Seat Counters - 2023/24

exactly this, the notion there is some mythical pecking order being adhered to is laughable, one chap has secured 3 seats, not been to the Etihad once in the last 5 years

Awful 1st wembley trip for my 8 year old son on Saturday. Had to wait for sales criteria to open up to him and my wife so ended up in tier 2 right behind our goal as he was worried about being too high up. Been building his first wembley trip up all week so he wanted to get in early for the build up. When we got to our seats, an American family were sat in 2 of our 3 seats, who knew something was wrong as someone else had already tried to sit there. This was a whole hour and half before K.O. My lad sat in the 1 seat left until done french bloke came along shouting at him to get out of his seat, whilst I had gone to find someone to sort it out. When I went back to him, he was in tears. Stewards were clueless as to who could sort it out. Eventually a security bloke got hold of someone who took all 3 families to a ticket office. We were told the American family who were there first would stay. Moved us to a disabled viewing platform as there was some space there, but no seats. Eventually they found 3 seats near our original seats just as the whistle blew for kick off. Wembley were blaming City and City were apparently blaming Wembley. As it turns out our seats were sold 4 times. All we were given was an email address to complain to. I'm gutted that my lad sat upset most of the match as we were put next to the French bloke who had been shouting at him. What should've been a lifelong memory of a great day turned out crap because of a ticketing fuck up.

Seriously, what kind of grown man makes an 8-year-old kid cry like that? It doesn’t take much to sit down with him, chat about football until his dad gets back and then sort any trouble out nicely.

Please. Go after the club with all your might over this. It fucking stinks to high heaven.

I think the club makes some woolly comment about commercial partners, I don't think they admit to giving tickets to actual fans without points.

You and I,and every other supporter who qualifies through the points system and attends away matches, know differently.
However they dress it up that is exactly what they are doing, giving tickets to people with no points and in many cases to people who have no allegiance to the club and dare I say have more allegiance to the club we are playing .
 
Great times lie ahead - the final big Seat counting game of the season. From Friday onwards once this drops below those on the scheme the elite level seat counters on here can get to work and display their skills.

The only issue on this one for the Seat Counters is how quickly it sells out. I'll go with an early prediction: it will get down to Season ticket holders with no points and sell out at that level.
 
We still have the Leeds Youth Cup Final game which is a different kind of challenge to the cup final for our wonderful seat counters to close the season with.

An interesting angle for me will be how many are initially showing for sale at 10am (or as soon as someone is able to do a count after 10am) when the first window opens. I think @Corky predicted less than 20,000 for last year's final and from memory he was correct. I reckon it'll be the same this year. I just might not be as on the ball as others today - we're short-staffed at work so I'll keep getting sidetracked. Hopefully I can get an early count in.
