Does anyone else feel like this?

So what is happening ? Club selling them? staff selling them? Supporters clubs? Someone is.
It has to be the club. There are too many tickets ending up on ticketing websites, for it not to be. Whether it’s home or away games it’s rows of tickets together at times.

This is where an independent supporters trust would come in, look at these issues and stand up for our fans.

Just leaving anfield now feel rather deflated not with the football but with what I am now witnessing and have been for a while people I know who have followed city for years couldn’t get a ticket today yet I witnessed empty seats
Probably because these football sites couldn’t sell them on at inflated prices, tourists taking selfies all game which will only get worse and police treating us as scum. 1973 was my first game and I think this season will be my last can’t stomach it anymore it’s becoming a piss take now, I will always love the club but it’s becoming less attractive every week anybody who knows me knows I travel extensively all over Europe and England but I think my time’s coming soon to watch on the Firestick with a brew and sandwiches anyone else feel the same
Gone on record this week after CL at home won’t be going again to any cup games at Etihad well not just out of a habitual calling anymore. Some of it is age health and recent lethargic state of mind especially after the COVID season and a bit. Those games I have missed and watched at home on the stick have been tolerable especially mid week during the winter. What I could never end up doing is going to the pub to watch I home game I’d be too ashamed. Al be it since COVID I can’t get an away ticket anymore as you have stated for the same reasons. Even as far back as 2012 I was pissed off with the number of arseholes who’d acquired away tickets ….. remember the Villa away game when 6 fuckin wankers in front of me thought Yaya was Kolo

I announced I was a City fan aged four - 1964. At the age of eight I went to my first game - we beat Liverpool 1 - 0 at home - Franny scored. So I've seen brilliant times, good times, bad times, average times, more bad times, false dawns, and now these glory days. At the age of sixty-three I'm enjoying it more than ever - totally different POV than some others on here. We have, quite rightly, moved with the times. The abundance of tourists has no effect on my desire to watch us play.

Clearly, some on here are not quite tuned-in to what we are now - analogues in a digital world - and don't feel that they fit in, so it's probably best they consider handing their season tickets to others that are desperate for tickets. We have two season tickets in our family - one shared between my sons - one son drives from Kent to our games. I have other sons constantly looking for tickets - loud and enthusiastic lads - others will be in the same boat.

So my advice to the older weary fans - slow down, sit down on your comfy sofa, feet up, hot drink, watch us on telly and give someone else a chance.

Btw, we intend to relocate from Manchester to the Fylde coast within the next six months - I've already joined the local supps club there. Can't wait - will be going to all home games!!!!
 
This is the main point. It’s the club who are to blame. All they care about is making money. It’s not the tourists fault at all.
Not sure if you have heard of FFP? Making money is quite important if you want to compete at the top.

Just posted on Liverpool ticket thread that there were two guys, one with a rag bobble hat on, both with rag gloves on. They bought tickets from a ticket agency and left on 80 minutes. The club is 100% shafting the genuine fan by knowingly taking these tickets effectively off sale to SC holders. Can 1894 group who seem to have contacts in thr club or City Matters address this issue. Away tickets need to be in the hands of genuine fans. When will the club sort this out and when will we, the fans, say enough is enough.
 
I gave up my ST after COVID, just lost the habit of going and the extra problems with parking created by the club.

Running my Sky contract down and recently embraced the Dodgy Firestick...

The game left me behind a while ago and I gave up hanging on.
 
Is it just the club though? I’m sure they are partly to blame but fans must be selling tickets too. There are too many tourists now at the big games for this not to be the case. Someone paying £30 today for that could probably have sold their ticket for £400.
I agree but think the club hold the majority of the blame rather than part of. If they cared they could easily find out whose entered a ground on a ticket on behalf of someone else - and warn/ban that ST holder for selling their ticket
 
Doesn't bother me at all that we have lots of tourists at our games. I observed a few the other night at the Copenhagen game and it made me smile watching them giving it some with their enthusiastic support..... Chinese supporters with club shop bags, first timers giving it the biggun at their first Champions League game, families coming to watch the best team in the world....why not?

I can't for the life of me understand why any rag would want to go to this game.
Probably yanks.
 
Yh true biggest game in world football atm do understand neutrals with money of course are going to want to go can’t blame them. Just sad the club are more encouraging it rather than looking out for people who’ve been everywhere supporting us no matter the situation
Those neutrals should be in hospitality/in the home end. Our away end should be for blues

Looking at their phone pictures looks like they were at the swamp yesterday and seem to have visited many grounds. Think they were African. But the point is, if they enjoy watching PL football go in the home end. Being able to but limited away end tickets is a piss take. You wouldn’t go to watch Rangers away at Aberdeen and wear a Celtic hat.
 
Spurs are removing the over 65s concessions if they get away with it others will follow suit Support the club through thick thin and thinner 60 seasons, think I deserve the concession, hopefully City don’t follow suit

What sort of person wears rag gear at Anfield in the City end ? Sums up the way the game has gone. The number of half & half scarves in EL3 for the derby last Sunday was embarrassing.
