Seat Counters - 2024/25

A lot of people get paid on 15th of the month which is Tuesday, so many more will buy then.

For some strange reason, the final is only 3 weeks after the semifinal this year. That puts both games in the same pay month for some people. So I can see why people would hold-off going to the semi in case we get to the final because they can’t afford two Wembley trips in the same pay month.

Last year there were 5 weeks between the semi and final. In 2023 there were 6 weeks between.

Because the FA keep pissing around with the date. FA Cup should be last game of the season with a 3pm kick off. Only three weeks in between but how many days before fans know the actual ko time so they can book travel. Easy for Palace if they get there but for the other three sets of fans they need a# much notice as possible. Why the fuck nobody at this stage knows what time it will kick off is beyond me.

Because the FA and broadcasters are arseholes. The PL games that weekend have already been shifted to Sunday (in theory) so the cup final should kick-off at three.
But if the FA and broadcasters continue to be arseholes and can't even pit contingency plans in place. There are only four possibilities: City v Villa, City v Palace, Forest v Villa and Forest v Palace. The FA should already have something in place for each outcome. - They should also do this for the semis as soon as the quarter final draw is made, be they are too fucking incompetent.

It’s stuck on season ticket holders only all weekend, so bound to be a trickle, until it starts opening up to members on Monday.
 
I don't think we will sell out, forest will because they haven't been to a cup final/ semi final for years, we have been to what 30 times in about 14 years to Wembley, only way for semi finals to be not played at Wembley is for 1000s of seats empty, that won't happen as either a top 6 team is always at semi final or a team that has never been for years play

Or just get behind the team and make some effort

Ridiculous prices considering the ko time. Whoever sets these prices needs booting out of our club. They are killing the match going fanbase.

Tbf it's roughly 1500 tickets, how many season tickets holders won't turn up, we will see especially at the north stand.

There’s a sizeable minority who think every game that isn’t 3pm Saturday is a ridiculous time.

They can hardly price up games dependant on the time of the kick off, because:

* They’re usually not known until a few weeks before the game.

* The in-demand games where the conversation changes from.. They’ll never sell the tickets at that price, to…Why can’t a diehard like me get a ticket? Are never on Saturday 3pm.

And that sizeable minority are largely comprised of the oldies who need replacing by younger more boisterous fans

They don't exist largely due to the pricks at the helm and their ticketing policies and the alienation of the core local support, an 8 year old at the time of 93;20 will be 21 now, they had the opportunity especially when Pep started to hoover up the vast majority of young local supporters but they failed. You do see under 10s in their city shirts but the vast majority do NOT go to games for the obvious reason, our 18-30 match going support must be as a percentage of the gate must be amongst the lowest in top flight football.

Lowest in top flight football ?

Is that from from diligent Scientific research or a gut feeling.

I go to home and away matches and I am amazed at the number of kids at City home matches.

But I will defer to your research.
 
it looks like with supporter club allocations, season ticket holders have sold about 6000 tickets for wembley, surely more than 1 in 6 is interested, i guess it's better than the 3000 sold for the community shield v Arsenal.
