Bet ticket sales have been mad since last night http://www.swanseacity.net/news/article/chelsea-cup-sold-out-589831.aspx
They've been on sale for weeks, I can't believe it's taken this long for them to sell out to be honest. Obviously a lot of people only wanting to get involved now that there is a real possibility of progression...?
Well it could be cost too, but there must have been a lot of Jacks buying as the game went on second half! Me I'm keeping my money for Wembley!..........
With tickets all gone,my only concern now is will Abramovitch get his yacht into The Marina. Poor bastard,what a problem to have to face. Life can be very unkind sometimes.
Cost? So there must have been a coincidental sudden surge of lottery winners in Swansea last night as the game was developing then?
The worry is the lack of faith in the team , another chance at Wembley could be on the cards ,keep your ticket stubs lads I think we may need them
Do you think? I've got all mine just in case, but do you think we'll sell Wembley out again? Or Will our allocation be less than the play off final because of more of a corporate allocation?
The finalists get approx 25,000 tickets each. We'd sell out in no time. Season ticket holders could get 1 each then what's left would go up for grabs. That's what all the other teams with less than 25,000 season ticket holders do.
25k each ? So almost 40k goes to people with no connection to either club, there's something seriously wrong with that. Are you sure you are right ?
bought mine on Wednesday morning and was shocked to be able to get 6 in a row. Went to the Arsenal game last week aswell. Its surprising as im not a season ticket holder and couldn't get a ticket for love nor money (not that i tried the 'love' route) last season. Seems the plastic fans have returned from whence they came...
There are other factors. Many fans paid for their season tickets in December, there was the small matter of Christmas and then matches against Middlesborough, Arsenal and Chelsea in the cups. We are in a working class town in the middle of a recession - people only have so much money.
I've got a ticket for Swans versus Chelsea but can't go now because of work. Private message me if you want to take it off my hands at cost price - £25 + £1.50 web booking fee. Back of the east stand towards the middle.
We probably won't sell our allocation... We have been given 3244 tickets and I think we have sold about 2400-2500 of those... We will end up taking 2700-2800 I reckon...
Good show all the same if thats true, cup game under lights ,you can't beat it ,in the short history of the Stadium we aren't half had some great matches and this has got to be one of the biggest
Quite right. December has cost me a fortune. Renewd seasons for me and my son. Tickets bought for Borough ( might have been end of nov), Spurs away, Reading away, Arsenal and chelsea. I am sure it was somewhere near £750. Thats without xmas pressies. I am amazed people took a chance on getting semi final tickets until after the first leg. have some faith in your side guys and maybe a lottery win to pay for it.
I think 2800 would be a decent effort by our support tbh. I can see it being a cracking atmosphere. You will be up for it with obvious reasons. We are on great away form so will be up for it. Our away fans are some of the best in England. Your home fans are some of the best in England. I can't wait! Booked train tickets the other day... should be a good'un
This goes back to the debate we had about why there were only 15000 at the last game against boro. The general excuse was that it was too expensive and times were very hard and people could not possibly afford to take in so many games...wonder what has changed.. This is exactly the kind of thing that will drive the board crazy in its drive to expand the stadium!! all of a sudden we are in a ticket rush and sold out where as before chelsea away there was average up take. ive always said that us along with Cardiff have some of the most fickle fans in football, this just proves it to me. Im all for people buying into the Swans but it does rankle a bit when there appear to be so many just intrested in the glamour games only, i perfectly understand the genuine fans that have to pick and choose their games,you will know who you are !! the band wagon jumpers make it very hard for the board to plan expansion properly though! Most of us on here would follow the team through thick and thin and have done for years, i do though sometimes question oursupport and wonder at what level it is at, there is no doubt it has grown to at least 15,000 from the days when 2-3000 was the core, the next level of expansion looks more of a gamble when we go from 21000 one week to 15000 in a cup quarter final the next !!
I know it has been an expensive month. But, this was our first major semi final in 48 years. I just couldnt miss it and find it strange that some people would pick any other game over it. I know it is 2 legs and that was probably a problem with us being away in the first leg. But Norway you are right it should be a big crowd no matter what ever the possible outcome of the first leg.
