Here it is: https://thefsa.org.uk/news/the-price-of-change-new-fa-cup-rule-stings-home-and-away-fans/ I didn’t realise Man Utd season ticket holders are obliged to buy cup tickets whether they attend or not. Hope we don’t ever impose such a rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Easy to buy tickets - parking at the Gate though, need it and you are in trouble! If Customer service don’t spark soon I’ll be looking for refunds! Over an hour wasted yesterday and again today! totally ridiculous- FLO time to kick some butt!

bcfc01 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just had a quick look at the ticket availability and I've never seen such a low level of sales - just 9 seats sold in upper E34 (old A Block) for instance. Not sure of the total sold but the ground will look empty. I'm not sure if Covid is having a big impact or if its the high ticket costs, and it was obvious that this game wouldn't attract a big crowd, but I didn't realise the ticket sales would be so low.

Just after Xmas, covid, team in our own league we`re likely to lose to, straight off the back of three home games and Cardiff at home in a couple of weeks, play them again next week, high ticket prices, crap weather forecast. The perfect storm really - I`m surprised the club didn`t spot it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected around 8k-10k, but I think it will be more like 5k-6k maybe. Unless Fulham bring 4k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, with POTD you'll have to queue up at the ticket office. I've seen a late rush cause hundreds to miss kick off with a sub 10k crowd before.

NcnsBcfc Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just heard that so far City have sold only 3900 tickets, with Fulham just under 400. I think it's fair to say that City has got this badly wrong.I know of loads of fellow ST'S that like me aren't going. Adult tickets around the £10-12 mark would have at least guaranteed a crowd of around 15k, and the subsequent takings in the concourse. I really hoped the days of poor decisions like this were behind us. This is a reminder that we still have some way to go. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Nige was talking about the team news for the Fulham game and has just confirmed Tanner will be out long term, a couple months at least so say. Big blown for GT and leaves us pretty light at back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hoped the days of poor decisions like this were behind us. This is a reminder that we still have some way to go. I think we'd have got around the 12-13k mark with decent pricing but you never know? There were so many red flags for this game as someone mentioned above. 2 home games in 4 days, playing a team in our own division, who we are playing again a week after, early kick, covid etc. I just can't see how the club didn't spot these red flags? Or maybe they just don't care? It seemed we'd sorted the cup prices a few years ago when it was about the £10-12 mark on our league cup run against Premier League teams like Stoke, Palace etc but now we've seemed to just double the price at the drop of a hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. At £23 for my ticket none of the lads I go with are going. I can only think the club rely on a certain level of turn out, then judge it against how many would turn up at the lower price. Average of £20 a ticket, they think at least 8,000 will go = £160,000 Halve that to £10 and the have to sell 16k , which after everything else would be expecting a lot. Those Cup games Vs Prem sides are easier to sell, the reduced price might tempt the one not sure. Fulham , without all the reasons you mention not to go, would not be a big Gate anyway. TBH , I doubt I'd be tempted if it was £10. After the 2 years the Club has had, I imagine they are trying to get as much money coming in as possible.

AppyDAZE Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm just hoping for a strong line up and a real desire to win. We ain't going up and we ain't going down. Can't imagine Fulham are too fussed about a cup run, in their league position. It's the sort of game we can get through, so go for it. You can probably guess I am going :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i can see that but surely the more people you get in the ground the more people spend money in the ground? Especially those pesky kids with their "Dad can i have this, Dad can i have that?" Like i said the other day, it's not only the £60 odd ticket money the club will lose from me not going. It's the £30/40 i'd spend in the concourse too! I guess the club are damned if they do, damned if they don't?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Pearson interview ahead of the game. He doesn't say much more than you'd expect him to. League is the priority. If he could pick a game to win, he'd pick the league game (I'd guess that's what most fans would say). Players who haven't played much may get opportunities in this game. Fulham are good. Tanner is out for 2 months, maybe more. Pring is now a full first team player, and is considered as such. Defence is about the hole team rather than just the back 4 or 5. We're conceding too many goals. Can't improve everything at once and we'll work hard on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
