Unlikely, they barely sold out themselves

Exactly. I'm sure the odd Villa fan might've been in our end but it was hardly a takeover. Same with Liverpool in the semi-final the season before last. I suspect the same has happened here - there was an opportunity for Arsenal fans to buy a membership and get tickets when the criteria dropped from Cityzens and 2 matches attended to all Cityzens matchday members at 1pm last Friday. Even then, I doubt too many would've joined that huge queue online bang on 1pm or before. My guess is that if there are any Arsenal fans in our end, it might be a couple of hundred dotted about and that's it. And if they're that desperate for tickets, I don't see too many of the 2000 or so for this game showing on Live Football Tickets flying out of the door

Up until last season Arsenal hardly ever sold out the Emirates. Now on the back of winning absolutely nothing they're that desperate to see their team in a pre-season friendly they are buying City memberships to get tickets in our end. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of Tarquins in the Level 2 corporate at the City end of the ground. That they will be classing as being in the City end

Seeing as though they live around the corner, they can afford to buy our £30.00 memberships and £30.00 tickets or treat themselves to level 2 corporate.
In the meantime we have to buy train/coach tickets, pay 400 mile car fuel, hotels etc…

If it was at Old Trafford, i’m sure some of us would treat ourselves to £100.00 corporate tickets along with a £4.00 Metrolink ticket and be home within 30mins

Presumably there will still be loads of tickets available in the Club Wembley neutral section (level 2) so why would Arsenal fans go in the City end. I think most of their fans on Twitter are probably liars.

You need to be or know a Club Wembley member and then pay a lot more than £65.

I thought the FA had started selling tickets separately for matches in level 2. Isn't that how we (and United ) got extra tickets for the FA Cup Final. I don't expect many neutral Club Wembley holders will want to attend the CS. If they don't release some tickets Club Wembley would never be taken up. There were even some spaces in there for the recent Derby FA Cup Final which wasn't a full house (also because of segregation issues).

They do to clubs on a ticket only basis.

Club Wembley come with the package that the member has.

My Wembley was available at one point which was ticket only direct from Wembley but they closed it down in 2013 as too many fans joined just for the Wigan Final.

"Thanks for your email. Unfortunately My Wembley is now oversubscribed and we will not be taking new applications.

The only other way to guarantee your seat at the major events is by becoming a Club Wembley member. This involves owning seats on the private tier of the stadium on a long term basis, and includes an average of 12 core events per season.

All England Senior Home Internationals, FA Cup Final, both FA Cup Semi Finals, Capital One Cup Final, Community Shield and Rugby League Challenge Cup Final are included within this. We do not sell any match by match access for any event which forms part of the Club Wembley programme.

Would you like me to forward over further details on Club Wembley?"

When 10 year tickets expired they allocated part of tier 2 to the clubs involved, which was the 2017 final and matches after that, as there was a big drop of in 10 year renewals.
