. That's more than I thought. Anyone like to hazard a guess as to how many tomorrow ?
Tuesday 9,000. My glass is half full.

See, 15,000. Panic over.

I still think pretty much everyone who wants a ticket will get one.

Still another 25,000 available.

totally disagree, I run a lads football team I know who are the Cov fans an d who are chlesea arsenal etc.., they are talking about going to the game will be their first time at a Cov game and probably their last time as unlikely to ever play arsenal in the near future. A lot of my family went to Gillingham and haven#'t been to the Ricoh since, to many this isd a day out a bit like going to a tourist attraction, loads of kids will be going and will never grace the Ricoh with their presence afterwards, its Wembley its London and its cheap roll up roll up for the show get your half and half scarf for the big day

We will have to wait and see then.

Do you not think we are on at 2.30 because there will be a Premier game on at 4 on Sky? More than likely WILL be Chelsea, or Arsenal, or Spurs etc.

I can see us selling 30,000 easy enough and probably 35,000+.

I remain unconvinced though that it will be as much as 40,000.

Been quite a few people on here saying they don't even care for this cup competition one single jot and that they will not be buying a ticket.

Also there are still NOPMers who won't go either.

Guess we will all know soon enough won't we.

On the 1st April (games still to be moved or chosen by Sky), Arsenal play Man City and Liverpool play Everton.

Highly likely one of those, if not both, will be on, on the Sunday of our final.

Personally, I don't think it will make general sale given the amount eligible for the next phase. But like you say, we'll know soon, so a pointless discussion really!

Why I am concerned that I will miss out is the price, too cheap, especially for kids £10 expect there will be 1,000s where this is their first and possibly only game watching Cov. ST holders being giveen 6 tickets rewards loyalty but there are many fans who pick and choose and go to a lot of away games, the matchday packages will sweep up the rest but there will be many disappointed here also. There will be no general sale.

I'm not sure who will bring the most Luton or Oxford, tend to think Luton will but wouldn't fancy being in the away end miss the whole experience of cheering your team on at Wembley.

Got to admit they've sold a lot quicker than I expected. Be interesting to know what % of those eligible to buy in the first priority period have already booked.

So perhaps about half ST holders claimed their six tickets today ?
I reckon we'll sell them all eventually and maybe even ask for a few more.

I think more than half of season ticket holders have, everyone I know who has one has bought some today. I can see ticket sales slowing maybe 5k tomorrow then quiet a slow period before jsb and match package fans on the 6th.

Literally everyone I've met in the local area with a slight interest in either football or CCFC has said they want to go.

It'll very quickly become the thing to do. I'd honesty be surprised if any make it to general sale.

That's what kids do, when I was 10/11 Burnley were my favourites always in the top three of the top division.
Who knows what would have happened if Jimmy Hill hadn't come along

wembley bottom tier holds 34000
if we have half that is 17000
only 600 are left

There are only 135 left in the middle tier
we have sold around 200 in the top tier

this means around 19500 sold so far and around 20000 left

Come on, for many kids this will be an amazing experience. Nothing wrong with a tenner, the Wembley experience could pull kids back from being Chelsea/man city fans.

I'm not so sure.

I hope so though. Until I have the tickets in my hand, I'm not getting too excited :/

Not so sure. The middle tier you speak of above, is actually the back part of the lower tier. The real middle tier is Club Wembley and is not available. Not sold 21K yet, more like 17-18.

Do you think a Wembley experience will compare favourably to a quarter full Ricoh at home to Mansfield next season, I doubt we will create any new fans from the experience and these newbies will be taking a seat from fans that have a deeper and longer connection with the club

And that's the thing isn't it, we got about 8,500 on Saturday. Where are all these fans with a deep connection to the club? A good amount will have been complaining that it's been broken by sisu.

If 19,000 have been sold at least 10,500 with tickets weren't there but how many of the 3,000 non ST holders that were there have a ticket, hopefully all of them but they may be joining the scramble in a few weeks

Keep calm, every one that wants one will get one, Wembley holds nearly hundred thousand . The gate will only be 80,000 tops
