I agree that’s an embarrassing notion from that poster, I expect City to sell around 30k, the thing is why would he share his negativity on here when most of us are looking forward to the semi final and Haaland at Wembley.

It’s not that deep lad, don’t get upset.

It’s a forum where people share their opinions!

Read my post again. I said anything more than 15k would be good. That doesn’t mean we’ll struggle to sell 15k, it means that if we exceed that number it’s something for us to be proud of.

I really doubt we’ll sell 30k. Call me negative all you want, I’m just being a realist and I don’t think we should beat ourselves up if there is a ‘poor’ attendance for this.

Think it will depend how bothered they are about monitoring who’s going. If they open it up to completely open sale, I’d guess they’d sell out easily.

But at the moment their criteria goes down to one ticket per person, who must have previously registered an online account and been to what looks like about 10 matches.

If they stuck with that, they might struggle to shift them.

Just read some of the comments. They seem like a pragmatic bunch, mainly in support of the idea of general sale, so that as many blades as possible can go (potential future fans). As a daytripper myself, I approve of this view.

Can't stand those tedious f***ers at Forest who compete with each other to brag about the most obscure game they attended and don't think anyone new should ever attend a game.

15k I think is under estimating the 2023 level of following.

Games difficult to get to away midweek sell out and games at home where prices are deemed high sell out.

True, Haaland has definitely had a huge impact on ticket sales.

Hope I’m wrong but I reckon we’ll end up at around 20k (which would be absolutely brilliant support considering prices/cost of living/novelty worn off etc).

Very confident we'll sell more than 15k, and even if we don't why would it be an embarrassment?
The club has been there more than 20 times in the last 12 years, I doubt if any other club has been there that many times in a 12 year span.
Along with many others I'll be there a couple of days after the Munich trip, but I know a couple of guys going to Munich who can't make the wembley game simply down to financial reasons, as they won't have much change out of seven ton the Munich trip is costing.
I'll tell them to feel embarrassed about it.

Pretty much my situation. Going to Munich (3 days holiday), following week up for the Arsenal game (500 mile round trip - 2 days off). The pot only stretches so far so will me giving the semi-final a miss. Bit gutted but you have to cut your cloth accordingly.

I certainly wont be embarrassed about it.

Haha. I got called “whingey” and “negative” a couple of days ago for suggesting we’d sell 20-25,000. I’m with you. It’s not a glamorous tie, we will probably play a weakened team and there’s a very good chance of a cup final to follow.

Who gives a shit if we sell that many apart from a few teenage internet armchair bantz merchants?
 
Seat counters would love the website for the papajohns final. Bolton fan showed me today. See all blocks in one go. Told 74k going (35kBolton 39k Plymouth)

I have to say that their fans come across pretty well on that forum.

Returns pop up and vanish like this in the week before every game. It was actually sold out back in September. I think every home game is now.

Yeah just letting Blues know for those who want them. There's even more on now. Seems like quite a few have decided to stay at home and watch on TV. Outrageous prices BTW.
 
A huge surge of tickets came available on the site the day before the Liverpool game. It's been sold out for 6 months, so nobody can plan travel or accommodation, all assuming there are no tickets. You can only do returns up to 7 days before the game. Why are so many tickets suddenly available? Unsold hospitality? Exchange tickets listed at the last minute? Any wonder opponents take the piss when have hundreds of tickets are for sale the night before a huge game. But that's not a true reflection, demand for the game was through the roof, you needed to have attended 5 home games last year to even be capable of buying, but suddenly there are any amount to buy. Something is not right. Mental criteria, a complete sell out, followed by a deluge at the end.

Yep, scandalous pricing. Seems a fair bit of availability too. Hopefully they'll pretty much all be filled by tomorrow. The 5 game criteria won't help and as somebody mentioned large numbers of them are probably resale site returns and unsold hospitality. At the start of the season many probably highlighted this game as a potential title decider for both sides and that's no longer the case. I'd take one myself but can't justify £100+ for 90 mins entertainment at the moment.

Makes no sense where they’ve appeared from. The criteria tonight is still 5 home games needed to have been attended and they don’t seem to be shifting. Surely they should just be available to members who have attended 1 or 2 games this season

It’s barely a hundred mate, I presume just people last minute who can’t make it…not exactly the end of the world and I would expect they will sell even at the ridiculous prices they are up for !
 
I’m sorry but 100+ tickets don’t suddenly appear at the same time 24 hours before the game.

Somebody has fucked up here. I presume City have been holding tickets to sell for £500 including a meal at Goucho and have not sold as many as they hoped.

Fucking farce that this many are left.

After all the shit we got in the week about why are we building a new stand and we still fuck this up.

There’s no way that the crowd will be primarily people who have attended 5 games or more. There will be lots of people there tomorrow who have never attended a game before

We have a large number of seats which are always shown as sold out/ unavailable to purchase. The club usually gives these to corporate packages, maybe they struggled to shift these?

I looked a few months ago at getting a ticket, they were all sold out on the official site, but with reselling sites offering them for a ridiculous £400+ per ticket. The official site links to ticket/hotel packages shifting for similar amounts. I imagine that those unsold tickets have been returned, now that it's obvious they're not going to shift.

Agree with you 100%. Genuine Blues have been crying out for tickets for weeks if not months, the only ones available were on inflated resale sites and for hospitality, and suddenly there are a significant number at face value, hours before the game. It doesn't add up. If they sold them to real fans with proper criteria from the start, this wouldn't happen. Sell the tickets to your real fans from the start, forget trying to get inflated prices from touts, and then hoping local fans will be able to go at short notice when the scalper tickets didn't sell. A really shit sales policy, the club get most things right, but not this.
