Carabao Cup Final 2026: Manchester City v Arsenal 22/03 4.30pm - Sold Out

[SouthStandStander]

Remember the time when many used to gather on that roundabout near the ground and got cans from the Tesco close by

Good times

 

[VOOMER]

the away support should have dibs on the tickets, then the longsuffering, I'm in neither bracket, but I was there to see Dennis superb winner and both Spuds finals

Any Tarquin cunts reading this - obviously you’ll have more fans there than us as Wembley is right on your doorstep and we have been going all the way to Wembley on average twice a season for 15 years. If you had to come to Manchester twice a year for 15 years you wouldn’t be bringing 30k every time. So my message to tarquin fans is fuck off you unbearable cunts

They couldn’t take 15000 to Villa park when the rags beat them In the 1999 semi final replay.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Why, it is still 35 days before the match.
And Arsenal do not have a match at home this week.

What's the real problem?

The game is over 5 weeks away, they are etickets also so no post to worry about

Let me repeat myself.

It took Arsenal less than 24 hours to get their ticket info out. It's taken us over a week! Let that sink in. Is this not concerning to you?

Especially when you consider the fact that we go to Wembley significantly more often than anyone else, this should be 2nd nature to the ticket office.

Absolutely stinks of incompetence.

Absolutely doesn’t really. Firstly it doesn’t really matter unless you win a trophy or get given a goal start for selling out your allocation first. Secondly all clubs will have different scenarios around supporters clubs, points groupings, travel requirements. City might be arranging coaches to be sold alongside the tickets as they have done before, the Arses don’t need to consider any of that.

Then there’s other matches on sale that they might want to get rid of first.

Think it’s more likely linked to what other posters have suggested.
They don’t want to release the ticket sales until the Fulham game is out of the way, and potentially the Salford game. In an effort to flog a few more tickets for those.
That said, there’d be no reason not to release the prices and qualifying criteria with sales not starting until next week anyway.
We might be very good in lots of areas of the club, but from my experience, the ticket office isn’t one of them and that is one of the many contributory factors to us having more and more empty seats at home….. as the song goes.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

How much will going to this game cost for a City fan compared to an Arsenal fan? Crazy and wquite childish that they are comparing that.

Reckon this is definitely part of the delay

For all the sniping tarquin cunts, media cunts and snide cunts in general, this is over 30 times to Wembley in the last few years, for a predominantly work class fanbase, the increasing of which has been restricted by the snide cunts and their charges and media slurs, so just fuck off. Let’s see 30k tarquin cunts travelling to Manchester twice a year for 15 years. I’ll add that I’m getting older, OAP, had a stroke in June, got 2 fucked knees, driving a lot harder, tickets to buy for 2 kids, it’s hard for me (but I’ll always go cos I’m daft and addicted to City) but I appreciate it’s really hard for others too, physically and/or financially. So as I said earlier the snide cunts CAN JUST FUCK RIGHT OFF

I think they struggled to sell the tickets for their semi final with spurs at the swamp, cunts, imagine if they were asked to do that twice a season

After being 2-0 up after the away leg the club should have been getting everything sorted and ready go as soon as the 2nd leg was played. They arrange coaches every year, this should be like clockwork to them, not a good enough reason for the delay.

And yes it does matter and let me give you an example.

We beat Brentford in the League Cup QF on the 17th December. It took until the 6th January (7 days before the game), to make tickets for the SF Away leg available to matchday members. Because of this, nobody had time to make arrangements and we ended up not selling out.

My problem is, the longer it takes to get Final tickets on sale the more likely people will be to drop out.

They're the ones who only took 4,000 fans to a Europa League Final

 

[BillCarlisle]

Why didn’t you apply through the branch?

I prefer to select my own seat and in the past there had always been a reasonable choice for Cup Scheme Members. Applying through the Branch can be very much pot luck. Could even end up in Level 1 which isn't to my liking.

Fair enough I always get my own as well.

But it’s not incompetence, it’s the system City have gone with. You COULD argue some people will change their mind about going if the launch of sales is delayed but it could easily be the opposite, if tickets are sold in a short window and people see/hear they’re selling fast it can also change people’s minds to go when they weren’t planning to. That’s how event sales are often sold anyway.

Although I’m not saying City will get the criteria right mind.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

The game is still 6 weeks away so it’s not that vital. I’m sure they will be released tomorrow or Monday after Salford game.

 

[Joachim]

It would still be nice to get some ticket info.
I’m not worried about not getting a ticket. But I took a gamble, and already bought a flight from Oslo, Norway. Plain ticket has increased with 100£ since last week.

I call it incompetence as they seem to make the same mistakes over and over again.

I do take your point though, and agree that the club need to get the criteria right. My worry would be if it takes them another 2 weeks to get it on sale to members.
