FA Cup SF Draw | Sheffield United | Sat 22 Apr 16:45

I think they probably will outnumber us if I'm honest. They'll sell out for the reason that it's their biggest game of the last decade, and for us it's just another trip to Wembley.

FWIW, I think we'll both sell out and we'll both be given a couple of thousand extra to sell as seems to be the norm with FA Cup semi-final tickets these days. That just leaves who will have the bigger presence in the seats that aren't on sale directly to either set of fans. That will probably be them for the reason you mention

Doesn’t bother me in the slightest either way but it seems a bit odd that City’s are all mobile tickets and there’s are all print at home. Just struggling to think of any possible reason why they’d do that?

Would that mean that people can't transfer a ticket to a mate who wouldn't normally qualify?

If you can get it on a spare membership/ST etc. then you can just buy it on that account and put their email in the digital ticket section on checkout

Hopefully you’re right, but we didn’t sell out last year. There was around 5k empty seats.

I personally think there'll be a higher demand for tickets this year than last year. Tickets in general have been selling much better this year

It certainly makes it a bit trickier, if not insurmountable, to transfer a mobile ticket over a bit of paper. Doesn’t answer why they’ve decided to do Mobile for City and paper for Sheff though

so after all that, who is going, i need extra tickets, i think it will be a big turnout, Sheffield United on their forum seem to think they will outnumber us, yet they only had 25k at the last round with 5000 Blackburn there, think they might get a shock

I tend to agree with them 27,500 to 30,000 I’d hazard a guess at for us.

Bolton as an example have sold around 34,000 for papa johns this weekend which is way more than their average attendance.

The result of us going to Wembley so much in recent years and the likes of high prices for Bayern games will make some pick and choose.

Clubs get to chose, depends how they are set up. City want to get everyone on Mobile, and even if you use a friends phone they will say you went Mobile for this so you need to next year.

If I bought a Junior Cityzens membership now, would that mean I could get one for the young un when they go on sale to Cityzens? I have two memberships for adults (me and my mate) But need 3 for this.

Or wait until gen sale?
