At City Today.

[i kne albert davy]

Erm, no one will be sitting down.

Certainly not during the National Anthem. I shall be patrolling the stadium and listing seat numbers of those who mumble or do not appear to know the words.

won't take you long to spot Rooney and have him out on his ear then.

Anyone know why the Club are opening the ground for access from 6AM?

Are they letting you queue inside the ground then going up to the Ticket Office above the shop, or they selling them from the booths behind the North Stand?

no mate. don't wait that long. it will be sold out by then lad.
supporters clubs have sold out there section. 6,000 today, lots more tomorrow for people with 5,000 points then they will sell out at 4000 loyalty points which will be teusday or wednesday. there going like hot cakes.

ffs, just stop it
there are only 36000 season card holders
last year there were 33000 and the year before 28000
there's no way they are all on the cup direct scheme or have 4000 points (which is impossible)

the club know that if everyone gets a ticket when they should then it will sell out at 2000
not everyone will want one, some may not bother

I've been a season card holder since we moved to CoMS when this loyalty points system started. I haven't officially attended any away matches, so no points there and I've only missed a couple of cup games or friendlies.
My points total is almost as much as it could be without any away matches and I have 4020
I reckon more than half of the people in the CDS have 5000 points or more so my prediction is it will sell out at around 2000 points
I remember the scramble for West Ham quarter final tickets a few years ago and the panic that set in when they first went on sale. We had around 35,000 to sell for a home game and there were tickets still available in the last week before the game.

i didn't go today

but there have been a number of posts from those that did and it seems as thought there have been a lot less
only to be expected really

I would have thought there would be a fair few seeing the points were dropping, just hope they get to 2250 so I can get the lad one.

That's when I can get one, other wise I'll be dipping into the savings and payoff over the odds. Think if you've got 2000 or over you'll be fine... I hope :-/

Later...when Blue/moon/vibe reports indicate the queue has gone.

The West Ham q/f referred to was not sold out, only 33,000 blues there.

I reckon this will go to general sale. difficult to say, but the majority of fans aren't going to queue as they have work or are based outside Manchester. And most blues who queue will be buying for groups of 2 or more.
