It didn't about 2500 of our allocation unsold, they had to take them off sale at 3pm yesterday.

I’d guess that they went off sale on Thursday so City could somehow collude with Wembley and share data so that fans who lose tickets or whatever can be sorted at the Wembley ticket office today. I don’t know why they are able to put them back on sale today.My first attempt at seat counting, so please don't take this as 100% accurate, but.....456 left.
Do any of our resident professionals know why they've gone back on sale this morning?
Many were - but I don’t think they’d travelled from Madrid for the gameI bet they weren’t Spanish though?
So in the end 69603 tickets were sold, I guessed it would be around 7600. It looked to me like 38K blues and 31K blades. That's not a bad effort, however what really struck me, as always, was just how enormous that place is. Anyone on Level 3 will know if they left the stadium down the never ending staircase.
What surprised me was how empty the level 2 area was yesterday. This is the corporate and club Wembley part which doesn't get sold to clubs. Vast blocks had hundreds of empty seats in
The BBC are doing their best to convince everyone there isn’t an empty seat in the house, utter bolx.They sold most of it out on a 10 year package when the ground opened. But that period was up a few years ago and I think renewals was very low.
I once made a tentative enquiry for a City game and they mithered me numerous times afterwards.
Think it was £120 in there for the semis. Just for the seat and no hospitality involved.
It’s not anywhere near sold out today either, even with United and their billions of fans.
To be fair, at half time they all agreed it should’ve been played ooop NorfThe BBC are doing their best to convince everyone there isn’t an empty seat in the house, utter bolx.
This will be a different kind of seat counting. It will be updating blues not on the cup scheme as to whether they’ve got a chance of a ticket before they are gone. It won’t last long.There will be some nervy seat counter watching for the FA Cup final now…
That prediction is quite high but with it being United in the final, every fucker and his dog will be wanting to go to this one so you might be right. Plus it’s unlikely that we get as many extra tickets as we did for the Watford final. A mate of mine has been a season ticket holder since 1990 but has way less than 10,000 points so he might be sweating on a ticket.This will be a different kind of seat counting.

My prediction is this will go down to season ticket holders and sell out around the 10,000 point mark.
How is his points that low? My cousin got his in 2011, had the cup schemes but just always gold, never platinum. Very odd away game when he can get them and he has 8,900 points.That prediction is quite high but with it being United in the final, every fucker and his dog will be wanting to go to this one so you might be right.

He’s not on the cup schemes and never has been so he’s missed out on loads of points that way. He used to go to away games quite regularly but has only done the very occasional one since about 2004. Even when he has gone to one, it’s usually on someone else’s ticket as he’s not had enough points himself.How is his points that low?

We need to know how many are on the FA Cup scheme to make more educated guesses. Total guess: 22k?That prediction is quite high but with it being United in the final, every fucker and his dog will be wanting to go to this one so you might be right.

The allocations now are just over 28000, if a fan get tickets off the FA they have to choose which side to sit, I cannot imagine any red will dare sit on our side, we will have an equal following, bar those cockneys who will go in club wembleyWe need to know how many are on the FA Cup scheme to make more educated guesses.

We will get about 26k tickets to sell I assume. Another 10k City end tickets will go out through the other usual channels.
