Ticket sales update.

View attachment 86552

Seats for sale on the highlighted L3 blocks is currently 816 seats. The majority of L3 blocks on sale have low amounts of seats for sale. They will sell out in the coming days. There are blocks on L3 that are still greyed out and are not on sale. L1 looks/is sold out. As for L2, that's anyones guess.

Fuck! Is this for real? I haven’t gone online to get our 4 yet as I assumed there’d be loads left?!! Going online now, hope I can still get 4 together

 

[BringBackSwales]

Im going and I did.

Me too. My lads didn’t go to York away, but to be fair they weren’t born! Just got our 4 tickets now, didn’t appear to be a lot left, nothing left on tier 1 for 4 together that I could see

Glad you got sorted, hope they get the other blocks open soon, sure people are waiting for those to open.

Im one if fhe few 250,000 that can prove I was at York as when Russell scores theres a shot of the stand on the side behind him and me and my mates are stood up. :)

We seem to write this game off and pep plays a few kids plus we never really up to speed fitness!

The champions league win is patly why we can sell out this without a lot.of core season card holders attending.

Winning such trophies attracts those fans who turn up in the shop in a chelsea shirt carry a rag megastore bag and buying city merchandise who will snap up any opportunity to attend at least one game

Rationally, in my head, I know we need to attract the tourists and non-Manc fans to continue to dominate and put our foot down on the necks of our rivals.

Emotionally, as an old fart from Maine Road, I do catch myself from time to time rolling my eyes with the numbers of tourists rocking up at the Etihad.

Don’t know if this tension will ever really go away for those of us old enough to remember pre-takeover days.

Isn’t it usually after international tournaments when the 1st team squad are all coming back at different times

 

[borninm14]

Could quite easily sell out today, about 600 tickets left

Close your eyes,breathe deeply,relax.

The only thing that’s constant is change.

Remember Swindon and Bury at Maine Road,you’ll soon perk up.

I'm going to the match because I think the team deserves our support after the fantastic season we've just had, and it feels the wrong game for a boycott, although I can understand the reasons.
I personally would never have a little dig at the 1894 group as I think they do a brilliant job for our club.
But on this occasion I disagree with any boycott.

Great post.

I think this boycott was badly thought out in that this is the first game since winning a treble and as you say this team deserve our support.

In my humble opinion it was enough to get a first initial victory of moving to 4pm from a ridiculous 5.30pm.
Great work and thanks to 1894 for this.

Disruption that affects the TV companies in £ Is the only way.

Zebra pants excepted united did a great job getting a game called off, imagine that impact a few times during a season.

I did not want to be sat in a half empty City end so am really happy that fans that dont often get to see us are getting a chance.
I do care what other fans think of our support so was dreading the ridicule.Im not a soft arse, its just when we were shit I was always so proud of our support, it was all we had, the red shirts will never understand that.

Its a shame 1894 and the like are not there as the atmosphere will be flat without them I suspect.

My Mrs can prove I went. I had a works Christmas do in Sunderland that night, so said to the Mrs why don’t we go up early and I can take you shopping in York on the way. She was delighted. On the drive up she noted lots of cars with City scarves out the windows. As we got further north she asked “where are City playing today?”, I said “er York”, she was not impressed. When we got nearer the ground I asked her to drop me outside a pub, and unfortunately for me a really good match going mate was stood outside the pub, and to this day she thinks that was planned. I asked her to pick me up after the game from the same place, and when she did she said the traffic was that bad she hadn’t managed to go shopping (must have been the 250k Blues that were there!).

It’s about fucking the working class fan over,not just City fans everyone who follows football.

Are we sure that the bottom tier has actually been put up for sale ?

 

[bainy]

Something fishy wiv tik sales. Out of my group of 30 plus...all regulars, non going. First time ever the local supporters club not running a coach. Have city given 1000s away to schools plus transport? Doesn't add up

I bought tickets in it last week, so some were available. I didn't check if they had opened all blocks though.

That’s what I thought. But I’m sure they’d sell bottom tier first so it looks good on TV

the criteria has opened the allocation up for other people to go, with people being allowed to buy 4 it only takes 7500 people to take up their allowance and 30000 tickets are sold, i don't blame City for this stance, supporters don't know how lucky they are to have an elite football club on their doorstep, our support has been apathetic on plenty of occasions, if people don't want to go fair enough, but there are plenty who do, so everyone is happy

It looks like 548 onwards are greyed out.

 

[wolfie1988]

Sold out already. They were in with the initial released tickets

Arsenal will pick up all the slack and probably have 50k there! They are still in the excited mode and with Declan signing too oh and it’s around the corner for Arsenal supporters!
