ticket prices for semi- final

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.
About an hour ago I bought two tickets on row 3 of block 550, near the half way line.
So it can't be just the back rows
 
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.

Yep, which is no surprise as distance wise it's like a home game for Arsenal. If the match was at Old Trafford and we'd received the same allocation that we have for Wembley, we'd have easily sold out by now.

Yep, saw your post earlier about that. I don't think it means they've only sold seats on the first 3 rows of block 550 though as the ones close to the half way line tend to go the quickest. I'm guessing some seats have become available through returns. This morning there were seats available in loads more blocks of Level 1 than there had been in the past week but now it's only offering a choice of a couple of blocks in Level 1.
 
I'm embarrassed for those of you who are embarrassed. It must be the most common emotion on Bluemoon.

Fair enough, could be corporate returns.
I tried to buy seats on the front row as soon as they were on sale but none were available, must have gone elsewhere
 
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.....

how is it embarrassing. its a sunday and your looking at 100 quid minimum to get there/get tickets. as you say we dont have a very rich fan base, the majority of the corporate section will be arsenal fans.

Over a week before the match think we will sell nearly all the allocation, all first year season ticket holders and citizens only went on sale yesterday.
 
11 and a half days still to sell out. I cant wait, will never get tired of seeing city at Wembley. I understand those that think its a drag having a semi final there. at least we are in one and still have a chance of a trophy. level 1 looks like its nearly all gone.
 
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.
No not yet,but email today says will receive them within 48 hours.
