[Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

[Berty23]

If I can get tickets then I shall have a tricky time trying to get to the ground I expect. I live a ten minute walk from a chiltern railway line in Warwick. Just over an hour down to Wembley. The problem is that the train will be full of people who got on at Birmingham so not sure we will be able to get on! Fulham would have made it much easier on that line. Annoying.

Are Man Utd playing in the Europa League on Thursday?

Yes they are, away to Sevilla 2nd leg of Q/F.

Europa League games get moved all the time. They don't have to be Thursday

 

[Peter Grummit]

My youngest had lost his keys in the Palace mayhem and went into West Stand reception to collect them yesterday after the match. There was a huge roar from the Home dressing room when the draw was announced!

trains look fun that weekend

 

[Weststander]

For the final a decent proportion go to grassroots and people working for local FAs

Who then sell their tickets to touts.

 

[Weststander]

I wonder if the two Manchester clubs will save money and use the same aircraft, same coach and same hotel together. I love to be in the bar when the punch up starts.

Goofy Fernandes would pull someone’s hair, then hide.

Especially with a Brighton and District Golf competition being played, the Europa League game may need to be moved.

Get an early train up to Brum first and get on there?

Do they!? I don't think I've ever seen a europa league game moved. It's the domestic games that get moved if a clash

Anyone know what the ticket price bands are likely to be based on last years semi finals (plus obligatory inflation and price gouging)?

I think I will probably just drive to the end of the underground network and use that. Might not even get a ticket because I don’t have that many points. Tuesday night in stokes should have been 800.

I know it’s hard to say but what level do we think this will sell out? My dad stopped his season ticket this season but is a plus member, I’m assuming he’ll be ok….?

Yep. c25,000 STHs, including 1901ers, mean members will get a chance to buy too.

In 2019, this essentially got to "anyone can buy" stage. The following email was sent by the club...

"The last remaining tickets for Albion’s Emirates FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City will go on general sale at 11am today (Wednesday 3rd April), with two tickets available per person. The map below shows the remaining ticket availability for this historic fixture."​

​

Take-up is quite difficult to call. There might be some people who think "I did a Wembley semi in 2019 - I'll wait to see if we reach the final this time", and it's also an expensive day out, so some may feel like they can't justify the money right now. On the other hand, the club's profile has never been higher and our support base will likely have grown to reflect that.

Regardless, members will have a chance. I suspect a fair few STHs will be waiting so they can buy tickets with non-STH friends and family with lower priority.

Anyone with a purchase history who wants a ticket will get one, imo.

Just over 33,000 ticket allocation IIRC so 8,000 left if every season ticket holder gets one. They’ll be a small but meaningful percentage who can’t go for whatever reason (holiday, weddings, birthdays, work) so you’re looking at around 10k at worse.

We don’t have 10,000 MyAlbion+ members surely?

Are Man Utd playing on Thursday then ?

No, There's an international break now
