I'm not sure how it works, paper tickets say you should have ID , if you bought the tickets maybe they need to be with you. They won't check most but if a group with Glaswegian accents turn up with printed City tickets, they might start asking for ID to see who bought them and is responsible for the group.
 
I wonder what has triggered this off? they wouldnt do it just for the sake of it so I wonder if they have been made aware of something untowards. I am as almost everyone is that there are going to be shit loads of celtic fans in our end, could this have triggered it? Last time celtic rocked up some of their fans were absolute cockends , has this triggered it? this extra ring of security will no doubt cause problems somewhere along the way, i dont have a problem with it, mainly because i will be there early enough, but no doubt it will cause issues.
 
At the stone roses gig they did this ticket check at the perimeter and that was a cock up but at least then you didn't have to show your ticket at the turnstile, you just walked in through the open doors. And that was just the south stand side.

This will cause thousands of city and Celtic queuing up along the road and down towards Mary ds.

I can see it being absolute bedlam.

There aren't printed tickets for this though
That wasn't an option and all were posted unless it was loaded onto a card

Didn't realise that. Still if people got them posted and sold them on to Celtic fans, they could ask for id and trace who sold them, if they ended up with Celtic fans.
 
I'm not sure about the ID thing but the extra checks will be to stop people turning up without tickets and forcing their way in old school european style I would guess.

It happened at Blackburn v Celtic, too many got in then ones with tickets ended up being locked out.
 
Perhaps the club have information that MIB's will be mingling with Celtic fans?

Mingling not minging!

Can't see a single problem with this at all

Nope.

Midweek night, the free-flowing traffic in Manchester, 50k converging on the stadium, the clockwork-like reliability of Metrolink, loads of pissed up Celtic fans, City's usual impeccable organisational excellence and a completely new security measure.

No - can't see any significant risks there.

Just photocopy yours and stick their picture on with blue tac or selotape, none of the stewards at City will notice, I've been fully searched with "the wand" with it beeping at almost every opportunity, but nobody seemed to give a f**k what I was carrying.

Glad I'm not bothering now it'll be a fiasco, but I can't bothered with the M6 closures on the way home and getting home at 2am, for what is now a nothing game, though my ticket will be (well should be given this potential fiasco) used.

Oh good, an external ticket check, what could possibly go wrong? From City's latest e-mail.

1. To ensure a safe and secure matchday, we have implemented an additional ticket check upon arrival at the Etihad Campus. You will be required to show your Seasoncard, Cityzens Membership card or valid match ticket at the green fence, which is the perimeter line around the campus. Ticket checks will also be carried out for supporter's disembarking the Metrolink Etihad Campus stop. Only supporters with a valid match ticket will be allowed access to the campus and can therefore enter the stadium.

2. All home supporters who are collecting pre-purchased tickets for the Etihad Stadium may do so from the Ticket Collection Unit located on the plaza at the Academy Stadium. We are open from 9am until 8pm on matchday. You can access via the bridge over Alan Turing Way and must provide photo ID when collecting your tickets. Supporters are strongly advised to collect their tickets before 6:30pm.

3. All ticketing enquiries will be dealt with at the Ticket Trailer located on the plaza of the Academy Stadium or by calling Supporter Services on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 1, option 3). We will be open from 9am until 8pm on matchday.

4. There will be no tickets sales on Monday 5 December or Tuesday 6 December.

5. Turnstiles will open at 6:15pm, 90-minutes before kick-off.
