Seat Counters - 2022/23

[bluesmith]

Blocks not opened up account for 7800 seats.
Would suggest season ticket uptake lower but Cityzens uptake much higher than previous years.

How are you getting to 7800?

Our tourist fans grow week by week on m sure they'll all be snapped up, especially by the tourist in London that weekend.

I don't think I have ever seen as many half and half scarves as I did on Saturday.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Less than 800 left for Fulham already! Trains are a nightmare that day as well with none running into Euston. Even getting the first train out of Manchester might not make the game in time if there are any delays. Our rail system is a shambles

Expensive shambles. Good job our road system is so good M1 open all night

You haven’t been to many CL games then!

I've just had a look and it looks like the closed blocks are about 4000

Where in the ground are the blocks they keep closed mate?

I had it 4000-5000. Difficult to tell but nearly 8000 seems very high to me. Unless he is counting the level 2 Club Wembley from 201-215 which wont be given to us.

Seeing as you and @M18CTID are doing so much, I'm going to count how many by looking at the opposite blocks.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I'm not counting individual seats but i've done rough calculations on each block and I think you're right. 4500-4800 in total.

However there are some strange patterns on the upper tier blocks where all the front and back rows are greyed out but there are loads available in the middle. That might be because they are the cheapest seats but there would usually be odd singles available I'd have thought.

If you look on the planner you can see about 6 blocks on the top tier, next to the segregation on the top tier.

I mentioned those in the upper tier last week, i thought they may be supporters club seats, but was reliable informed they normally get lower tier seats.

Ah ok, understood, cheers. I’m assuming that’s the case for both clubs, and they always get held back and only put for sale once everywhere else has virtually sold.

 

[bluesmith]

City are definitely adding seats in to blocks that have always been available.

Nearly all the blocks have increased in quants since 11am - there are now 6665 seats showing available. 871 up since 11am.

Good to see you firmly in the thick of the action, from someone who was distancing himself last week to counting like a madman, once a counter, always a counter

magabus only £20 M1 open all night in sections ;)

 

[didsburyblu]

City now advising can buy three additional tickets so must be plenty left and maybe other blocks not yet released

Yes but look at the problems that the hardcore are having already. Mysterious greyed out chunks, reappearing seats. I'm out and leaving it to the big boys. Madness lies this way.

 

[Tarnat]

5547 + those greyed out

 

[M18CTID]

5547 + those greyed out

I got 6547! Or thereabouts. Are you including the level 2 seats in your count?

It's been a bit of a nightmare even for us seasoned seat counters today. There were less than 6000 showing around midday and that became nearly 7000 a short while ago. Now just over 6500 are showing.

Going to be interesting keeping on top of it tomorrow when it opens up to ST holders being able to buy an extra 3 tickets in the morning and Cityzens members being able to do the same at 3pm!
