Boosted allocation for Cup replay just the ticket for City fans!
TICKETS have gone on sale for Coventry City’s Emirates FA Cup fourth-round replay against Birmingham City.
The Sky Blues have been given an allocation of over 6,000, almost 1,000 more than first anticipated, for the tie at St Andrew’s where Mark Robins’ men will be the official away side at their groundshare venue.
City were the designated ‘home’ team when they entertained Blues in a goalless draw last weekend when the Championship side were the away team at their own stadium, with Birmingham fans sitting in some areas of the ground usually put aside for visiting supporters.
Now the roles are reversed for next Tuesday’s fourth-round decider which kicks off at 7.45pm, the winner of which will travel to take on Premier League Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in the fifth round.
Tickets went on priority sale to season ticket holders yesterday, and were due to go on sale to members and match package holders at midday today – as well as fans who attended the original tie – at 9am tomorrow.
And finally they will go on general sale tomorrow at 2pm to fans who were registered on the club’s ticket system prior to January 6.
Coventry have been given an allocation of 6,392 tickets for the game, including 19 pairs of wheelchair and carer tickets, with the Sky Blues given the full Gil Merrick Stand (Upper and Lower). Tickets go off-sale on Tuesday, February 4, at midday for the game which is an all-ticket fixture for Sky Blues fans. Supporters are able to purchase three tickets per person.
