Seat Counters 25/26

This happens for most cup finals, there’s an initial announced allocation but it always increases and then you’ve got City fans buying directly off the FA.Also BBC says the same

I do find it funny when randoms come into this thread and try and teach seat counting to some of the absolute best in the business.Well then they are wrong as well. See my post above.
You’re not in the right here. You look like a dick.
This guy has definitely picked the wrong bloke to argue about Wembley allocations with.

RagDo we need to talk about the empty seats at Wembley? In mean WTF is going on? Put the sold out signs up without even opening it to members who hadn't attended an FA Cup home match. We have a club which is run as a world class outfit from top to tail. Will we ever get a ticket office to match? Now we all have to suffer the "small club can't sell all their tickets" jibes because of their **** up. And I'm sat watching on the telly when I could've been there.

Don't fall for it hes not a BlueYou could have been there.
If you couldn't get one of the 33000 tickets we sold, it says to me you haven't been very often or you weren't arsed in the first place.
So stop writing utter shit to make the club look bad, when it clearly had nothing to do with them or Chelsea and everything to do with you.
Take off the loyalty points scheme and the supporters clubs allocation and you are left with the sold out signs.Take off staff and players families, plus ALL sponsorship allocations. You are talking between 2 to 3k tickets less.
You we're wrong, just hold your hands up and admit it.
Irrelevant we still had those tickets.Take off staff and players families, plus ALL sponsorship allocations. You are talking between 2 to 3k tickets less.
Some of us immediately read the room and realised…I do find it funny when randoms come into this thread and try and teach seat counting to some of the absolute best in the business.

Used to work in TV, camera side. No DBS checks (BBC) for working with kids , just a disclaimer form you signed :0
It is difficult to be banned from the seat counter thread, a liberal set, but you need to be careful. Admitting you are BBC does not help.
Fuck off you melt
First off, I had a season ticket from 1999-2013. Now I've moved away I go to about 5 or 6 matches a season. This year I'll have been to 6 home matches and 3 away. One of those away matches was in the FA Cup. I haven't been to any home cup matches so I didn't qualify for tickets.You could have been there.

Second, I'm not trying to make the club look bad, the ticket office is making the club look bad. One way or another, they're responsible for those seats standing empty when there are loads of fans ready to buy them. I don't understand why I'm being attacked for pointing that out.

Loads of empty seats in our end and Chelsea's, awful when both clubs had people desperate to go.

I don't think the club are responsible to be honest. Noticeable empties in the Chelsea end as well. Sometimes people leave seats and go stand with friends. Also for any given event, say even 1% didn't make it on the day, illness, transport, events, that'd be another 850 empties, on top of that corporate allocations where the seats are bought and clients are invited who don't show. No matter how big the event, there are always prime halfway line empties at Wembley, the ticket cost is irrelevant to those people.First off, I had a season ticket from 1999-2013. Now I've moved away I go to about 5 or 6 matches a season. This year I'll have been to 6 home matches and 3 away. One of those away matches was in the FA Cup.

I really don't see why you can blame the City ticket office when they sold our allocation.

Can I just ask how you managed to get tickets for 2 away league matches? Seems to me that those tickets would've been far more difficult to obtain than a ticket for Wembley.First off, I had a season ticket from 1999-2013.

The initial allocation was 28,700 then went up to 33,219 with another released allocation.Just googled 28,700

Those seats and the one's in the Chelsea end were tickets that belonged to the FA and were never on offer to the clubs.
And you have been told that by countless posters in this thread but you appear to ignore posts that don't agree with yours.
Take it up with the FALoads of empty seats in our end and Chelsea's, awful when both clubs had people desperate to go.
