Seat Counters 25/26

[LongsightM13]

There won't be very many people below 5,000 points on the cup scheme.

You might be surprised

 

[bennyboy]

Does anybody know how many we have on the cup scheme.

 

[bluemooncas]

One of our group cant buy until 10am wednesday,
we could be a hotel room spare at this rate

I might be mate, I've been wrong before.

I'm only going off previous counts. The final cup scheme window is never a big one.

Quite a few younger blues I know are in that category, had STs since kids but not racked up aways etc when there were points for those

I saw somebdy say 17,000 for FA Cup but I don't know if that's correct.

They should get one I reckon but the cheapest ones remaining will probably be £125

It depends how many FA Returns we get. If we get a few then you should be fine, but if we don't get any then I think you might be in a bun fight

When are the FA returns likely to come through? Only 11 days til the game..

£50s - basically gone although I was surprised how many there were first thing (specifically block 446)
£80s - less than a hundred (70ish in block 546)
£125 - 600ish total on the bottom tier arc
£125 - maybe 4500 ish on the rest of the top tier

Thx for that, much appreciated.

I agree with EM that seems to be selling at a faster rate than Palace last year for sure. I think 4pm today is going to be pretty busy window. I don't meet my criteria til Wednesday and have been thinking I may not get a ticket at all or maybe poorest of the £175's although I got a L1 £125 reasonably easily last year? I'm thinking that this year the ST not on Cup Scheme 12k+ 4pm window may be busy but there maybe a % of people put off by selection & pricing available and may decide not to buy this year who may have bought last year with better/more value offering last time. Do Seat Counters think if FA are aware of additional availability/returns that they would hold them back to give them best chance of selling L1 £175 and L5 £125 first, then release any additional or would they just release them as they become available?

It varies each year, but I'd expect it to be this week at some point. Maybe early next week at the latest

 

[Tarnat]

any chance of a final count before next window opens?! I'm seeing some say might sell before it gets to non-cup scheme members... surely not?

It won't

Looks like you're right mate - there's a bigger queue for this window than I expected

 

[Didsbury Dave]

2133 in this queue, whatever this window is.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

No more £80 seats

 

[bluemc]

No more £80 seats

Dammit........so it's do I pay more than I budgeted for or not go at all........

Stick with it, blue. No £80s when the 1pm window opened, but if you lurk there may be some thrown back in the sea. Got an £80 when I had to have a £125 in my basket.

One in 546 safe standing now

Sorry gone

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

At the risk of sounding a hypocrite because I can’t actually make it… are we that soft as a fanbase we chuck it in when we’re 2nd and still in with a shot?

Mine has gone on because I’ve got a personal commitment I can’t get out of this weekend, but I’d be down there and backing the lads if not.

A big win v Brentford would heap the pressure back on Arsenal going to West Ham. It is not over yet.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

L1: 662
L2: 189
L5: 3,756

Total Left: 4,607

1,400 sold that window, fair play @LongsightM13, didn't think we'd sell more than 1,000
