STH have until Monday to get their tickets. I only bought mine this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I’d be amazed if it didn’t sell out. Although I do think this game is marginally less appealing than the last round, because there’s that niggly worry that we could be 5-0 down before we begin. And City for all their current brilliance are still not the iconic club that United are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Got my away ticket but will wait to see the result before buying a home one. I expect a few others are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you're waiting to find out then as tickets won't last that long, they'll all go as soon as it makes general sale, if it even makes it to that point.

Best away game I ever went to Super Bob. Nottingham town centre was lively prematch also! When that Mardon goal went in, the place just erupted!

RedM Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I really can’t work out what we are doing with tickets. It drops below 500 only for anything up to 1000 to be added again. Currently 1491 available, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my thinking as a home semi final is what dreams are made off! I'm really struggling to believe many people are taking that chance. The United game sold out before general sale and there would be two days of general sale before the first leg result is known, if it even makes it that far. Anyone taking that chance is mad in my opinion. A club that takes 45k to watch us play Walsall will have plenty waiting in the wings to snap up those seats.

I agree with you 100% but I know of friends of mine like me season ticket holders for years who still haven't got their home man city tickets sorted yet for various reasons. Very odd.

Not only that...but its been a hectic week for many, so purchasing football tickets may not be top of the agenda so far. Im struggling to afford tickets for this one, and I dont have kids!

Loosey Boy Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Home & Away tickets sorted.......can't wait - be proud to see City in the Semi Final in both legs, regardless of the score(s). ;-) Yoo reddsssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I get the point about cost as I’ve spent over £200 for mine and the kids tickets for both the City & United ties which were totally unbudgeted for but these games only come round once in a generation for clubs like us. Look how we’re all reminiscing about the Forest semis! (Ooh er). Perhaps I’m fortunate enough that I can find the money for them. Although it’s a lot to fork out for so close to Christmas there’s no way I could let the kids miss this after all the shit they’ve been served up over the last couple of seasons! In 10-15 years time they can tell their kids they were there when Man City put 10 past us in 2 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
