Let's face it, if and when tickets become available, for arguably our biggest game in "Donkeys Years" how much would you be prepared to pay ?
I have been at all of the previous semi finals during my lifetime, West Ham, Reading, Leeds and now Crewe.

I still don't get this "biggest game in years" twaddle......

...Our biggest game in years were those we lost in last seasons relegation battle....

.....Our games at the business end of this season will also be bigger than a single leg of a paint pot semi-final....

....for that reason, I'd pay no more than face value of a tenner.

Yeah, I agree with the above. I'm glad I'm going and it's hopefully going to be a laugh, but it's not the biggest game in years. So normal prices for me. No more than £35.

It really depends on how we do going into the game.

Please don't remind me about Reading. It finished about 11 and was an absolute nightmare.

cant make the away game so hoping it is on sky but i think we are competing against CL football. It is a big game but there will be a bigger scramble for wembley tickets IF we get through.

Not a bad list when you add Forest, I wonder where we would be now if we had managed to win those other semis ?

£70. It's a cup final, how often do you get to see one of those? Regardless of whether a relegation match is more important blah blah piss on the parade

Nothing over face value.

In fact I would rather touts who try and profit from true fans inability to get a ticket, get their fingers burned. You could argue it's supply and demand, but the same could be said of drug dealers. I never understand how they even manage to get hold of such supplies and if we refused to line their pockets then they woudln't exist.

I have been guilty of it in the past when I bought two tickets for £200ea for the last game at Wembley (v Germany) before it was rebuilt. It was raining and we lost! (to that long range Hamann goal) I said in future, if I couldn't get a ticket at face value, then I would rather watch it in the pub than pay inflated prices.

Face value for me as well. If we win the first leg 5-0 then how much would you pay for the away game then!!:claping hands:

I didn't bother with the scrum this morning, If I really want to get in I'll get in, at the moment I'm still hoping we'll have an unassailable lead from the home leg !!

Oh bore off.

What's with all these people this year trying to piss on our parade this year regarding cups etc.

I've seen lots of posts this year with people saying 'Who cares about the Arsenal/Spurs/Crewe game lets focus on the league'. Why can't we enjoy the cups, we've not had a lot to cheer about in a long time, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a good day out at a PL ground.

Get off your high horses!

I'm not pissing on anyones chips or riding a high horse......I guess I'm just a little more level headed than some eh?

Merely pointing out that a 2nd leg semi-final tie against Crewe in a tournament that none of us gave a flying fuck about last year.....or EVER before for that matter.....is not the biggest game in years.....

....but you feel free to wank yourself silly over it if you like.....

Making the point that nobody previously cared about a tournament that we took no part in is redundant. I'd be surprised if many people gave a flying fuck about the League One playoffs either.

Any trip to Wembley with Cov after all the years of shit that we've had to endure is well and truly wankable!!! Bring it on! (Wembley....not the wanking)

I wasn't that fussed about the Europa League but if we suddenly got into it I would soon be interested

On the mad assumption we got through and without tempting fate, what kind of price are Wembley tickets? The NFL game was from £35 up to £100+, but I hope that's just NFL price rather than Wembley standard.
