Really good work, and very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to look into it.
Just to clarify - was our initial allocation 30,000 last year too?

Huge amount more have gone to supporters clubs.My choice was definitely not as good as last year. Either loads have joined the cup scheme or they have siphoned more off which wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

This certainly seems to be the indication. It would be interesting to know exactly how many more.Huge amount more have gone to supporters clubs.

We got the exact same seats as last year at 10 this morning, I would say selection was better in Block 128, although it’s the £115 tickets and possibly a sign that more have gone for lower price categories which will reduce choice in those blocks?My choice was definitely not as good as last year. Either loads have joined the cup scheme or they have siphoned more off which wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Thanks. I took my snap a little earlier than yours by looks of it, wanted to avoid getting stuck in the queue system.I have it at 5,872 just a few minutes ago. Looking like about 3k available on Friday.

Yeah, i'd be amazed if it did sell out at theI wouldn't like to second guess this but I think you'll be ok at 1pm tomorrow. However, the choice of seats might not be too great. We should get another 2000 or so added to the initial allocation and there may well be more tickets on top of that to drip feed back on to the planner so probably looking at 9000-10,000 still to sell all told but it's all guesswork at the moment and I do think more tickets have been siphoned off this year compared to last year before going on sale to points holders. Either that or more are being held back off the planner compared to last year.
I'm going to have a nosey back at last year's thread to try and compare the numbers currently remaining against last year at the same point
Good work. I don't suppose anybody clocked the original sales number last year? This year it was only 18,000.This was the criteria last year:
Points Date Time Season Ticket Members registered on the FA Cup Scheme can purchase one ticket at the following time: 17500 Fri 12th May 9am 14000 Fri 12th May 12pm 10000 Fri 12th May 3pm 6500 Mon 15th May 9am 3500 Mon 15th May 12pm Any Mon 15th May 3pm Season Ticket Members not registered on the FA Cup Scheme can purchase one ticket at the following time: 17500 Tues 16th May 9am 14000 Tues 16th May 12pm 10500 Tues 16th May 3pm 7500 Weds 17th May 9am 4000 Weds 17th May 12pm Any Weds 17th May 3pm
And this is this year's criteria:
Points Date Time Season Ticket Members registered on the FA Cup Scheme can purchase one ticket at the following time: 19,500 Wednesday 1st May 10am 16,500 Wednesday 1st May 1pm 12,500 Wednesday 1st May 4pm 9,500 Thursday 2nd May 10am 6,000 Thursday 2nd May 1pm 4,000 Thursday 2nd May 4pm All Friday 3rd May 10am Season Ticket Members not registered on the FA Cup Scheme can purchase one ticket at the following time: 10,000 Friday 3rd May 1pm 7,500 Friday 3rd May 4pm 6,000 Tuesday 7th May 10am 5,000 Tuesday 7th May 1pm 4,000 Tuesday 7th May 4pm 3,000 Wednesday 8th May 10am 2,000 Wednesday 8th May 1pm All Wednesday 8th May 4pm
There are smaller gaps and points drops for ST holders not on the cup scheme this year.
I've just looked at last year's thread and after the 3rd window sales had died down (10,000 points Cup Scheme) but just before the 4th window opened (6500 points Cup Scheme) there were around 10,000 showing on the planner.
Comparing it to the equivalent windows this year. After the 3rd window sales had died down (12,500 points Cup Scheme) but just before the 4th window opened at 10am this morning (9500 points cup scheme), there were 7902 showing on the planner.
So that's around 2000 less tickets showing this year compared to last year at the equivalent stage. Not only that, the criteria for the 3rd and 4th sales windows this year is much higher - 12,500 vs 10,000 Cup Scheme (3rd sales window) and 9500 vs 6500 Cup Scheme (4th sales window).
Either more have been siphoned off this time round or more are being held back.

I think pretty much the whole yellow section lower behind goal was blocked out for them, someone can probably work out how many. I know my local supporters club had around double what they got last year.This certainly seems to be the indication. It would be interesting to know exactly how many more.

Plenty of suggestions that SCs got everything they asked for this year. Do you happen to know if your branch requested a similar number last year?I think pretty much the whole yellow section lower behind goal was blocked out for them, someone can probably work out how many.

Aren't city usually pretty accurate when they release the criteria for the FA Cup? If they have criteria for all season ticket holders then they think it will get to that level?
