Seat Counters 25/26

Yep there's approx 80 tickets in lower north/south. These show at £58 on the site but are £53 with members discount. (The cheapest ticket for the game is £45/£40 member at the very front of lower north and south blocks and the odd one has appeared this week)

In total there are another c720 tickets in the rest of the stadium. With the exception of some expensive GA+ seats on old level 2, everything is in the range £61-£65 which is £56-£60 with members discount.

Some might not be aware ALL of these tickets have increased by at least £5 in the last few days due the club using dynamic pricing. This is pathetic for the sake of, say, 1500 seats x £5.00 = £7,500.

The max they agreed to charge for a Cat A game (excluding GA+) is £60 net of £5 membership discount.

absolute small time not opening all the sections, people want to choose where they sit, or are they hoping to send the tickets to arsenal

Especially when you factor in how many times we've been to the new Wembley.
Fans want to sit in their usual seats that they are familiar with.
History says we want be sending blocks back so it makes no sense.

FA Cup Semi Final vs Forest Last Year:

At the 6,500 + Scheme window there were 18,000 showing and 9 blocks not on sale.

FA Cup Final vs Palace Last Year:

At the 6,500 + Scheme window there were 9,300 showing with all blocks on sale.


So this has been much much quicker than the Forest semi final last year, but not quite at the level of the Final, although that was a blistering start IIRC. Also worth noting that theres not as many people on the league cup scheme as the fa cup scheme.

Excellent research or memory EMB take a bow.

Interesting that about recent dynamic pricing. Just looking back I paid £58 for my seats for this game, and that was on the day they went on sale to Matchday members last July, and I assume included the £5 discount. As such have the prices really changed up or down much at all (?)

I don't disagree about your comments on it being easier to generate noise from the back of the stand, however it's completely unfair to accuse the one group who regularly stands up to the club on behalf of the fans, of using "club privilege" to secure cheap seats.

Just to add to this, the 1894 Wembley singing sections have almost always been located on those front rows. The only exception I can remember was the Liverpool FA Cup semi in 2022. The Forest one last year might’ve been too but I was away for that game so wasn’t involved. It’s a Catch 22 because being at the front makes it easier for us to do the displays but being further back is better for generating noise. I’m not sure why the complaints are starting up now but it could be because there was a dearth of £75 tickets in all lower tier blocks when sales opened up yesterday, not just the block where 1894 will be. Also, it used to be the first 14-15 rows where the prices were cheaper. Now it’s only the first 10 rows. That’s hardly 1894’s fault.

For me, the ideal place for a singing section at Wembley in terms of generating noise would actually be on Level 5 right behind the goal and at the back of the stand in the new safe standing section up there, where the prices are even cheaper still. Get a few hundred singers up there and I reckon the noise will travel well across our end. Trouble is, it’s a non-starter as we can’t do displays from up there.

One thing I’ve noticed with each sales window so far is that tickets have continued to sell steadily for hours after the initial rush when often in the past they’ve almost ground to a halt. Could just be that some of those on the cup scheme know that they’ll get a ticket so don’t feel the need to log on as soon as their sales window opens.

Absolutely, I'm excited at the prospect of having people standing and singing up in Level 5, with the new safe standing. All of our best atmospheres at Wembley have been when songs have started in Level 5 and spread around the end, the Forest Semi final springs to mind.
 
There’s no point arguing with each other. Anyone putting in the effort to improve the atmosphere at the Etihad and Wembley deserves some credit.

Glad to see sales going so well. It will be interesting to see if tickets go past season card holders. We also have many thousands more match day members this season (as tons of people on the FV pages have them now) so I’m confident of a sell out.

This would also explain why the queues haven't been as long. I'd expect this'll be less of a factor as we go through the criteria.

Really interested to see how many sell in each window today. It makes no sense to me that the club rushed through the cup scheme criteria, but have spread out the Non Cup Scheme Criteria over 2 days.

The only reason I can think of is if there's a lot more people in this 10k-20k points range, who are no longer on the scheme, than we think.

Surely there's not many over 20k though?
