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

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered.

When can we buy additional tickets for non season and non Albion + members. Does it make a difference as to when if we are Tier one for personal ticket purchases?

I’ve just had a tot-up. We had sold 7364 in the first 2 hours 20 minutes.

At that point there were still 26636 for sale.

I think there is still 26k left and 5k went before STH 1 even had a chance to buy - must be club insiders?

I know someone who works at Lancing and she was able to buy a fair few tickets in the last few days.

Impossible. The cut off as @spoonie says was 3000 people in Tier 1 and many of those are waiting, including me.

That might be a total number sold altogether which would include Club Wembley tickets which have been on sale for a long time and club allocations / comps but you shouldn't take it off the 34k.

I’m simply saying there are 26636 left on the club website, that’s fact.

Where do you get that total from?

 

[seagullwedgee]

By going through all the available sections on the ticketing website, and adding up the remaining available tickets to get a grand total.

There's some funny business going on. Look, for example, at block 537. Only has 158 left and the very worst seats are block booked out. Row 14 back is totally unavailable and every other row is also blocked out. There's no way that people have systematically booked some of the worst seats in the whole ground en masse. They're either not going to be released until the guest window or are being used as comps or for Japanese tourist parties.

The idea that over 7000 have bought tickets when nowhere near that number have over 245 points is just wrong.

But the total available for sale at 4.24pm was 26636.

Yep, that is strange!

"Restricted view seats are priced at £10 less than full view seats, and will only be available when all other seats have sold out."

That is classic!!

Cheers, had forgotten that.

 

[Titanic]

Cheers, had forgotten that.

but it doesn't explain the weird goings on in Block 537

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

128 section for me. Same as for Man City in 2019 but higher up this time. It’s a similar angle to my North West Stand ST. Creature of habit.

It does if everyone has a flag again - you need a clear row in front of you to get an unrestricted view!

More seriously - I wish that us lot lower down the food chain could actually see the seats remaining and the blocks like you can - it would give us an idea ourselves of how many are likely to be going in the areas we'd like to be, and can prepare ourselves before it opens. But this is only visible when you can actually buy - which means a mad look around the various blocks at 9.01am.....

Last time 537 was reserved for purchase by academy players’ families.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Block 127 for my son and I. I'll probably aim for the same seats in the final

 

[HCxUK]

unlikely as only around 3000 were able to buy in Priority one

Not sure this is the case - Spurs & Chelsea away priority one (which is normally the 3k with the highest amount of STH points) was 276 points and that was back in February.

Priority one was around 245 points for this - so I think we can assume 5/6k were in priority one.

Probably 6k? 24kish STHs divided into four groups of roughly 6k

 

[Seaview Seagull]

Given I am normally in tier 2 for away games and tier one for this, there are far more than 3000 in tier one.
