Seat Counters 25/26

Saddleworth2 said:
My daughter wanted to come with us for Bournemouth. A couple of weeks ago when she bought a ticket there was hardly anything available - literally a seat or two in each section available. Now suddenly there are hundreds and hundreds and she could have been sat near us rather than the other side of the ground. Wtf?

It’s noticeable this season that this is happening more than ever before.

We aren’t the champions of anything this season, and fewer tourists seem to be bothering with us. City’s ticket tout partners are obviously returning tickets to City because they haven’t been able to shift them to the daytrippers who used to want a day out to watch the champions, and City are then listing them on the official ticket site.

Against Burnley there were loads of empty seats in the corner of the North Stand and East Stand. Against Everton there were loads up in the top tier of the Colin Bell Stand. In both areas the empty seats were chunked together or in one noticeable block.

Indeed.

Loads of season ticket holders can’t make certain games due to work or other things that cannot be missed from time-to-time. Sometimes last minute things that crop up, or illness on the day of the game.

They should be able to transfer their ticket to whoever they want; their brother, best mate who the person they sit next to at the Etihad who can then bring their missus, brother or best mate.

Spot on. Makes far too much sense though for City so instead they have to piss you around with additional rules - you now have to consider whether you will survive the assault couse on who you can add as a friend etc |(at certain limited times obvs), and then meet the attendance register, before factoring in actally considering transferring a ticket to someone else.

So they collected the empty seats and CHUCKED them all together.
Standards all falling this Season-:)
 
The club must accept that they have badly mishandled ticketing; all of their tweaking around the edges is only making matters worse. Restricting who you can transfer to and how many times you may transfer is creating more problems than it is solving; look at all the empty seats at the Burnley and Everton games for instance, and resale sites must be reined in, as they are the biggest problem of all.

Whoever has been in charge of ticketing should be removed from that position, and a route and branch review should be conducted to determine how to grow a sustainable match going fanbase that balances present and future attendance with revenue.

Just shows how the club have completely shot itself in the foot with its stupid pricing, stupid membership rules and stupid ticket transfer rules.

My sister and her family would have been all over this a few years ago. Club got greedy on memberships and so they fucked it off.

Buying a set of memberships is a tough sell for a family to bring the kids now and again. It's a couple of weeks food shopping for a mum. Had a similar experience to you.
 
I have just bought some tickets for the Leverkusen match. The confirmarltion has come through but not the follow-on email with th3 tickets. Anyone else had this? Wiol the tickets be sent after the home match before Leverkusen to avoid autoupload issues?

There’s still plenty of time for most of these tickets to shift.

Fans have become more selective and know - after last season - that they aren’t guaranteed to see us win.

I know you’re right, but that mentality is alien to me. You turn up to get behind the boys. Pure and simple. Suppose it’s a sign of the times.

I agree mate. I thought the last home game against Everton was brilliant and Bournemouth is close to a top of the table clash.

There’s Blues saying their families won’t buy these cheap tickets because they aren’t guaranteed to see Man U or the bin dippers at home. I couldn’t care less and stopped going to their (terrible rags and dippers) grounds (on away days) yonks ago.

The same issues were about last season but Blues snapped up the tickets (returns) for weekend games. Some people might want to continue in protest mode indefinitely but their friends and family probably get sick of listening to them.

I see that new Premier League rule which forced City to bring in these ticket transfer changes, where they must know exactly who is in the ground, has been temporarily forgotten about for the Bournemouth game.

I’ve got a spare ticket for the Bournemouth game which I simply can’t arsed to move on. It’s going to sit empty.

Wow. Genuinely thought they would fly off the shelves at that price.

Wait til next Friday when the club put hundreds of the hospitality seats which they can’t shift back on the planner as normal seats.
The seats that they are charging £350.00 for which includes a KFC Bucket meal and a free programme
