Be a bit of everything , but there seems an expectation games like this should be selling out and there’s no real reason why every single game should o needs to. A few years ago anything over 40/45000 would be considered a good gate for this type of game. IMO it still is.Club are pushing multiple Sparta Prague tickets to ST holders. Are we pricing out fans or do supporters who can't afford PL games have something else on that night?
Or is it because it's "only Sparta Prague", rather than a chance to watch City?
At the right price this sells out. The problem is nobody can justify paying £35 for this match and I don't really blame them.Be a bit of everything , but there seems an expectation games like this should be selling out and there’s no real reason why every single game should o needs to.

As for me I could only really afford to travel down for one midweek game this side of Christmas and 3 weekend games so I picked the Inter game for my mid week.
For a club that does so much right I cant work this out, planning for the future seems to go by the wayside.At the right price this sells out. The problem is nobody can justify paying £35 for this match and I don't really blame them.
This crowd should be full of local kids paying a fiver each, and should be the beginning of a lifetime of supporting our beautiful club.
Unfortunately the club seem to view our recent success as a chance to make a quick couple of quid, rather than being the building blocks for the next generation of blues.
This really will bite us in the arse one day
One of the many reasons I binned the CL off was buying a full price ticket only to find the club had shifted thousands at a reduced price to students etc.At the right price this sells out. The problem is nobody can justify paying £35 for this match and I don't really blame them.

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the reduced price to students either, they're normally not from Manchester and by that age have picked a team already.One of the many reasons I binned the CL off was buying a full price ticket only to find the club had shifted thousands at a reduced price to students etc.
Now driving 90+ mins each way means that I'll not go back to CL games to add to the other half a dozen reasons. They've lost me as an income source forever.
I have no issue with kids/school parties coming for a fiver tho.
I doubt anything will change until Soriano is out the door.Yesterday I spoke to a mate of mine who's a life long Stockport county fan, his son is about 10 years old now.
So many kids at his school, who've been raised City and united fans, now go and watch Stockport regularly and consider themselves Stockport fans.
City should be worried at the number of future supporters turning away because of price
When I was that age, or just a bit older, my pocket money allowed me to watch Stockport on a Friday night and City on a Saturday. Doubt if many kids get the pocket money they’d need for that nowadays!Yesterday I spoke to a mate of mine who's a life long Stockport county fan, his son is about 10 years old now.

They’re not because under 1% of City’s fan base are now local. It’s all about globalisation now.Yesterday I spoke to a mate of mine who's a life long Stockport county fan, his son is about 10 years old now.

Looks like they’ve gone on general sale. 4 per person. Matchday membership not required. Feel for those that have forked out for membership to purchase tickets before the change in criteria.Club are pushing multiple Sparta Prague tickets to ST holders. Are we pricing out fans or do supporters who can't afford PL games have something else on that night?

They’re Desperate now. You reap what you sow….Looks like they’ve gone on general sale. 4 per person. Matchday membership not required. Feel for those that have forked out for membership to purchase tickets before the change in criteria.
Blame also UEFA... this league phase is the opposite of what they wanted to do. More interesting games for fans... please! Unless you mean the local fans of Slovan Bratislava!They’re Desperate now. You reap what you sow….
Bought two this morning. "Sold out" came and went as i refreshed the page... it may be the case it's really close to selling out (after City reduced its allocation, I presume by returning the tickets to Spurs... thank you very much, but £37 on a wednesday night in north London is too much for many of City fans).Spurs away showing as sold out.
377 left for Lisbon, will be plenty left for Matchday members
Still on CL Cup scheme at present. Assume it will offer lower to them before all ST holders.Will presumably drop to 10K at some point tomorrow.
I think 10K is round about the figure that a lot of long term ST holders who’ve never bothered with Platinum will be roughly on. So I reckon they could shift a few tomorrow. Not 400 mind.
