Individual Match Tickets - 2024/25

I was thinking this as well. It's touting, pure and simple.
53k seats, we've probably got about 40k season ticket holders. The club hives off a chunk for hospitality, puts a relative handful on sale all on the same day weeks before the season begins. It certainly makes tickets look scarce...but watch. As the season goes on, ST holders relist their seats and rows held off for hospitality are returned, you find out that while there's certainly demand...it's not actually as mad as the club makes it look.
 
I wouldn't doubt that seeing how many tickets show up on viagogo-esque sites but also we're just one of the "new cool things" for Americans.

The Prem has blown up in the US over the last 5 years. We've won 4 of those.

The comedy Ted Lasso on Apple TV was a massive sensation over there. We're the most prominently featured Premier League team on the show.

There are going to be the bandwagon fans who just want to come over and see the team they've been lifelong fans of for the last few years.

It's why the club release tickets the way they do, in one giant batch. It gives the day trippers time to plan.

I genuinely believe they'd get rid of season tickets if they knew it wouldn't bring about absolute chaos.
Your last sentence is spot on.
 
The club are a disgrace - I'm fuming on this - to be able to buy memberships this morning and have no record with the club and get as many tickets as you like is a joke. They do not give a toss about the fans and want to maximise revenue. I'm only trying as I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old who are really engaged and would like to go. Otherwise, I would have given up and accept that the club is lost to me.
They've introduced a ticketing lottery system by the front door and City Matters have been asleep at the wheel.
 
Yeah mine's gone down 2k in 30 mins. Now at 36948. It's good to be back in Manc. I will have been in the queue longer here than for Gills tickets at Wembley at this rate. Granted that was outside in Moss Side straight from a club whereas here I am sat with everybody else fuming with a brew....but still
 
It's gone down 2k in 25 minutes for me
Down 2.5k in 25 minutes for me. Still 39.5k ahead of me, though.

"More than an hour" of a wait. Going on 5k in an hour, it's going to be more like 8 hours! My clothes will be back in fashion by the time I get to the front of the queue.


If I get to the front of the queue.
 
Do we reckon all games will sold out today or a lot of people will log in see games they wanted sold out and don't buy anything?
 
Thought the tickets only went on sale at 10 am (UK time) - didn't know you could get in a queue before that.
You can't really, you can sit in the queue before , but you get randomly allocated a number at 10am. It doesn't really matter if you're early.
 
Whether you log in at 0930 or 0959 - I did both on separate devices - the result is the same.... You are assigned to a random place in the queue at 10am.

It's a lottery, which the club haven't consulted on and (from memory) have previously said they wouldn't move to as a model of selling tickets fairly.
 
Glad I didn't buy another £35 membership the one from last season says it don't run out till end of this month,so the membership is for 12 months not a season so please check.

The problem is that there is a general sense that season ticket holders don't care (understandably) as it doesn't feel like it impacts them. However, as people have mentioned, the atmosphere is awful now and you have people taking selfies in the middle of the game. It feels like the only way of partially resetting it is a period of transition after Pep and Haaland but I fear that the damage is done now.
 
Best of luck to the Blues still trying for tickets.

If you don’t mind being in Level 3, I suggest joining your local OSC Branch to increase your chances of tickets.
