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

[Kalimantan Gull]

the hubris and pomposity shown by the club in pursuit of the membership shekel this late in the day is incredibly annoying.

I don't believe this is anything to do with selling memberships and far more about expanding our fan base. Sth's, members and purchase history are not new fans, they're existing ones. The new fans are the sth and members friends, and this is the group they've been pushing as much as they can. They have given loyal fans the opportunity to get tickets, but beyond they want new people there to grow our fan base. That's their remit so fair enough

With 73K through the turnstiles, Wembley can look pretty empty...

I remember Southampton didn't get anywhere near selling out

 

[Bry Nylon]

On the plus side, I am taking my 7-year old son to his first ever game; so if there are untaken seats in our block at least we may have the opportunity to move to other seats in case we get a couple of huge blokes sat in front of us.

I saw a tweet that said Portsmouth sold more in 1st day of sales (24,000) than Southampton took to FA Cup Semi final - also believe Chelsea struggled to sell out last season too so could be looking at about 73,000 again on Saturday with Man City's pathetic effort

 

[Billy the Fish]

Just looked on the City forum, someone said they'd sold 21500 so far. If that's the case it'll definitely be a sub 70k attendance. At least our end won't look too empty, especially in the lower tier.

 

[Barham's tash]

Some shenanigans going on suspect to force buyers into the sparsely populated areas as all of a sudden it’s now:

Upper: 695
Lower: 305
Club Wembley: 6
Total: 1,006

From 1642 just a couple of hours ago

Which blocks are family blocks

Because season ticket holders were allowed to buy 10 tickets, no tiers or points system in place. The only criteria was that anyone that had been to a Check-A-Trade match this season (approx. 2500 people) got the pick of the seats in the first two hours of them being available.

Our end is going to be spectacularly FULL. A 35K strong Blue & White Army.

Parts of the City end and the neutral areas will be a bit sparse by comparison.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Did Saints really only take 24k? And WHY?

 

[Alba Badger]

Looks like there are still over 1000 tickets left, 700x up in the gods back row cheap seats or about 300x £80 pitch side.

It's on the stadium map in the ticketing site:

 

[kingcole]

Looks like a productive few hours.

Currently 335 on the lower. All the £80 opposite the tunnel have gone now. Most the remaining ones are £80 tickets in blocks 142/143
6 in the middle tier
260 non family area in the upper and 423 in the family area

And because you could buy tickets for £20.

 

[amexer]

I Man city and us both have 33k each. Who has other 20/25k or will attendance be about 70k

Club Wembley is about 15k and remainder is for FA bum chums. We got an extra 1500 from this amount

 

[Simster]

Exactly.

Portsmouth fans absolutely jizzing their pants because they took 40k to a nothing match where tickets were about 50p each. Who'd have guessed that. Someone should point out that teams like Gillingham and Bristol Rovers have both taken over 40,000 to Wembley - Rovers did so fairly recently. If prices are low enough and there aren't internal politics at work, it's not all that special.

I don't know how many they took there but they sold their allocation - which is more than Chelsea did. Packed Saints end, huge gaps at the Chelsea end.

Not according to post #1200 on this thread.

I stand corrected. Yawning gaps there too!

I was really surprised when I saw it.
