[Albion] Tickets Remaining for FA Cup Semi Final ***About 200 LEFT ON SALE***

[kingcole]

My thoughts are swinging back to ‘we will sell out after all’

Been a great few hours.........

The wait time has just gone from 38 minutes to 17 in a very short space of time.

That will be people with multiple devices. Queue moves unnaturally quickly as a result.

Many on their forum also think that the lower tier is too shallow and that the best views are from the front of the upper tier.

Frankly, having been in both the upper and lower tier loads of times for England games I'd say that's nonsense. Half way or further back in the lower tier outstrips almost all of the upper tier. Maybe the front few seats are okay of the upper tier, but after that you're miles away. I'd also say you feel very removed from the pitch and the atmosphere in the upper tier. Lower tier will have a decent view if you're in the back half and a much better atmosphere in my experience.

Suspect it's the cost decision for most Man City fans who lets face it with have much better/bigger games to splash their cash on than this one.

Just a quick question. I got my 2 tickets fine but then got a call from my dad who couldn't get on so picked up 6 for his group. This puts me on a total of 8 purchased. will I still be able to buy an additional 4 when they open up for STH guests next week?

I think yes. you are allowed 10 to start with (for qualifying STH) and then you get the guest tickets next week

Don’t forget about 5000 were held back initially. Whether these have been sold elsewhere or if some have been drip fed back we don’t know. A good number shifted already today tho

Was there!?

I suppose they could be player friends & family, staff ect.. But 5000 sounds far too many for that.

Its all about preference isn't it but the lower tier is very shallow which doesn't make for a good view. The front of the upper is the best and City fans have been to Wembley a lot recently so their fans no this.

Who gets the ticket revenue for Wembley Cup games - is it the FA/owner of the stadium, or the clubs?

The small print on the website says that a £2.50 surcharge is added to each order. Is this to fulfill the printing and dispatching of all those tickets (presumably from an external company). This is not the case with any other Albion fixture, so maybe the ticket fees are taken up by the FA.

65% to be divided equally between the four Clubs. 10% to the Pool.

Scousers get a 10% cut even though they've been knocked been out. I blame the unions.

Excuse my ignorance, what is 10% to The Pool?

 

[doogie004]

Same approach for us - have calculated view + atmosphere + value and gone for front of 546

Same front of 550

Surely there must have been a chunk held back, otherwise we’ve sold 20k by 3.30pm on Friday which seems an incredible number and means that most season ticket holders have already purchased their ticket? That doesn’t seem to be the vibe on NSC

I’m sure there’s a reason that the club don’t advertise numbers in their points categories or how many they have put on general sale or held back etc - but would make life more stress free if they did! Number seems to be getting uncomfortably low for me given that there’s two more days of sales before I can get in there :
