FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[the pipe79]

If your embarrased , thats your problem, personally I really dont care,what people think we all have different lifes and priorities, it’s good for once,everyone that wants to go will be abke to.

I’m not embarrassed I said it’s embarassing which it is , it’s the semi final of the fa cup !!! If people want to pick and choose why not swerve the league cup final ? What kind of message does it send to the players running out to a half empty end ?? So is everyone going to miss the final cos of the pricing or kick off time ?? No cos they WANT to be there for the glory , my point is everyone knows these fixture are coming up so why not plan ahead it’s the same every year !! My point is we’ve got the fans because we’ve sold out every Wembley trip to date but too many just simply can not be arsed , can not wait for the thread on here people moaning about not getting a ticket for the final if we get there !!

 

[meeesh]

No. Hardly any sales today. Closer to 20k

Oh right ok

 

[balotellishaircut]

Where we upto then at min does anyone know,have we surpassed 25k ?

I think we will go past 25k come next Saturday, hope so anyway, just looking at the weather today and next weekend sunshine on your backs, shades on watching City, doesn't get any better.

Don’t see why the club should subsidise tickets but they should help make travel easier. The FA need to get their head out of their arses on prices and that’s where the real issue lies. Fans clearly thinking ahead with other equally as big games to come..

Because they continually put the price of seasoncards up every year (bar two in twelve), far above the rate of inflation or yearly wage increases. They get fucking shit loads of money from tv revenue and other sponsors and can clearly afford to give us a 50% reduction on the Wembley semi tickets. Christ even the players could collectively get together and pay £1.125m between them to pay for half the tickets for the semi.

not bothered what utd fans think, but i bet its a real disappointment to the owners and the team, and more importantly Pep, who places a great emphasis on a full stadium, and getting behind the team, lets be honest if 30000 season ticket holders, and all the rest cannot be arsed when going for a quadruple, then they are never going to be arsed.

It’s cost for most, that I know anyway, they are definitely arsed just can’t afford it on top of everything else.

Totally agree about the ticket prices, but there are loads of cheap tickets left, that suggests lack of demand rather than cost. The club should stimulate sales by offering a deal with either Cardiff tickets or the champions League tickets . The club can send a million surveys yet never seen to understand our fanbase, these sales show that nationally our fan base has barely grown, and no one is taking up the slack

You are absolutely spot on about the increase in our national fan base, it has barely changed since the takeover and the success. Contrary to what people say adults do not change their footballing allegiances and we do not have hordes of fans scattered around the country, our out of towners are ever exiled Mancunians or non mancunians who seem to have supported City for years. The club hasn't a clue about our support and the demographics.

but there are 30 quid tickets still for sale, and 20 quid travel from the club, if all the cheap seats had sold out, i would agree. The concession prices though are scandalous, the fa should be ashamed.

The match day prices for non season ticket holders are an absolute disgrace, the club have seen their arse re the Cardiff returned tickets and have been forced to charge a lot less than normal to sell them perhaps they could reduce tickets across the board and make a serious effort to attract ordinary Mancunians to the matches.

Personally I think it’s embarssing that we have so many tickets remaining , it’s the same every year , everyone knows that there is the potential of semi finals and finals , so why don’t people plan ahead , put money aside , which I don’t think is the real reason because the cheap seats are still a available , people need to get used to the idea that watching football is not free and costs money , judging by the comments on here the spurs at home should be absolutely packed to the rafters as lots are using it as an excuse not to go to a semi final ..... we could only dream of that years ago and who is to say we will make the final , some fans simply can’t be arsed going and I can’t beleave we have genuine fans saying they hope our end is empty !?!?! Are you for real , sorry but don’t get how you can pick and choose , that’s why we support our team isn’t it in the hope of days out at Wembley to win things or else what’s the point ..... too many supporters simply can not be arsed cos it’s Brighton ..the same fans be moaning can’t get a ticket if we get to the final !! Sorry but everyone knows the fa don’t give a shit about us fans so what do people expect ??? If you want to go badly enough you’ll get there !

Oviously people don't want to go that badly otherwise they would have bought tickets by now. I will watch it for free on the telly.we playing something like 60 games this season ,fair play to people who go to most of them, even when I was working no way could I go to them all. If City or the players were that concernd about so many empty seats they could easily have subsidised them .
