ticket prices for semi- final

ballinio said:
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 ?

I didn't say there would be blocks of empty seats. I said the press would have a field day if there were. Also, I didn't say that City's prices were expensive per se, I said that City fans (as a group) had one of the lowest disposable income levels in the Premier League and that many had been priced out of going to games. Comprehension not your strong point? Also if it were a 5:30pm kick off I could accept the assertion that Sunday would be difficult for some people. As it isn't however, I can't see why it would be any more or less difficult to attend than a Saturday game.

Anyone remember at what point we sold out for the semis in 2011 and 2013?

season cards in 2011, down to members in 2013

ironically we have about 8000 more season card holders now, i dare bet there is a good few left, if it was down to hundreds, no way would they let season card holders and members buy an extra 2 each
 
Wonder what time the leave early brigade will make for the exit.fair play to all the fans that are going it not a cheap day out plus it a fair old slog there and back then work in the morning one word RESPECT

What's it exactly you're embarrassed about again ? Reading not your strong point ?
Priced out by what ? Not expensive seats then by what ?
Talk about backtracking .

There are a few fans who sit near me that have been buying season cards for donkeys years but just dont travel, they've rarely been to a match outside of Manchester. Some have mobility issues, others just dont do aways. Many of them made an exception for the United game in 2011and most of them will travel for a final. But for them, a semi final at Wembley isn't that much more appealing than a quarter final at Boro.
 
The Tarquins will sell out and probably mop up level 2/club Wembley , it's easily affordable on London wages and they can set off half an hour before the game, our fan base has to make more of an effort - transport, on a Sunday etc.

Nothing wrong with our fanbase whatsoever, we will sell out - much like we do for Champions league games that plenty on here say will be 10,000 short.

I class myself as reasonably well off ,but it's still an expensive day out-for me and my 17 year old it's going to be close on £300 quid for a day out, Wembley's great but which ever way you dress it up it's dear- especially family's with 2 kids.

More cheap season tickets will increase our supporter base , we need to attract the 16/17/18 year olds in numbers to watch City- that and a few more PL titles and Pep football and it will sell out sooner.

I agree but there's a massive untapped market of football mad kids living 1 mile away from the ground , the German model would have been groundbreaking for the PL but it will never happen, Dortmund average nearly 80,000 - they are hardly Madrid or Barca- or Bayern for that matter.

Anyway we will sell out Wembley , can't believe we are arguing about it not selling out sooner - a full house is a full house after all.
