Huh. I went to see Scritti Politti at the RNCM a couple of weeks ago. Bought the tickets last minute from my partner's work colleague, so had no idea I was going to be asked to provide proof of my vaccination status and proof of a COVID negative test. Explained the situation to the guy on the door who said "Oh, well, as long as you wear your mask once you're in then you'll be alright" and waved me and my mate through. Imagine similar things will happen outside the Etihad tomorrow.
You can very easily cheat the system very easily I discovered when you report a result online. There are zero safeguards against someone with a positive test reporting a false result. With over 50000 people in attendance I'd have to assume there are a greater than zero amount of people doing this, and there's no way to know who they are.

The email from the club states that you will be allowed to enter if you haven't got proof, that's for tomorrows game.
All parts of stadium for Palace…
Dear Supporter,
The Premier League has updated its matchday protocols for supporters and all clubs will now be implementing COVID Pass spot checks from this weekend onwards.
To start this process at Manchester City vs Burnley on Saturday 16th October, spot checks will take place in the Legends hospitality suite only.
If you have a ticket in Legends, you may be asked to present evidence of your vaccination status, or evidence of a negative Lateral Flow Test, prior to your entry, if you are over the age of 18.
Whilst we strongly encourage supporters to adhere to this change in the matchday protocols, you will not be declined entry if you are unable to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Lateral Flow Test, at this time.
At Manchester City vs Crystal Palace on Saturday 30th October and at subsequent Premier League matches, spot checks will operate stadium wide.
Please ensure that you have a valid NHS COVID Pass on your mobile device and be ready to present this if you are asked to do so by a steward. Information about how to download your NHS COVID Pass can be found here. Alternatively, you can request a printed COVID Pass letter from the NHS by telephoning 119 or by visiting the NHS website here.
If you are travelling from outside of England you can provide proof of vaccination that is available to you from your local health authority.
You can also take a Lateral Flow Test within 48 hours of your visit to the Etihad Stadium, register it with the NHS and present proof of your negative test result. Tests can be ordered for free here.
Please remember that you must not attend a match if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or if you are at risk of passing on COVID-19. The UK Government’s current stay at home guidance is available here.
We will continue to work closely with the Premier League over the coming weeks and will provide you with more information relating to compulsory COVID-19 certificates, should they be introduced later this season.
Thank you for your continued support.

Why do spot checks then still not deny people entry if they can’t provide proof?Spot checks ONLY in Legends Lounge this weekend v Burnley.
Being introduced throughout the ground from the Palace game in a couple of weeks.
Will not yet be denied entry if you can't provide the proof.
is it some sort of trial to see if the checks work when implemented throughout the whole stadium?

Think they will need trials to work out how they will do it SHOULD the legislation come in from the government at any point this winterWhy do spot checks then still not deny people entry if they can’t provide proof?

Same here 20 seconds tops, first world problems or what.Just noticed my pass had expired. Updated it. Took less than a minute to do
It doesn’t say that at all. It just says random spot checks all over the stadium from the Palace game. Says they will be in touch if compulsory covid certificates are introduced later in the season.Not denied entry only applies to the Burnley game. Statement clearly says for the Palace game you wont get in if spot checked and you do not have the appropriate Covid pass.
