I’ve given my spare ticket away. People will be selling skates for peanuts tomorrow. Loads of factors including expense, transport, kick off time, 3 prem home games in a row, parking regulations and less illustrious opposition affect demand. That said, I only go to watch City and I see Brentford as decent opposition.
The problem is £30 is more than the pro rata price of the majority of season tickets. So the club aren’t going to want to reimburse a season ticket holder say £38 and then resell the seat for £30. Selling the Brentford returns for £30 is great and you probably could do the back of SS3 but the rest of the stadium it wouldn’t work. I’d suggest for games such as this divide the price of a season ticket by 19, then add £5 rounded up or down to the nearest pound.That's the correct answer: "the 3rd tier away end sold out fast as it was £30 tickets". Price it right, you fill the ground. The problem may be, that having priced it so high initially they have to maintain that price level for the re-sales. Also matchday buyers are entitled to return tickets after the game was moved for TV, so lots more coming back at the high price. It's a pity, we're fighting for the title, we absoloutely need a full house shouting us on, with lots of gaps tomorrow it'll be compared to Clanfield, and made to look like the City fans don't care, but they do care, they just can't afford it at £53 with a run of home games. Just see the sold out SS 3rd tier at £30 for proof....

It would appear soway too sensible, the club think there are 1000's waiting in the wings to be rinsed
Good ideas. In addition, I don’t know if there’s scope for City helping people in between jobs like the old days.fair play to you, tomorrow should have been a free upgrade game, to make up for it not being a saturday game, yet the club are asking concessions to bring proof of id, honestly where is our club heading
Living 100 miles away and finishing work at 5pm, with no delays, a fair wind and a big slice of luck, we can just about make an 8pm kick off.I don’t know how they stop it now. There are plenty of people who will miss games for genuine reasons, I miss some myself, but how many of the thousands of tickets on the exchange for tomorrow night have been put there by people who can’t be arsed with Brentford on a Tuesday night. I’m not knocking the supporters by the way, I understand why they do it, if you haven’t got a season ticket nowadays then forget it. The club have created this mess for themselves.
Considering how many there were initially, they sold a lot quicker than what was available anywhere else in the stadiumThe £30 tickets were still available yesterday, they certainly didn't sell fast.
I don’t blame you for listing the tickets, which I literally put in my post.Living 100 miles away and finishing work at 5pm, with no delays, a fair wind and a big slice of luck, we can just about make an 8pm kick off.
7:30pm guarantees I'll be travelling a round trip of 200 miles to watch 45 mins of football, getting home well after midnight.
Tickets are on exchange and I'm apologising to no fucker for that, especially after making the same 200 mile round trip a mere 72 hours before this one.
100%...no words needed !!Madness. We're going for a historic 4th title on the trot. The best team that most of us will ever see. And there's still loads of tickets available because of ridiculous pricing. It's not rocket science. A sold out ground with a pumped up atmosphere is worth a goal start. Just reduce prices and let Mancunians in!
the club don't do any free upgrade games anymore, surely tomorrow night would be perfect considering the fans have lost a weekend home game due to the club world cup, where we no doubt made a fortune. The disconnect between the club and the price of going is so dis heartening, we should be hoovering up fans, not alienating them, good old FFP
The problem is, the club see your first two sentences as the main justification for charging such obscene prices in the first place. The problem for the club though is, despite what they may think, there are not 1000s waiting in the wings to pay 50 odd quid to watch us play Brentford on a cold damp Tuesday night.Madness. We're going for a historic 4th title on the trot. The best team that most of us will ever see. And there's still loads of tickets available because of ridiculous pricing. It's not rocket science.

Agreed, just like Burnley the other week. Nothing the club can do about no shows I suppose, but it doesn’t help when Pep calls the fans out for lack of atmosphere either…would be good if we could enlighten him about the aforementioned reasons for lack of atmopehere on nights like tomorrow, and he might think twice.Regardless of the ticket prices and unsold seats there will also likely be a couple of thousand no shows tomorrow which leads to a very flat atmosphere when hardly any away fans are there.
Theres nearly 10 pages on the ticket section with people trying to shift tickets for tomorrow. Quite bizarre.Madness. We're going for a historic 4th title on the trot.

left hand right hand. I’ll be in Lanzarote for this and managed to sell my ticket on the exchange scheme. Still getting emails from the club telling me to take some form of id to prove my pensioners ticketThey’re clearly in the early stages of a major clampdown on people using concession tickets who aren’t entitled, so there’s no way they’re going back to actively encouraging it. Even on a one off basis.
