According to 'AS'. Man City have sold 25,000 tickets for the clash with Brighton next Saturday at Wembley, having to give back another 2,000 to the FA. The media outlet says that Manchester City fans have not responded as expected to tickets for the FA Cup semi-final because of the calendar, the price of the tickets and the lack of transport.
Manchester City have three games in eight days in London: Brighton (FA Cup), Tottenham (Champions League) and Crystal Palace (Premier League). Not everyone can go to everything.
Likewise, the price of each ticket for the semi-finals of the FA Cup costs around 140 euros. And that does not include travel from Manchester to London and staying over in the capital.
In addition, the last train to Manchester from North London is at 9.24pm. The match starts at 5.30 and if there is extra time and penalties and given the amount of people trying to leave the stadium, that could potentially be a problem for some Man City fans.
