Level 3 Closed for Liverpool?

[kenzie115]

I think the price has a lot to do with Liverpool. Don't both clubs have to agree on ticket prices? I assume thats why its also £40 for rags in Cup. These two clubs are just concerned about maximising revenue not looking after fans.

Liverpool will know that they will always sell out Anfield due to the number of fans they have even at £45. They could not charge their own fans that and then allow us to charge £15.

As far as Liverpool go if gate receipts are shared then they would rather have our ground with 30,000 in paying £45 than 48000 in paying £15.

City should be more creative though. Porto wont sell at that stupid time so why not offer fans who buy a Liverpool ticket a free ticket for Porto or something like that.

For me with this turnout its advantage Liverpool which is a shame.

On Sunday, all cup scheme holders are being charged £15 whereas the full price ticket is £45. As it's the FA Cup, gate receipts are split between the two teams, hence the reason the clubs have to agree the price, so allowing for segregation:

40,000 x £45 = £1.8 million for adults

7,000 x £10 = £70,000 for kids

Total is £1.87 million.

So both teams should receive £935,000.

Well if we have 20,000 adults on the cup scheme we have:

20,000 x £45 = £900,000

7,000 x £10 = £70,000

20,000 x £15 = £300,000

Total is £1.27 million.

United will get £935,000 meaning City will only get £335,000, an effective loss of £600,000.

I'm not sure what rules apply for the Carling Cup, especially in the semi-finals as both teams get a home match, but I'd imagine that even if gate receipts are added together then halved City could have done a similar thing for Liverpool and charged a lower price but just taken a smaller cut.

And how much did we make from the 3rd Round in previous years? Still seems like a fair payday to me although I don't suppose the police in riot gear come cheap.

just heard from a friend that they have booked tickets in level 3 :s

 

[akcity]

Here we go again, no understanding of the online sales!
The club only put certain sections on sale online to force other areas to sell.
The 3rd tier is open and will be online when the club deem it to be necessary!

Large chunks of seats in the North Stand in 137, 138, and 139 have disappeared from the online map today.

I suspect that a fair few complementaries have been handed out to fill some of the more embarrassing gaps.

Have a mate in the ticket office, they don't think we'll make 40k, probably around 37K unless there's suddenly a big uptake.

This is a semi final - come on blues
