FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

As that twat in Peps interview brought it up and im a bit bored, 277 upper tiers available 11 on lower tiers (not including Club Wembley (635) & wheelchair availability)
So 923 available in total from whats there.
So total sold will depend on allegedly how many we sent back
 
Even if both City & Brighton sold their fullallocations that still leaves c20,000 neutral seats to sell, so its inevitable that there will be thousands of empty seats. The attendance for Cheslsea v Southampton last season was 73,146. If there's that many there tomorrow it will be a very good attendance for a semi final not featuring London clubs (or Liverpool or United who we know both have large numbers of London based fans).

Pity the latest posts on this thread all seem to be about selling tickets. We are in the semi fimal and with a great shout to reach the FA Cup final. Who cares if we sell out or not. It's been obvious for years that the semi final at Wembley hasn't attracted the audience other than the clubs that haven't been there for years. Are we arrogant for not selling out this Wembley game? Or is it because we have been there many times (and I mean many many many times) since 2011, we also have a Champions League quarter (not semi!) final in the new Spurs arena a few days later? AND need to travel to London again for the match vs Crystal Palace after that one?
Whatever the reason, I don't care for the media is using a last straw to clutch and belittle our achievements over the recent 8-10 years.

It's like I do not care who will be put out as our first eleven tomorrow. Ederson in goal is the only certainty. We can beat anyone whatever the starting line-up because that is how strong our squad is. Brighton and their fans will be up for it and rightly so. But I doubt it'll be enough to stop us having another Wembley visit next month. It's just great being there. Battling for the title, battling for the FA cup and battling for the Champions League, with already a Community Shield and League Cup in the bag. Oh how everyone is envying us. We should just enjoy it and let others pick on whatever they can pick on.

I don't think it is a pity at all. Football is all about the fans. It's important that City's fan- base is solid and growing which it evidently still is. I am pretty impressed that my fellow City fans are turning out in such numbers given cost, travel and familiarity with the place (assuming estimates of 25 to 30k are correct)
 
I think United's 99' semi final against Arsenal was 10k short at Villa park I don't remember any of these headlines back then.
 
To those of us that are going, can we please take a change of tops and keep swapping seats, this will make it look as though there are more in our end and it will be harder for those who want to slag us off for not selling out.

You are right sir. Capacity 40000, attendance for reply 30000. So even 2 of the supposed best 3 supported clubs couldn't fill a stadium half the size for a semi.
