ticket prices for semi- final

If you can't put yourself out for a semi final, when the kids are off school, then don't bother for the final.

Why? Maybe a family with kids can only afford one Wembley trip, maybe they are confident of getting there and are saving their money for a final for the kids. Nothing wrong with that.

People do what works for them or what they can afford. I just think anyone assuming we will get to the final (and the final will be a better experience) isn't thinking particularly straight:
A) it will be a tough game vs an Arsenal who are down the road from their home ground.
B) if we get through there are no guarantees of tickets for the final.
C) we do have more chance of winning the semi but we will be underdogs for the final. The semi may well be a better day out with more Blues backing the Team.
D) Our greatest semi finals have been priceless. You can't put a price on being there for Paul Power's curler at Villa Park or Yaya's dismantling of the rags. Also,!Mario smirking at gang of rag cowards and Bobby Mac getting stuck in.

Understand the family point but final tickets will be £10 each more ,they might not get one and we might not get there anyway.
If they have got the money go this one and see what happens .dont think my kids.would buy into waiting for the final story

Yes, agree with all that, it was just pointing out , the judgemental posts of what fans should be doing, with their time and money, everones circumstances are different.
I cant go to the semi final for two or three reasons, but if I got a chance of a final ticket, which I won't , I'd jump,at the chance and wouldnt be embarrased.by it.

One of our greats working for the FA and its spelt Reid. Please do a hatchet job on Gill.

This isn't a bad offer for Blues working away in london or the South. I paid £400 to see us in a Cup Final.

The prices are out of reach of most supporters (Stating the obvious).

By making the decision to skip the semi final they potentially miss out on seeing us win a semi final but they still get to go to Wembley if we win. If we lose then they dont get a trip to Wembley, but since that would be a losing trip then they're unlikely to be that bothered. They miss out on seeing our cup run ended by Arsenal.

I agree with your other points about the semi final being potentially a greater day out. But if they can only afford one trip then it has to be the final.
 
I think I overestimated the number of seats left yesterday. I had a look this morning, and the blocks above the corner flags have a bout 6 rows left, but when you look behind the goal only 1 or 2 rows are left. Maybe 1500 seats left. However I don't know whether the additional 1,000 seats we got from Wembley have been put online. Also I think sales will slow in the final week. There's no longer people waiting to become eligible to buy

Yes fair enough. You've made good points.

I would just add that many of us are from an era when the Cup carried more magic. We didn't work out detailed plans for the final before playing the semi. That's said, if people haven't got the cash to go then there are more important things than a Wembley semi final.

Tickets still shifting, albeit more slowly now. Down to the last 20 blocks where Blues can buy 2 tickets together.

I am of the "Old School" who thinks the semi-finals should be played anywhere but Wembley.

I was at Villa Park in 1969 when Tommy Booth popped up with an 87th minute winner right in front of the City fans. I was three quarters of the way up the stand and finished up a few rows from the front during the celebrations, oh happy days!

The FA are just trying to maximise their income by playing at the national stadium, there is no consideration at all for the travelling fans.

Dont agree with you mate tickets wouldnt be any cheaper at villa park.if your coming from manchester area why do you need a hotel ?
The only extra cost is a couple of gallons of petrol

You could do Wembley for £40 if you wanted to. Share a car and ticket cost. I think when I look at our aging fan base at home games, it is more that than anything. Most people who go to games could afford to go,they just don't want/can't for other reasons.
 
Neutral ground would mean less tickets. A whole new moaning thread would be created then from the ones who pick and choose games.

For some reason they hate the points system but do nothing to increase their own tally

I agree but I'm still attending the game as I don't want my son to miss out.

Wembley should be finals only!

I agree to a point but where would you hold them only grounds big enough are Old Trafford, Olympic stadium and Emirates after that we'd have a thread about the nasty supporters club taking all the tickets, points systems not fair, points whores etc etc.

In an ideal world yes but how many neutral grounds could cope with the demand for both ties next week.

There are 58 pages on here - a lot worrying about whether we would sell out. If we were at Villa Park and got 15000 tickets there would be a damn site more pages moaning about not being able to get tickets!
