Jesus... thanks alot for that answer. Almost a FAQ post which should be pinned for "few posts gold diggers". I know I'm in an expensive position... It's just that I don't like or trust these online touts (They exist in Sweden as well) and if someone "real" have spare tickets and want to make the same profit why not? Regarding the match selection I don't really buy it, it's a high profile game for us just because the chances are that we'll enjoy fotball at a higher level. Supply and demand. At least half the cost for us to go to Manchester will be flight and accomodation anyway so why not try to aim high? It will be a once in a lifetime trip so hopefully the result will be memorable.
Ha, sorry didn't mean to come across too negative...you're of course free to choose whatever game you think best. The lesser games are so much easier for newbies to get tickets though, you'll pay really big money for Arsenal. It was also a really crap game last year, as was Liverpool, I brought the kids over to Forest last season and it was super simple, flights were much cheaper as were match tickets, than for the big games.
Part of me is just intrugued by new posters looking for marquee game tickets, when there are alternatives if they want to come and see City. Part of me is also probably just bitter that after more than 30 years of going over, I didn't get what I wanted for Arsenal this year! The ticket demand has just exploded in the last 2 years, that's Erlings fault....we were brilliant for years before that, but tickets were pretty easy to get. Not anymore.
Watch out for ticket scams for the big games, Livefootball tickets is i think genuine, but you'll get fleeced price-wise. It pisses me off that they have loads of Arsenal tickets and I don't! But they have solid reviews.
I'll wish you luck with your ticket search, as you long as you don't end up with mine :-)
Enjoy the game.
