It's not poor mate, they're doing it the right way. Remember last year, think it was the Hamburg game when they put them on general sale, and how many complaints they got due to SC and City Card holders not getting a ticket? What they are actually doing is giving those who have been before a chance to see a semi final before all the wannabe's.
People are skint at this time a year and have set priorities, yet I would suggest there will be quite a few who pull the money together prior to the game and make it a sell-out. We are not yet a prawn munching club but mainly working class people who would do anything for a ticket. Long may it remain!!!
PS. That is no slight at you btw Diggerman.

By 'pretty poor' I meant from the fans not the club. 48000 seats - 30/35K season ticket holders, 6k away seats, surely theres 10k(give or take) fans on the loyalty schemes etc that could fill the seats before it gets down to 10points? Ten points is practically saying they're on open sale an this board was ripping The Scum for letting their tickets go on a first come first served open sale basis. I agree with people being skint and priorities etc, our first baby is due the week of the second leg but baked beans for the month will help it learn a few early and harsh lessons! As long as we sell out and make it a real hostile atmosphere, U*d shouldn't have enough to keep us from Wembley. I hope.

I agree...I think that is exactly what they are doing
And of course we are going to sell out!!

Yep, it's on Beeb 1 from 7:40 for a 7:45 kick off.
I understand what you are saying mate but some people simply can't afford £40 for a match. The club don't need the money so I don't understand why they are charging so much.IanBishopsHaircut wrote:Guy Debord wrote:£40 is too expensive.

£40 for our first semi in how long? Against the rags as well?
You're having a laugh mate...i'd pay double even if I was on the dole with 10 kids to feed

No, I'm serious, the date of our last semi and the opposition is irrelevant to the pricing policy.
£40 a game is too much for many fans and price hikes have changed the demographic at football grounds for the worse.

You`re gonna shit yourself when we get to Wembley then. The prices for these games have to be agreed between the clubs as well. I would imagine £40 was the lowest the theiving rags would allow.
