Seat Counters - 2024/25

If they are regulars they will have been covered by the criteria.
Unless they regularly DONT go to cup matches - that are rarely midweek and night matches.

I just wish they had put the final criteria for Monday afternoon out now. There will definitely be unsold level 2 tickets then.

The main problem is the short turnaround from the semi final.
I notice nobody has explained just why the final is BEFORE the last day of the league season.

Depends what your definition of regular is. There's 19 home league games every season. FA Cup games you can theoretically have none at home in a season. Somebody that's done 5 league games this season for instance deserves one over somebody that went to an FA Cup game back in 22/23. If somebody has done 3 or 4 CL games this season.... again they're more deserving of it. Basically buy yourself one cheap FA Cup game and don't bother going and cover yourself for the next 3 seasons for a final.

Shite criteria and a total waste of time. Get them sold ffs.

Last Premier games Sunday 25th. Weekend after that is the play off finals so would be difficult to have it after the Premier finished.
Premier league dictating everything as per usual.

It was regularly before the end of the PL season for a few years (including when we played Stoke and Wigan). Then around 10 years ago people got fed up of it and it was decided that the final would be the last match of the domestic season as per tradition. That lasted a while but in 2022 Chelsea v Liverpool was the weekend before we beat Villa to win the title. 2023 and 2024 finals against the rags were both the last game of the season but now it’s earlier once again.

In 2013 - the champions league final was on the saturday - the championship playoff was the following Monday. It could be done. Would be a bank holiday weekend as well.

I don't get the logic of it not being the last match.
 
Presumably Palace sold their expensive Level 2 tickets? But their "Phase 2" allowed "Gold members" with zero points to buy tickets. Just had a look on their forum and they're now selling the 1800 returns they got given, so not completely sold out yet.

Ridiculous criteria. This will make no difference to sales at all.

It won’t.

The ones who are likely to pay £250 for a ticket are those that rock up at Madrid and probably paid a tout £300 for it. Doubt they have membership though!

Imagine a family of four city card holders having to pay a grand to watch a football match. Pay another couple of hundred on a coach and then find another ton to spend on the day. £1300 for a game of football ! Mad.
 
It does seem ridiculous, surely they could staff the ticket office over the weekend and get the sales moving

Spot-on. They can’t sell them to corporates but are happy to fleece the regular fans. They should sell them at reduced prices. That’s what happens with unsold flights and theatre tickets.

The groups who can afford to pay the top end Wembley prices are the Club, corporates and the well off tourists. Surely City aren't handing out the £50, £75 and £125 tickets to these groups? And does the ticket office not work weekends? They could have done the 1 FA cup ticket lot at 7pm, then all remaining members tomorrow morning and then open it up to purchase history in the afternoon. They can never get it quite right.

Sales will be virtually non existent all weekend now because people with the criteria all buy as soon as they are eligible. They are getting this badly wrong again. Clown show.

It actually pisses me off how their decisions negatively impact on ticket sales.

Get the tickets sold ASAP. Especially now it's looking like the 1.5k expensive seats could be an effort to shift.

Today should have had two windows for members and one for reasonable purchasing history, with ability to buy more than one ticket.

But the fans can get it right , even though they all have different ideas. Which is a bit strange.

City's initial allocation was 30,786 and now it is 33,467.

Do we know what Palace's allocation is? Your comment suggests it might be a little less. 30k plus 1800?
 
We are talking about the City ticket office.

Somethings never change at City.

The ticket office is one of those things.
