Seat Counters - 2024/25

What a surprise! Instead of panicking and buying an expensive seat at 1.00pm, I decided to wait and see. At 4.00pm, 600 seats in block 525 were released. These are far better seats, closer to the halfway line, than were available earlier - I got one at £125.

Why the club do this, I have no idea. What I do know, is that it penalises fans with higher points totals, since you are being led to believe that there are few seats left. I have little doubt that they will do the same again and release more "blanked out" blocks for sale tomorrow morning.

So, if you are waiting to qualify tomorrow, don't panic, my guess is that there will be plenty of seats available, certainly in tier 5, but perhaps only the £125 plus seats.

Only £125 plus tickets showing now.

About 2100 at that price and 400 ish at £175.

All the rest are £250 plus on level 2.

There may be more released yet though when they get returns from sponsors/staff and FA give some back.

The prices are really outrageous. Although more prestigious than the League Cup, the FA Cup is still pretty much a Cinderella comp. It’s been hugely diminished over the last few decades. With these prices so much for being the cup that cheers.

They probably have to hold the ones near the halfway line back in case it doesn't sell out like in the semi. Means that section is completely closed, less stewards needed etc.
 
Don't really want to pay a 125 quid for a ticket when a few rows over is 50/75 quid. Is there any chance some of the blocks aren't open yet. Someone I know in a supporters club was given Category 2 tickets when the branch requested Category 3 tickets, an increase of 50 quid, what a joke!

I don't think the website is working correctly. Sometimes blocks are greyed out, and then if your refresh the browser or log out and then log in again, you see all the seats. Misleading. But I doubt it's deliberate.
 
As an aside - Palace have sold out their allocation.
Easier in their case as their ST holder numbers (and capacity) is less than the allocation. So they have less criteria to go through.

I had a look at that and after refreshing it did show seats in some level 5 blocks but when you actually click select it showed zero available so likely just a blip.

And it's a few tube rides away.

Those £250/£285 ones are going to be a hard sell! To be honest I wouldn’t pay that much for this game.

Only about 15-20 miles between Crystal Palace and Wembley, so would be a massive surprise if they hadn’t sold out already.

It’s gonna sell out and truth is both clubs could probably sell almost double what they got allocated.

No wonder they charge us such high prices are we are so addicted we pay it. If you take a step back and think it’s absolutely absurd but they know they have us
