" WEMBLEY TICKETS "

.......... like the rest of us should get 1 ticket also!

In 100% agreement.

What a load of bollocks,I'm not a season ticket holder because I can't go to all the games. I've been to all the carling cup matches though,when only 6,000 odd turned up for the Huddersfield game. TOTAL BOLLOCKS

Same, I went to Hudders, Leicester and Blackburn.

Carl i have 5 season tickets up in the premier, it works out i pay alot more, but all home games are included, how many tickets will i be able to have?

Season ticket holders 2 each - end of.

yeah that equals over 35,000 do the maths blazing saddles, impossible for them to do that cus even season ticket holders will miss out..

Season ticket x 1

Preimer club x 2

Who ever renews get a extra ticket but only give a week deadline

take it up to 28,000 i expect

3,000 given to each away member and stadium card holder x 1

if get extra 4,000 go on general sale and everybody can fight it out for extra tickets

i will be absolutly devestated if that happens, wembley is a 90,000 seater stadium and will allocated a max of around 35,000 i think is shocking, 20,000 extra free seats there. and just because i am not able to afford to get to the stadium everyweek, never mind a season ticket means i wont get a ticket. i find it shocking, as many of us fans do us best to scrap some extra cash together to go to as many games as possible.

i can see anyone who is given more than 1 ticket, will most proberbly end up giving it away to someone who doesnt really care for the club or doesnt bother showing up

You don't KNOW that, mate. The people we might take may be in EXACTLY the same position as YOU

In my own case, I would take along the person who accompanied me to EVERY League Cup game this season whilst many 'regulars' gave it a wide berth until the Palace games. Would THAT be a FAIR thing to do even though they cannot get to too many Championship matches for exceptionally personal reasons??

At the end of the day, there is NO totally fair way of distributing tickets for this game and we had the same arguments for the FA Cup and Play-off games in the recent past and to be honest there are bound to be a lot of disappointed people

However, I would just state this:

At the START of the season EVERYONE knew what the score was. Buy a Season Ticket and you were GUARANTEED certain things, i.e. your seat for every league game, your seat/tickets for every cup game (FA Cup or League Cup) and priority tickets for away games. We ALL knew that and made our choices accordingly and the Season ticket Holders are about to be rewarded for their investment. Harsh (now we are in a final) but true

Finally, I leave you with a thought:

If there are 31,000 tickets available for Wembely and every ticket will be sold 'as fast as they can be printed' then how come(as superb a crowd it was mind ) that we weren't 'sold out' last night or any other night??

I think I have a point but I am sure some will correct me

im not a season ticket holder because i work weekends and some evenings during the week so can only go when i get the night off i have been lucky enough to be able to go to all the home carling cup games this season but now where in the final the a big possibility im not going to be there because i havnt got priority fair enough season ticket holders pay all that money so they should have first choice but where were have all these fans who are asking for tickets come from when only 6000 turned up to see the 2nd round against huddersfield ive even just seen people on facebook admit that they have sorted tickets (dont know how ) and that they seen city more times at wembley than they have at ccs

yeah that equals over 35,000 do the maths blazing saddles, impossible for them to do that cus even season ticket holders will miss out..

Season ticket x 1

Preimer club x 2

Who ever renews get a extra ticket but only give a week deadline

take it up to 28,000 i expect

3,000 given to each away member and stadium card holder x 1

if get extra 4,000 go on general sale and everybody can fight it out for extra tickets

How many 'Platinum Ambassadors' are there??

Would it be mathematically possible to give the Premier and Platinum Season Ticket holders TWO tickets, other Season Ticket holders (inc. Half Season Ticket Holders) ONE ticket, whilst having enough to sate the 'regulars' that are (for lots of reasons) NOT Season Ticket holders at all??

Just a thought, as I am still trying to fathom out the benefits of being a 'Platinum' member

My take on this.
Season ticket holders should get one ticket.
If season ticket holder also booked minimum of 2 carling cup games extra ticket
Then non season ticket holders who went to 2 or more carling cup games 1 ticket
Then any left to fans who went to one carling cup game
Then open season
Carling cup fans that went to home or away counted in as away fans are an important part of where we are now

Just my opinion which seems a fair allocation method

Why? because season ticket holders contribute to club
members St or not that went to 2 carling cup games contributed.

