ticket prices for semi- final

slick said:
True but that's for Cityzen members, non Cityzen members with purchase history can only buy 1 ticket, maybe that's one of the problems, considering they are at the back of the queue and members have had plenty of time to snap up tickets, they should have have allocated non members with purchase history 2 tickets, because tell the truth I wouldn't fancy travelling down to Wembley on my todd.

I'm travelling down to Wembley on my own from Edinburgh, Ive done that for about a dozen games this season either by plane, train or car, I don't mind but I understand why others wouldn't do it. I'll be going to boro on my own as well. Im amazed that has went to a public sale. A Sunday with a semi decent ko time and as far as I can see its not on tv either. Is that correct?

It's on BT Sport - so technically you are correct ;-)
 
With 4 day's until the semi-final, this is how City are pushing unsold FA Cup semi-final tickets on the OS home page.

Exactly! Jack shit information about remaining tickets. But if you want to buy the out-going kit via a flash sale, great! Etc. Apologies, there is an 'unmissable semi-final'.

Perhaps it's just me, and I apologise in advance, but the people running the club, whether it's from the top, or those running specific departments, are f***ing clueless.

How about the clowns who sit around in our so called 'Media Dept' get on the blower to the Daily Mail and tell them to keep the hell away from the Club ,all news content is now embargoed to them,and if that Mike 'Rag' Keegan comes within a mile of the ground we'll kick his ass down Ashton New Rd.

The Media Dept have got their work cut out if some posters (not just the rags) insist on posting that sales are far worse than they really are. Lazy Journos like Keegan probably thought there were 10k tickets still to sell rather than the 1,500 or so left. Maybe these threads are clickbait for Bluemoon as well as the Daily Mail.

Well done you blue.

I need to say that it does not seem to matter to the majority of rags fans how far or when they travel. Thousands come from London Ireland every game.
Must cost thousands but perhaps they do not have kids.

They don't have lives and live with their mum at the age of 50, have you been past old Trafford on match day? It looks like a convention for lost souls who look all a bit yewtree to me.

Rag prick I wouldn't expect anything less! Like Sholes hardly heard the knob when he played now you can't shut him up unfortunately. As I have said it is a non story I have no Idea why they are making such a big deal out of it. If we had only sold 20k I could maybe understand it but we are taking over 30k for a game 200 miles away, pretty good in my eyes. Plus not everyone is on an ex footballer/pundits wage, or a journalist come to that.

The whole world knows there are tickets left for the semi mate. That said I did enjoy the FA Youth cup game.

Actually I have a rag mate who does live with his mum and is over 50. But that is only anecdotal evidence. He ha

Hes a cock and his brother knows all about tickets, he just got caught without a valid ticket at Euston station and missed his train to Manchester as a result Gary-Neville-rants-Twitter-Virgin.html

He's got previous. Wasn't Gary supposed to put the proceeds of his testimonial into a social club for rags? Instead he is makingbmoney from that hotel eyesore and hiring Salford gangsters to keep out fans they don't want in the bar.

That maybe the case, but there's nothing like an OS homepage feature, with an obvious direct link to the ticket sales section, to give those unsure a nudge and an incentive to buy any remaining tickets.

I was going to buy a car the other day, but the garage removed all the prices from the windscreens, as well as all the information sheets about the cars. I couldn't be arsed stopping to have a look.
 
Here's another idea.

Why don't those running the club get rid of the £30 Citizens card fee, or whatever the fee is, and roll out free citizens membership cards next season?(are you reading this Soriano?) Do a massive Summer sign up campaign, get 10,000's of more Citizen members, and offer them unsold tickets next season. But no, the club would rather rake in a poultry £300K or whatever they get for the Citizen membership card, while 10,000's of City fans refuse to pay a fee, just for the privilege of being allowed to buy a matchday ticket. Imagine how much extra City would make via free Citizen membership cards from additional ticket, souvenir, food, drink, tours, etc, sales. But what the hell do I know. Those guys at City in their suits, with Apple iMacs, presentations, spreedsheets, etc, would soon put me in my place. After all, they've crunched the figures.

You are right that the tickets haven't been marketed but I think the club were expecting sales to be faster. That said, promoting the remaining tickets on the website would have also led to media jibes.

Taking over 30k to Wembley is OK and we still might sell out our extended allocation.
 
Come to the conclusion that city give the go ahead for the mail article[emoji6] free publicity and letting all blues know how many tickets are still on sale! Goes viral through all social media. [emoji23]
