Seat Counters 25/26

I doubt it mate. Most die hards would have been on the website at 10am. Also, the view of the “seat counters” were that tickets needed to be sold fast (some suggesting 2 per Cup scheme member) if we are to shift our full allocation.

To be fair, that was probably me after stupidly inviting my partner, who only attends 2-3 games per season.(ironically the vast majority being Carabao Cup matches v Watford and Brentford etc) to London for that weekend

I was eligible this morning but I've got to wait until Thursday before she becomes eligible and then I can buy two together.

In contrast there are supporters who've sat in my block for the last 20 seasons, but are nowhere to be seen when there's an unattractive midweek cup match just before Christmas.

They'll be eligible before her, which using my biased logic is unfair

I agree it’s a bit unfair mate. Hope you get sorted with the tickets you need.

I know there will be enough tickets for everyone overall but the better value ones sometimes get picked over.
 
Was on bang on 10 after going in the queue at 9.30, pretty much every row 1-10 behind the nets were already gone. Only the odd single available from then.

City should have sorted this out when Arsenal had theirs on sale, the criteria should never have been 15k plus to start should have at least had 20k as well at a minimum to split it up.

Hard work with them lowering the cheap tickets downstairs from row 16 to 10. I’d have binned off going if only the dearer lower tier or the gods were available.

There were £75 tickets on sale all the way up until 1pm, absolutely nothing wrong with the decision to start at 15k points.

Also worth noting that there is an 1894 section, which is the reason for there being none of these seats in block 134.

Edit: Think it was more like 5 or 6 blocks that got added as there are only 2 blocks greyed out now so blocks 532 and 533 were part of those added, maybe even 534. @EastMidlandsBlue can you confirm?

This is correct, it was only up to block 534 that was on sale earlier so 5 blocks (529-533) have been added which is approx 4,300 seats.

So at 2pm:

L1: 3971
L2: 263
L5: 9,877

Total Left: 14,111 (I'd estimate that about 1,200 sold since your pre 1pm count @M18CTID)
 
Level 1 - 3989
Level 2 - 262
Level 5 - 9869

Total - 14,120

Bear in mind 5 or 6 blocks in Level 5 were added to the planner (Edit: 5 blocks as confirmed by @EastMidlandsBlue) at 1pm which probably amounted to an extra 4500 seats or so. That leaves only 2 Level 5 blocks to go on sale plus the £125 Level 2 tickets. Oh, and any that City find down the back of the sofa!

So are we thinking around 16,000+ left altogether out of the initial near 32,000 allocation, assuming what's to still go on sale?

I'm thinking at the moment that this comfortably sells out and that includes any additional tickets we might get. This is based on the sheer number of members who have taken up the slack for FA Cup semis in the past when plenty of ST holders have decided not to go. We've sometimes shifted north of 10,000 tickets to members for those games and with this being a cup final, I'd expect demand to be even higher amongst members than for those semi-finals.

I'm calling it now - the flappers can stand down, the big flag can stay in storage gathering dust, and any Gooners thinking they're getting any tickets from our allocation can fuck right off!

Added to that our London aways always sell well and early. Growing number of City fans in the capital, through relocation and a few band waggoners.
