What’s the capacity of the nine blocks we’ve taken? I.e. How many have we sold?
Click to expand...
The capacity of those blocks is 4,900 and we've fallen about 200 short so I agree with @Matty M24blue's suggestion that we've sold about 4,700.

A pretty good effort considering about a week ago people were worrying that we might struggle to take 3,000.

It's a sign for sure but I think Real Madrid at home is a game that still sells itself insofar as any slack vacated by disillusioned fans is easily taken up by members, etc. I'm just surprised that they haven't announced any new criteria yet

Says in the ticket info that further criteria will be released Monday.

Can still see the club requiring purchase history, as they'll deem this to be a high risk fixture for away fans in the home end.

Yeah, it will be 2 CL games attended since the start of last season and 1 CL game if tickets still remain

Tbh with the frankly ludicrous way this game has been priced by the club, it would send a message to them if there were rafts of empty seats.

However Im sure the club will lower the criteria to a level where any Madrid fanboy/girl, half/half scarf wearer or influencer etc can get in, and itll be another bobbins CL night atmosphere.

There will be loads of Madrid fans in the home end either way, if previous games are anything to go by.

We had all the restrictions in place against Galatasary and it was full of their fans

They aren’t even Madrid fans in the traditional sense. They are just young TikTok modern football tourist types who will be just as happy to see Haaland as Vinicius Junior in the flesh. Doesn’t really bother me. They aren’t trouble makers. If our fans won’t come I’d rather we got the revenue from somewhere.

There are lots of neutrals who will want to watch Haaland and Mbappe. Of course they should be able to do that if tickets are left.

Weird thing the last time was the Madrid fans in our end when they could not sell out tickets in their end.

That’s because of what I said above. They aren’t from Madrid, they aren’t match goers, they do their supporting on TikTok. It’s the new breed of Gen Z football follower, posting their selfies and hosting polls about who is the GOAT.

Dangerous that - I'd rather we priced it to encourage our own fans to fill the place.
Go for a family bundle, or kids for £5 (or even a quid) - anything that gets us a next generation of City fans for when we're not quite so good

Or they are a huge club with a big fan base in the UK.
City an ideal game to try and get tickets for any European fan of any club in UK.

We do need to do something radical, I agree, as our match going fanbase is dwindling, but it is only £20 for kids behind the goal in this game and there’s still loads left. I think the club will be shocked at the lack of demand for this game.

I think next season they have to forget about revenue completely and try to breathe some life back into the crowds. They have the perfect opportunity.

Yes, agreed completely. Back to basics. Fill the ground as much as we can, as often as we can. The rest will take care of itself. The feel-good factor would rub off on increased food and drink sales, and probably merchandise too.

I actually see the Real Madrid game as being similar to Lech Poznan all those years ago. The third tier of the East Stand was basically given to Polish neutrals, ie people interested in seeing a Polish team play without actually being Lech Poznan fans.

I suppose my overall feeling is that there's a place for tourists and half & halfers, but in an ideal world we'd give them a specific part of the ground. Pack the bottom two tiers with season ticket holders, make sure it always looks full on TV, etc. I know that the above opinion will piss people off, but a lot of the issues might be addressed.
 
just been having a look back at this thread for last seasons game against Madrid...this is where it was at a similar point

After going on Sale to Matchday Members who've attended 5 UCL games, Madrid has:

L1: 3,171
L2: 2,514
L3: 5,215
Total Left: 10,900

Approx 5,000 sold since yesterday. Based on that, I'd say theres still hope that it might go down to people who've attended 1 UCL game. There are still people in the queue so I'd expect a few more to sell before the next window.

Madrid have returned the top tier of the away end (Block 313/314) so an extra 1,500 seats or so have been added to L3.
