Have we got 2/3rds of Wembley?

Bought my tickets late.

Long story.

Only blocks showing seats are the £115 one’s on the MCFC Wembley seat planner.

The rest of the blocks are ‘t Showing available seats.

Surely they aren’t mixed fan blocks?

Highlighted, City blocks go to 522 and 505 in the 3rd tiers.

Well. Hmmm.

Paying £115 for a ticket isn’t funny, mate. X2.

I’ve just bought 2 tickets for my Mrs and Daughter.

I signed in to the MCFC ticket site via their season card details.

The only blocks showing up with limited seats available are a very few (City) blocks.

I bought 2 tickets in block 525 for £115 each.

All the blocks in the City end are sold out.

Obviously the Watford blocks are grayed out.

See the seat planner.

PS.

It’s looks a bit like Wigan was. 2/3rds City, if you remember?

The 'greyed out' blocks are ours, the ones that you think are sold out in our end are the Watford blocks - we have the east side split from the half way line.
 
Ah!

Signed in to the OS ticket site.

Why wouldn’t the ticket site let me buy tickets in the cheaper blocks?

Tried to buy tickets in those blocks, but when I clicked on the blocks, no seats were coming up available.

I’ll ring the ticket office in the Morning and speak to them.

I need a beer.

Are you being serious? You're trying to buy tickets in the Watford end! The Cheap tickets are sold out.
 
Right!

It’s OK.

Understood.

Sorry.

I have bought 2 tickets in 525.

I haven‘t been following the final seating plans as my supporters branch is dealing with my ticket.

I bought the tickets for my Mrs and daughter, thinking City were in the West End, and over lapping the halfway line seating. Like we did against Wigan.

Apologies to all.

Thanks.

Pass me a beer. :-)
 
@jrb

Think you need a lie down mate, lol.

We don’t have any cheaper seats available, £115 is the cheapest and that’s why loads of east side blocks are blanked out, because surprise surprise they’ve sold out....

Rammy.

It’s sorted.

Stressing out like f***, as once again I have had to deal with and buy the tickets, even though my partner hasn’t bothered buying her ticket and my daughters ticket. Add to that my ticket has already been purchased by my branch. And the OS wasn’t letting us sit together, as I’d already reached my ticket limit, even though I tried to add my partner and daughter on to my account as family and friends, so we could all sit together.

Amazing to see them make a stand, absolutely brilliant.

The FA have gone too far this year, the prices really are a joke. So many people priced out by their greed and they just don’t care. Getting the message across on a flag like that would be a start, not just for blues but all football fans.

Slightly confused, how have they bought the tickets for £19 and who has the money? Due to being 200 miles away from Wembley it would be hard for us to do. I guess not entering the stadium until after the game kicks off, or everyone going onto the concourse and emptying our end while they do that shaking hands with unheard of dignitaries and just leaving the banner there, then returning for the kick off would have a big impact.

It was last season which did it. They hiked prices by 35% apparently and there was a lot of press comment. Of course there would be as it relates to Man Utd fans and they write what their fans want to read.

If a Northern club other than Man Utd or Liverpool who have national fan bases, get to an FA Cup Final next season then there will be huge gaps in the stands. I don't think other fans realise the ticket prices, because the media are not interested in football fans. It's basic journalistic function to expose injustice in the game. Where are all those journalists who working themselves into a fit about the Dr Spiegel allegations? Perhaps I am distorting this into a rant about the media. They didn't put the prices up, but they should highlight the issue.

Football Supporters Federation or whoever represents football fans in general need a Football Price cap of £30 home and away. City should lead this (it will hurt rival clubs as much as us - especially SPurs!!!)

I think City fans should have a banner or maybe we all take in a A4 sheet of paper with a huge £ sign and hold it up during a key moment eg Abide with Me, National Anthem, Kick Off something agreeable to all? Some protest needs to be made or the FA Cup Final will be lost to fans for good because we simply will not be able to do. Peoples game? Ha ha ha!

Why is the North side of the ground, almost sold out (approx 300 seats left on the North side) and a couple of thousand left on the South side?

Sun? Where the trophy is lifted? Even ignoring the Club Wembley seats the difference is very noticeable.
 
The prices for some seats are terrible, but the fact this will sell out tells it's own tale. If it's hurting people that much, protest by not paying it and don't go. It will not make you any less of a fan.
