ticket prices for semi- final

robert o'mancini said:
Yeah but if we have 50,000 season ticket holders who show up at Eastlands every week then we only need 67% of them to buy tickets to sell out our allocation. For most of the 80s and 90s we averaged around 30k yet we'd have sold out a semi or a final no problem.

And would two FA Cup finals in 6 years, one of them a losing one, really dampen fans enthusiasm for winning the cup to such an extent that semis are not worth going to now especially with it being our only chance of silverware (hate that phrase) this season ?

I think the reason lies in the fact that the 20,0000 or so extra season ticket holders we've gained are either raised on the idea that the PL and CL are everything or they see City as a form of entertainment rather than a lifelong passion and as such wouldn't travel 200 miles for 90 minutes of entertainment.

How many times have we been to Wembley in the last six years? I've lost count. My City ideal used to be to one day see City at Wembley. Now weve done it many times. I'd go back every time if I could as it is the better than going to any other ground but I can see why a lot of fans aren't as keen as they once were.

I remember when we went to Wembley to play utd we were giddy and very excited and very nervous. By the time we played Sunderland in the league Cup Final it was role reversal. They were dead excited and we had been there and done that.

If I was guaranteed a ticket for the final by going to the semi I would go no problem. My view is why bother going to a semi when I have got no chance of getting a final ticket. I don't mind those with more points getting them. It is all the hangers on, past players,family of past players , supporters clubs etc etc that will go to the final but cannot be arsed going to the semi that I have an issue with

Come on Marvin, if we all thought like that then no one would turn up! This is what we dreamed of for a generation! Fans should never get complacent and should back the club no matter what.

there were plenty of city fans excited about that game, the celebration when we scored was mental. i might be wrong, but it sounds like your not as excited or enthusiastic about games like this ?
 
Can't wait for Sunday's game but from reading other people's posts (who are in the know) that we havet sold out our allocation you can already guess the abuse we are going to get,

You're right about the Sunderland game and I don't expect everyone to still have the same childlike enthusiasm for it that we had for the rags semi but the joy of being there to see us win a big match never gets old even though it may seem like a right ballache to get there and pay for it all etc.

The memories of the game and, hopefully, the celebrations stay with you long after you've forgotten gettin stuck on the M6 or paying £10 a pint or whatever.
