 quid, but i guess those making the decision have no concept of a modest income
 
I only asked how many we have sold after hearing only 20k had been sold upto last weds .. not sure if or how people genuinely know or is it just guessing

I thought the FA set the concession prices but allowed the clubs to decide what age ranges the concessions apply to. Some clubs charge concession prices for over 60s while most set the limit at over 65s.

Arsenal sold out a month ago. City are close to selling out too.

You are wrong on both. Arsenal did not sell out on the date announced on their website they sold out towards the end of last week.
City have sold approx. 30000 tickets and it is very unlikely they will sell many more.
They are likely to go onsale at the box office on Wednesday, due to postage timescales.
I would think everyone who is going to go will have purchased one by now
 
Is 30k a guess.. last week I was told 20k sold by weds but so many different figures.. not that it matters I'm more interested how people know or is it guess work

This might ruffle a few feathers, but I think those in the FA Cup scheme, went to the FA cup games home and away,, and are going to the semi-final should all get a chance to get a final ticket first. Once those tickets have been allocated, and if there are any tickets left, which I doubt, then they should go to people who aren't in the cup scheme, didn't attend a FA Cup game, or the semi-final, that includes season ticket holders.

Cue the abuse. :-)

What difference will that make? No one under about 14k on cup scheme will have done all cup games through loyalty points and they will more than likely be eligible on the first day anyway. The problem with this tie is city took ages to drop down to cityzen members, what was the point in dropping from 4500 to 3500 points When we still had 15k tickets left?

I posted on Thursday that on Wednesday night they had sold just under 27000 tickets.
It was not a guess

I was just going off Arsenal.com and City's ticketing web-site. There aren't many tickets left online.
 
Twenty odd thousand tickets went to "who knows where" wonder if they have sold out and weather it City or Arsenal fans who got hold of them .so much for security and segregation

17,000 to Club Wembley where it's accepted that rival fans will be mixed, leaves around 6,000 to go around Emirates, other FA sponsors and County FAs.
