ChippenhamRed Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) Decent prices, but I'm confused about how much members have to pay!

However when you consider it in the context that we charged their fans a tenner then it's incredibly poor. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobImps Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Thought the rules were 15% of total capacity up to a max of 9k? We should be closer to 4.5k Also needs addressing why were being hit for £17 when they had it as a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we ask for 4.5k tickets and only sell 3k then City still need to pay for the 1.5k tickets that are not sold. Yes thats really annoyed me.

A Forest fan in one of the group chats I’m in seems to think this is a SAG/police decision. 2800 was all Blackpool were offered in round 3 as well.

See below On 27/01/2024 at 22:28, phantom said: How are away end allocations calculated in the FA Cup? The calculation is quite simple in the FA Cup. Prior to the semi-final and final, which are played at Wembley, visiting clubs are allowed up to 15 per cent of all tickets for the stadium they are playing at. That is unless 15 per cent of the stadium exceeds 9,000. So clubs travelling to Old Trafford, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the London Stadium and the Emirates Stadium will have their allocations capped at 9,000, unless the home clubs are willing to offer more. Despite the calculation seeming quite simple, there are still a few stipulations. The visiting club must make a request for the amount of tickets they would like for their fans within four days of the draw. More often than not, teams will request the full 15 per cent but, in some scenarios, they will take fewer tickets than they are allowed. In the instance that not all away tickets are sold by the visiting club, the remaining tickets must be returned to the home club on or (preferably) before the day of the match. The tickets in the away end are not the only ones that are accessible to the visiting club. They are also entitled to a third of seats usually reserved and known as “home and visiting directors’ seats” up to a maximum of 24 seats. The disabled facilities must also be separated. The visiting club have the right to claim 15 per cent of those seats as well. Visiting clubs will not always be guaranteed 15 per cent of the seats throughout the stadium, though. The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) must also agree to the away allocation that has been proposed. The SAG is made up of representatives of services including the police, fire, ambulance and building authority. For fixtures that pose risks to health and safety, they can choose to decrease allocations for visiting clubs TAKEN FROM : https://theathletic.com/4071358/2023/01/09/fa-cup-away-end-allocations-calculated/ 33 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: Basically City have to pay for all the tickets for whatever allocation we have.

REDOXO Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Typically extra tickets can be asked for, if demand is there. Does this not apply in this case? I note Blackpool had the same limited allocation. The fact it appears NF are not reciprocating prices is a very poor show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I can't believe some on here think it won't sell out, @scrumpy88 even suggesting as few as 1,500.

If we had drawn Luton, Plymouth, Leeds etc we probably would have struggled to sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a winnable game, but we've played them in recent years and they aren't an attractive Premier League side. I personally cannot go, even without extra time and traffic I don't see I would be getting home before 1am. I got to be at work at 6am, no chance of getting time off or swopping shifts as the rotas have been published and so set in stone as such. I can't be the only one working the next day in a job where there is no hiding or easy days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be amazed if it even makes members sale, I’m not expecting to be able to get a ticket. I assume the bit about selling tickets re allocation is true though as Liverpool got 4000 2 years ago so it’s not a logistical issue in the ground (albeit they had to move st holders to accommodate them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you eat or drink when you don’t go to a away game? 8 hours out of your day. It’s called leisure time, you charge yourself for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
