Initially, yes, but Bristol City wouldn't have sold out more than 40,000, so we'd have got some more anyway.
We don't want a small team like Palace getting through and there being thousands of empty seats as happened when Blackpool got through last, leaving many West Ham fans ticketless.
There...
Seriously, if Cup Final tickets are split in line with the home attendances of the competing clubs, why do small clubs in playoff finals get the same number of tickets as the bigger teams? It doesn't make sense.
It's disappointing that Playoff final tickets seem to be equally distributed.
I'm not sure why a team with a small supporter base such as Palace should get the same number of tickets as a club that is well supported like the Albion.
