Yes. Can't prevent them but they are more difficult to sell. Two of us sat separately as I couldn't be bothered returning mine and then buying together. Looking forward to this game. I think we'll play a mixture of young and experienced players.

we only booked yesterday there were lots of 5 plus in a row in 309 looking forward to it now wasn't so keen at 10pm last night lol
 
Will sell out this week. Not for the first time, we’ll have a full house for a 3rd round FA Cup tie against lower league opposition. Another sign that our support has grown substantially over the last decade, because before then we’d have been lucky to get 35,000 for a cup game against Port Vale, even with a large away following and cheap tickets.

Averaging 54k in the League, 50k in the Champions League, meanwhile Man Utd have handed out 30,000 free tickets in Cup games this season but it's still the Emptihad.

Daughter bought me some tickets for this game considering I haven't renewed my season ticket it came as a bit of a surprise. In tow I will be taking my eldest son ( Goes to maybe half the matches a season) and my two grandsons first game which will be a big thing for us. One Burnley fan and one Blackburn fan will be going too and they're excited too.

I just hope the real City turn up and make a good impression.

Marvin, not that I'm calling you a liar but how do you know?, is there a way of finding out how many tickets are left online?.
Do hope it's true as we (the Vale) are bouncing at the minute and cannot wait until Saturday evening...

I don't know for certain.

City's tickets are sold online so I log in with my username and password and flick through the available blocks, and estimate the numbers left. That gives an estimate for the numbers available online. If City don't put them online then my estimate will be wrong. For example, I know there are single seats left in Levels one and two that are not shown online so I kept my comment simple, "there are ~2,500 seats left online". There's probably a few hundred single seats left in a few blocks in Levels 1 and 2 that will become available as the seats in the 3rd tiers sell out.

Here is an example of one block. There are about 20 blocks left on sale (mostly in the 3rd tier) so I click on each block, guesstimate the number on sale and keep a running total. Most days I post the figure in the topic.

I'll do it each day so you can keep an eye on it. It's only a guide based on City's online selling system.

Just called the club to confirm my seat as I have some how deleted my seat information as we get moved to accommodate the away fans and they told me I would either have to come down on match day when the ticket office is open or print it off, for one I don't have a printer and two I am on my hols so my brother is using it, find it weird that I am in the cup scheme and been told I need to print it off, I had a right go at the poor girl I just called at the club though it ain't her fault, just another case of piss up in a brewery...

Only the last rows of the 3rd tier are left.

Over 50k have already been sold.

There’s an easier way than that to count how many are left online mate. Just use the slider for ticket numbers and keep upping it. It eliminates blocks when it goes above the number of tickets left in each block, and then just add them up as you go along.

Thank you.

I got 2296. I think there are some single seats left which for some reason they have not made available online so the 2296 is an underestimate. It also doesn't include areas like the Directors box and Hospitality suites so it's an underestimate, but still a good guide.

Thanks again. I'll use that method in future. Much quicker and more precise. I was going into each block before and guessing.
 
About 2,150 left online. That's the minimum no. of seats left (there could be some seats that are not yet sold but which aren't online). Port Vale have sold out their allocation which was around 8,000.
 
Hi, Obviously a Vale fan here looking forward to visiting the Eitihad for the first time,went to Maine Rd a few times,think we won the last time on a Boxing Day.How things have changed your club has gone into orbit compared to where you were and us well we were never in orbit but we did have a decent Championship side, but due to the massive influx of "Foreign" investment we had no chance of doing anything but going down and down. You may be wondering why if Vale average 4.5k home gates how come 8k plus will be there on Saturday ? Well we very nearly went to the wall last year our last owner bled the club dry of any income,one of his proud achievements was feeding the players on out of date pies from previous games can you believe that and our reputation was at an all time low we just survived relegation to the National league and we were days away from being but into administration,fortunately our new owners Carol and Kevin Shanahan bought the club at albeit a vastly inflated price,rumour has it £4 million, small change to club like yours but an absolute ransome for us.

Vale fans are so grateful that there has been an out pouring of "Love" towards our new owners hence the Super Vale Away Chant you will no doubt hear, Carol has said she misses sitting in the away crowd singing this particular song and Vale fans from all over the country are coming to you as a show of appreciation to the Shanahan family for rescuing our club, we realise we have no chance of getting anything, even a corner will be met with wild celebration ! Our victory will come when the gate receipts are totted up it will mean the Shanahans will get some money back on their initial investment,a draw like this is like winning the lottery for a 2nd division club like us as we get isolated more and more from footballs top table.
Someone mentioned a pre season friendly at Vale Park in the early 70's I was at the game absolute mayhem that day, thank goodness those days are in the past.

Ps Please keep it to single figures, Shite City would love us to get hammered !!!!

Hope you enjoy the day. 8,000 away fans shows your club is alive and kicking. Onwards and upwards in 2020 for Vale and Man City.

City have a lot of great games coming up: Everton, Port Vale, Man Utd, Real Madrid. I am looking forward to our game as much as those other games.

You're Stoke, you're a F'king Joke! I always enjoyed singing that. Started back one Boxing Day in about 1998 when we were 1-0 down and won 2-1 at home. We were mid-table in League One and ended up winning the Play-off. And it has been one unbelievable ride since then. I don't think any club on the planet will ever experience the 20 years that we had. And it all started with the defeat of Stoke!
