ticket prices for semi- final

[Hoghead]

That's a good return
Just put £69 from our trip to Southampton! I should buy something cheaper to run.

Mine was £145 round trip to Salcombe in Devon! Fiat Ducato 2.2.

I checked online. hardly any change over last 24 hours. Based solely on the online tickets and a plan of the ground with row numbers I reckon there are between 1,500 left online. But if City have unsold tickets on their hands from supporters clubs, staff, corporate sponsors etc then their could be more left than that. I reckon a few might buy on Tuesday after the Easter break when thoughts turn to the next week.

Seems to have been a bit of movement on the tickets. we might just shift the last few this week.

Anyone have any real clue how many have been sold for this weekend ??

It looks like only 5 blocks with any large gaps. 12 blocks still noticeable gaps.

I think we will have to brace ourselves for a few holes.

Its not the end of the universe btw.

It's not, but it' s symptomatic of a growing disconnect between club and fans I think

Just checked the arse site, they're showing sold out, mind you travelling 2.5 miles or whatever it is will have helped.

I'd imagine even if they stay to the end half of them will be home by the time I get off the tube in Ruislip.

If we win I don't think any Blues will care less about empty seats.

We have 50000 fans who are connected enought to the club to go every home game, there are many reasons 20000 arent going to the semi final at Wembley, dont think 20000 have suddenly become diconnected enough to just not go to a semi final.

This might ruffle a few feathers, but I think those in the FA Cup scheme, went to the FA cup games home and away,, and are going to the semi-final should all get a chance to get a final ticket first. Once those tickets have been allocated, and if there are any tickets left, which I doubt, then they should go to people who aren't in the cup scheme, didn't attend a FA Cup game, or the semi-final, that includes season ticket holders.

Cue the abuse. :-)

No abuse mate because what you've proposed is basically what happens, apart from the bit with people who go to semi final cup scheme and points seems fair to me, then comes season ticket holders with points.

Bloody hell a ten minute bus ride and £30 or £40 tickets to a Londoner and they send tickets back fuck me they deserve to go out.

 

[fathellensbellend]

cannot see us selling many more now, have we mustered 30000, the club never say, well done to those making the effort.

Or a disconnect between fans and their wallets? Even though the tickets are not extortionately priced you're still looking at around £90/£100 to cover everything just for a day trip.

You could say the same about Chelsea in 2013 but we sold that out (I assume)

Where have you read this? Very surprising if true.

You could be right. Maybe it's a generational thing in the sense that the FA Cup isn't as big a deal to 15 -35 year olds as it is to older fans. I'm in my 40s and had we got to a semi at anytime between 1981 and 2011 then I would've moved heaven and earth to get there but I can see how younger fans might prioritize the derby over the semi with it being in the same week.

Between 81 and 2011 we didn't get to semis so everyone went , since then we get to one semi or another nearly every year so it becomes easier to sit one out it gets expensive Wembley once may twice a year.
