I've got to say, I've had Junior Orange on the YS+ scheme for a couple of seasons now and it's been damn good value. Seagulls branded tins, keyrings, a bag, gloves, he's had a tour of the Amex, gotten a free shirt, and now he's going to Wembley with his Grandad and me. Well worth it.

According the City forum they have 10,000 tickets left.
We have 919 is the lower and 806 in the lower
I’m sure had we had demand (or rather had we not restricted demand) these would have already sold out and we could at the very least be asking the FA for the rest of the tickets in blocks 501 and 527. That’s before any thoughts regarding the 7 blocks City are yet to put on sale
It should be noted that despite the extra 1500 all tickets offered have been in our side of the ground.

Biggest waste of time playing at Wembley if it doesn't sell out, could have played it at Villa Park like the old days

There are several STH who have posted on this thread offering the opportunity to buy tickets using their unused +2's to people in your particular situation. I know, as I have taken advantage of one such offer myself this morning. So if you want to be at Wembley, you can and need not resign yourself to watching on TV. I don't know what the availability is like right now but this morning I had options ranging from £80 to £30. I have held back until all those more deserving than myself have had their fill, but now if you really want to be there, you can, no problem.
So, instead of us getting 33k tickets, we'd probably only have about 18k. Nice plan.

What in front of 36000 people
Thank you, [MENTION=15277]kingcole[/MENTION] kindly offered to use one of his +2s to get me a ticket, but unfortunately I have had to decline his kind offer as it would have meant a total of over 25 hours travelling to, attending and travelling home from the match and because of my crohns disease I would severely struggle with this.
I really do appreciate all of the kind offers and suggestions of help.

Don't look like the club are changing their stance on tickets any time soon: https://www.brightonandhovealbion.c...chelsea-swansea-and-fa-cup-semi-final-action/
Maybe with a release of some more upper tier (cheaper) seats they can climb down with some dignity. Some more cheaper seats may be needed as currently:
379 in the upper tier that are not in the family area.469 in the family area which is the only upper tier area that's not in restricted availability.
866 in the lower tier
At City, they have just released the lower tier blocks bang on the half way line opposite the tunnel (block 122). Our equivalent (block 123) has not been fully released.
They have also released another upper tier block (521) so that means there are now just 5 blocks in the upper tier that have not yet offered for sale (522 to 526). There are a lot of unsold seats in all these blocks.
Even if demand was there, I am not sure if we would get upper tier seats released in their end of the stadium, but there should be no reason we cannot get the rest of blocks 501 and 527 to sell which are in our end. Initially only around a quarter of these blocks were released. The remaining 3/4's of each of these blocks would be over 1500 extra tickets.
As it stands I think there will be more than enough seats but if the club would remove this daft membership requirement and send it to general sale, we would easily sell what we have left and be justified in asking for a few more.
If any non members wan to go and are digging in their heels regarding membership, options include Club Wembley at £99: https://www.boxofficeevents.com/package/376/manchester-city-vs-brighton-tickets
Or you can freely buy in the City end: https://tickets.mancity.com/en-GB/e...nd hove albion/2019-4-6_17.30/wembley?hallmap

It’s mental , my brother and a couple of his pals who’ve been following Brighton away games mostly since the 70s , have had to resign themselves to not getting a ticket via the sensible route and without any hassle at all got theirs in the City end ! I can’t quite get my head around the clubs stance on this one , I wonder how many more have done this today as I have to admit I’ve kept telling him just wait a bit longer , my bad .

Have they checked the thread of STH offering to allow such people to use their plus 2’s?

If they've been going that long they must know people that qualify for +2's.
Through putting the word about I've managed to get 9 seats in a row and another 3 close by in the upper tier. All you need is fan numbers of people not going or those that qualify for +2. It has been easy as you like.

He doesn’t use NSC , but tbh I didn’t see that either, done it now so is what it is , I’m sure they will have a good day out but just seems a shame that people will have to do it in the first place .

It’s is crazy. I fall into this bracket too, a lifelong fan and witnessed all the dramas for 40 years and then one season without a ST having had one since 1997 and bang, technically I can’t get a ticket. Fortunately I am to use friends to ensure I got ticket week before last but really I know lots of far more casual fans who’d go if didn’t need to first sign up to a membership scheme. Bit late now, people made plans so don’t think make much difference if went on general sale. Clubs made its money and they don’t care. We’ll have a rather tinpot 30 odd thousand when we could taken another 15 with a more relaxed approach by all concerned inc Wembley and FA. Shame, but such are the ways in modern ticketing. And A right pain in the arse it’s been to organise sitting with mates!!
The club has fully sold out its original ticket allocation of 33,466 seats, but with an additional allocation of tickets being issued to the club last week, around 1,500 tickets remain unsold.
Subject to availability, these will be available to supporters with a purchase history from 11am on Tuesday 2nd April.