We need people in future to
1, pledge money to season tickets
2, to pay extra to support team in cup games

Not just jump on band wagon when we go to Wembley.
I can not afford a season ticket, but i love my team and go without other things to get one. Then i pay extra for Cup games.
Its hard but so worth it.

IF one was to buy a half season ticket tomorrow then would they be entitled to a Wemble ticket as well?

Don't believe everything you read on' Facebook' mate. According to that site we'll probably be taking 75,000 fans (the same number that attended Ninian Park in the really 'dark' days of 15 - 20 years ago ) if they are to be believed. People are already on a 'wind up' and I remind you NO tickets have gone on sale as we only knew our opponents a few minutes ago!!

I agree with you on the numbers thing for earlier rounds and other games; as if we have 19,500 Season Ticket holders then that means we have an average of around 3,000 'walk-up' fans for each game (not exact numbers, I admit )

IF one was to buy a half season ticket tomorrow then would they be entitled to a Wemble ticket as well?

Probably; but if they have any sense they'll quickly change that and link them to NEXT season and I couldn't blame them TBH

I'd call first thing and ask. Good luck, as it means another bum on seat (excuse the wording) for the rest of the season

That's what I was thinking.

I like your thinking, mate

Almost too sensible to hope it would be considered!!

I hope someone with 'pull' in the club reads this post

How many 'Platinum Ambassadors' are there??

Would it be mathematically possible to give the Premier and Platinum Season Ticket holders TWO tickets, other Season Ticket holders (inc. Half Season Ticket Holders) ONE ticket, whilst having enough to sate the 'regulars' that are (for lots of reasons) NOT Season Ticket holders at all??

Hoping they can do that tbh.
I may get slated for this - but really want to be able to take my girlfriend.
She has adopted Cardiff as her team, been to a few games this year, wants to go to more, and is loving it. She was making as much noise as I was last night! Being able to support the city at Wembley would the icing on the cake for her
(also, please no "woman don't belong at football" posts - being male or female doesn't decide how much of a fan you are).
I know there is the chance of her being able to get one if they go on general sale or whatever, but that would cause issues in terms of where we're sitting and stuff.

im not a season ticket holder because i work weekends and some evenings during the week so can only go when i get the night off i have been lucky enough to be able to go to all the home carling cup games this season but now where in the final the a big possibility im not going to be there because i havnt got priority fair enough season ticket holders pay all that money so they should have first choice but where were have all these fans who are asking for tickets come from when only 6000 turned up to see the 2nd round against huddersfield ive even just seen people on facebook admit that they have sorted tickets (dont know how ) and that they seen city more times at wembley than they have at ccs

I know not to belive facebook but these people im talking about are on my friends list i no for a fact they have not been to any games at ccs and seen there pics from previous wembley finals where they got there tickets from season ticket holders being given 2 tickets . hopefully things will work out fair whetever happens ill be supporting the boys booked the time off work the day after the burnley game

Same old shit as always,, people know the score ST's get priority end of... it amazes me how many people say 'I'm not a season ticket holder because..can't attend many games due to blah blah blah..BUT in the next breath.....i've been to every Carling cup game so I should be entitled to a ticket .... now how comes all these peeps say they can't get to league games but can attend ALL carling cup games? and if the amount of people who i've read on the various threads who are not ST holders attended ALL Carling Cup games then every home tie should have been a sell out?

