I think its on the club mate to put process's in place to ensure criteria are met for purchase. You decentralise the approval process and it opens it up for corruption as we have seen many times with the OSC's for big gamesMy issue is with the OSC, why are they allowing supporters who have very little history etc, jump in front of supporters who have attended and have greater rights to getting tickets ?, it's totally wrong and they themselves know this, why ? they are acting against MANCHESTER CITY supporters, I don't believe the OSC was set up to do this ?. If this isn't the case please someone on Blue Moon correct me.
How many were available in initially?2147 left for the North stand test event
If it doesn't sell out they don't get to open the new stand at full capacity for the Villa game. But presumably if that were the case they could still open it for Villa at 50% capacity as a second test event?This is actually a more interesting little seat count than the cup final. If it doesn’t sell out they don’t get to open the new stand for the villa game. Huge jeapardy.
To be honest mate that's how I always thought it worked, fair enough some OSC's allowed other members to use the points of those who didn't attend certain matches which I was ok with as it didn't impact the number of tickets available , however I had no idea simply joining a OSC meant open days on any tickets you want regardless of points and I cant see the justification of it from either the OSC's or the club.It's simple, every ticket goes through the loyalty points scheme.
Most of the supporters clubs members have some sort of points and should qualify when its their turn.
If they haven't got the points it's tough tittie.
I you can't be bothered to have at least a memberships, you shouldn't be going.

They need 7,500 to be there. Not sure if they were all put up for sale.How many were available in initially?
Not sure that is the case. City want to put 7000 tickets on sale for Villa but before that can be done they have to hold a test event to cover at least 50% of that 7k hence putting 3500 test event tickets up for sale of which there are around 2150 left according to a recent counter….I think…They need 7,500 to be there. Not sure if they were all put up for sale.

No definitely not the case , you are able to obtain them regardless of points.So if you are a member of the OSC you have to have the correct criteria to obtain a ticket ?
How have you got that from what I posted.So if you are a member of the OSC you have to have the correct criteria to obtain a ticket ?
You are way off with your figure.Nope all supporters clubs will have been given an allocation after city have deducted the amount on the cup scheme and players staff and official sponsors have had there share. I'd say 2000 tickets between all supporters clubs. I do agree tho these tickets should have been allocated at a certain price say cat 3 or cat 2 nobody should be allowed a certain price ticket unless it's there window that is a right shit show.
So there were more cat 3 for this in level 1 than the League Cup?Got my two. Wanted the same seats in 137 as we had for the League Cup but all greyed out. I was in at 10:01 so can't imagine that whole area sold out in less than a minute. Maybe reserved for OSC.
FYI - the change over from Cat 3 to Cat 2 in Level 1 is row 14/15 this time (was row 10/11 for the League Cup)
Plenty in level 1 at £125 …more if you want the side of the pitch rather than behind the goal. Same for tier 5 in the 125 seats. If you want £50 seats there are still a decent amount in safe standing level 5 (about 2k I reckon) but barely any of the £80 in level 5 left. After that it’s the 175+ tickets which are shifting slowly. This is a very rough count after 4 kronenburgs tho so feel free for one of the experts to correct meHas anyone got a rough breakdown of what's left by ticket price?
So there were more cat 3 for this in level 1 than the League Cup?
Can someone say what row cat 3 starts in the level 5 side blocks please? 549-552 etc Are there any of those left?
Good steady work today mate. Thanks for the updates and analysis.Current Count:
L1: 2,767
L2: 333
L5: 5,898
Total Left: 8,998
Now selling faster than the Palace final. I think there's going to be very few, if any left for matchday members.
