Pedantic pallet? You might want to reword this as well.
Thanks auto predict....
[MENTION=15277]kingcole[/MENTION] has eluded to c5k of tickets not released and presumably kept back by the club for club staff friends and family, or maybe club partners...

And has also suggested that some of those have since been released in the sales that have occurred so far

The club will obviously dishing out/selling tickets to their commercial partners but I’m not convinced they were withholding 15% of the tickets for this.

Do tickets off StubHub generally go down closer to the date?
Surely people aren't paying £200-800 for a fa cup semi final.

Where are you looking.
As I thought they would, they seem to be going down - seeing them at 110 Euros now, down from around 150 when the teams for the Saturday fixture became known.

Yep. Just picked up on that. Guess their lists are also going down as people confirm they can’t attend etc.

Probably not, but I guess they could hold back more than the number they need in order to allow people to have a reasonable choice in each area. As these people make their choice of preferred view etc, the excess could then be released to the peasants.

Ah..... was it ever totally a ' working mans ' game.
More so in the industrialised North and Midlands but down South it flourished in the public schools, with Old Etonians being one of the most successful sides. The legendary Corinthians and the Casuals were made up of well-heeled amateurs. Their support base was also largely middle and upper class.
Touts and agencies have always found a market ( they were out and about at Millwall ) and fans, desperate to see their team in big matches are more than willing to pay over the odds. I know a West Ham fan who paid £1200 for two tickets for a play-off final at Cardiff and that was a few years ago now. Ashamedly, in the early seventies, when I was quite young, I acquired two tickets for the Chelsea v Stoke League Cup Final at Wembley. I went to Wembley early, flogged them to two Stoke fans ( cost approx £2.50 each...sold for approx £7 each ) Then went to White Hart Lane, watched Tottenham v Man Utd and returned home with a healthy profit.

Hence the term "soccer" (association football) coined by the posh boys to differentiate it from "rugger" (rugby football)

Aye lad you speak well but truth be told football is very much part of the working class experience.The fact the the Old Etonians are not in the EPL reflects that those southern clubs largely fell by the wayside.You should not be overly ashamed of your history as a tout. If you believe in the free enterprise economy, ticket touts are the embodiment of the capitalst society ie supply/demand.

More details announced but headlines are:
£10 for pre or post match
£15 all day
Tickets on sale Wednesday to 1000 fans starting at >298 points and down to all STH by 4pm 28th.
Happy to say I was wrong and that this is a good number of general spaces at ‘reasonable’ cost.

Haven't checked to see if this has already been posted, so apologies if it has: Supporter Services have confirmed that colours are prohibited in the 200 series blocks; ie they are considered CW tickets. [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] (and others unknown)
Thanks. Shame.
As IF you were going to eschew your fitted man-about-town wardrobe, in favour of a baggy nylon football shirt, anyway!

Noooo!!!
That's a total disaster!! Do you have a link to the Supporter Services' confirmation please G76?
Seems particularly harsh given that the two sets of fans will be seated in segregated areas specific to each club. Equally crap is the fact that fans in the 200 blocks can't take in scarves or flags...to the FA Cup SF FFS!
Sadly, looking at the CW website https://clubwembley.wembleystadium.com/ClubWembley/Dress-Code it states
A quick guide to the dress code for Club Wembley.
DRESS CODE
There is no strict dress code within Club Wembley, the One Twenty Club and the Bobby Moore Club, with the exception of replica club colours, please read on.
REPLICA CLUB COLOURS
To help make your event day a safe and enjoyable occasion for all we would like to remind you and your guests that replica club colours are not permitted for club matches. The only exception to this is for some Sky Bet Play-Off Finals, where segregation is in place and you have a team specific ticket. If you have any specific queries, please call us on 0800 783 1442.
The Club Wembley, One Twenty Club and Bobby Moore Club areas are unsegregated. We receive special dispensation from the authorities for this because our Club Wembley members have agreed to adopt behaviour appropriate for an unsegregated area through the Club Wembley Licence Agreement.
Club colours are now not permitted within any Club Wembley, One Twenty Club and Bobby Moore Club areas, including the following items:
• Replica clubs shirts
• Scarves in club colours and/or branding
• Hats in club colours and/or branding
• Flags in club colours and/or branding
• Foam hands in club colours and/or branding
• Any clothing item with club brand on it
• Bags with club brand on them
• Face paint indicating an association to one team
• Badges and lanyards with club brand on them
Replica colours MAY NOT be worn at the following:
The FA Cup Semi Finals & Final
The League Cup Final
The FA Community Shield
Replica colours may be worn in some sections at the following (please call us on 0800 783 1442 for specific information):
The Sky Bet Play-Off Finals - Club Colours cannot be worn in Level One Diamond Hospitality. If your ticket is located in Level Two (i.e. block 211 etc) then club colours are fine.
Replica colours MAY be worn at the following:
England Internationals
NFL International Series games
The Rugby League Challenge Cup Final
Following consultation with event organisers, the Licensing Authority and the Police, this prohibition will be strictly enforced and, should replica club colours be worn, you/your guests may be refused entry or be removed from the Stadium for safety in line with condition 10(e) of your Club Wembley Licence Agreement.
