FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

So about 2,250 on free coaches, it's a lot but not really a dent in the 30k+ going.

As was posted earlier overall it would have been better to subsidise the tickets even a £5 off each would have been a more worthwhile gesture to the masses.

Saved me £80.

Think it is great gesture. They usually charge £40 (Carabao cup final) and it was £20 for the semi. Think they are more for families or people who don't go to get drunk, some may be in for a disappointment if they think otherwise.

Free coach made the difference of me going vs not going. Not everybody can spend £500 on one game. I could but me and wife are saving for house deposit, so for me its costing £150 as opposed to £500, that is making it justifiable to go.

So what mate? City are helping thousands of fans get to the game free of charge. Most people won’t worry about a fiver difference but for some people struggling with travel costs, it could be the difference between going or not.

Btw we charge £40 on our coach

I'm looking at it from a democratic viewpoint. It's easy for you to say most people don't worry about £5 but some do. I could easily say most people don't worry about £30

Saved me £120

Always be someone complaining though

Well that will be me, I haven't yet worked out what I want to complain about but trust me, I will find something.

Does anyone who has used the free bus offer before know when pending becomes confirms?

Saw in the T n C's it is usually after seeing the demand is there for the coaches?

I called them yesterday to see if it was possible to get on the same coach as a mate.
Gave them both our booking refs. and names and the guy said that he had actioned a request for us both to go on the same coach.
So without officially being confirmed I at least now think I have a bum on a coach seat.

Great gesture from the owners if you choose to use it, personally will drive as about a round trip over about ten hours on a coach dosnt appeal to me, the Club is not the issue with ticket pricing it's the FA this will be the first year that they can sell the £225 club Wembley tickets on mass as the original ten year "cheap" club Wembley package had expired and seats are available to open sale, to be able to charge between £145 and £225 for tickets for approximately 40% of the seats Is disgusting!

I'm happy for them that 2.5k blues are getting free travel but there are 28k blues who'd rather have a fiver in their pocket if they had the choice
