It truly was amazing.

I sit in cb3, the atmosphere can be flat as a witches tit but last night it was bouncing.
Not sure if that was due to the fact that a lot of non cup scheme season ticket regular moaners werent in their usual seat but last night people were up out their seats singing, poznaning, the lot. Loudest since hamburg for me

My 7 year old lad has mild ADHD, last night was maybe his 15th game. 5 mins in he was crying because the noise knocked him sideways a bit. 5 mins later hes out his seat singing (up n down as ADHD does) but just wanted to point out the level of noise was a bit much for him.
No idea where people were sat because it couldnt have been near me

Well said. A club that previously prided itself on smashing the world record transfer fee every summer despite being 100's of millions in debt. Pot, kettle springs to mind.

Unlike them we're reluctant to throw those sums around on one player or cherry pick the best players in the world. They should also remember that their ridiculously expensive galacticos team by and large underachieved.

“Get on the cup schemes?”

There are thousands who want to get a season ticket but are on a waiting list that doesn’t move. And you can’t get on the cup scheme without a season ticket.

There is no season ticket waiting list, just a window for memeber to try and buy any available after the renewal window, and no criteria on who gets one, much like the Madrid ticket fiasco
 
Was up in 304 and had a few day trippers around me and even a couple Madrid fans. The day trippers were making plenty of noise, joining in with the songs and generally looked like they were buzzing. Whilst id have preferred a true blue in their seat, at least they added to the noise.

Whilst I agree with pretty much all of your sentiments the season ticket holders had a two day window to purchase a ticket. There shouldn't have been any of them that wanted to go to the game that didn't.

The memberships on the other hand are a completely different story. Throwing everybody in the same window regardless of points or games attended was criminal. Hard to get organised for that. Even if you were logged on in good time they just throw you a random number in the queue when the window opens anyway. It's a complete lottery and no more organisation on the fans part can change that. Real shame the club would rather sell a few more memberships at the expense of rewarding the regular match-going fan.

I don't disagree one bit. And I see the frustration of posters like @threespires and others. At the same time, how and where does someone start, how do members get a chance to build points if there isn't availability for games without that requirement. Maybe the date of the membership comes into it a bit more.

This one seems to have been heavily imbalanced, but as a principle, a portion of tickets available as a free for all with a membership, once the SC and more regular match going fans have had their go at buying tickets is not a bad thing.

It’s people like this that annoy me. He’s actively mocked our support and club previously yet he gets a ticket over someone who’s a proper fan

I know it’s unavoidable at times, but I’d much rather have a city supporting ‘tourist’ in the ground than someone like this

I had a prick like this next to me against arsenal .
Got his phone out to start filming.
It soon went back in his pocket the bellend

I've said this before but the membership now is just a permission to buy a ticket. There'll be that many members it's essentially just a re-badged general sale.

There's no issue with somebody signing up to the membership and buying tickets. They shouldn't be expected to be in the same pot for tickets as more frequent match-goers for a game of that magnitude though. If you want to watch the club watch them against the likes of Forest, Southampton etc and get a bit of purchase history. Those that have been going to those fixtures over the years are more deserving of a ticket than somebody that's freshly signed up to the membership.

Even as something as basic as a 5 year buying history staggered like 20, 10, 5 games and then the free for all would filter out most of those purely interested in attending the clubs biggest home cup game in its history.

I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere
This was only my second game in Etihad, the first was the 6-3 win in the derby, and the atmosphere was much better there
Now I can understand why the club needs to restrict tickets in important games

If it was only your second game mate and you aren't just trying to piss people off on here I'd recommend you don't come back. The atmosphere is only going to upset you if you weren't satisfied last night.

Very well put. They can build up some purchase history at less glamorous games... don't just waltz into one of the biggest games in our history.
 
Thought the atmosphere was class. Pretty sure the bloke next to me was a united fan, mind! And not even a young, student type - he was a bald bloke in his 40s. Got off at 3 nil. Taking a chance there cos there was a lot of booze drank for that one last night

Your second game at the etihad? I've been watching city since 1980 and I couldn't get a ticket. You're right they definitely need to restrict tickets to important games!!

If the ground would have been full of local fans, they would have stayed until the end as well.

Not sure about that based on past games. In any case it was great to see everyone stay to be a part of the celebrations at the end. Pep and the boys deserve to see that more often.

He must be fishing mate, don't get sucked in. The utd game I think it had the 5 game restriction unless he bought one by other means.

Hopefully the shit atmosphere last night has put him off returning.

Bang on Edgey. It really wouldn’t be difficult for City to have a couple of extra sales windows that reward Cityzens members who have a decent amounts of points.
