Man City 2-1 Saints - Match Thread
Football Special replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
Same for me, went unused so often I often went to England games or semi finals on them, typically company got rid of them end of last season. I went to the Man City v Forest semi last year (club Wembley block 241) , were loads left empty around there. I think it does spoil the big game occasion if there's 20,000+ empty seats -

As things stand 33,250 saints, 21,000 City , plus club Wembley corporate (which is roughly 60% of middle tier about 7000, companies that own those seats dont always use them) So as things stand 61,000 attendance -

Away games yes we all stand. Play off final most of the upper was sat especially on sides -

Should be easy , 33,250 was stated as initial allocation. Last season with semi finalists were just given 36,500 up front Have a plan in place if a team sells the tickets then put then implement that plan rather than miss out on potential selling days -

The whole ticket process is so inefficient, Saints posting on social media channels saying allocation sold out, surely they'd planned for this scenario and should have had the extra tickets ready to go this morning -

https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/emirates-fa-cup-semi-final-initial-allocation-sold-out Although we have now sold out, fans are reminded that this is our initial ticket allocation, and therefore we may receive further tickets from the FA. If additional tickets become available, they will be uploaded for purchase, so supporters are encouraged to keep an eye on our website for the latest updates. -

Since Wednesday any Manchester City season ticket holder or member has been able to buy up to 3 tickets each. And they have loads left. No risk of them buying in our end, just give us loads more tickets and put both ends on general sale , at least would get close to a full ground then -

I'd expect any extra to be upper tier central so £70 / £45 seats. I know Man City wont care but both clubs get 40% of gate receipts so its in their interests as well to have a bigger crowd -

I think its quite likely, semi finalists last year were given 36,230 , this year they gave both teams an "initial" 33,250 so they've left room for at least another 3000 and maybe even more -

Problem is the additional services from Southampton Central not stopping anywhere so not sure split ticket works, best bet is railcard or Group Save for 3 or more people Below is from Southampton Central FA Cup - ADDITIONAL TRAINS The following additional services to London Waterloo will operate: DEP 0825 ARR 1023 DEP 0844 ARR 1044 DEP 0925 ARR 1122 DEP 0943 ARR 1144 DEP 1025 ARR 1225 DEP 1044 ARR 1244 DEP 1125 ARR 1326 DEP 1144 ARR 1343 All services are direct calling at Waterloo only. A queuing system will be place to manage the amount that of customers on the platform. There will also be additional services returning to Southampton starting at 2039 and the last being 2320. -

Yeah I make it about that, hope they add some more blocks in the morning SWR have announced quite a few extra trains for Semi final day so all looking good for the travelling fans. -

Yeah more tiers with shorter buying windows would make sense, having said that I've got a feeling if we shift all these tickets quickly we should be given more tickets, potentially quite a few more as Man City no opened lots of upper tier so let's get them on sale to anyone and see how we get on now. Being digital tickets suppose no worries about post they can leave tickets on sale to match day like we do for home games , let's make it a home match -

I can't be sure but think all of the 33,250 has been on sale now unless there's more blocks to open. Good effort from our fans so far I'd say, hope we are given more and well outnumber City. Make it feel like a home game -

Loads like that I think, I just bought 9, 5 season ticket holders and 4 members, if sales continue like they are most of the 33k will be gone today , impressive, hopefully club can confirm extra allocation if that happens -

Yep still plenty of that but ticket sales look incredibly strong this morning, most of the upper tier full allocation now on sale and selling well. Man City have their allocation on sale to all season ticket holders and members who can buy 3 tickets EACH , they've sold roughly 20k so far -

Yeah half the upper tier hasnt been on sale, I was wondering if the safe standing back half upper behind goal will have a good atmosphere as its cheapest tickets and standing, but negative being so far away from the action. Loads of tickets will go tomorrow morning to members, we have enough season ticket holders and members to sell the 33,250 allocation so will be interesting to see how many are left tomorrow night. I'm told we can have more tickets but not sure what cut off point is to request them, sooner we sell initial allocation the better -

I think there's more level 2 to go on sale as well, they've sold the £150 premium level 2 but not put the £120 standard level 2 on yet which is club Wembley level more behind the goal -
Its still highly improbable, we need to win every game and Ipswich need to lose two, plus that goal difference helps them Millwall to overtake as well
