Doesn't matter, surely? You claim that 32k isn't enough, so even if no ST holders go, there'd be plenty to fill their places, cos they don't get a chance to normally! :lol:

Your massive waiting list is about as real as our 250k database!


So why was Cardiffs attendance 7000 against Huddersfield but needed more tickets for the final? :?


We didn't need any more tickets than our allocation though, We only just sold out, tickets were on general sale the week before, my mate got one on the Thursday before the game, in fact there was worry that when the club put them on general sale Liverpool fans were going to travel down and buy them.

We never needed more than our allocation, anyone who says otherwise is bullshiting where as you on the other hand are saying your allocation is not enough but your attendances dont back that up.

The last Swansea wembley following was 43k and that was when they were averaging 15k crowds, now the average is 20k.....

But that was for your first visit to the new Wembley which is obviously a novelty factor, now you have been there once, do you believe you would sell the same for a game against Bradford?

For example we went there 4 times in 4 years, when it came to the Carling Cup final some people fucked it off
and prefered to put their money towards their season ticket.

Plus the day trippers drop off one by one cos the novelty had worn off.

But that's your exact point isn't it? Looking at the attendances of early rounds of the cup and then questioning the support base if it didnt sell out.

I just gave you a link to the world most well supported club with 30,000 empty seats for their cup match and are notorious for their season ticket waiting list.

Well I admire your confidence but I suppose we will never know gentleman unless you happen to do it.

You only have to look at Chelsea, they have been there so many times they are struggling to shift the tickets and its on their doorstep.

If they sell out instantly I think it will give a fair indication of the demand.

I live the other side of the world so won't be going. But I know a good few lads flying from Melbourne to go, assuming they get tickets of course. I can't justify the $3000 + round trip however. But they show every swans game live here on Foxtel.

Not at all. My point was about Swansea City and their waiting list.

I'm quite happy to believe there is one, just not as big as you'd like us to think. :thumbright:

But that is now based on nothing other than a pure guess as I've proved that attendances in early rounds of the cup have no baring on support - hence man united having 30,000 empty seats.

Nah. The attendances just reinforce what I believe to be the case.

Night. :wave:

Re: Jack paper made me chuckle.

Tue Jan 29, 2013 11:54 pm

As I've proved. Attendances have no baring on such things.

You are entitled to your guess but judging from the 33 consecutive home league sell outs it seems odds against that you are correct.

Re: Jack paper made me chuckle.

Wed Jan 30, 2013 6:19 pm

Of course they'll sell their 32000 ticket allocation no doubt, but as Barry chuckle says, if their fans are that desperate to see them and can't get tickets because they are sold out for the league games then why aren't they selling out for the cup matches? Surely all the swans fans (non ST holders and all the absolute thousands supposedly on their waiting list)would snap up the tickets for the cup matches but they're obviously not! Why? Well maybe they're not quite as well supported as they like to think they are!

16,500 sold in 3 hours, and pretty much the whole 32,000 allocation sold 48 hours later. I think we could shift another
15-,000 - 20,000 tickets.

And yet again the bitter of cardiff fans starts a thred on swansea and mentions me.
Cardiif sold there tickets last season,but did you sell out the semi.s?no
Did you have sell out crowds ?no.
Did you sell out your play off semi.s?no.
How many you taking to leeds sat?lol.
Your one of the worst away supported in the champ.
And we have near on 5k on waiting list for season tickets.
And it makes me laugh when smurphey comes out with things loke we need the dutch to run bradford?he is only a kid and never been to swansea with out a bubble trip?annis has brain washed all you kids with his story telling fairy tales.

Cant think of anything to say before he goes to school.
Hope you had your readybreak.

Swansealad69 - I guess you won't be going to wembley because, as you said on here, you have no interest in the cups?

Re: Jack paper made me chuckle.

Fri Feb 01, 2013 9:29 am

Back on topic for a minute.

Why have swansea only been given 32,000 where are all the other tickets? It's a 90,000 stadium isn't it? :? Around 30,000 tickets aren't being sold?

Surely there can't be that many for sponsors etc?

You'll be amazed how many freebies, sponsorship and promotion tickets are given out. Same with the FA Cup final a few years ago with us. Almost as many neutrals there as club supporters..

That's ridiculous, a third of the stadium is unavailable to either set of supporters.

Something we all agree on, wonders with never cease

Club Wembley have something like 10,000 seats, these have been pre-sold for all England and cup finals, although half these won't turn up.
My advice to Swans fans who don't get tickets is to keep an eye out on eBay, hopefully individuals sell at face value
