Yes and still sold out. Had the same problem for Utd tickets this morning. Couldn't have been any quicker refreshing the page and logging on, only to get a message all tickets sold. Kept refreshing the page,to then get a message saying this event has sold out.
Wanted to get a ticket for my son, who's just started life at Uni in Manchester primarily so he can get to most City matches. With just under 18K points he's never gonna get the necessary points for most away games under the usual sales criteria, yet he's had a season ticket since birth.
As an aside, it's also frustrating to see so many young City fans at matches not there for the football. At Sheffield Utd, two fans next to me disappeared for drinks twenty minutes before half-time and re-emerged 15 minutes into the second half. Last week at Wolves, the young City fan next to me spent 10 minutes on his phone browsing the Next catalogue and of course also missed most of the match for an extended half-time.. Yesterday at Arsenal, the two next to me turned up towards the end of the first half, while the young family of three behind me could be heard willing Arsenal players to shoot.
How do these 'fans' get their tickets?
