Seat Counters 25/26

The club was not responsible for those empty seats.
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.

We don’t know that.

They could have been tickets from ticket partner sites that didn’t sell (they are often priced at £350 and well above for finals so can see why people from our support wouldn’t buy them).

That area of the bottom tier along that side is where all the players’ families sit at Wembley. When we’ve lost finals, I’ve always stayed after the game and that area is always still busy with people who the players go over to. Maybe our players didn’t move enough along to friends+family.

Maybe there was a fuck up with the City ticket site.

Maybe the FA couldn’t shift them on to the FA family.

We do know that as all ticket partners have to return tickets that unsold by a certain period,prior to the match.
And prior to the initial allocation selling out various amounts of tickets were beind added all the time.

Do 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.

City’s ticket partners do, but there are ticket sites unaffiliated with clubs who have tickets for finals that might not run with the same rules… SeatPick LiveFootballTickets etc.

And are nothing to do with City, so why do we have supporters blaming the ticket office when we sold out our allocation.
If you look at the Chelsea end the empty seats near enough mirrored the exact position of those empty in our end and they sold out their allocation.
Wembley stadium capacity 90000,the 2 participants sold circa 67000.
The question is where did the other 23000 tickets go that the FA distribute.

But you blame City in one post , then unaffiliated sites in another.
My club gets the blame for alot of shit that it does not deserve.

Not sure if it had any bearing on the empty seats, but there were a lot of extra bodies in the safe standing block where I was. A whole row were stood up behind me where there were no seats. Good atmosphere mind.

I never said they were owt to do with City.

I have the same question as you at the end. Both sets of fans should have been given a larger allocation.

I was curious as I thought it was just Chelsea at first. As you say the missing punters were definitely mirroring each other in most of those areas.
 
I am curious as to why there have been zero tickets coming up for sale from people putting theirs up on the exchange this week. There has to be a few. Is this a case of the club giving them straight to the third party sites?
