[Albion] City really struggling to sell tickets?

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

TBF, if we had been to Wembley 13 times in less than 5 years I doubt we would be selling out either

The irony is that they took around 60,000 fans to the League One play-off final against Gillingham exactly 20 years ago next month. They really were shite back then losing to clubs like York City and being held by sides like Chesterfield, Walsall and Wrexham.

Then in the P.O final, 2-0 down to Gillingham on 90 minutes, two injury time goals (one from Paul Dickov) and now Nicky Weaver has always been a cult hero for saving penalties in the shoot-out. They've never looked back since on the pitch........

I guess we were really in the doldrums as well in League Two and had just finished playing at Pissfield, Gillingham. Micky Adams, Bobby Zamora and Withdean then improved things hugely.

More like 40,000, but those were the days when Wembley was a novelty for them after years in the doldrums.

They are probably the only PL club I hear regularly hawking tickets to games at the Etihad with ads on national radio.

Its called the emptihad

 

[NooBHA]

So do Charlton

I thought the other poster was referring to only PL Clubs

 

[The Optimist]

Have we sold out Chelsea yet?

No, still approx. 250 tickets left.

It's expensive and hardly a novelty for them playing at Wembley. If I had to choose between another trip to Wembley or Spurs in the CL, I know which one I'd choose. They could still get through to the next round of the CL and there is a remote chance of a return to Wembley for the FA Cup final.

But only 3000 Man City fans will get to Spurs new stadium for the CL game whereas 33,000 could see their team at Wembley in a semi-final.

Whilst their owners are very wealthy that doesn't follow with all supporters and limits have to be placed on the games that they can afford to attend..

No, still approx. 250 tickets left.

I know, I was making the point that some are banging on about City not selling out for a semi final and we, after all the complaints about loyalty points, haven't sold our allocation for a big 6 london game!!!

Looks like they're only interested in the trophy games. Their fans are confident that loads of (Amex) fans will be reselling them tickets for their title parade match in May.

"Yeah but if brighton are out and secure safety before that game, they are less likely to play out of their skins to cement a place in the team for the final.
Plus brighton fans will more like be willing to flog blues tickets if it is a title winning game as if the past is anything to go by in that scenario brighton will be full of blues without them."

Barber licking his lips about the financial implication of that

To be fair, we are not exactly the biggest draw and Manchester is a pain to get back to after a stupid ko time

They have massive phones up north.

It’s Dom Joly’s...

The half-and-half scarf sellers are going to have a field day on Sunday 12 May, as Albion fans pay homage to the miracle of ManC’s title.

I hope that the H&H scarf I procure on Saturday will suffice for the league game too....
