Just been offered chance (email from City) to relocate back to my own seats in Block 315, which has just been "released due to high demand". Bit late to start messing about now and I thought no tickets were on sale now. Strange!!

I thought that the third tier of the SS was reserved as a sort of overflow area for Celtic fans!?
And yes, bit late now.

This is the email, seems very odd that all of a sudden there is high demand when they have been off sale since Sunday!!

As a member of the 2016/17 UEFA Competitions Cup Scheme, the Club had previously contacted yourself to advise that the third tier of the South Stand would be closed for both the Borussia Monchengladbach and Celtic fixtures and that subsequently, you would be allocated an alternative seat.

Due to high demand for the Celtic match however, the Club have been able to release additional seating within block 315.

Althoughwe cannot guarantee that your own seat will be available, we would like to offer supporters the opportunity to relocate back to the South Stand third tier for the Celtic match due to be played this evening, kick off 7.45pm.

PLEASE NOTE: As of midnight Sunday 4th December, the Celtic match was removed from sale and as such no additional purchases can be processed.

If you would like to relocate your seats for the Celtic match, or discuss alternative options with a member of Supporter Services, please contact the Club on0161 444 1894(option 1, option 3).

Kind regards,

Supporter Services

Did anyone hear the Celtic Fan on Jim Wyatt's TS Show this morning claiming that he had about 10 Tickets in the City End thanks to his friends in Northwich?
 
Just seen that City Square is closed after the game, annoyingly.

I got this e-mail as well at 11:30 this morning, so rang the ticket office 30 mins later to change back to my season ticket seat in 315, which is on the front row.

When I rang, I was told all of rows A-L were sold out & I could only move to anything behind that.

So, Tickets stopped selling on Sunday at Midnight, which means these tickets must have been on sale prior to that, but no communication to tell us this (Despite being told on twitter by City when I asked them when they opened 317 & 318 that when 315 came available we would be informed) until 8 hours before kick off.

They never help themselves do they....

I'm in 318 on the champs league scheme, I was initially relocated from there to block 322 in colin bell

I received an email the same as this but at least 1 week ago saying I could move back to my original seat if I wanted to.I havn't bothered

I booked a holiday for today so I can have a drink instead of rushing from work and Im not even bothering going as it stands at the moment

Seems totally bizarre to offer this at 1130 this morning when as City said they were stopping selling tickets on Sunday night. Therefore they must have known then that 315 was available.
On a side note I think we should have given Celtic the whole of SS3 would have made for a great atmosphere. Think they will now be all over the ground.
