Ticket Sales Criteria - Real Madrid and FA Cup Semi?

Concession prices are a minimal discount at Wembley but I notice juniors are Under 20s, which is unusual.
Differs as the FA can reflect club policy, Chelsea have under 12 and 13-19 teen categories, I expect ours to be different.
 
It's fair to say the club have made some controversial decisions on ticket sales criteria for some of the big games over the last year or so. The Champions League home semi was a free for all and lots missed out. We didn't sell out an FA Cup semi. Then we sold out a Charity shield.

There's two big ones comng up. What criteria do you think we should be offering? Here's my take:

Real Madrid -

1 day for Season Ticket Holders not on the CL Scheme
0.5 day Citizens who've attended 10 matches +
0.5 days Citizens whove attended 5 matches +
If any remain All Citizens.

FA Cup Semi

1 day Season Ticket holder on CL Scheme
1 day all Season Ticket Holders
After that all Citizens and also one extra ticket to all Season Ticket Holders.

What does everyone else think? I'm pretty convinced they'll make a mess of it by opening RM out to all citizens including new ones and then imposing too-strict criteria for Chelsea.
Why not use points after the S/T sales windows?

Seems a bit odd. Could have two people born on the same day buy tickets. One an adult. One a junior.

But the discount is so small anyway, it’s not really worth getting worked up about.

Yep - in 2011 we had under 16 and Stoke under 17.
 
Most weren't £30 in level 3 though, cup scheme was £25, none cup scheme and cityzen matchday members was £27.50. I'm fully on board with your argument for cheaper tickets but let's at least get the prices right we are arguing against.

Outside of the cup scheme. Within the 2000+ tickets left a week before the match all under 18 tickets were £30. A Parent/s either paid £30 so their kid/s could sit next to them on CBL3 or ESL3 or the kids wouldn’t go with their parents.

Just out of interest, is the under 18 age from 17 to how young the child is? For example, a 6 year old Child. (7, 8, 9….)

The only people who would have paid £30 were those getting extra tickets for people who weren't S/C holders or Matchday members.

Child is 0-17 if you want a seat, under 5s are free if they don't have a seat.

I know season ticket and citizen card holders tickets are cheaper. The ticket prices for kids, as we both agree on, are too high, especially if you take the age range into consideration, which has been conveniently shoehorned into under 18’s by the club.

Let’s see what the Real Madrid ticket prices are.
 
Cup schemers get 4 days to buy, then Season card holders 4 days with it dropping four thousand points a day
Day 5 all other season card holders
After that cityzens
 
I did..
If any Citizen managed to get all three of Liverpool, United and Arsenal at home this season, then I'd like to meet them.

I'd be tempted to disqualify any non-ST holder who managed to get to those three matches.

Don't forget SC...all our tickets for RM game have all ready been approved.
 
If they put the tickets on sale to Matchday Members with at least 5 previous games, we'll probably find that this sells out instantly as that's been the case for both United and Arsenal in the league.

The club need to start high with maybe 16 previous games, and gradually decrease it like they would do if it were an away game.
 
1) ST not on scheme
2) Members 4 Euro homes
3) Members 3 Euro homes
4) Members 1 or 2 Euro homes
5) Members who joined before draw.

That’s more a guess of what I think it might be, than what I would personally do.
Still can’t believe something like this wasn't implemented for the Madrid home game last season.
 
I don't personally agree with season ticket holders not on cup scheme getting first dibs over a member who's been to previous rounds of the champions league. It'll never change but always found it wrong

I can see the logic in that. But a long, long time before cup schemes were a thing, one of the selling points of a season ticket was that you were guaranteed a ticket for home cup ties. So I really can’t see that changing.
 
Is it just me but why are we likely to be selling Madrid at home tickets before putting Madrid away on sale which is 8 days earlier? If correct it really shows poor consideration for fans trying to book flights , hotels and travel to Spain!!

SC have been given there allocations for Madrid away...that usually mean the sales window for point holders isn't far behind. I would guess details out tomoz, sales Thursday??
