The Mail Bag

3 teams in the Semi!

Ticket allocation for the semi-final has been released on both ours and Man Utd?s OS. The allocation is as follows:

Capacity: 90,000
Everton: 31,825 (35%)
Man Utd: 32,041 (36%)
Remaining: 26,134 (29%)

We have 6% more tickets than the mystery 3rd side in the semi! 26 thousand tickets that The FA presumably will be selling off as corporate? Can that be right? If not corporate then what? Will we (and Man U) be able to request additional allocation when we sell out what we have been given? Anyone able to enlighten please? I?d have hoped for 40,000 each at least. I wonder how many of those 26 thousand tickets will end up on ebay and the like. The FA of the fans for the fans!

Peter, they get the extra 1% seats cause in the draw they are the "HOME" side, we are "AWAY"..

I’d imagine the extra 200 or so tickets for Man U are simply down to the way the segregation is done in the stadium, though yes it does feel a bit like there’s no way it would be United who got less, even for such a small amount.

As for the 26 thousand, it does seem excessive. I know there are a number of debenture holders & so on who basically own a seat for every event that takes place there but can’t imagine it’s that many. No doubt my RS supporting MD at work has plenty of takers for his so best start exploring other avenues I guess....

There are about 14500 "Club Wembley" seats that have been sold for the next ten years, plus a further 2000 corporate seats. This leaves about 10000 "spare" seats.