Can't fault you for that. Hope you sort something out

Remeber we also need new people, i was new once and well and truly hooked.
My son is 3 years old, he cries if i do not take him, which was in the night games, now he goes to all.
He got home at 11:45 the other night, and sung which is more than some adults do ( okay so i have been teaching him)
He has been a season ticket holder for 3 years, but like all of us he had a first game.
What i do not want to see is new people go to wembley who never come again, but if someone get the bug and joins as a new season ticket holder its good business for our club.
But firstly we have those that have contributed by paying for season tickets and i do not care how much they paid as some rich buisiness people may pay £700 a year on a salary of £80000 but someone else struggles pays £400 on £25000 both are equal fans but one struggles to do it one finds it easy.
Then cup games, some fans turn up, some season ticket holders turn up, but not all.
lets reward those who do.
So then if your a season ticket holder, and /or turned up for atleast 2 carling cup games your getting tickets.
Do those that just turned up last night really think they should be at the top for tickets.

A sad occurence we can do little to stop, I'm afraid

Personally, I wouldn't give a spare ticket to someone who hadn't been to any games but then I have principles. Some simply don't care, so long as 'they' are ok

Good luck

i will be absolutly devestated if that happens, wembley is a 90,000 seater stadium and will allocated a max of around 35,000 i think is shocking, 20,000 extra free seats there. and just because i am not able to afford to get to the stadium everyweek, never mind a season ticket means i wont get a ticket. i find it shocking, as many of us fans do us best to scrap some extra cash together to go to as many games as possible.

i can see anyone who is given more than 1 ticket, will most proberbly end up giving it away to someone who doesnt really care for the club or doesnt bother showing up

You don't KNOW that, mate. The people we might take may be in EXACTLY the same position as YOU

In my own case, I would take along the person who accompanied me to EVERY League Cup game this season whilst many 'regulars' gave it a wide berth until the Palace games. Would THAT be a FAIR thing to do even though they cannot get to too many Championship matches for exceptionally personal reasons??

At the end of the day, there is NO totally fair way of distributing tickets for this game and we had the same arguments for the FA Cup and Play-off games in the recent past and to be honest there are bound to be a lot of disappointed people

However, I would just state this:

If there are 31,000 tickets available for Wembely and every ticket will be sold 'as fast as they can be printed' then how come(as superb a crowd it was mind ) that we weren't 'sold out' last night or any other night??

I think I have a point but I am sure some will correct me

SPOT ON

I'm a ST holder, but I just hope some tickets go on sale to stadium card member holders because I was planning on going to Wembley with some people who are just members!

Come on City!!!

i will be absolutly devestated if that happens, wembley is a 90,000 seater stadium and will allocated a max of around 35,000 i think is shocking, 20,000 extra free seats there. and just because i am not able to afford to get to the stadium everyweek, never mind a season ticket means i wont get a ticket. i find it shocking, as many of us fans do us best to scrap some extra cash together to go to as many games as possible.

its not the fact that because we are not season ticket holders we shouldnt be entitled to a ticket, but the arguement is vice versa, why should you get 2 tickets with a season ticket, when its only you who owns your season ticket, not two of you.

i will be gutted if i miss out on a ticket, anyone would, but its the fact that its a 90,000 seater stadium. we only get 31,000 tickets, as we all know with many of our recent success's people WILL buy a season ticket just to attend a BIG game and then not show up to the regular games, hency why most proberbly last night wasnt a sell out and maybe some people had personal reasons as to why they couldnt go.

the bad thing about last night in which is a counter to your thought as to last night wasnt sold out, not that people "just showed up to the palace game" but as to why they waited until AFTER our first leg to get their tickets, i ordered my tickets for the semi's the day they came on sale.

i suppose if your fortunate to have a job, and enough money to be able to afford a season ticket, and to get to every game then your high and mighty above the rest, agreed that you deserve first come first serve basis, HOWEVER, as many on this topic has stated, they think we're who dont own a season ticket dont deserve to get one either

Thats why i say
If season ticket holder 1 ticket ( who ever you are)
If been too two carling cup games 1 ticket
So season ticket holders who been to one or less carling cup games 1 ticket
So season ticket holders who been to two carling cup fixtures get 2 tickets
Non season ticket holders been to two carling cup fixtures 1 ticket
then 1 cup game
then open season
Surely thats fair as those who supported most get most
but as numbers go those fans not season ticket holders but supported team in cup also get tickets.

