They could have ended up getting a lot more money if Chelsea can't take there cut, and there were away fans sales to Chelsea fans who were on like our Superbia, 600 of them.
City get money form Chelsea tickets sold in the semi so why complain?

It wasn't a semi final, it wasn't Easter and trains were running.That’s what posters like yourself were saying in 2016 before the league cup final against them, and guess what we sold out.
I'm still half hoping they have a rethink on the venue for our game. I know, no chance but hoping for once common sense may prevail.They could have ended up getting a lot more money if Chelsea can't take there cut, and there were away fans sales to Chelsea fans who were on like our Superbia, 600 of them.

Absolutely no chance of it happening if only a few Chelsea fans could buy tickets for their game. £££
Another factor is the cost of fuel. Its probably just as expensive to drive than to get an over priced train ticket (if they were running).
Transport costs are nosing back in front of match ticket prices. Sadly, not because matches are a lot cheaper but travel costs are fuckin bonkers.
Footy is an expensive past time.

An FA cup SF is arguably bigger than a League Cup final anyhow let alone when you factor in the added rivalry between the two clubs 6 yrs on.It wasn't a semi final, it wasn't Easter and trains were running.
How many people actually go down on trains anyhow ? 2 maybe 3 thousand tops. People will hire minivans or coaches or what have you. They’ll get there by hook or by crook.
Not complaining, i've no axe to grind with Chelsea. Just funny how a solution is found when the financial losses seem greater.They could have ended up getting a lot more money if Chelsea can't take there cut, and there were away fans sales to Chelsea fans who were on like our Superbia, 600 of them.

I think you're bang on with the summing up here, It's a bad weekend to travel to London for a lot of folks.I think that’s the reason. It was Brighton, who with all respect to them, we were expected to beat and had only been to the final of the league cup 5 weeks or so earlier. This may be the only visit as the opposition is better and we didn’t get to the league cup final. It is a huge game for both teams. Demand will naturally be higher but the weekend chosen is ridiculous and like you say, Easter will stop some going. I think It will go to general sale (with purchase history) but may well sell out.
The point about no trains is that everyone is forced onto the M6. That includes Liverpool. Add to the Saturday Bank Holiday traffic.An FA cup SF is arguably bigger than a League Cup final anyhow let alone when you factor in the added rivalry between the two clubs 6 yrs on.

I am not saying it won't sell out, a poster asked if it would likely go to open sale. I think it will go to Citizens.
We know the semis are contracted to Wembley with all the cooperate season ticket holders paying up to ten years in advance, but moving the semis comes up almost every year.
Zero chance of it moving for another 10 years. For the Charity Shield in 2019 most of the Liverpool fans were in their 20s from the south east with fake CANDY and CROWN PAINTS shirts on, so I am not sure what they are bothered about.

Sunderland had fans in our endWe actually sold more than them iirc
Absolute bollocks that away fans were ever in our end at Wembley
