ticket prices for semi- final

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Our support is not what people think.

Had this argument on Saturday with someone in the south stand when I said tickets will go on general sale for this game.

He thought I had said they were on general sale on Saturday. 200 points I believe it was on Saturday which any first year season ticket holder would have.

Anyhow when you go away the usual mob are there but they get slagged for either being points whores or encouraging points whoring.

Games like this prove to me that those doing the moaning do so because they simply not done the miles, the time or the effort to get tickets.

Semi final in the FA cup should be sold by now.

You're right, it should be, and frankly it's embarrassing that it's not. However, the club has systematically priced a significant section of one of the poorest (in terms of disposable income) fan bases in the Premier League out of going to games over the last 5 or 6 years, so maybe that's a factor? Still piss poor that as a group of supporters we've become so complacent so soon though. The media will have a field day if there are blocks of empties on the day.....

What is the likelihood that if you buy extra tickets they will be anywhere near the ones you already have or is it a total lottery?

go on the ticket site and check
I've just bought a couple more, just two blocks from us and on the third row of the top tier, so there seems to be plenty left

Off topic but anyone else doing London marathon in the morning before the semi?

Hope you're not sat next to me. You will be all sweaty

Sweaty but de hydrated so I won't piss you off by going to the bogs every 15 minutes as usual.

The prices for this I think are ok. £30 tickets were/are available.

It's not expensive to watch City compared with other clubs , my season ticket is £380.
Also it's a Sunday game , difficult for some people , especially with kids but I'll tell you what , there will not be blocks of empty seats at all , you're talking shite & it will sell out , we don't play for almost 2 weeks so what exactly are you embarrassed about ?

Anybody else who got wrong tickets sent had their replacements yet? The person who has one of our tickets is not returning it to Ticket Office till next Tuesday! Supporter Services confident they will get it back for me to receive it by special courier following day.

I can't make the game now, so have 4 sat together in Block 128, Row 27....£50.00 each if anyone is interested.

Are they a mix of adults and kids?

My guess is that we will sell out our allocation but that Arsenal fans will dominate the 2nd tier seats. They'll mop up the corporate seats.

As you say, not a chance there will be whole blocks of empties. To my knowledge, all blocks allocated to City have been on sale since day one so they're not holding back entire blocks of tickets. There's hardly any availability in Level 1 and although there are seats in loads of blocks available in Level 5, a lot of them are just on the back few rows. It may stutter a bit towards a sell out but it won't be like the Community Shield games against United and Arsenal at Wembley where there were indeed blocks of empty seats. Then again, we still sold around 20,000 for the 2011 CS and when we played Chelsea at Villa Park in the following season's curtain raiser we easily sold out our allocation whereas Chelsea didn't sell all their tickets.
