FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

The ticket office is shut, if anyone has spoke to City today its the outsourced call centre who work on behalf of many companies, they will have no clue how many are left or sold today.

It's amazing how many people come on here purporting to have a knowledge of the ticket office and various other departments in the club, when they clearly have none.

Someone there will know as they send out the lot for this game and there is no counter sales, but I thought there would be more left than 10k from looking ta the blocks, so who knows.

They probably get asked a lot so have a rough answer prepared, give or take 2k.

Someone will know but its highly unlikely to be someone answering the phone for multiple companies on minimum wage.

I've not looked at the planner since getting my tickets, but i always thought we would sell 25K-27K still think we will.

It is probably a FAQ for anyone working there - and on their script, quick answer get them off the phone and on to the next one. I bet about 1 in 4 ask about it. Whether the infor is correct is another issue, just like Paul lake's "give it six weeks" when asked about his knee injury by every fan he met.
 
I hope Blues get behind this game in the next few days. I'm pretty sure they will, it's a Semi, yes April is an expensive month but we are teetering on the edge of something unthinkable. If you can afford it Blues, please come along, get behind the boys and let's book another visit to Wembley in May.
 
Every single City fan has their own individual circumstance, where they live, how much income they have, how many in their family go to the match, their working hours etc etc.
One thing certain is that the combination of the location of the venue, the cost, and the kick-off time are factors that affect whether they attend this game.
If the game was closer to Manchester, or cheaper, or a more sympathetic kick off time, the demand for tickets would be higher. That is a fact.
These factors are out of the control of fans. The club and the FA and people commenting on the take-up of the allocation should remember this.
Obviously the desire of fans to attend is also an important factor, but it is by no means the only one and shouldn't be judged in isolation.

The biggest factor is we are likely to be back there a month after for the final, so thousands of blues will be a priority. I don’t mind us not selling out, but I thought City fans who haven’t had the chance for a big game at Wembley due to not having points would snap the remaining tickets up.

There will be a number of fans who’ve never watched us at Wembley. This is their chance to go.
 
If it was Utd or even Millwall we were playing in the semi I'm sure we would've sold out. No disrespect to Brighton but they're hardly a big draw. Thirteen visits to Wembley in eleven years as well, the novelty seems to be wearing off. Sad but true.

We wouldn’t have got any more for Millwall.

Brighton would have been a big enough draw if many Blues weren’t skint.

We would have got less for Millwall. Plenty with kids wouldn't want their day ruined by the inevitable "antics" 'Wall would endeavour to engage in. I wouldn't take my lad.

Loads of really good reasons there for not going, although "I can't be arsed" should have been included.
 
The semi-finals should be played outside of Wembley,take it back to the way it was villa park,Hillsborough and so on,teams celebrating getting to a semi-final at Wembley like it’s the final itself,yes I know sounds a bit rag/scouse in what I’m saying but it feels like Wembley has lost that mystique with both semifinals now being played there every season..I would have loved to have got over but I’ve a trip to Poland coming up soon and a holiday in Portugal as well to think about unfortunately,may have to start upping my prices for work probably would allow me to go ..
