Just got 2 x £45 front row above scoreboard. Block 514.

Same as me pal. Row 12.

Gotta win first ! My only memories of Wigan are fans arguing with each other and the fucking incessant rain

I was also at that game . But even when we win and its sunny, my children have looked on in amazement at fellow blues arguing at Wembley.

That's a result and credit to @ManCityX as well for tagging you just in case you missed Marvin's post. Purely down to chance whoever gets those cheaper tickets so anybody else put off by the higher prices just keep checking the website whenever you can

I think we might have an update from City this afternoon / evening about revised ticket sale criteria. The last update said if any tickets remain (after 29/4):

"Further selling criteria will be announced on the website"

In the past City have had very small numbers of obstructed view seats so there's a small chance they might say something about that.

I wouldn't rely on it though. I think the £145 seats may got at 3pm. It will be close.

To be honest, I think they'll keep it at any seasoncard holder at least until tomorrow. Big jump from 2000 points down to zero so must be a fair few in that bracket?

Of course I'm not going to pay for them, that would be idiotic.

Respect has to be earned and people who play the victim on a public forum don't deserve any.

If there's any tickets left there's still time for this dad to do the right thing - get them both to Wembley.

Wow - you really don't get this do you??

Some people clearly aren't as fortunate as yourself, and I'll leave it there

I paid £800 in 2013. 2 seats in Club Wembley, "luxury" coach, Michelin star meal somewhere in deepest Hertfordshire, free ale for me (but not for the then 8 year old).
All paid to Ian St John Jnr.

My lad will remember that day for the rest of his life, given we live in Wigan and he has the jibes ever since! I'll never forget how upset he was too.

Hopefully, the cheap tickets that i have now luckily secured will remedy his bad memories!

Not moving to Watford any time soon sre you?? ;)

Update ahead of the next rush at 3pm:

£115 x 1 (Random ticket appeared in block 524)
£145 x 365
£250 x 472

A grand total of 838 left

I can't think of a better use money than spending it on someone you love. What else will he do with the money he saves that will compare with going to Wembley with his lad?

The father has a computer and the son has a mobile phone, so the family isn't exactly impoverished are they?

The guy's trying to portray the FA as the bad guy here when it's clear the game will be over subscribed and so they haven't got the pricing wrong.

The son sounds great. I assume he takes after his mother and not his father.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Woohoo.

Thanks @Marvin , I just logged in randomly and picked up a £45 ticket for me, £35 for son in 514 - admittedly on top of the scoreboard!

The Gods are smiling on us today.

Good luck to everyone that hasn't got sorted yet.

I was on top of that for the semi, good seats, I did email Wembley to complain as they didn't reduce for a restricted view....if I sat right back in my seat, unsurprisingly didn't get a reply.

If like me your giddy it's clear as a bell view.
