ticket prices for semi- final

[philiph20]

I think the whole situation proves we don't have many U.K. based day trippers and glory hunters and yet we are castigated by all and sundry, the mind boggles.

According to report that between 1500 and 2000 not sold then 31000 have been sold which is a lot more than 20000 some scare monger we're posting on here. More will sell over the day or so and don't think it's a bad effort considering its Sunday kick off and other problems highlighted particularly the problems with kids getting back late with school on the Monday and its semi not a final.

Fantastic turnout

This will by 6th trip to the new wembley but as a club we have had 9 trips in 6 years with a potential 10th on the horizon. The tickets were like gold dust for the rags semi final but it has lost the novelty factor and the game is on a Sunday. 31,000 isn't too bad considering we don't have the levels of fanbase as arsenal do and a lot further to travel. I'm up for it anyway, let's make loads of noise and be the 12th man like we have been so many times in these big games.

My lad always worries about attendances,don't get me wrong,I also want every game sold out,but I always tell him...."as long as me and you are in there,I don't give a fuck"!!!!!!!

Yes, the info from the club is zero!

Why isn't this info about tickets stuck on the home page of the OS?

Exactly who is running the tickets office?

Exactly who is running the media department?

And why aren't the well paid directors at City making sure the above and more is done to sell semi-final tickets?

Social media and the matchday experience rammed down our throats, but little if anything via communication from the club and pushing remaining semi-final tickets.

Remember the original allocation was around 32,000. The 33,000 figure is based on the FA giving both clubs an extra 1000 tickets so if the figures in that article are accurate then only 500-1000 of the original allocation remain. They could easily go by tomorrow. And we might sell the other 1000 too.

That was an utterly laughable post claiming only 20000 had been sold. We have a go at those Rags who spout inaccurate bollocks about our club yet some of our own are just as bad if not worse.

Any season card holder can buy 2 extra and other members can get one. Been on the website for several days.
I had an email about it and on returning from a trip to Paris on Saturday, I bought 2 for a friend and his son, they arrived in the post today and I posted them of Shrewsbury for him.
We could shift 300000 tickets in the right circumstsnces, this game just isn't hitting tge spot for many, and many also aren't taking up the option of additional tickets for family and friends I guess.
Sales stop on Friday so if you are considering extra tickets, best be sharpish.

 

[David White]

Quite agree. Don't care what other fans/media think. I was there when we were shit and I'll be there Sunday as will thousands of other blues

Good man! All anyone can do is buy their own ticket and enjoy the day.

It'll be as near as full anyway come the day. Apart from club Wembley, which, by the way, is a joke.

Second Wembley trip I've missed, it's killing me reading this thread, but the boozer it is for me on Sunday.

While I'd love to be there, I do think the FA have ruined the Semi final to an extent. For most supporters it would be much more of a novelty having half of a decent sized neutral stadium like Old Trafford, St. James Park, the London Stadium or the Emirates. You could add the Etihad and Spurs new stadium to that list for next season as well.

The match against Arsenal is attractive for most, which is just as well as if it was a less attractive draw as there would def have been more than the thousand or two unsold tickets we are looking at now.

Not the fan base that's the issue Arsenal fans don't have to travel it's practically a home game their own ground is only 3 stops away on the train. No reason other than the FA don't give a toss about Northen fans that the game is not on Saturday, Wembley should not have been rebuilt Spain and Germany don't have a national stadium but travel arround the Club grounds which have much better atmospheres. Plenty of big grounds could host the FA cup semi and final. Northern fans will have to travel to semi final for years as the FA made such a bollocks of building the ground that until the extoresonant cost of it are paid off nothing will change.

Whatever reasons fans have for not buying a ticket poor communications can't be one of them. F**k sake if you wanted a ticket the details have been easily available.
And the club get slagged off on here for allsorts of nonsence but no booking fees and post included for online purchases saves us all about £4.
If we don't sell out then we are a joke and may get what we deserve.

I see that turd Mike Keegan has been reading this forum providing an 'exclusive' for the daily mail for the rag click bait trolls he panders too that we haven't sold 1500 tickets. Keep up the crap lazy journalism Mike you are a credit to the profession.

So we have sold 31500 then pretty good effort I reckon after European tour games and it being held on a Sunday just to make it a bit more difficult from Manchester.

Papers reporting City are on Sunday because the BBC had first crack at the semis and picked Chelsea-Spurs, so that game became the Sat afternoon game.

Once again, FANS not even a second thought in football.

I wonder how big the TV contract would be if fans didn't pack every ground for every game, and the TV games showed no passionate fans and empty stadiums every week. TV is important, but sooner or later, common sense will have to return to the game.

 

[machine9]

if we get thru and got the same allocation it would of been sold out weeks ago.we just don't have the "day tripper fan base " , although it feels like it at some home champs league games.

Or put in another - but similar way - the less they care about fans, the less fans will care about the game. This is already happening.

But it's Saturday evening. I don't see why that's preferable to Sunday afternoon. For me, having to do the journey the other way round, home games on the late Saturday slot are my least favourite bar Monday nights.
