If you have read any of this thread you will know the empty blocks of seats are CITY seats amongst other things .once a seat is sold they carnt re sell it .add to the mix kids young families working shifts etc and the total waste of time to upgrade kids tickets .put them in one place and you will always have more empties than in other areasKippaxCitizen said:It's another dig because there are more empty seats in that area of the ground than anywhere else. I've got mates who have been priced out of their seasoncards, i have family members who've looked at getting tickets for some games only for the game to be listed as "SOLD OUT". Yet there are more seats empty in the Family Stand than any other area of the ground. There are certain seats that never seem to have anyone in them.mrtwiceaseason said:Yet another dig at the family stand ! Those kids are the future of city and both yourself and city want to get rid of them .said it before quite happy to bring the kids up and have them run round the hardcore stand up armfolder ultras in the south stand.just think we could start a new thread why are there empty seats in the south stand on a school night !!!KippaxCitizen said:That fucking Family Stand and relocating all those fans that were there before is the worst thing this club has done since the takeover.
Absolutely abysmal idea!
There might well be empty seats in the SSs but there are only odd ones.
The two standing areas are the most full sections of the ground for all games and are the most full sections of the ground come the final whistle of all games. I don't even stand in either of those areas.

Tin hat is going on now. :-)

You are entitled to your opinion but one of the attractions of having the kids low down is they can actually see the players and make out who they are and being behind the goals I think it builds on their match day experience when we score.my kids and myself being honest would not want to watch the lovely positional play that our unrecognized hero's create.and just a personal view if we were offered level 3 for free I think we would jack it in .it just feels so detached up there .but each to their ownjrb said:I appreciate this won't go down well with some folk on here, but I would relocate the Family Stand to the 3rd level of the North Stand when it's buil(empty seats wouldn't be as visible on the TV), and turn the full bottom tier of the North Stand into a singing section.

Blue Streak said:Okay then. My mate (a Rotherham United fan) and his partner (a City fan) had purchased tickets in the Colin Bell Level One for the Wednesday game. This morning they have received notice that the tickets have been cancelled. Obviously the assumption was as he has a South Yorkshire post code and Sheffield Wednesday have 'sold out' the South Stand then MCFC are concerned that Wednesday fans are trying to get tickets in the home sections. However they have previous purchasing history having attended Champions League games and ordering items from the website and surely City must have other fans with South Yorkshire postal codes?
Having tried to buy and shift tickets myself don't have a problem paying a small premium to save the hassle of handing over a ticket and have it loaded onto a membership card .don't have any problem people asking £100+ good luck to em if they think they are going to sell.but what I carnt get my head round is once the games sold out why you can't price your ticket at £5 if you want and stand a chance of shifting itjrb said:The penny has only just dropped.
Just been on the OS and the Sunderland match still isn't sold out. There's only a few seats left in a few blocks. Most blocks are sold out. But there still isn't a link to Viagogo and the tickets they've bought off City. The link must only kick in when the OS states match sold out.
I've just gone on the Viagogo site and they still have *431* seats for sale over *20 pages*. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.viagogo.co.uk/mcfc/Sports-Tickets/Football/Barclays-Premier-League/Manchester-City-Tickets/E-670759" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.viagogo.co.uk/mcfc/Sports-Ti ... s/E-670759</a>
So before no shows(not having a go at them) tomorrow, there will be over 400 empty seats which Viagogo have either bought off City, or from fans who are trying to sell their seats via viagogo.
That's potty. Explains why there are so many empty seats. Once again, I assume the club isn't arsed about empty seats as they've got their money off the fans and Viagogo already for those seats. Only the fans and viagogo will lose out.
I honestly don't know what Viagogo are getting out of this sponsorship deal with City. Are they actually making any serious money over the season?
