Oh I'm sure we'll see plenty of empty seats pre Christmas when we get a 12 o clock kickoff or something. But it's impressive & it shows how the attendances are on track to continue improving, which will piss off the usual suspects, no end.

Not sure if this is the right thread but I tried to buy 3 seats together in the family stand online for the Palace game mid week. It was a last minute thing as I'd given up my seasoncards as was supposed to be away. I got a message saying that there were non available however when I was watching it on tv there were loads of empty season seats. I can't believe that there were that many in the cup scheme that wouldn't then not bother or am I missing something. Can anyone explain online sales because I'm not sure how that can happen??

This happened to me for the Sevilla game. Ended up in the Colin Bell and cost me extra to do so. Visibly empty seats in the family stand then too
 
Spoke to someone in the corporate seats today. Liverpool game has been really busy. They only have a very few left in Legends lounge and have been inundated with demand. This game could honestly have sold 65,000 plus in my opinion if we had the capacity.

I agree. Back in the day the dippers often brought 7-8,000 to Maine Road when the Kippax was terracing. We could probably sell 5,000 more away tickets for this match plus a minimum of 5,000 home tickets (maybe 10,000). It's actually scary to think what the demand will be for Arsenal if it's the match that decides the title. I reckon that would be 80,000 plus if we had the capacity.
 
I bought 3 more today for 3 clients at work. £540 pounds for 3 in joes!

Expensive but good to see the club maximising revenue streams.

Wrong! Could have sold [maybe] 100k. I know plenty that would love to go.

Sooner ADUG get on with the rest of the expansion, the better.

I actually put 85000 in my original post but toned it down! If you think we have sold 55000 already with 2 weeks to go. If this game was 10 pounds and we could have 10000 away fans then we would get 100k. We have to just expand the ground and have seats from 1 pound for kids to corporate levels. Build it and we will fill it.

Fair enough. I don't believe your figure to be an exaggeration.

Well, I am told that 75k-odd is possible by 'filling in' at the corners so who knows...

Definitely agree on cheaper seats.

I'm happy I decided to become Citizen in August. With planetickets booked in August it woulld been terrible not being able to buy match tickets.
Bought my liverpool tickets at 9h07 and there where not many good spots left (we wanted to sit 4 next to eachother in lower level).
Found some seats in the east stand 102 row E.
Price is higher then expected, also because of the pound - euro exchange, but its a lifetime experience for a Belgian.

Hope the stadium will expand further in future. The only question is if the stadium will also be filled in bad times.

Enjoy you're trip blue! Regardless whether it will be full, the crowds will always be good.

You've picked a great game to come over for, the rivalry between City and Liverpool has increased somewhat over recent years! ;-)
