That was my thought too. It’s also been suggested on here that returns through TE might be passed directly on to agencies that have a waiting list of potential buyers who are willing to pay inflated prices for tickets, though I have no idea whether that’s actually the case.

Had to put ours (2) up for Exchange (at around 12.30 today) due to our dog being unwell. Sold within 2 hours, so there‘s clearly a big latent demand.

Colin the King scored 153, for example.

I think they’d suffered enough pain already tbh: 1. no doubt paying a fortune for their tickets; 2. being called out as rags amongst the City fans around them; 3. seeing how shit their team is; 4. feeling obliged to ‘do the Poznan’ in celebration of City’s third goal and United’s humiliation...

There was a group of 3 rag fans (possibly Irish) next but one to my wife and me in East Stand L3, revealed as such when (like the subject of the original post) one of them jumped up to celebrate the Utd goal. Happily no violence ensued but the guy directly in front of them gave them a ‘strong...

That’s reassuring to know - I was beginning to feel quite guilty about placing our seats on TE when we can’t make it ourselves! Personally, I’m sceptical about the notion that the club have a calculated strategy of offloading seats returned through TE to ‘International Agencies’, even though the...

My wife and I had to cancel our trip up for the Spurs game because of a last-minute problem with the accommodation we’d booked. As it turned out, this might not have been a bad thing because of the bad weather (our’s is a 400 mile round trip across the wilds of Wales). Anyway, our tickets had...

Almost identical experience for me the other day when walking the dog in our local park (south west Wales). Saw a youngster (I’d guess 9 or 10) with the full Phil Foden 47 City kit on. As I passed him, I said something like “good to see a City shirt - not many round here” and mentioned I was a...

100 miles into our journey up from south west Wales and found A483 was closed between Newtown and Welshpool due to flooding. No alternative routes that would definitely work so had to return home :( The only compensation is that, having put our tickets for sale on Ticket Exchange, they sold more...

May do the same and possibly forego a couple of PL games - much easier now to sell tickets on TE of course. Thanks again.

Thanks for that - much appreciated!

A pint of Robbies or Boddies was around 16p at the time, so each game cost around the same as two pints. That means my drinks before a game cost twice as much as the game itself!!

Looking for some straightforward info on how the cup schemes work and would be really grateful if some kind soul could help out. Though a ST holder, I’ve never joined any of the schemes before as I live 200 miles away from Mcr nowadays (SW Wales) and doing the journey - which isn’t a...

F*ck’n’ brilliant. Sums it all up perfectly!

Only another 24 million or so to convert then!
