Seat Counters 25/26

[mcfc315]

Final will sell out fast. I know so many who didn't go on the Saturday with the purpose of saving for the final.

Did Chelsea sell out their allocation for the FA Cup Semi?

No

We played there 2 seasons ago and have a reasonable chance of playing there again next month too.

We've actually played there a fair bit, this is our 4th (well 5th but one only had a couple thousand fans) visit in the past decade which is pretty good for a club of our stature.

I don't blame you lot for not selling out as outside of London clubs nobody without huge plastic support would playing there as many times as you have. But it's not correct to allude to Wembley as some mythical venue we hardly ever play at.

Must admit I do hate the semis being at Wembley though. Would much prefer to be going to a different stadium for the game this weekend.

Which was the one that you only got a couple of thousand at?

Yes I lived down there for a couple of years and it's a fckin nightmare to get to by car or train. Where as London is 2 hrs 20 mins for me on rattler. Only thing I miss from Cardiff is Brains Bitter...a nice pint.

Especially the SA(Skull Attack) Brains

Semi final against Leicester 2021, covid era so was massively restricted and I think only available to key workers or people living nearby. Something like that anyway.

 

[Lewisszn]

Anyone any idea when criteria for final are likely to be released?

Day before the game

 

[Rossk198]

Last year there was quite a descending list of criteria, for members it was all about how many fa cup games you have been to in the last few seasons, I think they'll do the same again.

As luck would have it, Wetherspoons at Ruislip Manor were selling Brains on Saturday. I ordered a couple of pints but it ran out mid-pull.

i have seen the usual suspects put in for final tickets within a supporters club asking for multiple tickets, yet they NEVER set foot in the Etihad, no way should these kind of supporters get dibs on the cheaper tickets, they should be allocated the expensive middle tier tickets and be grateful for the fucker

I don't disagree although I think branches are allocated tickets with no guarantee of what priced ticket they receive. I don't think if a branch asks for 50 tickets they can say we want 25 cat 5 and 25 cat 4, they may be allocated 50 cat 3 tickets. If you buy through the club via loyalty seats you can literally pick your block, row and seat, branches can't they will just be given tickets.

What does it matter
Let the insecure worry about that

 

[Lee the Blue]

Another Wembley seat count for our stable of excellence upcoming.

Hoping we get the West Side for this one.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

No real jeopardy in an FA cup final seat count. The only question marks are how many tickets will be left for members and how long will it take for the £250+ tickets to shift.

I recall that there was a bit of concern about the £250 one’s last year – it seemed to take a long time to sell these partly due to the drawn-out sale criteria.

Because of the amount of posts of twitter etc saying any other top flight club would've sold Wembley out even though the other semi literally 24 hours later didn't sell out either

 

[Tolmie scores]

Villa Park, 20,000 each, would have done but the FA doesn’t scoop up more corporate profits then.

Semi final txt should be hard to come by...id say help Sheff Wed out and help re build their ground as a SF venue and Villa Park should be a venue agai. Fa cup tradicion for oldest pro cup in the world..
.FA won't though

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

This is the the third season in a row that we have been to Wembley three times. Would be a lovely gesture by the club to either subsidise the cost of the tickets or charter some trains and put on cheap travel. Looking at £250 for me and one kid for just tickets and travel, that's with rail cards and the cheapest seats based on last year's final! Haven't even sorted out food / drinks / tubes etc. By the time you add everything up, it's the best part of 1k going three times per season.

I love Brains stout. And they do an awesome dark mild too. Not seen neither for a while so they might of knocked em on the head.
