Man City have got Real Madrid in the Champions league a few days before the final. Hopefully they'll be knackered & rest a few for the final (assuming they get past Utd).

Allocations are usually around 33,000 so that'll sort out season ticket holders.

Doesn't leave a lot for the post season ticket holder criteria brackets though.

Got 5 games on my history for this season (been to more but they were freebies). Just got a ticket for the Spurs game incase its the same criteria as playoff final.
In previous years it's gone to claret members before ticket history.  People have cottoned on that for £25 quid they can skip the queue so we've now got loads of Claret Members, so if they adopt the same policy I can't see it going beyond that.  They should probably consider putting in a layer of Claret members with ticket history I guess, but that would go against the key benefit on which Claret Membership was sold.

Future quiz question in the making, "Which 2020 cup-winning side knocked out all of that season's top three en route to lifting the trophy?"

There are a lot of claret members so I think there will be booking history stages, otherwise the demand for 3000 tickets will simpler crash the internet!

The claret members in my family haven’t joined to skip the queue, they’ve done it because otherwise there’s no virtually chance of getting a ticket for any game, let alone Wembley.

It's a sign of how things have changed that we regard Man U as easier opponents than Citeh.

I don't. I'd rather play Man City.

I joined to ensure a ticket for home games. After all, it was unlikely we would get to Wembley this season. Apparently there are about 8000 Claret members.

It is possible that Man City might return some of their allocation as some of their fans have become blasé about such things.

Tonight's semi-final was not sold out. Manchester Derby as well.

True.  It was rumoured that they were going to change the name of their stadium to the Emptyhad

That may be the case, but I guarantee references will be passed around
