FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[meeesh]

In Block 108. That Harrogate label has landed us in the expensive seats ffs

I'm in there....posh seats :)

 

[fathellensbellend]

There will be quite a few, like me, that know we probably won't get a final ticket waiting for Citizen matchday to open this afternoon.

i think thats where the system fails, those who have supported the club in the fa cup shouls get some priority.

any idea how many have been sold, the club never give any indication

Just had a look at random,there seems to be hundreds,no thousands of tickets left,only block 107 seems sold out,blocks 526 to block 518 haven't even been available to buy from day 1 anyway .
Fk it,i cant afford it but i and my lad will be there,up the blues.

That’s say 7500 tickets not available and low uptake elsewhere. Hope we have thousand of citizens and blue card holders wanting to go
Need as many down as possible. It is expensive but it also looks like complacency setting in (just going final).

i wonder how our support compares if say, Newcastle or Sunderland were in our position, apparently Sunderland could have sold 70000 tickets for the checkatrade final at the weekend, imagine if they were going for the quadruple, i know people wont like it, but i think they would be far more up for it than a very large chunk of our support.

There are 9 blocks on the top tier with no tickets which seems odd as every other block has plenty. I guess they are not on sale yet and may be given back. That’s around 6000 seats.

Assuming they are not on sale then I’d say we have sold around 15000-18000 tops.

Some blocks have less than 10% remaining some upwards of 50% and it’s clearly not cost as loads of £30 tickets left.

My ticket cost £30 in block 504 and the lads £20,£35 x 2 for coach travel £70 =£120 plus p1ss money for a wembly day out booze up.Im just above minimum wage on band 1 nhs,but its city,and I'm 54 and i don't know how long all of this joy ride we have been on for 10 years will last or how long Iv got left,its only money after all,I cant fucking wait.

The Supporters Clubs are being allocated the mid to higher than average prices so that could be 10,000 Blues who aren’t in the cheaper seats.

Very poor effort up to yet, lets hope there is a surge of interest, but i doubt it.

This will be our 13th time at Wembley since 2011,they have been once, you work it out

Maybe. They may be the ones not for sale too? Who knows.

People haven’t been paid this month yet either and it’s not on sale to Cityzens members without a SC until 3pm. I reckon loads of those will want to go as they rarely get chance. ST holders can buy 2 more tomorrow and then General sale so loads of time yet.

do you think the supporters clubs are responsible for as many as 10000 fans, that seems very high, but i have no idea

i dont support stadiums, i support City.

Only goes to Cityzens members at 3pm so think there could still be

It would be similar if they were visiting wembley a lot

we were the same for Play offs in 99

We still sell out most games though, the issue is Wembley is now over used IMO.

Semi finals should be held elsewhere.

Probably less this time around

 

[Carlos The Jackal]

i dont support stadiums, i support City.

And so do i son since 1969 but this is an extra-ordinary and very expensive season some people just cannot fuckin afford it,plus the game is still a fortnight away.

 

[Eccles Blue]

@fathellensbellend yes but the Checkatrade final kicks off at a reasonable time and they can get trains back home after the game, probably without the bother we had after the final of the Carabao Cup.

I have my ticket and I am booking an hotel, the FA and the powers that be don't give a stuff about the ordinary fans. I'm lucky enough to be able to do this but it just isn't fair for people who don't have that option. IMHO

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

The fact that at the moment it looks like the 9.00pm train is the last train back will also put a lot of fans off. I know it has been said there will be extra trains laid on but if you go on Trainline they aren't listed. I am going at the moment with my daughter but have no idea how I am getting there and back. Maybe a lot of people just can't be arsed with the effort again. It's expensive, a full day out and a late night back for many with young kids. I wonder which neutral ground they would have selected in the old days, Villa Park?

100% agree, no consideration for the fans whatsoever, which i have said, also think the club could have laid on dirt cheap travel, and the concession prices are an absolute disgrace, but i do maintain we do have a large percentage apathetic fan base, where many just cannot be arsed, there are still loads of cheap seats at wembley available, i fully understand people not paying the premium prices. Anyhow, like Carlos says there are 2 weeks to go, maybe jumping the gun a bit.
