Well they can fuck that one off. Why oh why??

Was going to try for tickets for me and my eldest, but they can fuck off at that time on a Sunday. She’d have to miss school the next day.

And no doubt no late trains?

It's not going to be a sell out then.

I took a peek, looks like there is a train just before 22:00 back piccadilly

Personally I am fortunate as I live about 40 min drive from Wembley, or just over an hour by train.

Even if City fans don't travel down it will sell out.

Community shield vs rags last August, the amount of tourists was off the charts.

Sat next to a guy and his 8yr old on the tube who had flown in from Oslo. Came back to seats for second half and a bunch of orientals decided to move to our seats, not a word of english between them! Atmosphere was like a library at the City end, even behind the goal where it's normally the loudest.

Aren't Charity Shield tickets distributed differently, though? I thought a lot are dished out to British Legion, etc., and then sold via third-party retailers, but allocated to the different fan areas, rather than a 'neutral' section. Then again, from a quick Google, it seems the club only gets around 2.5K less tickets for the CS than the FAC semi...

I've been able to get tickets for recent semi finals. It's the final itself that is very difficult.

Lots of empty seats at last years semi

Anyone going to this?

.yep definitely. Apart from the occasional chance at the Etihad, i know if City reach the final i will have no chance. My family, all season ticket holders for decades, just about manage final tickets.