We need to make sure we get support in future so when we play a lower division we get numbers there, not just when we play liverpool etc. reward those loyal fans that make an effort for every game they can. Some non season tiocket holders have been there when others have not in these cup games, they should be rewarded.
Then hopefully people will think twice about missing what looks like a nothing game next season.
Support is 24/7 not just when we go to Wembley

Same old shit as always,, people know the score ST's get priority end of... it amazes me how many people say 'I'm not a season ticket holder because..can't attend many games due to blah blah blah..BUT in the next breath.....i've been to every Carling cup game so I should be entitled to a ticket .... now how comes all these peeps say they can't get to league games but can attend ALL carling cup games? and if the amount of people who i've read on the various threads who are not ST holders attended ALL Carling Cup games then every home tie should have been a sell out?

take it this is aimed at me the best way for me to go to games is midweek and if you read my post i said i was lucky enoug that i could go to all carling cup games and that season ticket holder should get the priority i could pay £400+ pound for a season ticket just incase we get a big game like this or a playoff final comes along or incase we get promoted or buy a half seaon ticket to get priority for wembly when i wont be there for most of the games. the main problem is there were only 6000 there with me at huddersifeld to watch a weak cardiff team in 2 round and there wernt much more against leicester and burnley now suddenly there are 19000+ season ticket holders who want tickets plus an extra ticket so they can take a family member with them where were they for theses early games

the great ticket debate.

i should have one/two coz i spent money years ago
i should have one coz i hold a season ticket
i should have one coz i went last night and sat in a season ticket holders seat
i should have one coz i was one of 6k that turned up for the hudd's game
i should have one coz i got bought a half season ticket for the first time in my life
i should have once coz i cant go every-time but dedicated to go when i can once a month
bla
bla
bla
i could go on guys but i wont, its not meant to annoy anyone.

the fact of the matter is, we go to watch a football game, the people who front it are business men, they will do what they can to get revenue into their business,
RIGHT or WRONG ?
I believe then to be honorable and will stick by any word they have made or anyone has made to us previously, once them commitments are fulfilled it is their business that they wil sort out and to do that, its next season they will be looking too,
now how they do this i see it coming in one of two ways, offering up next years season tickets early to the ambbos and current ST holders
OR
more likely offering up a block of NEW season tickets for new members, bringing in new money not repeat money that they know their going to get anyway

with the second option being the one to create the most revenue, i can see it going along these lines

18k ST holders x 1 each =18000
500 - 600 premier seats (money talks people) x 4 each 2000 or 2400

thats 20k

were only allowed a percentage of tickets to be sold, having to hold back what i believe is 10% for walk ups
someone correct me if my figures are wrong but 10% of home fans of 22k approx 2k
we already have 18k so can only sell in theory (if my percentage and home fan numbers are spot on) an additional 2k

thats 22k sold
leaving 9k for other people who do not fall into the above category
so should that many be available to general public, of whom many could be just jumping on the party train. and end up grabbing two each and never been before.

or

should platto's (6k i think) be given 2 each, and then make sure ticket buyers (away members, stadium card holders, 3 then 2 then 1 cup tickets) get the remaining 3k

thus stopping the plastics getting hold of any ? (unless someone entitled gives them away)

Same old shit as always,, people know the score ST's get priority end of... it amazes me how many people say 'I'm not a season ticket holder because..can't attend many games due to blah blah blah..BUT in the next breath.....i've been to every Carling cup game so I should be entitled to a ticket .... now how comes all these peeps say they can't get to league games but can attend ALL carling cup games? and if the amount of people who i've read on the various threads who are not ST holders attended ALL Carling Cup games then every home tie should have been a sell out?

Thats why my ideas seem fair
If you been too two cup matches you get a ticket.
But you gotta see the others opinions too
Season tickets are what pays for the club
But those supporting cup games deserve a bite too because without their support would we be here now?

Im just having a rant its only right that season ticket holders get first choice and whetever happens ills till be going to games next season when i can its the fact that people couldnt be bothered to turn out in the early rounds to watch what most thought were going to be boring games suddenly cant wait because were at wembley playing liverpool

Spot on pal took the words right out of mouth
