Seat Counters 25/26

[Marvin.]

Not a Seat counter by trade, but was wondering how can anyone be sure of the total number of blocks/seats that were never released and the total re-allocated to Soton ? Without that info how can we calculate the % of the original allocation (33,500) actually bought by blues.
Or is that the whole point of the Seat Counters ? ie they don't share their methods, hush, hush. My wild arse guess was 30K blues would go, which now seems way too optimistic...

If you follow the sales from the start you can see what blocks were released for sale. Those that have always been greyed out are the ones that were never released. You can work out the capacity of the blocks by looking at the equivalent block on another side.

If you know the allocation you can subtract the tickets left and tickets held back to get at the sales.

Figuring out how many we've sold is pure estimation work at this point with the amount of blocks that have gone back on sale at different points.

Theres 4,400 showing and roughly 4,000 in blocks yet to go on sale. We also saw 1,000 seats in level 1 get mysteriously removed yesterday.

Based on this I've got it about 24,000 sold, however there could be 25,000 blues there if those 1,000 seats have been given away.

I think there’s usually about a 1,000 Blues who get tickets (often in Club Wembley) for semi finals and final through business and charity contacts. That will be on top of City’s official figures.

If City have given away up to a 1,000 tickets to good causes, good for them.

Agree,they've been sound at Wembley and at Stamford Bridge for years now ,

There was some trouble at the semi final a few years back.

 

[Tbilisi]

does chelski have seat counters? that's the question

All been sacked despite being on 10 year contracts.

Ticket for troops have free tickets in the City end if anyone has access.

Assume these will be in the Unopened blocks.

I thought Troopz was an Arsenal fan.
I don't think he'll be needing a ticket for either semi -final.

 

[manclad]

Well seats are now going up and not down lol

I was always told that mites grow up and tights come down.

I’ve done my bit- managed to get x3 for a lovely Polish family near me. 2x young children now blues forever xx

Ruined the view for the 3 sat behind 3 poles!

Good work mate. Counting the counters. Looks like EMB is seat counter of the year and I’d say well deserved for sheer consistency.

Inception

 

[fathellensbellend]

It's not been the greatest seat counting lacking in drama, big numbers and the algorithm, the lord mayors show after arsenal

 

[Ban-jani]

Can we have a forfeit for the furthest away?

We all thought Arsenal would be dull and this one would be a thriller but it turned out to be the other way round. Funny Old Game, this seat counting.

@bluesmith is a well respected veteran. He’s had a bad game but he’ll be back. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Yeah, let myself down with that one, I think the current team form gave me false hope our floating fans would show up.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I know Blues who are still buying tickets this morning.

Why Wembley is losing its shine for a lot of Man City fans

Manchester City will make their 31st trip to the new Wembley Stadium on Saturday when they take on Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals

You better tell them to hurry up as sales finish at 10am this morning.

I’ve given them the 10am warning. It won’t be enough sakes to knock EMB off Seat Counters top spot lol.

We might break even on the coach though.

 

[flapjack]

I make it 4042 left currently, (plus the 4000 to go on sale)....so well done @EastMidlandsBlue absolutely bang on
