It's a few years away yet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how City sell the additional 6000 seats being created by the North stand expansion. And the percentage of new season tickets (made available) v matchday tickets.

One major caveat to bear in mind is Pep may not be our manager by then?

That’s a very interesting point jrb, if we are still successful I think they may offer some Silver ST’s, but no full ones, they can make a lot more money from individual match ticket sales.

Agree on this - the club owners are custodians for the core fans and once we have a few so-so seasons after Pep goes in two years they probably won’t give a shit as they’ll just pivot to a new money making strategy but it won’t be as easy for them then. Pep is the brains behind the football and the major draw for top players. His departure changes a lot with regards interest in the club. I’m sure Chelsea are feeling that right now. United and Liverpool could have Gerry Creaney up front and they’d still sell out to tourists.

The power of the media, the rags and dippers know how to use it.
 
I always think back to last seasons CS. Walking away after City lost to Liverpool and (honestly) not being arsed about it.

Then on Monday reading the football media frenzy and the giddy Scousers. (Nunez v Haaland).

After that, as they say, the rest is CL and Treble history. :-) Whilst Liverpool and Nunez had to make do with......

True, but the 5 I've attend I have enjoyed immensely because of the lack of nerves. Nice not to be in a 'must win' situation! Well, maybe not the first one because I was only about 7, or the rags as it was still a derby!. But generally, it's a day for enjoying the occasion and being happy that 'footballs back' after close season. Great to win, not one toss given if we lose.
Last year was great, we lost the game but won the 'best atmosphere' trophy hands down, something which the media would have people believe only Liverpool are capable of.
I'm not going this year and never was. I want my feeling and emotion of welcoming City back after The Cup win and Istanbul to be at our first home game.

I said a while back on here that I don't think they will sell new season tickets even when the new stand opens.
They will allow people to transfer their existing season ticket up there and sell 2000 new silver tickets either up there or filling in the gaps of those who transferred up there but think we won't see new full season tickets being available for 5 years +
