Who's going to buy 4000 new match day tickets, bar for the big PL games?

Don't think there's even that many schoolchildren in Scotland!

There better be a lot of £25 tickets next season

A snap shot of two blocks on SSL3 with 2 different ticket prices for tonight's match.

2 seats left in 313.



117 seats left in 318.



PS. The North stand looks great.

 

[Ben-Josh]

Those £30 tickets went reasonably quick (was £25 for Cityzens). They are going to have to price it right with all the extra seats available next season or end up with thousands empty at certain games.

I know it was the unsold away end but who’s going to pay £51 when the exact same view cost £30.

 

[eyalluvitt]

I thought they would dangle the carrot of priority access for Villa tickets.

Or a free Youth cup final ticket including armoured car transportation

Think they'll sell the 4000 or most of them, what we might find though is S/C seats put on the exchange,or Flexi Gold seats not taken up 3 weeks before some games will be harder to shift.Which doesn't bother me,but might upset a few of those that don't like to see some empty seats some time.

 

[blueyorkie]

real madrid fans will take up slack

They don’t fill half of their allocation worse than Fulham

 

[NickyWeaverTheMagician]

For every person that attends, that's two seats that can open for the Villa game.

A big day where we could still be in with a hope of winning the title (and treble), saying bye to Bernardo and Stones, and creating a memorable final day and stand opening atmosphere.

To me, that is the incentive. Everything else is a bonus.

All of which I will be a part of anyway so no incentive to me individually, for the club so they can sell more sure.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I’m hearing rumours they are putting together a montage of famous City goals on screen at the corner of the stand for this. Absolutely fucking buzzing. What an occasion.

 

[LevyBee76]

It’s nearly sold out with a week to go.

The club won't care how long it takes to sell out, just as long as it hits the numbers.

If anything people are more likely to buy and commit if it takes a while compared to if it sold instantly

Test event - 60 (8 in level 1 which weren't available yesterday)
60 tickets sold in a day

The City Hall and Cross Bar take up wanting to see what it’s like before the commit Financially?

 

[WARBABY]

If it was 1996 then it might be full. But it’s 2026, people are a lot more stretched time wise and there’s basically a load of other things to do instead.

£5 in return for a pie and a pint? I personally wouldn’t turn up if they paid me and gave me a pie and pint on top for free. My free time is more valuable than that.

This isn’t a criticism of the club, more an observation of life in 2026.

Your right in 2026 everyone wants something for nothing.

Take away some of the restrictions, especially the £35 citizen membership & price them correctly at around £30, which I believe the club are doing for next season & I don't think they'll be a problem filling the 4k extra seats. The demand is there its just that the clubs eyes lit up when the Real Madrid fans bought loads of Citizen memberships for the UCL semi final

You're not getting anywhere near those areas surely?

If I won the lottery I’d try them out, but that’s about it. I’m happy standing on SSL1, and having a scoop in the SSL1 bar. I am looking forward to seeing the concourses and bars on NSL2, and comparing them to the SSL1 bar area and bar.

My new camera arrives on Monday. Just in time for the test event.

Lol, I meant on the day rather than buying an ST there.

If I want to relocate to the North Stand with a mate will I be able to choose 2 seats together and allocate 1 to him ? He's on my friends and family list.
