Community Shield - Arsenal (N) | Sun 6th Aug - 16:00

Exactly mate.
We are a global club now with an increasingly UK wide/global fanbase.
To increase revenues and stay ahead that's the way it needs to be...

The 1st and 2nd tier are already sold out that clearly shows that a huge Number of new fans/members must of bought up the tickets as hardly any ST Holders going but as said were treble winners and best team ITW so many just wanna see the team live and London is huge

If there are any Arsenal fans in our end... they will have switched allegiance to City by the end of the game...

Football doesn't get any better than City at the moment. It is like having 11 Thierry Henry's on the pitch at the same time... ;-)

Anyone who switches allegiances wouldn't be a city fan, support for your club isn't changable because of trophies or tge team of that time

You say that, but there are plenty of people who are now only supporting us because we are winning things and switching sides - glory hunters.

When all the tourists have hoovered up all the tickets, I am waiting for the first post on here moaning about being a season card holder who can’t get a ticket. I am astounded they shifted so many tickets to members for this. Guaranteed some will end up with Arsenals Tarquin Tourists.

Fewer than 1,700 left, 2,800 including block 528 which isn't on sale.

Some people will be waiting for 528 as the most central block, as there was a rush on 529 when that was released with half sold in a few minutes.

Sales rate since late yesterday and an average of 120 per hour. The final block should open today as they seem to like to have at least a 1,500 buffer for choice.

Ive no issue with people going to the game , more power to their elbow , but i think its going to be a really poor turnout unless ticketmaster can attract thousands of daytrippers.

If I have interpreted it right looks like we have sold about thirty thousand in three days. Looks likely to be sold out.

Based on what Corkys numbers will defo sell out.
Really hope Blues in the South have got tickets as many wont get chance for most games.

Arsenal not sold out yet so don’t expect many in the City end.

Not sure where you're getting the idea hardly any S/T holders are going.
Six of us going and all S/T holders.

 

[Corky]

300 gone in last 2 hours.

We will sell out, but personally I know only 1 long tem match going blue making the trip from maybe 15 SC holders, even one who lives in london and commutes up to games has decided he isn't going, but I expect for everyone who binned it off/boycotted there was equally a blue to go instead of them

Personally I haven't been to one charity shield held at wembley as I have never agreed with the venue and sunday ko, villa park and king power had no issue with, so I won't pretend I boycotted, but still the ticket money went to the food bank and I feel it went into better coffers than the FA

Hope everyone who goes enjoys the day and we twat arsenal

Could be the biggest turn out from city fans to a community shield in years

 

[mainestand]

Hope the Arse have paid a large non refundable deposit on those supposed banners.

I’m thinking it could potentially be the biggest turn out at any non home game since maybe 1999. Possibly bar the Wigan final as well.

Never thought of it like that good point

Nobody I know, family, friends, people I work with are going. That includes quite a few season ticket holders. The demographics of City fans going, if it does sell out, which looks likely, will be interesting to see.

Not surprisingly really. We’ve just proved we are the best team in the world. A ticket to see the treble winners this year will be highly sought after for City fans and opponents.

It shows now that with all the success the have,there’s always someone to replace you if you don’t want to go

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Do we think there's any chance city have given a lot away to schools in London? Nobody knows anybody that is going.

 

[Mike N]

I know someone who’s going. Do I get a prize?
